[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5673953, member: 42169"] I don't see how "characters feeling old" is such an issue in comic books. For instance, since I'm a X-fan... Age in the X-Universe is annoyingly inconsistant to the point of anyone complaining that "25 year old peter Parker getting married and having babies with Mary Jane makes him too old" is almost deserving of a blank stare and a shake of the head, followed by a "Really?!?" Pixie went from 15 at the start of Messiah complex to 18 (or maybe 21) at the beginning of Manisfest Destiny. In Marvel universe time that was 3 weeks! In real time this happened over the course of one year. Jubilee went from 20/21 during New Warriors to 19 (?!?!) in X-Men: Curse of the Mutants. This happened in the course of 2-3 years. Emma Frost went from 45 to 30 to 60 to 25 to 29 to 27 to 24 then back to 27. Magneto and Charles Xavier are annoying since they are teenagers during WWII yet are often written as if they are in their 40s/50s.. Even worse, is the fact that Obama is the current president of the us meaning that they should be in their 70s or 80s. Did I mention Magneto is currently being pushed into a relationship with Rogue, who is 24/27 (barf)? Then there's the newest youngest member of the X-men... a 14 year old that often is drawn as a 20 year old. /facepalm [/QUOTE]
