First off, yes, this would normally be impossible due to the Star-Spangled Avenger ascending decades before Peter Parker was born, but this particular tale involves time travel, thus throwing chronological limitations out the window.
Marvel 1602 is an 8-issue limited series where an unknown event caused superheroes to begin appearing centuries earlier than they should have, instigating a potential collapse of reality. The plot involves intrigue at the courts of the English queen Elizabeth I and the Scottish king James VI, with several characters standing in for historical figures, such as Doctor Strange replacing magician John Dee, Nick Fury...
