(Wha...Huh?/8) - In 2005, a now senior Spider-Man still swung through the city, prompting angry people to scream that he smelled, while an elderly Daredevil still felt threatened by a bedridden Bullseye.

With some heroes still barely active, the Fantastic Four still travelled through the city in their Fantasticar with a 1991 license plate, while onlookers yelled to them about driving too low.

Clarifications:
Earth-The Marvel Heroes Aged in Real Time had no known connection to:
BULLSEYE
Bullseye first appeared, battling Daredevil, in 1976 and aged accordingly, eventually becoming a bedridden elderly man. While bedridden, Daredevil still felt threatened by him.
--Wha...Huh?/8
CAPTAIN AMERICA
Since Captain America first appeared on the scene in 1941, he aged accordingly, and by the time 2005 rolled in, he was long dead, but still present in the Avengers as a fly-attracting, skeletal corpse wearing red, white, and blue.
--Wha...Huh?/8
DAREDEVIL
Daredevil appeared in 1964 and aged accordingly, remaining ever-threatened by Bullseye since 1976. While Bullseye was bedridden, Daredevil still yelled at his arch-enemy in the hospital.
--Wha...Huh?/8
IRON MAN
As Iron Man appeared in 1963 and aged, he remained with the Avengers, despite obvious hearing loss and the constant usage of two canes just to remain standing.
--Wha...Huh?/8
SPIDER-MAN
Since Spider-Man appeared in 1963, he aged throughout the years, but still patrolled the city in an adult diaper and glasses in 2005.
--Wha...Huh?/8
THOR
Thor first appeared to the public in 1962 and helped formed the Avengers in 1963. He helped keep the Avengers together throughout the years and was easily yelling "Avengers Assemble!" in 2005, as Asgardians had superhuman longevity.
--Wha...Huh?/8
