I propose this:

(1) Profiles for every character that appears in the series in an Earth-61610 profile. The merged reality still exists, and per my lengthy explanation on the nature of merged or overlaid realities there is basis supporting this. These profiles should explain those character appearances in detail.

(2) All the Earth-616 and Earth-1610 characters have a brief mention of the events in Secret Wars covered in Ultimate End. It should state that it cannot be confirmed or verified that these are the 616/1610 versions of those characters and refer readers to the 61610 profiles for those characters.

(3) All "death" appearances of the Ultimate Universe characters that cite Ultimate End #5 should be listed as speculative. There is no proof that they died or that Earth-1610 has or hasn't been restored with the rest of the multiverse. If a character died BEFORE Ultimate End, that appearance of death should be noted. Particularly Captain America-1610, because he died during Cataclysm and if this is the 1610 character, there is no explanation for his resurrection. "Because Secret Wars" is not specific enough criteria in my book. Until an explanation is made, then it should remain ambiguous instead of being considered a concrete fact.

Marvel is still being quite ambiguous about other characters having been active on Battleworld (Just check any profile of any individual character in the All-New All-Different handbook) Most Secret Wars info is put in side notes.

I should point out that the Iron Man profile in this handbook does not reference anything in Ultimate End. Which further supports my position.
