An X-Men question

[Greg Cox]

Has the Golden age Vision been seen recently? I would love to see a team up between the golden age and the current Vision.

He's been appearing in Alex Ross and Jim Krueger's string of projects recently (Avengers/Invaders, The Torch) and will be in their upcoming Invaders mini:

that's supposed to be Vision? He looks like Martian Manhunter in that picture.

It's not the android vision. It's the old Golden Age Vision from the forties.

Wolverine

...and that's right off the top of my head. I know I'm forgetting a metric tons worth. Not that I don't like these characters, and I do, but it begins to strain credibility after a while.

Well, to be fair, one of Wolverine's mutations is increased longevity due to his healing factor, so I don't think his participation in WW2 (or later WWI and other wars) is stretching the credibility of the character. He was born in the 1800s in current continuity, but even before that he as 60 years old and served in WW2 but had the body of a 30 year old. He might end up living to be a few hundred years old.

Characters like Bucky who exist almost out of time like the Simpsons are a bit different. They have all of these adventures over the decades (maybe spend a bit of tiem frozen or asleep) but are never ret-conned to adjust to new time frames.

That Namor picture above just _screams_ John Romita, Sr. to me....and that's high praise, indeed!

At least characters like Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and Doctor Doom have had WW2 largely ret-conned out of their origins.

Never! Accept no substitutes!!

For some reason the little picture of Reed Richards in the left-hand corner of the second panel is really, really, really funny to me.
