well, i don't think marvel is really even going to try to dump the wwII business.... if any of you remember the sphinx saga from around issue 216 of the ff??? when the sphinx make reed, sue and ben around 90 of or a 100 years old???/ and then johnny finds the mysterious youth ray, and changes them all back to say, 30 years old??? the make the comment specifically that they are all a lot younger than when they started, hence eliminating the need to forget wwII.... other characters can't get away from it either..... xavier, capt. america, wolverine, nick fury and others..... one explanation that i have heard from marvel people is that in marvel time, it really is about 1970... and that their years are longer than ours... i think it's called suspension of disbelief, guys....
