Rogue's ass and Kitty's ass are both welcome in the house of horny.

Besides, I need the variety. Rogue's ass is tech death, and Kitty's ass is pop-punk.

Edit: ShinyBoots1993: I'm rebranding the off topic thread as a book club since that's what it has become over the past few months. So... do with that what you will when people start derailing, I guess.

The sliding timeline Marvel's way of dealing with the fact they've kept (more or less) the same continuity since 1961 without having to actually deal with the passage of real time.

Obviously, Marvel doesn't progress at the same rate as real life, otherwise almost every character would be 60+ years older by now. It's also pretty hard to follow real-time, or something which at least approximates it, when each issue in a series only comes out once a month.

The big problem nowadays in our glorious 21st century is that a lot of Marvel (particularly origin stories and backstories) was often based in real life events and trends from 'the world outside your window': e.g., mutants were originally the result of atom bomb tests, Professor X was a veteran of the Korean War, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm both fought in WWII, Tony Stark was injured in Vietnam, and so on. This was more or less still workable through the 1970s, but from the 80s onwards it became impossible to reconcile these backstories with the ages of the characters as they were then currently appearing.

So ever since, Marvel's solution to this is to pretend that, starting with Fantastic Four #1, everything in the Marvel universe has happened within a timeframe of around about 13 years prior to the present day. The Fantastic Four's rocket flight is no longer a part of the Space Race, but instead will always have happened a dozen years before now. Whenever they show flashbacks to origin stories or 'the past' visuals are updated accordingly, e.g., modern depictions of Spider-Man's origin will have the kids in his school walking round with mobile phones. The timeline "slides" along with the currently published comics. This lets Marvel keep the essentials of the stories intact and avoids having to deal with aging their characters. That last point is arguably a problem in itself, since it's partly why comics have been so stagnant for so long, but that's a different can of worms.

So, Vietnam has now been replaced by a vaguely timeless Indochina war, Soviet villains simply become Russian, and any outdated pop culture references to someone like Walter Cronkite or Edward G. Robinson are brushed aside. Of course for characters like Magneto and Captain America, whose backstories are indelibly tied to WWII, this becomes a little trickier. Though funnily enough Captain America is perhaps the only character who really benefits from the sliding timeline -- the further away he is from WWII, the more out of time he becomes. Back when they first resurrected him, the war had ended only 20 years previously. It actually works out even better (unless you're Cap).

TL;DR (because I write too much): remember how The Simpsons started out in the early 1990s with flashback episodes about how Homer and Marge first met in high school in 1974, and now they have flashback episodes about how Homer was actually a teenager in the 90s? This is that.

I don't read comics (and never have) and I don't know how they usually do it right, but since there is such a problem with timelines, wouldn't it be easier to just LITERALLY divide the actions into different time periods?
Well, let's say, give a note to the comic in which the year of the action is simply written, so that it would be clear at what time these actions take place? Or for some period, let's say name such a period (War "blah blah") that lasts a couple of years, or make some period with a name (Dawn of the Forces "such and such") If it is difficult for writers to figure out in what exact year the actions should take place. Sounds like a simple and logical action, in my opinion, because in this case nothing will get confused.

"It would still be the least dysfunctional relationship we have around here"
I mean... he's not wrong. It wouldn't even be that far out there given that everyone just accepts what Wanda and Quick get up to.

I'm new to null hypothesis how are they "stringent" with the character roster?

The team is mainly working with girls of a certain era of the comics. Which era? I forgot, mainly because I'm pretty satisfied with Kitty showing up within the coming months, but I'm sure that either a dev or a comic nerd will give you the details.

Per the discord, the game starts right before the Dark Phoenix arc (specifically "Giant-Sized Xmen #1") and will go on up to the Onslaught Saga. So most any characters in between those timelines are fair game.

With a few exceptions. Laura being grandfathered into the game, for example.

That's only a loaded question if it's a White or Asian girl, otherwise the answer is always "yes, and I love it".

Actually, I think the answer should be that for any girl that isn't fat. And if she hears a yes and frowns, she has to be warned not to take off that outfit, since making her butt look smaller is punishable by sleeping in the kitchen.
