there are very few x-characters with established ages. currently, moonstar's 21 and rahne's 19. mathematically, that puts all of the new mutants in the 19-25 range, with karma being the oldest. the senior x-men are likely in their early thirties. however, due to the progression of time through the marvel universe, it's very hard to pin down any exact age without it being mentioned specifically in a comic. and, like creshock said, even that's unreliable at times.
Emma has mentioned being "27", but that's in quotes for obvious reasons.
By the same writer, Grant Morrison has said, during his New X-Men run, that Professor Xavier is supposed to be 40, but I highly highly frown upon this.
Part of the problem is they don't age at the same rate we do. Otherwise if Cyclops was even a young teen of 13 when he first appeared then he'd be 55 now. . .
Which means that if Xavier were 18 during WW2, he'd be 36 in '63. . . he'd be 78 now.
Also, if they did have the same time flow then we'd get a glimpse into their lives once a month or so. Dramatic cliffhangers would be odd as the fights would have ended by the time the next issue comes out. . . but some battles can last for a couple of issues. . . a 3 month battle?
And other times a significant amount of time can pass within a few panels. . .
Colossus was 18 when Shadowcat was 14 if I recall correctly. She looks about mid-twenties, which would put Colossus in his late twenties.
I doubt Emma Frost is actually 27, I'd say she's probably mid to late 30s like most of the original and second genesis X-Men.
I'd put Xavier at late 50s if not in his 60s.
Wolverine and Mystique are over a century old.
Jubilee? Who knows?
I've seen pictures of an adult Mystique with a young Irene Adler, where they looked like they were in the late 19th century, or early 20th century, which to me makes her at least 100.
Mhmm..I see what you mean with that. Horses and dirt roads is definitely beyond eighty. Milligan should have thought of that, or maybe it's an error on Claremont's part. No matter, just about 100 sounds right. After all, 100 is over eighty.
xavier's at least 60, making juggernaut at least 62 or 63. jubilee, depending on the writer, is either closer to 15 or closer to 20. wolverine's age is up in the air, ranging from about 80 to 120, i think. we know he's much older than xavier and the rest of the x-men, at least.
magneto and xavier have both had their body's "rebooted" in one way or another, and have a vitality of someone at least a decade younger than they actually are.
Wolverine (According to the events in origin) is about 120 years old, however his healing factor retards his aging, giving him the physical abilities of a man in his thirties............
im kinda curious about bishop and cable and deadpool..anyone know about the age of those 3?? from what i understand cable is a lot older than anyone in the x universe...
