Psychic Kids Club: Nate Grey and Franklin Richards

[auggie18]

Back in the 90s, Nate Grey was doing his new character tour of Marvel Universe and he hit the Fantastic Four stage. He ended up having bro-time with Johnny Storm and hanging out with the cosmic kid himself, Franklin Richards.





I don't think that they met again before Nate died. But he's back now, so he might as well hang out with his future brother-in-law.

Speaking as someone who started reading comics when Franklin was a BABY, that kind of amuses me.

As for it only being Franklin? Kitty Pryde is hanging on line 1. She's gone up and done constantly over the last 20 or so years. And unlike Franklin, it didn't have anything to do with cosmic powers or aliens...just editorial fiat. She's not the only one, of course. It happens to any character who isn't an adult in the MU. They'll experience sudden age jumps as a new writer comes on board and then often a reversal with another writer or editor choice.

Comics, everybody!

Doug Ramsey appeared to be resurrected at the same age as his old New Mutant team-mates (early 20's or si(, so had apparently aged whilst dead (though magic being part of his resurrectiion could explain that).

Meanwhile PAD has recently confirmed that for the purposes of X-Factor, he's writing Doug as a seventeen year old.

Which would work if Doug'd body had aged and his mind hadn't (what with being dead), but it's all rather vague.

The being resurrected older than you were when you died thing is pretty weird. You'd think the reset would pretty much have to be to age at death or earlier.

Again, magic explains a lot, especially when coupled with the technorganic virus that was also essential the Necrosha resurrections.

If the spell decreed "I restore you to life as if you had never been gone" then it might take that literally and age them to match where they should be if they hadn't ever died.

Then again, the resurrected Hellions didn't appear to be any older than they had been, so it could be Doug actually wanted to be the same age as his friends and asked the TO virus to age him a bit when it reconstructed his body from the corpse that he had been.

If in doubt, "A wizard did it", is usually as good an asnwer as you'll get... if it's good enough for Xena.
