Help?

 Hey y'all. First post, yay. *ahem* 

I got a question about Tony's age. I know Steve was 27 when he got frozen, and is probably 30 (not counting the decades during which he was frozen) at this point, but how old is Tony? I can't find a birthday on Wiki, and I don't know if it has been mentioned in the comics. Anyone here know/have a rough estimate?

HoBoy ... let me get out my notes ...


I can't tell you exactly the origin of this info (because I was lazy and didn't cite most of it at the time):

I've got current!Tony born in 1973 either in March or he's a Scorpio, so October 23 to November 21. Getting injured in 1997 and then shortly there after he becomes Iron Man and within the next few years Steve get's defrosted.

There are some side notes of him being a hero on his own for more than a year before the Avengers were formed and Steve being found very shortly after the Avengers were formed. But I don't know if that is supposed to be current!canon or original!canon.

I've also got some other original!canon notes if you think that might help.

As for Steve notes: I have him being born in 1922; based on him saying he was "85" in The Confession. His "actual age" at the time (c. Spring 2007), based on my estimation of him coming back in 1999, would have been 31.

So minus the recent limbo/death time Steve is probably 32 or 33. Tony should be 36 or 37, but due to his own suspended animation/whatnot he's likely a year or so younger.

... damn you floating comic book timelines! lol

I have nothing relevant to say, but nice icon! Definitely one of the best lines of the movie.
