Well, one could argue that the "fantastic" in "Fantastic Four" is like "spider" in "Spider Man" or "X" in "X-men"; rather, than, say, "amazing" in "Amazing Spider Man" or "uncanny" in "Uncanny X-men." That is, it's part of their proper name, and therefore not dropped in favor of "Ultimate." (I really can't comment on the Ultimates/Avengers thing, since I have no clue who they are.)
