I liked it. Though in MA, Ant-Man's a late addition, and in 616 Carol doesn't join until way late.
And I like those stats on drowning versus freezing (though I'm told that once the panic and pain past, drowning is a very peaceful way to die... though, admittedly, I read that during my short-lived obsession with emo death poetry)
I like TMI-ing, so I'll also mention the Mammalian Diving Reflex: when we get cold enough water to the face and hold our breaths for a long enough time, our heart rates slow, blood plasma fills lungs and sinuses, many of our organs shut down and only the most essential ones keep functioning. Things get all weird, and after a point only the heart, the brain, and a little circuit between them are working at all.
There was a toddler who fell into a pond (http://4rescuepros.com/news.htm) and his heart stopped. After five hours of work, it started again.
"The colder the water, the younger the individual, the greater chance they have of surviving a prolonged submersion incident."

Humans are pretty cool.
