You're welcome. (basking in the loving feelings on this board)

I don't think trying to figure out the x-men's ages are worthwhile. They're always changing. I think for the most part, marvel deliberately avoids giving them definate ages.

Is Beast still 30? They haven't de-aged him. I thought that it was fun having him turn 30 at the same time the title turned 30. I figured that wold be about it for any of the XMen having birthdays....

I agree with Spatula Gal. I don't think comic book characters really need to age. Not in regular continuity anyway. Because you end up having to retire cool characters for no good reason.

It's best if you think of them as forever being in a certain age bracket.
Younger characters can age into adulthood (ala Robin) while characters that started out as adults don't every get much older (ala Batman)

Remember, Clark Kent became Superman at the age of 35. And he's been a super-hero how long?

I think Kurt will always be mid-20's.

Hmmmmm. According to X-Men Annual #4 (Nightcrawler's Inferno!), Kurt turned 21 while Kitty was 13 and 1/2. I'm not sure how old Colossus was supposed to be, but I think he was 19. I thought that Kitty had finally turned 20 sometime before she started dating Pete Wisdom, but I'm not sure why. A scene with her in The Dream Nails trilogy part two has her and Pete in a bar, and she says she needs a drink, so I supposed that she was close to legal. That was a few years ago, so I thought she'd at least be 21 by now, but there is no continuity in the Marvel universe, it seems, because I think she was supposed to be 18 when she left. So Kurt could be anywhere from 26-28, theoretically. But you never know. Just a guess.
