years" (TG
v2
#8, 8.06) before
Ben
Grimm hosts his major poker game, and
"approximately 13 years" (MAtlas #1, 2007) before
the Marvel Atlas, both in YR 14. "Several
months" (OHMU:DE #1, 12.85) before the

and a high school "sophomore"
(ASM #240, 5.83). References to him as "sixteen"

Av #4 (3.64). Cap was
