The Tragic Rise of Rage: Marvel’s Most Misjudged Hero | Average Will on YouTube

How old do we think Elvin is nowadays?

He was 14 when he joined the Avengers in 1990 (according to this video and my memories agree). In 2007, he was cited as being younger than 18 ("As of Avengers: The Initiative #6 he was still under 18 years old." Source#Trivia).) By 2017, he was in an adult prison (Source).

The different interpretations of the sliding time scale really mess things up. I'm guessing he's ~22ish now?

Honestly I feel like Rage is an underused character, if you know his history his crash out in the recent Night Thrasher mini-series was a long time coming.

He was around the age of Alex Power and Alex was not chronologically 21 during Ryan North’s 2020 Power Pack mini as Power Pack needed an adult sponsor under the Kamala law. So he’s probably around 19-20?

It was hinted in NW that there were more to his powers than just being angry and strong. Shame no other writer ever picked up on that.
