I find Reed's lack of social skills to be pretty realistic and sometimes actually charming because I get it, you know? And yeah the fact that the F4 and FF comics revolve around the idea of family both biological and found is why I am reading them. It's a really pleasant change compared to most comics out there.

Maria in the Secret Avengers line is being pretty ruthless to the point I see it as reprehensible...but I love her in Indestructible Hulk. *sigh* I like that she is so morally grey at times and is tough as hell but sometimes they make it really hard to actually like her.

Hawkeye isn't actually a SHIELD agent which is why all the mindwiping is happening...he doesn't have clearance. He's still against killing as far as I can tell.

Cyclops is interesting because the general masses are starting to see him as an anti-government icon beyond the mutant issues. College students are treating him as a sort of Che Guevera figure with his face on signs and shirts. The superhero community sees him as a dangerous bordering on villainous person, but there is some popular support. Magneto's point is to kill him is to forever martyr him to the general masses and all future mutants, but SHIELD should instead show him as an unstable man not a freedom fighter. Although, it's Magneto so things are likely even more complicated.
