[Marvel]What events are kids in the Marvel Universe taught about in History class?

Spider-man is a teenager, so assuming he is about 17, he was born in 1997. A lot has happened before then, so which events would he have learned about in school? Would they cover the time the planet was almost eaten by Galactus? What about the time Atlantis invaded, or the time New York was plagued by an inferno of demons?

What else is likely to make it onto the school curriculum?

The history of Superheros is a huge and growing topic of academic and historical study. Here at NYU we have the pre-eminent scholars of all time periods. 

Of course, at School at pupils will learn the basics starting with the historical heroes whose reality is either known through word and song or through timetravel and them actually just coming into the modern world and telling us about what they did. Thus children will learn about early Norse worship, including Thor and other Gods of that Pantheon, then early heros like Merlin and King Arthur and the roles they played in keeping us safe. 

Moving forward in time no study of World War 1 can avoid mentioning The Freedom Brigade and by World War 2 the existence of Superheroes was widely known. Namor, the Human Torch, Captain America and others were all major players in the war individually and as the Invaders and after that there were no way to hide these heroes. 

Still, the 50s saw the government try to control these heroes and kids will learn about those failed policies alongside the cold war. Aliens also become known of in this period but it's not really a big deal so most history books just give it a mention and move on. 

The public acknowledgement of mutants was an issue in the 60s as the "threat" grew and mutants like Magneto became more active but these issues are often overlooked and thought of as a 'new' problem. Equal mutant rights has been going on for longer than you may think though. 

Modern heroic studies will go into the rise of modern heroes including the fantastic 4, spider-man (menace or hero?), Avengers and many many others. Commonly they choose several themes like the forming of the Avengers, rise, fall and rise again of the mutant population, superhero civil war or many others that they can choose from. 

Here at NYU we go beyond learning and we interact with and study the meaning and motivations behind superheros. You can get an undergraduate or masters degree in a dozen individuals, including Thor and Captain America or take one of more than 50 superhero classes as part of your degree. We even have six visiting heroes including Doctor Strange who lecture on a regular basis. 

Whatever your interest or level of knowledge from high school, here at NYU we have the course for you!
