27 years ago, The Winter Soldier assassinated Howard and Maria Stark and set into motion the events that would be Captain America: Civil War.
And Tony Stark was apparently either 20 or 21 when it happened. Making him now, in 2018, only 48 years old.
I am now older than Ironman.

That's funny. They can retcon superheroes' ages/backstories so that, when you were once younger than a super, you're now older.

Yep. Used to be the same age as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Now he's my grandspawn's age....

I'm trying to remember when I started reading Spiderman. I think it was the same for me.
For the Marvel comics-verse, I was more a Thor and Spidey kind of girl. I tried to get into Sub Mariner, I really did, but I was never all that interested in the storylines. Now, Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos? Totally on board. I checked the local store for their comics all the time, and no, SGT Rock would NOT do.

I still think that granddad that Fury mentioned to Rogers in the elevator should have been the Sgt Nick Fury in the Howling Commandos who worked with Steve during WWII.

Ah, my Nick Fury! <3 I wonder if the current Fury is the son of the original.

I had forgotten that Pierce (in the movie) was descended from a Howling Commando. Just re-watched Winter Soldier and Civil War last night.

We had our Christmas Eve dinner at the last-born's house. The Goofy Movie was on loop.

We haven't done the Christmas movie in a while here. And, when we did, it was Die Hard and Die Hard II.
Closest thing this year was me and the Captain America trilogy yesterday.

The third-born loves the Goofy Movie so that's why it was playing, to keep him on his equilibrium.
