They'll just say he found out a way to be immortal and sexy with magnets... somehow. His magnet powers can do anything. And so can he.

there was an episode in X-Men Evolution where he used a machine to help heal himself similar to the one that made Steve Rogers Captain America but no idea how they'll do it this time

I don't get it, if they want to endlessly "exploit" the characters, then why make time frames at all? Literally, just let them not indicate the years when certain events take place so as not to confuse people and not to fool themselves with time transfers.
Yes, it will be strange and incomprehensible, but it is better to let it be like this than some stupid movements of time lines back and forth, twisting everything so stupidly.
I don't know, maybe it looks normal for people who read comics, but for me, a person far from this, it looks more like some kind of circus with clowns and not authors who make good and thoughtful content

Firstly, it's not exploitation if Marvel created the characters.
Secondly, you really don't get the point. Marvel tries not to tie years to their comics as it already dates them (and believe me, you read some comics from the early to mid 90s and they're dated enough as it is).
Thirdly, the whole point of a floating timeline is that you don't need to say what year it is. It's always the present day. Hence why it's called a floating or sliding timeline. But there are problems with maintaining that.
Marvel's sliding timeline works on the idea that approximately 15 years have passed since the Fantastic Four got their powers (real world year of 1961). So we're looking at 4 years real time for every 1 year in the Marvel universe. That's fine for characters like the Fantastic Four, or Spider-man or others.
Where it starts getting messy is when characters were explicitly tied to a real world event because they were meant to embody a philosophy or belief. Examples include:
- Iron Man creating his armour in Vietnam, as an anti-Communist and pro-war character. It's why a lot of Iron Man's earliest enemies were Soviet agents and imitators.
- Amongst the X-men, Professor X had fought in the Korean War.
- Flash Thompson and James Rhodes (Anti-Venom and War Machine respectively) are Vietnam War veterans.
By their very nature, those wars and origins get very dated, very quickly, necessitating shifting the origin to a more recent conflict. For example, Tony Stark can't make his armour in Afghanistan and be an anti-Communist character if the Soviet Union has been dead for 35 years, can he?
It's easier to create a fictional area that has been host to a number of conflicts in recent decades than to keep track of who needs to their origin updated every 5 years. And it's a whole lot easier to use it to maintain the sliding timeline.
Hey everyone. I got some bad news for those interested in dev team's personal lives.
My dog of 12 years has liver and kidney failure and I'm gonna be putting her down.
I'm gonna take a break from online responsibilities while I handle the grief as I have already lashed out at some people. (No one related to this community)

Shiny, you're the heart of this community. Your furry friend must have had all the love in the world.
The community will be here waiting (with all our problems and drama) when you get back.
Take care.

There's been more than a couple times in shows and such where he's seen making use of some dubious anti-aging tech, magic, or some combination of the two. So I think he's set up for the long run in that regard.

That sucks I'm so sorry. I'll pour one out for your fuzzy friend from over here.
My condolences. I've been there (cat in my case). I'm sure the rest of us will try to help out where we can if there are questions or issues.

Man, that sucks. Take all the time you need, brother, losing a pet is not easy. I can speak from experience.
bro, I understand that feeling. I had to do the same a few years ago with my cat who had stomach complications. you take some time off to mourn the loss of such an amazing friend and we'll be here when you decide to come back

Fuck man. Stay strong brother. She's in a better place. This is why I'm afraid of owning a pet. I get attached too easily and refuse to let go..

Hey man, take all the time in the world. My cat 17 died recently from kidney failure too. Still processing it. We fought 3 months, tried almost everything but alas. Kidney failure hits like a damn freight train - It's sudden and almost irreversible and happens way too fast. It is really damn hard to let go, and especially be forced to let go. Best of luck to you and your family.

You have my condolences, Shiny. Please take all the time you need.
My dog passed on just a year and a half ago. It's a strange gap they leave behind.
I feel your pain. It's why I decided a while ago to not get any more pets, it becomes a repeating event since even if their health isn't an issue their shorter life spans are. Take all the time you need, we'll try not to make too much of mess of the board while your away.
