Sage was about 12 when Ororo was about 6 when Legion was conceived when Xavier was about 22. I think of Sebastian as being a little older than Charles.

I've given up how Marvel handles the aging process in general with their bizarro sliding timeline. Looking at you, Cassie Lang, Kristoff Vernard, and Julie Power.

Hard dates kinda don't matter in the grand scheme of things. I was really just working relativistically. You have to discard actual dates for a lot of characters such as Ororo, Jean, and Psylocke/Brian, so while Magnus is more specifically tied to an actual historic moment moreso than the other characters, especially coming from a book in 2009, I don't think that is so important.

Jubilee was referencing/quoting Little Richard, Sally Jessie Raphael, had a Walkman, listened to Blondie/Clash/the Cure when she was a new character. The Marvel Handbook for 1989 also listed her as 15 years old... but the three or four years later when Gen X debuted she was supposedly 13.5. Either way, I have a hard time believing that she would be a teen still. She said she was 16.5 in a Gen X issue (around issue #60 or so,) in the late 80s. That would mean she aged three years in ten real-world years. It’s been 20 years since then, so she should be at least 22-23 in my opinion.
Jubilee wins for sliding timeline aging, no doubt. She was introduces as a teen in the 80's, and still is a teen well into the 2010's. Some current writers still treat her as a teen. For my inner continuity, she was 12.5 back in the Aussie era(ala Natalie Portman in Leon the Professional), when Kitty was just turning 15 in early Excalibur, turns 13 circa X-Men #1(there was a six month time gap between the end of the Muir Island Saga and #1), and the early 90's Blue/Gold era covers another few months before we get to the mid 90's Gen X launch. The whole of Gen X's 75 issues is less than two years(ignoring that they positioned her and Skin as 18 moving to LA after the Mass. Academy closed) so she's only 16ish circa the X-Corps/New X-Men era, which was only about 3 years ago to current, which puts her at 19, almost 20 now. I still think of Kitty as being barely 22(it's been less than 10 years since DPS, where she was 13.5, and despite Jean being explicitly 24 at the end of DPS, she now retroactively has to be much younger, barely 20).
It all gets confusing if you look at it too long.
