I think I still have the book. But I remember reading a old Sgt. Fury & the Howling Commandos that the group met up somewhere in France with Reed Richards who was in the OSS.

Just dont remember if it was one of those storylines that had them teaming up with Cap & Bucky. But Reed was in WWII and that would put Ben there to.

Ben was in World War 2. The was a short lived Marvel comic called Captain Savage and his Battlefield Raiders that had an issue with Ben flying around in WW2.

People in comics are the exact age they need to be. Look at the Power Pack. They aged into teenagers (advancing several years) when no one else did.

I would love to see appropriate aging in comics.

Never gonna happen though. Look what happened to Spidey when he started getting more mature.

Quick, make a deal with the devil to annul your marriage!

I always thought it was interesting to think about Captain America, frozen for a whole 15-20 years (GASP!) Whereas now, he would have been frozen for (adjusting for the constant sliding timeline, so the modern Marvel U didn't start until "10 years ago") somewhere between 50-55 years. The original gap of time doesn't seem like such a culture shock in comparison.

I'm pretty damn sure that Tony Stark was originally wounded in Vietnam, not WWII. Even Wikipedia agrees.

Writers have updated the war and locale in which Stark is injured. In the original 1963 story, it was the Vietnam War.

Definitely Vietnam. I re-read those early IM books (when it was still half of Tales of Suspense) last summer.

I'm running a Villians & Vigilantes RPG campaign for my teenaged sons. The last time we played they discovered and revived a WWII Golden Age hero who's been kept in cryo-freeze by his foes (and their descendants) since 1945.

"Where -- where am I?"

"Well, it's 2010," the one kid tells him, "and you've been frozen for, like, sixty years, and the world is completely different and everybody you ever knew is probably dead by now."*

If you ever get cryogenically frozen, you'd best hope that it's not a teenager who revives you.

* At least LL told the guy the truth when he asked "Did we win?"

Ha! Love it!

The guys in my group were asking for something akin to the first season of Heroes with ordinary people getting superpowers and not being sure how they work. My plan is to use the existing characters and personalities of the MU to make easy-to-bring-in NPCs and the occasional sudden revelation of the "Oh my god! You mean my Grampa Pete was Peter Parker!" kind. The problem is not letting them spot it straight away, so while they will be using Starkphones I may not be mentioning that straight away.

Or I might just go and run a D&D campaign instead. Not decided yet.
