Hank is the oldest, he’s 30 or so.

Peter, Johnny, Scott and Warren are all the same age, give or take a few months. Late 20s.

Jean is dead.

Bobby is about two years younger than the above crew, so we’ll call that mid-20s at this point.

Yeah sorry, I doubt many people who aren’t brand new to the X-Men read the O5 as younger than mid 30s. I know comic book age for long time characters is a weird gray area but considering all the kids who’ve joined and grown up as x-kids to X-Men… You guys did a lot to de-age Peter but you did not do the same for the X-Men. You even have Storm in her Worlds Apart mini talking about how much older she is than the Dora Milaje(I think thats what they’re called) and how difficult it is for her to keep up with them in a fight. I assume as bodyguards to Black Panther whose lives are in constant danger and women who were previously in “training” to be his brides, and aside from their superstitions their culture being more advanced than even the western world, they have to be in their 20’s, if Storm is also in her 20’s why is she going on about being so old and run down and her aged body being a disadvantage going against the younger adult women? 22 and 27 is not such a huge difference that it would matter that much. The X-books a riddled with these kinda of instances that pretty clearly indicate the older x-generations middle age. Like I said, its a gray area and ultimately not that important but its strange to have someone at Marvel come out and say they’re not even 30 when theres every indication that they are at least in their mid 30s.
