What was the relationship between the Carrier that belonged to the Authority and the Monitors? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the Carrier in FC somewhere in Mandrakk's fleet.

I think Monarch took control of it, or a similar ship.

How's Cap America alive again? As far as I remember he's been shot in the head and several people confirmed that it was his dead body, and Thor even talked to his soul ghost or whatever, either way he was dead. Kinda sick of the cheap excuses Marvel comes up with to bring back dead characters, why kill them in the first place if you know its gonna end up with some BS explanation... So how is he still around?

I heard those were some special bullets... and he did NOT get shot in the head. 1 bullet to the shoulder (fired by Crossbones) and 3 to the stomach (Sharon).

He got shot in the shoudler by Crossbones, then Sharon shot him with this gun invented by Doom that displaced his concousness in time.

No, it was fake Stark/Hill made to draw the New Avengers into a trap...

Wow that's nothing like what happened to Batman. No sir. 🙄

It's not really the same + Cap died first, and Brubaker seems to have had this planned for awhile.

It's more like Lost than anything else, with Cap continuously reliving parts of his own life, whereas Batman was literally sent back in time by the Omega Sanction.

Did they ever explain the conversation Thor had with Captain America's "ghost"?

Well, Mjolnir has the power to open up portals and access alternate dimensions, plus that Thor was backed by a portion of the Odinforce. It's entirely possible he was able to pluck Steve out of his limbo of sorts to speak with him.

Can Gambit's powers affect adamantium? Excuse me if the answer is obvious but I'm not a big X-Men expert.

It causes it to expend energy like an exsplosion but otherwise stay the same (I think)

I see. I wasn't sure if it was ever referenced again or not.

Anybody want to explain just when Quicksilver became faster than radio waves (see Mighty Avengers #35)? Radio waves move at light speed.

That was a wtf moment. Some think he meant sound-waves, but I'm not so sure. He is the 'fanboy writer' so he might aswell just have inserted that stuff and it bypassed the editor.
Somebody even asked him that directly on his forum:

(last post) And he ignored the question.
Or maybe he'll later reveal that he was amped by Loki or something.

The fact that no emphasis whatsoever was put on it is rather odd, considering it's an extreme feat, and it's presented as nothing as an afterthough "And faster than radio waves..".

I dismissed it as an idiotic mistake; maybe it's just me, but the writing for Mighty Avengers is really weak in my opinion.

It reminds of that issue of the Flash before it got cancelled where Wally said he was faster than light but not faster than thought...
