I'd be surprised if comics back then bothered much acknowledging that time has passed. Some of those time gaps could have easily been one day or a month. But given how much chaos has been involved in his live these years/decades, the none-superhero moments probably get forgotten often. 3 days probably mean 3 issues to us, not guessing what it really meant.



I thought he was invited to join right after he saved the team when they were attacked after bringing him back to New York.
