All the comic book superheroes are actually the modern equivalents of Hercules, Zeus, and many of the other mythical figures. They easily fulfil the very same need as their counterparts and also portray mankind as one of the greatest creations in existence, and are also capable of reducing a mountain to a rubble with just one blow.
This is exactly why it is very difficult to imagine Superheroes growing old. Who would actually want to follow the adventures of Captain America who has arthritis? Who will actually look forward to reading a comic book issue that features Thor wearing adult diapers?
Many issues of comic books have actually revealed a few glimpses of a lot of possible futures where the superheroes have become elderly statesmen of tomorrow, and these stories have been pretty few, and the stories have come back to throw light on the younger versions of the superheroes.
However, there are many of the Marvel fans out there who are super talented, and they have imagined how the superheroes will look like when they grow old:
24. Old Coot Iron Man
23. Still Patriotic Captain America
22. Grumpy Old Hulk
21. Wheezy Old Iron Man
20. Thor Is Summoning His Nurse
19. Granny Widow Can Still Kick Your Behind
18. The Spectacular Spider-Pappy
17. Iron Man Enjoying His Golden Years
16. Galactus Is Hungry… For Some Rest
15. Spidey On His Last Legs
