On Mun apparently wanting to Muse an 'Aged in Real Time' Peter Parker.

[irredeemed_ant]

I'm getting the impression you get the craziest ideas for Muses when you're away. Spidey if he started off in the 60's? What do you mean, 'if he aged in real time'? The guy's been doing the wall crawling thing for about a decade now, not over five.

...What the heck's 'Comic Time'? It's weird where you are, dude, believe me. And I doubt anyone's gonna know who a good pick for... I dunno, whatever PB stands for. You should be hanging out with me, man! I mean I have a girlfriend now and everything. And she's hot and interesting and fun to be around! You should be getting me off to interesting and cool places with her and maybe even some of the guys and gals I know.

Trust me, I'm the only bug dude you need.

Woah, dude. That'd put him at 68. And with his job security, you're probably looking at a weak retirement plan. If any.

Something fancy like that, I think my Mun factored that the guy once said beinng Spidey since he was 15 so that would be the right range. I guess he figures he might have gotten a actual job outside snapping pictures and making google eyes at Betty Brant.

Hmmm, memo to self, check if Avengers have retirement plan.

[sciencewhizard]

Yeah, I think this is why people in my universe keep up the day jobs besides the heroing. No safety nets with that biz.

Exactly, I mean I got paid pretty decent wages in SHIELD. Even the Thunderbolts, though that was working for the crazy loon at the time so not so fun.

I don't know, son. It worked out for me.

[Because he's Superman from a 'what if there was no comic book time sliding time line junk'.]

Oh yay! I wish SM/BM Gens were easier to pick up because I wanna read those.

[Woah, the A-Lister himself. Eric smiles and tries not to feel totally in awe like he does round Rogers and Stark on occasion.]

I guess, in fact I think your thing was an inspiration. He kinda wants to maybe even write a fanfic about it, whatever nerdy thing that is. Still, you started in the 30's right, so does that mean you're still heroing over 100 years old?

It's some pretty fantastic reading! I got the first volume from my library, oddly enough.

[He's well used to that and is simply relaxed as can be. Just a simple man who looks in his fifties-sixties who can balance the Empire State Building on his pinky and is, indeed, over a hundred years old.]

That's a fine hobby. Creative writing is a good way to exercise the mind... All bias aside. [Seeing as they're the products of creative writing. Anyway-]

I started as Superman in the 30's yes, but I was Superboy for a decade before that. It's one wild ride. I'm not sure I know how to stop, in all honesty.

Gah, lucky! I want them to do an omnibus of them. And the Marvel/DC stories.

[Eric's only been heroing it for a year and a half, getting on two years, though with 'real time' it's a fair bit longer. And he figures Kal is doing amazing well for someone his age, even if he does has the alien with the long lifespan cheat.]

I guess, I wouldn't really have the time, but my Mun seems to love it so he'd be happy to hear that. [He's rather the inspired type, between wanting and trying to write Injustice if it had the Avengers and Arkham Origins if it featured Spider-Man and a Doc Ock meets Mr Freeze fic and Long Halloween if it was a Doctor Who tale with all the Doctors... phew.]

That's... a heck of a long legacy, sir. You must have seen a lot of... well, everything. I doubt I've got the skills to make it up to your set.
