Because child-Raven is explicitly given an age in the credits.

that sounds about right! (I put charles' age at 40s in the app but I realize now he's actually in his 50s in Apocalypse lmao whoops)

Which is hilarious because the actor was about 35.

And Jennifer Lawrence was in her 20s.

I might have been doing some math for tagging Charles.

How long did she live with him vs. how long did she live away from him.

by apocalypse she's almost certainly been on her own for longer than she lived with him, right?

Yeah.

Even not counting the years she'd lived on her own before him.

18 with him vs. 21 without. (Or 31 if you count before they met.)

i mean mystique doesn't really... age like a human either (at least in comics)

Schist: True. But Charles and Erik?

i got no answers on that one lol

Not to mention Hank.

mutants just have good genes i guess

lol

superior

yeah I think it's played that they don't age at the same rate as a standard person for hashtag mutant reasons

Also according to the timeline, Erik was arrested about a year after leaving with Raven and everyone.

because the ages are

wild

lol Yeah. They're in their 50s (or very early 60s for Erik and Charles).

In Dark Phoenix.

This will never stop being funny to me

mississippis: LOLOLOL

WAS IT REALLY ONLY 8 IC YEARS?!

that image puts it into stark perspective wow

y2k was rough

Theoretically, the original movies didn't have a timeline. Like, there was the flashback to Erik's past, but everything else was just 'present day'.

The flash forward in DoFP was listed as 2023.

i always put it down on mutant genes

actually headcanon they just age slower idgaf

erik is currently 62 because hes from dark phoenix

that's set in 1992 and he was born in 1930

Yeeeep.

Good looking for an old man.

yes

mississippis lmao someone once said the clinton administration really aged him, sounds about right

yup, what everybody said! just mutant genes

I estimated Hank to have been born in 1945, given that he graduated Harvard at 15 and then was ~18 by the first movie. so he's currently 27 in Pixie lmao

27 and the woman he's in love with is 49. love that for him

age is but a number

yeah. all the mutants are just agewise

yeeep

limerick: omg 😭😂

lmao mutants fall into two age categories: student, and adult
