MARVEL'S 'GENERATIONS' REVEALED
Pairs Legacy and Current Versions of Characters in Stories that 'Really Count'

This summer, Marvel will bring together classic superheroes with their present-day counterparts, reports ABC News.
In February, Marvel teased a new initiative called Generations via Twitter. The tweet featured Alex Ross artwork pairing legacy characters with their modern-day iterations. Generations launches in July and runs through September.
Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso revealed the team-ups and writers behind Generations:
Iron Man: Tony Stark and Riri Williams – Brian Michael Bendis
Spider-Man: Peter Parker and Miles Morales – Brian Michael Bendis
Ms. Marvel: Carol Danvers and Kamala Khan – G. Willow Wilson
Thor: Odinson and Jane Foster – Jason Aaron
Hawkeye: Clint Barton and Kate Bishop – Kelly Thompson
Hulk: Bruce Banner and Amadeus Cho – Greg Pak
Jean Grey: young and older – Dennis Hopeless
Wolverine: Logan and X23 – Tom Taylor
Captain Marvel: Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers – Margie Stohl
Captain America: Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson – Nick Spencer
The artists were not announced.
According to Alonso, Generations isn’t an alternate universe, separate timeline, or what-if event. "These stories do happen, they really count,” said Alonso. “They really matter. This isn't some alternate reality story or some time-travel story."
Generations comes after the launch of Secret Empire, which sees the Marvel universe aligned against Hydra agent Steve Rogers.
How Marvel intends to handle the Rogers / Wilson pairing -- or, for that matter, the pairings involving Logan and Bruce Banner, who are both presently deceased -- remains to be seen. "There's potential for friction, there's potential for team-ups. Minimally, it's something that's going to require food for thought and introspection on the part of every character. That's part of the goal when we were sculpting it," Alonso said.
