Interesting Fact: Nightwing, Donna Troy, Arsenal and Tempest are prepetually young because they apparently drank some Immortal Portion during their days as a Titan. In Sins of Youth, everyone over the age of sixteen was aged to a teenager and anyone younger or at sixteen was aged to late or mid twenties.
The only heroes not affected were Superboy and the above heroes. Superboy couldn't age beyond a certain age at that time because of a genetic defect in his cloning process and the former Titans were effectively immune due to the potion.
This was done to "explain" why Dick is only "22" and Batman is still in his early thirties...

Techinically Superman is over a thousand years old if you count his trip to Asgard.

Wally was supposedly just becoming the Flash at that time. Barry was always written at his 40s anyway and he was dead too so...

JLA Year One apparently got retconned out of existence. Black Canary is no longer a founder.
It was a good series too....

The FF has begun 13 years ago, according to the Marvel timeline. So, the original X-men (which begun 12 or 13 years ago) are all under 30, except for the Beast. Spider-man is 27 or 28, The Human Torch must be around this age.

Flash? Well, if you look at it, he's lived many thousand lifetimes in a few seconds due to his speed. The speedforce covers his aging, but when he goes light speed, a minute is turned into years and years.
Dr.Strange is over 5000 years old. Thor is around that age as well.
Wolverine is about 120.

I can pretty safely say:
Alan Scott- Early to mid 90s?
Same goes for pretty much all the classic JSA...
Including Ma Hunkle!

He's early to mid 20s, I reckon. He could easily be 25 or something...

Namor is 86. Captain America is around the same age.
I think Spidey is closer to 30 then 20.

Nope. The Fantastic Four got together about 13 years ago in the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man got his powers in the same year, if not, the next one. He was 15 at the time.
That makes him 27 or 28.
