New FF line up?

A civil war quiz (possibly from Wizard magazine) has been doing the rounds that contains the following question.

Which pair of heroes will join the Fantastic Four after Civil War?

With the options...
Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, Human Galactus and Silver Surfer, Storm and Black Panther, She-Hulk and Hawkeye

Looking at them one at a time we have,

Luke Cage and Jessica Jones- Not likely as Jessica has given up the heroing and has a new born child, and I can't see Bendis giving up his new toys that easily. Having said that Luke has been an FF member before.
My guess - 10% likely

Human Galactus and Silver Surfer- Pffft. The FF does not take the worst mass murderer in history into their ranks, even if he is above good and evil.
My guess - 0% likely

Storm and Black Panther- Looked like a possible choice until I saw a question about whether they would come to the U.S. to deal with Civil War answered 'no' by Mr Brevoort himself. So now the only hope for them is if the FF move to Wakanda. Not likely.
My guess - 0% likely (now)

Which leaves us with...

She-Hulk and Hawkeye- Looking better and better mostly by ellimination of rivals. It would be great to see She-Hulk back in the FF.
Plus with the cover art for FF 540 showing Ben with his bags packed, there may be room for a powerhouse on the team.
My guess - 90% likely

Good to see She-Hulk back in the FF, and Hawkeye would make a great addition.

    Lukes been a member of the FF? Wow..makes me wonder who hasn't! And human galactus..c'mon people - at least give us realistic options.
    Id prefer hawkeye and she-hulk out of the options anyway.

    Off the top of my head, FF fill-ins include...

    Medusa
    Crystal
    Luke Cage
    Ms Marvel (Sharon Ventura)
    She-Hulk
    Ant Man II(Scott Lang)
    And sort of Kristoff Vernard

    Luke was with the FF back in issue 168. It wasn't for long I don't think. He was definately a blaxploitation character back then too. Scott Lang was kind of a defacto member when Reed was apparently dead from 381 to about 413.

    You know, I hope you are right, but I wouldn't regard it as unthinkable that the new FF would move to Wakanda for a while...

    Moving to Wakanda would be as much out of left field as Galactus joining to me.
