	I thought Jonah and May were the same age, yes, but apparently, Jonah's been retconned into being a baby-boomer, and his dad is of the WWII generation, which is how 616 May has been characterized for a while (Ben still served in WWII in current 616 continuity, so ...).

	I don't think I ever thought of May and JJJ as being contemporaries, she's always seemed a whole lot older than him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I suspect I'm being biased by those early Lee-and-Ditko issues, in which Everyone Who Is Old Is Equally Old, which was carried down through the years all the way to May and Otto's near-wedding, since I always saw Otto as younger than May, but the text itself didn't really acknowledge any sort of wild disparity between their ages, since They're Both Adults, And Therefore Old.
