 Actually I'd like to know this answer. I think the last one I saw was #6. What issue are we on and has the Special come out yet?

I actually know a bit about obscure Marvel cosmic stuff...and the Avengers as well. I'm racking my brain to figure out who the father is.
Yes, Mar-Vell certainly fits the bill. But I just don't see Marvel (company) doing that. Things are already a bit complicated.
Right now I have a feeling the Super Skrull may be his father. If the cancer thing was just a lie...I also suspect Starfox/Eros.
There also the skrull milk/meat...from the Skrulls who were turned into cows. This has Kree-Skrull connections as well. Some people who ate the meat got cancer like symptons...some gained powers. The Skrull Kill Crew was a mini (Grant Morrison) where they explored this.
Also Rick Jones had cancer...once. But Super Skrull made it sound like his father was super strong.

Reboot I agree Mar-Vell is too obvious.

# 9 kicked ass!
Kate looks awesome in costume (the cover).
Cheung kicks BIG HONKIN' ASS! I like the book a lot when he's away, when he's NOT away, I *adore* it!
I've seen enough Moms getting burned to death, even if she isn't his bilogical Mother, she's the only Mother he has ever known. That was too grotesque, and depressing. It should really have an impact on Hulkling.
OmiGAW.... does this mean Hulkling will end up moving in with Wiccan? They might be a bit young for all that, but I'll keep an open mind.
I *love* that Eli and Kate don't have "powers", just skills and gadgets... that is very 70s-ish Teen Titans. I **LOVE** it.
And I **LOVE** this book.

MLLASH, more interesting will be if Billy moves in with Eli or Kate I think. A straight guy rooming with a gay guy...or Kate who might get him addicted to shopping with her fat wallet.  Hey I thought it was very 80-ish Teen Titans...and I LOVE it also. This was one of the best issues of the series. I was worried after the two issues before this one...but they are certainly back on track.

http://www.comicon.com/pulse/ Over at the Pulse they have a preview of the YA Special #1. SPOILERS!!!!!!! If you think one of the choices for Hukling's dad is obvious...they really try to make it more obvious in the preview.

BINGO!!!
It just freaking came to me man. The Super Skrull himself had cancer...in two different stories!
First in Alpha Flight. When he fought Sasquatch.
Then he ended up being Captain Hero the kid in Power Man & Iron Fist...who was dying of a cancer type disease. Though he could've been faking that...since he was faking being Captain Hero.
Anyways atleast in the Alpha Flight story Sasquatch teleported him as energy into space. The Surfer saved him later in space.
So Super Skrull had cancer. He was my initial guess. Whew, no Captain Marvel. Super Skrull was also "buddies" with the empress S'Byll who I mentioned earlier.

Did anyone notice that the LMBP's own Martin Gray had a letter printed in issue #9's letter column? Go, go, LMBP!

It would have been even cooler if he signed it with his LMB moniker: "Dial H for HOMO!"

So, I'm guessing from the Special that Billy and Teddy weren't dating before the Young Avengers formed? And Cassie was having growth spurts before that night outside Avengers Mansion, but didn't realize it? Hmmmm... I liked the Special okay, but I would have liked to see some pinups by Jim Cheung or, even better, by George Perez (is there some way to involve George in every book I read? )

Can't believe no one else has mentioned this...
Anyone else notice who makes an appearance in the last 2 panels of the Special? Wonder if we'll be seeing more of them soon.
"Hey Jim! Get Mon out of the Zone!! And...when do we get Condo back?"
