Thread Drift - Do you BELIEVE what Marvel Tells U About Character Ages?

Probably two comic years

It has to be more than that. That would mean decimation happened less than two years ago, and everyone would still be suffering from PTSD

Well, decimation is from 2006, so doing the math with the 13 years that Amazing Spider-man mentioned, its still a little more of two years since that; and have seen how the X-men are still obssessed with survival ?.

I just thought that by now, time had been compressed in the 616 like 2 fold so that various periods/ ages of characters are existing on top of one another. Like, Emma may have been in high school when the O5 were active but her highschool era was 20 years previous to when they were actually born- they just happened to be in her era at that time because of TIME COMPRESSIONNNNNNN... thanks Age of Ultron.

Either way, i will concede that Dazzler has 7 years on Kitty. And Kitty will canonically always be demographically under 21.

But she graduated from college already.

nah 2 years seems just about right. Maybe 3 at the max

If it's only been 14 years since the FF flew into space then the O5 were formed in the year 2000.

No, it just means Uncanny issues 1 - at least 189 took place in the space of a year

Keep in mind. Emma is pretty vain. She may have said in panel she was 27, but that may just be what she says to people. I'm guessing there is at least a decade on top of that.

At first, when I looked at this, I thought it was insane. But as I read it, I'm finding I completely agree with it.
