Idk why but it's funny to me that Beast is only in his early to mid 30's at the oldest

It's even weirder to think Spider-Man and the O5 X-Men are about the same age.
Scott being younger then both Peter and Johnny Storm is such a strange thought.
WHAT?
Marvel Snapshots X-Men shows the birth of the Lee and Kirby age through 14 year old pre X-Men Scott's pov. We know Peter starts out at 15 and Johnny's current origin has him start at 18. He's younger then both of them.
It's really not weird at all, looking a Peter and Scott they seem roughly the same age.
Hank feels older because he's furry and intellectual.
I look at Scott starting in the 90's and see a man in his mid-30's and Pete never seemed older than 25 to me.
People just seemed older when they where younger back then in general. the idea of what an adult looks like has really shifted as of late.
Your perception is warped by their environments. Peter always lived a very modest life in a shitty apartment with a shitty job and basically just Aunt May for family and was never really allowed to grow, while Scott lived in a massive mansion/school, got to teach kids and a younger generation of his team, and has this crazy huge extended family with time travel and alternate realities and intergalactic royalty. But he only ever actually fathered in child, which was taken away from him. And Peter also had one kid that was taken away from him.
Really? Scott felt late 20s to me. Like the guy who gets married straight out of college, watches his marriage crash and burn, then gets back together with his high school sweetheart. Still trying to figure it all out. Scott didn't feel like a 30-something till the Morrison and Whedon books in the 00s.
>Scott felt late 20s to me.
For me that was his X-Factor years. Giant-Size Claremont X-Men was early-to-mid twenties to me.
In any case being a 20 something then seemed a lot different than being a 20 something now. Hell even being a high school senior or college student felt like they used to be older.
A pre-edit cover for Jean's funeral post Dark Pheonix gave her birth year as 1950, which would have made her 30 at the time.
Shut up, that massive stroke didn't impair my ability to recognize number and lots of people slur when they talk!
That sounds insane to me
And that seems just right.
But if you asked me, I'd say 30 makes sense for the X-Men 92 cartoon series.
>I'd say 30 makes sense for the X-Men 92 cartoon series.
No. Even then they were mid late 20s most. And it made since. Because that's what mid late 20s were like then.
Nah. My parents were mid-20's then and Scott and Jean in particular felt older.
No you were just stupid young.
I think it's just how comic artists draw characters as the same old mid 30s guy. Being incredibly square jawed ripped also makes them look older.
Pic related, these guys are all 15-18
I like how speedball is supposed to be the scrawny toothpick, and is called that all the time while still being jacked in every panel
God, what was Rich thinking with a costume that literally made him a red rocket...named Dick...
Firestar teenager in my head because of the cartoon lol
Firestar is the same age as Pete and Iceman in my head because of the cartoon.
He was considered a teen, or 19 at best until the late 80s. Then all of a sudden he was assumed to be mid 30s like most random heroes.
Actually all the X-Men were incredibly young. The O5 were teens, Colossus was something like 15. Then the 90s series happened and everyone was drawn like a middle aged adult.
>Then the 90s series happened and everyone was drawn like a middle aged adult.
They were drawn pretty well about teenager long before then.
>Then all of a sudden he was assumed to be mid 30s like most random heroes.
Wow, just like how it was for millenials and soon Gen Z
By the late 80s he had been married for at least 2 years and had ditched his wife and kid to shack up with his ex.
I always think of characters as different ages than what writers want, Beast always felt like dude in his 50's so he is to me.
generally speaking characters aren't allowed to age all that much because writers would have to do different things
multiple x-men should have started families before 15 years ago
Kitty Pryde had her 30th years ago, about the same time she ended up running the school in Westchester
she's the same age as Jubilee, who officially turned 17 around the same time
She's a vampire, she's forever young(and allowed to use forever21 in $currentyear)
Is 30 really that young?
yes
It's more that he acts like he's in his early 40s but the perpetual sliding scale means he can never be older than mid-30s. If the old original ages of the O5 still count as canon, Beast can never be older than 33 or 34.
Or perhaps more accurately, he's going to be perpetually 33 or 34 forever.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if they kept to the normal progression of time. It's not like they didn't have the characters age at all. But at what point did they actually realize "hey we're getting on in years, how old do we plan on letting these people get?"
So many crimes against humanity at such a young age. He's really someone to look up to.
yeah
The internet just makes people feel way older than we actually are because of all the kids here.
Not really
...
I'm almost 30...
I wish I were only 30
Kek Hank's age actually an easy way to expose someone who hasn't or has read X comics
