It would do best to properly reboot like Ultimate. Treat the property like Robin Hood and just retell it every so often, updated for contemporary audiences.

Struggling with the self-imposed storytelling limitations of maintaining a single, continuous timeline is counterproductive half a century on.
If the goal is to open up the storytelling possibilities, get rid of the continuity that's confining you.
