    Alternate universe where Heroes debut with their comics original dates and actually age.

    Discussion Crossover Worldbuilding 
    As the above says, a fusion of the Marvel and DC universes where characters make their debuts the years their comics come out and don't have the sliding timescale. So Superman comes onto the scene in the 40s and 30 or so Years later Ironman ect ect. What would this world look like? Discuss.

    Let's say that sometime in the 5th century AD a Mayan astronomer comes up with the concept of systems of linear equations, an algorithm for solving them (Gauss-Jordan elimination) and some additional concepts like linearity (i.e. the idea that T(c1a+c2b) = c1T(a)+c2T(b), where T is a linear...
