Nazi Hunter Magneto and Hobo Namor...... SOLD!

I like to imagine a scene playing out like this with Prof X and Wolverine in reverse roles

Xavier never forgets:

So, this will be set around 20 years before (Uncanny) X-Men #1, then?

I mean, I'm not sure if they've ever firmly established how old Xavier was supposed to be in that issue, but I always thought he was at least in his 40s, maybe late-30s - so if he's supposed to be, like, 18 in this, that puts it at least 20 years prior.

Well before it was retconned it was said he fought in the Korean War (or maybe it hasn't my X-Men continuity skills suck) but he would have been in his twenties perhaps. So saying he's in his 30's is a good assumption.

[TIP]

I'd be on-board if this were only aboot Hobo-Mariner.

Victor Creed was part of the first X-men team and the first Avengers team?

Can't wait to find out Sabretooth stowed away on the Fantastic Four's spaceship and was bombarded by cosmic rays.

Yes, it was the Korean war. He fought there alongside the Juggernaut.

And any retcons involving Xavier are a bad idea because he's supposed to be Magneto's contemporary. To make Charles Xavier decades younger than Erik Lehnsherr seems wrong. Just make an excuse for why they're both de-aged but maintain their history.

Given Neal Adams' work on the Batman Odyssey books, I'm going to stay miles away from this book unless I hear absolutely astounding reviews.
