It was a mild note, just as deserved. Hardly worth a warning.

Did you tell him to get off your lawn? 😃

She’s only 2 years older than me.

I’m a grandfather - and have been for a number of years (if you start early, this works out) - so - SHES NOT OLD.

I know Uncle Ben makes rice, but does he make grits as well. Wonder how he likes them … regular, creamy, al dente?

They weren’t. Lee was just tired of coming up with origin stories, so thought it would be easy to just come up with a team that had their powers because they were born with them. That’s it. Cite, some interview with Stan Lee from years ago.

At that, how brilliant is the Danger Room?

“I have a story idea, but it starts off slow and builds to an exciting finale.”  
“Can you think up a way to start the issue with an action-packed fight scene?”  
“What, create and then resolve some unrelated adventure in like three pages?”  
“Hey, this might come up a lot; how about an unrelated-action-scene generator?”

No self-respectin’ superhero uses instant grits. The Avengers take pride in their grits!

I’m honestly surprised that Star Trek didn’t make use of the Holodeck for that sort of thing more often.

My vote for Aunt May has always been [Cliff Claven’s mother](https://www.google.com/search?q=frances+sternhagen&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=799&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjb2IaI1-rLAhWI2SYKHVPMBqMQ_AUIBigB).

I’d support that - I also think it would be hilarious to cast Betty White, especially if he Vulture shows up to attack.

(I just think the scene could be written hilariously with her)
