He did create Blade (along with Gene Colan).

Right.  The debate isn't whether or not Wolfman co-created "Blade", but what constitutes "work-for-hire" and how someone should be paid when using said creation in a multi-media world.

This is a long thread, so please forgive me if someone's said this and I missed it.

I think some superheroes should be teenagers and even kids (loved Power Pack) because it's fun and it introduces elements and angles you can't have with only adults; and I think the characters who are teenagers should stay that way. Right now I'm creating a superhero team with one member who's a girl in her late teens and one who's a ten-year-old boy (just thinking about guardianship and so on generates new ideas). BUT... perhaps the shift toward premature ageing of these characters has a bit to do not with how real teenagers are, but with how they want to be. Perhaps these days the majority of fourteen-year-olds don't identify with fourteen-year-olds, but with young adults.

IMP.

CATWOMAN SPOILERS:

It seems as if Selina now has a child out of wedlock (one year later). And it's hinted at that Batman might be the father. While I doubt the latter would take place, things have changed in comics enough that I'm not entirely convinced.

Twenty-five years ago, I doubt you could write a story in which Selina Kyle (even when outright villainous) had a child out of wedlock. Strange days indeed.

Stephen,

Avengers 200, the "Ms. Marvel raped and pregnated by/with Immortus" story was twenty five years ago.

As for Selina, we will probably have to wait until around issue 13 of 52 to learn the circumstances of the pregnacy (for all we know, we married and lost a husband in the missing year).
