What would Marvel look like today if it was set up as pseudo-real-time (meaning characters would age naturally instead of a sliding timescale) back in the 60s?
Only three or four of the guys in your image would still be around

>>155690690That’s just what it looks like right now
>>155689661They would be old.
>>155689661Didn't they do a comic with that concept?
>>155691490Yeah, marvels and spider-man life story
Peter Parker was born in 1947, he'd be 79 now.
>>155691490They did a bunch>MC2 is a whole alternate universe on the idea>Fantastic Four vol 2’s 1998 annual did this exact thing>Spider-Man: Life Story and Fantastic Four: Life Story started as that, but the latter sort of turned into an alternate universe that didn’t really stick with it>Fantastic Four: Big Town sucks balls in a very special way but it sort of tried if I remember correctlyJust off the top of my head. I’m sure there are more The worst part is that they all focus on the most boring shit. No touching on how the new-immortals start grasping with their lack of aging while everyone around them dies, no old guard training the new, no real consequences for alien life becoming much more familiar with Earth since the 60s, nada.
>>155691490Also DC in:GenerationsDark Knight
>>155692615Earth Two, Kingdom Come, they have a bunch.
>>155690690Elaborate on that.>>155691490I'm talking about the entire Marvel multiverse.
>>155689661By necessity a huge amount of the characters introduced in the 80s and 90s would have been way more prominent and Marvel would need a constant churn of new and young heroes that really only X-Men has come close to providing - and even the X-line would be pretty sparse if we're sticking to real world debut years.

>>155692761I think it would have been interesting to see their world evolve, considering all the geniuses and super-powered people around. If it was all carefully orchestrated by the writers and editors over the decades, we'd have a cool history to delve into.
>>155694891Fantastic Four: Big Town actually tried doing that. It was pretty terrible though.
>>155695008Apparently it was torpedoed by Marvel. They changed the script a ton and Englehart was pissed.
>>155695171…wait.They changed a bunch of the script, enough to piss the writer off, but they still let the page-long justification of Englehart’s cucking fetish see print?
>>155695200Probably.
>>155690690Yep/thread
>>155689661Neat
