Editing Marvel Realtime:Main Page (section)

=Concept=

Marvel Comics has a long history in our world, stretching back to Timely Comics and WWII.  In the Marvel Universe, though, time exists in a sort of smear.  No matter what the present day is, the Fantastic Four always took their fateful flight ten years ago.  The more time passes and the more stories are told in Marvel Comics, the more events have to be pressed into that single decade which stretches from 1961 until whatever today happens to be.

But not in the universe here, which I'm calling either "Marvel Realtime" or "Marvel-2" (after Earth-2 in DC Comics where, pre-Crisis, characters grew old and had kids who grew up).  In the Marvel-2 Universe, the Fantastic Four went into space in 1961--almost 45 years ago.
