What is ANAD? I've been trying to keep up with Secret Wars, but it's the busy season at work and I've not had much time for comic reading.

It has nothing to do with the movie rights because Ben and Johnny are still around and so is Doom.

You see a statue of the FF when Peter shows off the Baxter Building to Johnny in Amazing Spider-Man #3, where she's about that age. Might be 12-13, what do I know about the female body development of supergenius teens in Comic books.

First of, break the tables much?

Secondly, not entirely conclusive. She certainly seems noticeably older than Franklin, which suggests it's deliberate, but on the other hand, we've established that a lot of artists can do babies and people from age 25-40, and nothing outside of that, so....

Franklin has some kind of growth-hormone deficiency or something? Or is Val going to grow up to be seven feet tall? He's the older child still, isn't he?

Considering who his dad is I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this were true due to some experimentation, either by himself, his sister, or his father.

Is Peter a multimillionaire now?

That won't last.

But yeah, artists have drawn Val looking like that when she's meant to be 3 before a fair few times.

Sort of. Pete himself apparently only makes middle-management money, but his company is apparently outperforming Stark and is the go-to for SHIELD gadgets and such, as well as having offices in Tokyo, New York and many other cities, so yes, he's doing well as of ANAD.

Val built her own time machine, she's exactly as old as she wants to be. Notice how she looks before she built it:

Maybe it's a super-smartness thing, like how Amadeus Cho can win fights because he can see the math and get out of the way or whatever. Val is so smart she can change her age at will.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


The difference is that Dr. Strange is supposed to have left 99% of his dickishness behind. Based on the casting I doubt that'll be the case for the movie version, so yeah, it might seem redundant.

I actually really like the explanation of she spends so much time bouncing around the time stream that she's effectively aging faster than she should be, because she spends a day or two in another time stream petting dinosaurs for every day she spends in the regular 616 universe.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I realize that page is probably from a long time ago, but I like to imagine that it's modern day and Strange was just the sort of enormous tool who would light up a cigarette on his way out of the operating room and rely on his ridiculous prestige to carry him over any problems.

That's Doctor Stephen Strange. He didn't go through six years of medical school to be called "mister". (Or to not be called "doctor", I guess.)

That's five figures at "you can still smoke in hospitals year" money. Doctor Strange is basically Don Draper.
