Skye Reynolds 07/27/18 3:48:06 PM #5:	They've always kept things vague. Like, in the Lizard's first appearance, they said that Curt Connors had lost his arm in "the war." Since wars are always taking place, it could be anything from Vietnam to the War in Afghanistan. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:905820892] in How does M...

Foppe 07/27/18 3:48:27 PM #6:	Peter Parker has not been around since the 60s in the MCU. It is that simple. He is around 30 in the comics these days. ...unless we count the timetravel back to young Peter Parker comics... --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

Zikten 07/27/18 3:50:36 PM #8:	I was born in the same year actually and yea, we are now older than spiderman. and about the age that Batman is. a few more years and we will be older than batman but anyway, Marvel uses a "sliding timescale" . unlike DC, Marvel has never really done a full universe reboot, unless you count the Ultimate universe, which was an early 2000's attempt to redo Marvel in a modern style with more youthful versions of the characters in main universe though, they just have time go by slowly and are always updating when things happened. so like no matter how long it's been since the comics began in the 60's marvel always just says that in universe, it's only been like 10 years since the Avengers were founded. it's like simpsons. even though technology is clearly changing (they even show smart phones now in the opening credits) the characters never age. it's like that with Marvel. this does cause problems though. Punisher was originally heavily attached to the Vietnam war so that had to be hand waved away at some point to make him younger. And the big origin story about Magneto has him as a WW2 Holocaust survivor. And yet he still is running around even though anyone who was even a kid back then, is now VERY VERY old. too old to be still be able to walk on their own, let alone fight in super powered battles. <cite>Zikten posted [p:905821034] in How does M...
