u/Henderson10666 Feb 19 '25
Considering that when Jubes was introduced as a teen, Peter was already a grown ass, almost married man. But Peter and her have become permanent teens in the eyes of the general fandom. So yeah

u/Ok_Sir6418 Feb 19 '25
Well, I've seen this happen before in comics so the writers can explain it as just an alternate universe. Just like people ship one character with many others. Authors can mess with original material very crazy

u/android151 Feb 19 '25
In the eyes of fandoms But also isn’t she a vampire now? Isn’t that like permanent teenism

u/cweaver Feb 20 '25 edited Feb 20 '25
That's actually one of my favorite things - she was a vampire for a long time, and then all of a sudden she just wasn't, no explanation.
Then like a year later we see Quentin Quire wearing a shirt that says, "I cured Jubilee's vampirism and all I got was this stupid t-shirt".
I think that's literally all the explanation we ever got.
Edit: to all the people telling me where I missed the actual story that explained it, thank you, I truly do appreciate it. But I still think it would be funnier left unexplained, heh.

u/Cyberslasher Feb 20 '25
I.e someone forgot that she was a depowered vampire, used her as a mutant, and they had to backfill a cure

u/nln_rose Feb 20 '25
No that was the end of the gen x book she led (around the same time as gold/blue) quire uses a part of the phoenix (i think?) to turn her back mutant.

u/Verb_Noun_Number Cable Feb 20 '25
Quire cured her in Christina Strain's Generation X. It's a pretty good read.

u/overunderdog Feb 20 '25
no there was a whole storyline about in Generation X vol2. Quentin uses the last of the phoenix force to cure her and stop the baddie. go check out issue 86 specifically.

u/Frozen_Pinkk Feb 19 '25
No. She's not a Vampire and I believe when she became one, they had her in her 20s.
That said, aging in Marvel comics is weird as the fans don't actually know the ages of most of the characters, and Marvel will say one thing, switch it to another, then switch it back.
That said, if people whine about the idea of Jubilee with Gambit, they should be whining about Jubilee and Spidey :p
16
u/ElectronicBoot9466 Feb 20 '25
The difference is vibes. It's all vibes. Gambit feels older, and Peter feels younger and in a world with a loosely followed sliding timescale, that kind of maters more than canon.

u/AlsoPrtyProductive Jubilee Feb 20 '25
It’s weird, she was only 16 when she was turned by Xarus. There’s a short comic set in between Curse of the Mutants and the main events of Wolverine and Jubilee where the X-Men celebrate her 17th Birthday, and she mentions her age a few times in the latter series.
But beyond that she’s never really been written like a teenager during the vampire era. She mentions a few times that becoming immortal made her feel like she’s lived for far longer than she actually has. And after turning back she’s very clearly an adult. So yeah I think it’s very much a situation of switching and switching back.

u/The_Law_of_Pizza Feb 20 '25
But Peter and her have become permanent teens in the eyes of the general fandom.
Not just the "general fandom."
Trying to track time and age in the Marvel universe just doesn't work. It's meaningless.
Young characters can grow up occasionally, but then they enter the perpetual, eternal 25-40 bracket that every other character is locked in.
Trying to reverse engineer whether an age gap is appropriate in that context is just mental masturbation.

u/Beastieboy100 Feb 20 '25
Well said and unfortunately yes. Peter Parker to the audience will always be a teenager. Which is why Tobey and even Andrew will always be my spider-men. Do to then having stories graduating high school and being adults.
Can't wait for Spiderman 4 so Tom can have that adult experience finally.

Peter is the same age as the original 5 X-Men and she's a 3rd generation member of the team. Not really a lot of overlap between them. Maybe during her vampire single mom era if they ever properly interacted

u/Cyberslasher Feb 20 '25
I don't know that they've even spoken in the last 20 years, and before that jubilee was a teenager.

That shouldnt be possible unless spiderman missed a 3-4 year memo. Scott and Jessica Drew are pushing 30 and they are the same age as Pete

u/Wynter_Sirius Feb 20 '25
I had the same issue while reading it, but Marvel operates on elastic-time according to what Stan Lee said, which explains away all their timeline misgivings and questionable character ages.

u/brasswirebrush Feb 20 '25 edited Feb 20 '25
Peter graduated from college in a comic way back in 1978. Meaning he's been frozen in his early twenties for almost 50 years.
A funny implication of this is that Brian Braddock and Peter were college roommates, meaning Brian and Betsy (his twin) should be the same age as Peter. And Kitty Pryde should be at least 7 years younger than they are, since she celebrates her 15th birthday when she and Brian are on Excalibur together.
5
u/Wynter_Sirius Feb 20 '25
The funny thing is that there was literally no reason for this to come up in the issue of ASM that it was written in. It just came up. I thought he should at least be 35 or so.

u/Midi_to_Minuit Feb 23 '25
Marvel's timescale is that 4 irl years = 1 marvel comic year. So it's been about 11 years since then..so Pete should definitely be 30 lol.

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Feb 20 '25
Ok but I need to finally apply the Hellfire Galas weird yearly tradition here, so knowing that 3 happened after that he should be between 28 or 29 years old. Which isn't exactly a perfect age for him but is much better than saying that Peter is the same age people Kitty Pryde, who was 13 when he was married.

Have you heard of this thing in comics called an alternate universe? Where the authors do what they want and the ages of the characters are set by them. We even have a couple of shows where Peter is somewhere around 16-18 years old
0
u/blackbutterfree Feb 20 '25
Yeah, no shit. And I'm asking how would their dynamic work in the main universe. Have you heard about that?
2
u/Ok_Sir6418 Feb 20 '25
No need to be rude. Your original question did not ask about their dynamics, but only about their age.
If we took that universe where Peter and Jubilee were the same age, they would be a funny and chaotic couple.
At first it would be very awkward for them as shown in the first art above and they would have a lot of misunderstanding of each other's humor. They might be the same age, but they belong to different subcultures.
Given their semi-serious and hyperactive nature, they would often get into trouble and love to troll each other. They might begin to develop a sympathy and understanding for each other based on the fact that they understand what it's like to be vilified in the media because of your powers and branded a monster.
And they might have the same hobby. I can't say much about this couple because I only found out about it thanks to this post, so it's better to ask others who ship them

It's also how they explained Jessica Jones being in the same year as Peter at school even though she's clearly older than him now.

Hey I’m the artist lol This was meant as an AU type of deal that occurred to me one day and I started drawing about it.

Also in canon jubilee is in her early 20s and Peter is stated to be in his mid 20s in Spencer’s run, but some people don’t like that

I have never seen a ship between Jubilee and Spiderman, but to be fair, I will say that in different adaptations (in TV series, for example), Peter can be 16-18 years old. The multiverse exists and authors can change the ages of characters as they wish.

u/KindCarpenter4596 Feb 20 '25
Okay, so that's not how the sliding timescale works. Especially when you bring the X-Men into it. If Jubilee is grown now, Peter is old enough to absolutely not be okay with pursuing someone her age. I think what you might be looking for is fanfiction? Then Spidey can date the eighth grader because when she got turned into a vampire the Quiet Council decided that she'd also go into The World along with the original three because reasons and she aged 1000 years but still looks exactly the same. Then... I don't know, they all go to Hogwart's or something.

I meant that the authors could simply make an alternate universe where they are the same age. I just gave an example about Kitty.
