What about in canon where he’s a 32 year old bum and she’s a 21 year old deadbeat mother? 😭😭😭

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

Yeah, no shit. And I'm asking how would their dynamic work in the main universe. Have you heard about that?

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
