Marvel Trivia question I think might actually be hard.

With you guys it's not an "if" it's a how long? ( I look at the post times)

A very special Wacky Package Marvel sticker to the first one who can tell me:

What common medical ailment did Steve Rogers have as a kid and what comic is it mentioned in.

( hint: I'm not thinking Polio)

[The Toyroom]

Anemic? And was it Captain America #255?

[Brazoo]

Syphilis?

[samurainoir]

Asthma.

[samurainoir]

Anemic? And was it Captain America #255?

It was Baron Blood that was anemic wasn't he? In the issues just prior to #255.

I would have guessed the Byrne/Stern re-origin as well if I didn't have an odd fondness for PSA comics.

[samurainoir]

Spider-man was also molested.

[samurainoir]

Syphilis?

Leprosy! Fallen Arches! Gingavitis! Haltosis!

[jwyblejr]

Syphilis?

And you thought Sharon Carter was such a nice girl.

[thunderbolt]

The Gout.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Spider-man was also molested.

Wow. Really? Is that considered canon? That's a pretty bold move on Marvel's part back then. Nowadays they'd have Uncle Ben do it.

He was probably joking, but I seem to recall Millar suggesting that the kid who molested Peter might show up in the Marvel Knights run as a super villain. At the time I think they were doing everything they could to throw out red herrings online about who the mastermind behind that extended plot was.
