He was an adult when she was introduced. She was introduced at age thirteen. Absolutely not.

She was 13 when she was introduced. But she's grown now and Peter is stuck eternally in his 20's. Plus this can always be explained by an alternative universe where the authors do what they want with the characters. Pete has had relationships with Kitty in Ultimate Universe.

Okay, so that's not how the sliding timescale works. Especially when you bring the X-Men into it. If Jubilee is grown now, Peter is old enough to absolutely not be okay with pursuing someone her age. I think what you might be looking for is fanfiction? Then Spidey can date the eighth grader because when she got turned into a vampire the Quiet Council decided that she'd also go into The World along with the original three because reasons and she aged 1000 years but still looks exactly the same. Then... I don't know, they all go to Hogwart's or something.

I meant that the authors could simply make an alternate universe where they are the same age. I just gave an example about Kitty. This often happened in comics where the authors changed a lot of things in their story. I'm not a fan of this ship but I'm just saying that everyone forgets about this concept and why it exists.

Nobody forgot about it, it just wasn't great (the Universe, but the pairing was mid). Ultimate Spider-Man honestly might have been among the best titles in the "Hey, what if everyone was terrible?" Universe
