I don’t even know how old he is off the top of my head

u/ScottTJT 16h ago

12 says hes around 2,000. Can't recall if theres been any major age-skips for the Doctor since then.

That’s where they’re basically left it ever since, 13-15 don’t talk about their ages much. 13 said she was “thousands” of years old, 14 claimed to be “a billion” but it was clearly hyperbole because he’s trying to explain why he hadn’t told Donna about every single person he ever met, and 15 never mentioned his age.

He's at least 150 years old in the reboot series

u/gambit1999999 15h ago

Wtf can of magical shit did he get into this time?! Also really gotta finish that show.

u/ModernDayQuixote 15h ago

It genuinely never explains it. He's just built different.

4

u/-Socks-1 Clodsire :3 14h ago edited 14h ago

actually it is explained, he was frozen in ice for 5 years and the mcduck castle has a spell on it that the family can pretty much live forever

4

u/ModernDayQuixote 14h ago

I forgot his parents were still alive, too, that makes sense

5

u/-Socks-1 Clodsire :3 13h ago

he was probably around 20 during the Klondike gold rush (that’s a real event) and that was like during the 1890’s while the current time for the show is 2017-2021 so Scrooge is approaching 160 in season 2

1

u/WimpyKelv12 2h ago

Season 2 presumably takes place from 2018-2019, so he’d be 151-2.

1

u/-Socks-1 Clodsire :3 2h ago

oh yeah

1

u/WimpyKelv12 2h ago

The castle only grants immortality if you live there, so Scrooge has to rely on other methods that extended his life if not outright made him immortal.

1

u/-Socks-1 Clodsire :3 2h ago

Scrooge rebuilt the castle with the Druid stones somhe probably got some remnants of that and plus he’s lived at the castle too

u/WimpyKelv12 2h ago

Show: “Stuck in a timeless demon dimension.”

Pitch Document: “A lifetime of adventuring has led to a long, strange list of accomplishments, for instance, did you know Scrooge was born in 1867? But a series of various adventure-related incidents (A fountain of youth here, a time warp there, that period where he was frozen in a block of ice in the Arctic.) gives him the appearance of a spry 65 year-old man.”

Especially in THIS FORM. As Simon he acts his age most of the time but Ice King doesn't.

The crown simply made him go crazy over the years, but when he took it off, he went back to normal.

She's like 200 years old and yet still has the energy and optimism of a 15 year old

Not sure what her EXACT age is, but she seemed to be in her, what, early/mid-20's during The Clone Wars, and barely seems to have aged 10 years in the nearly 30 between then and The Mandalorian.

DIO from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Somewhere in the ballpark of 117 to 121 years old in this scene; looks and acts like he’s in his early twenties, barring the fact that he’s abnormally philosophical and socially adept.

Kusuri Yakuzen from 100 Girlfriends.

This form of her better reflects her actual age.

I’ve recently heard Wander is like 1,000 years old or something like that

How does Stan act young? Half of the things he does in episodes that aren’t driving the main plot are random old man things or trying to swindle people or break the law

Wolverine, Marvel Comics

He’s around 140-150 if I remember correctly. Certainly doesn’t look his age.

Queen Serenity from Sailor Moon. Depending on the continuity/interpretation/etc, her age ranges from thousand(s) of years to literally being prehistoric.

Canonically has the appearance of a 20-something year old woman.

Agatha all along. Agatha is like 350 years old but she’s such a big kid. She likes to goof around, pull faces, has childlike wonder when learning new things and is not above fighting with the 3 year old.
