For a dead guy he gets around.
Captain Marvel (2019)
- Thread starter Skywalker
- Start date
There's an entire generation of new teenage heroes running around now - and there was another entire new generation of teenage heroes running around 15-20 years ago. Highly doubtful that it's only been five years in marvel time.
How old is Spider-Man?
Captain Marvel died the same year that Peter came back from Battle World with his alien costume, that would grow up to be Venom.
He's graduated College (1978) and almost married (1987), so that puts Peter in his mid 20s in 1982.
General consensus is that Pete is in his early 30s "now" even with Otto spending a year driving Peter around as the Superior Spider-Man, and finishing Peter's Doctorate.
So that's 5 to ten Marvel Years = 36 Real Years?

This is derived from when Rogue messed with her brain so she did have some kind of amnesia and the Brood experimented on her and powered her up. But without the FOX Properties they just combined it with the Kree accident that gave her the initial powers.
Its possible that when the X-Men join the MCU, that they will be retroactively integrated. Carol, and everyone might be getting broader origins, to include Mutants and the Fantastic Four.
Like after Final Crisis, where the past shifted a lot but there was no clear jarring reset to the present and the new comics being put out every week.

It's like "Peanuts". New kids would occasionally be born and grow up, catching up with their older siblings, who are all frozen at the same age.
I'm old enough to remember Spidey joking about Nixon, Dr. Doom teaming up with Henry Kissinger, and Gwen Stacy saucily suggesting the she and Peter go see I Am Curious (Yellow) at the movies. Marvel time has to be rubbery or they would all be on Social Security by now.

Marvel time is very wonky when it comes to kids. (See Richards, Franklin).
Are you caught up with the Fantastic Four? The Richards family just returned from their extended trip around the Multiverse, but while only around a year passed on Earth, 5 years passed for the Richards family. Franklin is now a teenager and Valaria is prepubescent with her teenage hormones just starting to kick in. Honestly, it seems like the kids aged more than 5 years to me, but like you said Marvel time is wonky.
Yeah, I just read the latest issue. Like you, I'm a bit muddle on just how old the kids were when the family went a traveling. Franklin was born near the dawn of the Marvel Age (way back 1968!!!!) Yet he was less than a decade old when they left???????

I can see why it might be seen as a bad idea for Marvel to have their first solo woman title hero get her powers from a man.
Monica is going to get her powers from whatever "they" did to her mum.
Of course does that mean Kree Scientists created a back up, substitute in case anything happened to Carol, that remained dormant all her life but kick started in her daughter.
Or is Carol going to do what Marv did to her, to Maria "Photon" Rambeau, who then passes on that genetic "damage" to her daughter Monica.
Why upgrade a human, when they have all that standng tech to manipulate inhumans with terrigan?
Um?
Is Carol an Inhuman in the MCU?

Fantastic if true, although it's a little surprising to have two trailers released so close to each other.
The helmet may have been designed for a species with a head fin like an Alpha Centauran?
Unless her hair is stronger than steel weight for weight, a vacuum has to be murder on her ends.
