I own this for the Ultimate Shadowcat references in a few profiles.
No reference of Shadowcat in the Fantastic Four profile but we are celebrating them this month, so we are including them here.

Ultimate Spider-Man, his profile ends with the statement that he is dating Shadowcat.

The individual Fantastic Four members get their own profiles as well. I like how on the bonus page with Significant issues, all of them state “See Fantastic Four” except Human Torch gets Ultimate Spider-Man 68 & 69, when he met Peter.
Fantastic Four
Origin : Ultimate Fantastic Four 1 – 6
Significant Issues : Battled Van Damme (Ultimate Fantastic Four 7 – 12); explored N-Zone (Ultimate Fantastic Four 13 – 18); battled Rhona (Ultimate Fantastic Four 19 & 20); met zombie counterparts (Ultimate Fantastic Four 21, 22 & 23) Essentially the first 23 issues. Which gives us the time frame of when this handbook came out.
Shocker, who I really like
Origin : Ultimate Marvel Team-Up 6
Significant Issues : First encountered Spider-Man (Ultimate Spider-Man 8); second encounter (Ultimate Spider-Man 35); third encounter (Ultimate Spider-Man 67); faced Spider-Man and Kitty Pryde (Ultimate Spider-Man Annual 1)
Spider-Man
Origin : Ultimate Spider-Man 1 – 6
Significant Issues : First faced Kingpin (Ultimate Spider-Man 8 – 12); Green Goblin returned (Ultimate Spider-Man 22 – 27); forced to join Osborn’s “Six” (Ultimate Sinister Six 1 – 6); Kingpin returned (Ultimate Spider-Man 47, 48 & 49)
