So Peter Parker, Johnny Storm, and the original 5 X-Men are about the same age, give or take a few years, right? Like, if you had to map it out, would it be (oldest to youngest) Hank, Scott, Warren, Peter, Johnny, Jean and Bobby? Only asking because Hank and Scott always definitely seemed like they had a few years on Pete.

brevoortformspring:

Hank is the oldest, he’s 30 or so.

Peter, Johnny, Scott and Warren are all the same age, give or take a few months. Late 20s.

Jean is dead.

Bobby is about two years younger than the above crew, so we’ll call that mid-20s at this point.

How old would the New Mutants crew (and Kitty) be, then? When they were first introduced, they were established as being 8 to 11 years (depending on the character) younger than the original X-Men. What about the Generation X group? And the New X-Men group?

Are they all still teenagers, or have/will they also been/be allowed to age up slowly as younger generations of mutants were/are introduced? If the latter, won’t they all (and the originals) eventually all get bunched up in their mid-to-late twenties? Either way, it won’t be preserving the generation gap originally established between each of these groups, which really doesn’t feel right.
