      Is the Renee bit on the recap page or in an illustrated page?
      As it's the editorial team that write the recap.

      No, it tends to be the junior editors or even interns if I've read correctly.

      She's definitely captioned as Heather within the actual pages.

      Is it PlightFath?

      So, we're getting a real appearance of Heather in Ultimates? Cool.
