I just said that those two were of compatible gender and orientation.

They're a straight man and a straight woman, far as we know. Ergo, they're compatible with each other.

So would two gay men, a straight woman and a bisexual man, and so on.

Assuming if the Date listed at the very top right corner of the paper is her birth date, Peggy was born on April 9, 1919; which would make her 93 in 2012 and would have made her 26 in 1945.

And if you want to read a lot more into the document as something MS gave a lot of thought to (not likely, but hey), you could even say that it gives you an idea of when the SSR officially became SHIELD.

The last entry shows Peggy as still active in the "SSR" through 1985. That would put her at 65-66 years old, the obvious time for her to take her retirement. So adding to that, we know that the SSR hadn't converted to the SHIELD monicker until at least the mid-80s. Which seems to be when the original dossier was compiled.

Convenient on how they just show enough not to reference on that sheet if she ever got married or had children of her own.

The odd thing is how they never updated the picture on her file.

lol @mynameschris - nice one!

I have to say those document/props aren't a reliable source of info AT ALL!!!

There is one for Tony Stark. It gives his date of birth as late April 1970. And his parents death as 17 Dec 1991.

So (you may ask)?

Well he inherited Stark Industries when he came of age when he was 21 (according to IM1). If he was born in 1970 he would have been 21 years of age when his pappy died and there would have been never any need for Stane to run the company.

Canon can only be applied to thearical release material. You can use other sources for building up the MCU BUT these are very much secondary (or even tertiary) and include things like novelisations, comicbook tie ins, etc. However, if they contradict the theatrical release then the film takes precedence.

The really big problem is when the theatrical releases actually contradict each other...which has happened, annoyingly, a few times!

That little contradiction can be explained: Howard may have had some provision in his will that stated Tony could only own the company in trust until he was 25 or 30, so while Tony owned the company he couldn't be actively involved in controlling/managing it.

Actually the first movie says that Tony took over at 21.
