For example, Captain America fought in World War II but spent decades frozen in ice to explain his youth.

Some characters are tied to specific periods. While the current Marvel Universe began in 1961, writers have long had to “flex” the timeline as the decades have passed. Marvel fans have long become used to what’s been nicknamed “Marvel time” in terms of the comics. But a question remains in how much of a “man” Miles may be in terms of his age. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now in theaters and a wild adventure for Miles Morales. Gwen Stacy’s age is not stated, however, she is 15 months older than him, so she is either 16 or 17 in the sequel.

Updated with a correction: J– Miles Morales is 15 years old in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
