Willie Lumpkin in MARVELS #1

Post by wolframbane »

In MARVELS 1, Phil Sheldon encountered his girlfriend Doris in a movie theater on a date with a postman, Bill Lumpkin, during WWII. Intially this was going to comment that this was perhaps an overlooked appearance of Willie Lumpkin. But in the new OHOTMU HC 6, it mentions that his grandfather, Bill "Gramps" Lumpkin, was a postman during WWII. Perhaps this was refering to this character. I would suggest an ntry for Bill Lumpkin:

LUMPKIN, BILL "GRAMPS"
MARVELS 1

This is similar to how "Old Man" Jameson, who looked like J. Jonah, was shown in MARVELS 1 during WWII. Other similar retconned characters may include Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and Thunderbolt Ross, all initially active during WWII but now considered too young for it.
