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?

I like your nerd!maths re Bucky. :D

But re Steve... Just because he was four years older than Bucky in 1941, doesn't mean he still is now. He's 25 + however long it's been since the big defrost. And while we don't have exact figures on that, I think it's closer to ten than seven, given that he is supposed to be tied to Tony's age too...

Oh good point. hadn't thought about that. *sigh* Silly Marvel timelines. Worse than trying to figure out the ages of the Robins over in DC.

Bwa ha ha ha. Had that argument conversation last week. ;-p

If Bruce is 37, I can make it work. If he's 33, as Grant Morrison apparently claims, there's no damn room for five Robins!

I haven't read enough to really be able to figure it out no matter how many Robin there are and what age Bruce is.

In my ideal logic loving world:

Bruce 37, Dick 27, Jason 22, Tim 19, Damian 10. I'm less up on Steph.

In Batman's too valuable to ever grow old and retire land:

Bruce 33, sorry Dick I guess you're back to 23, and while we're at it we'd better kill some of your friends' kids lest they make you look old, Jason no one liked you anyway, you can spend a year instead of three with Bruce so 19, Tim 17 because everyone loves a teenager and their wacky hijinx, Damian, yeah 10'll do.

Actually DC compression is more whacked after all.

Steph is about a year older than Tim so she'll be 19/20ish.

I'd certainly put it as at last ten -- the current span of the Marvel history is at least ten years, probably more like 15, and Cap defrosting is one of the big early markers for that. However, per current canon birthdate he was 22 when frozen, so he's 32-37, which I think feels about right.
