@Spencerz - Well the Millie the Model stuff is apparently cannon (According to the Marvel Handbook) However the early teen romance Patsy Walker stuff has been established as fictional stories created by the "real" Patsy Walker's mother that were based on her daughter, family and friends and are not part of continuity....

Marvel has also done this to explain World War II stories as being "comic books about real events commissioned by the military as propaganda during the war" and Western stories as being "Dime Store Novel" versions of the actual characters. It's Marvel's way of potentially going back and retelling stories in a more grittier and realistic fashion or embellish and whatever.

The difference however is that all the World War II and Western stuff is covered in the handbooks, Patsy Walker's "teenage years" are not... Besides, do you think Patsy Walker's profile needs an expanded history all about her fictional teenage years? YAWN. Trust me, I tried reading Patsy Walker, it was painfully boring.
