Nope. Spider-Man is probably 20-something now. Because Spider-Man wasn't alive in the 60s. When he was created in the 60s he was a teenager in the 60s, but now, he was born much later, meaning that he was a teenager not too long ago. Perhaps in the 00s? That's the sliding time scale.

I'm saying Namor is different, because his early stories from WWII aren't moving forwards through time like Spider-Man's early stories from the 60s. They're staying in WWII, so the gap between the 40s and modern-day events is growing larger and larger, and Namor is getting older and older. We don't worry about Cap so much 'cause he was frozen, but Namor's weird...
