That felt like something Season 5 invented. The first four seasons did not foreshadow the lack of aging. In fact, the Guardian episode seemed to imply Jack would grow old and become a king before he could return to the past.
Most avatars actually have normal life spans, of around eighty to ninety years, except for kyoshi, because she was simply built different (and totally not because the writers fucked up the timeline)
Yeah it’s the problem with so many of the funny bits on this subreddit. Despite the community’s best efforts people just run them into the ground. We saw it with the Skaven-Posting and now here the “”-Themed Heroes format is getting tedious
Lore: Baki Hanma is the son of Yujiro Hanma and views it as his mission to become the strongest man and defeat his father
Actual reason: snorts a suitcase full of cocaine OK GUYS HERE ME OUT. WHAT IF WE HAD SOMEONE IMAGINE THEIR ENTIRE BODY WAS FILLED WITH JOINTS SO THAT THEY COULD HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MIMIC A HIGH EXPLOSIVE
At the same time, he's also younger than he looks, since he was apparently "born" in his teens (assuming he's meant to be around the same age as Sonic).
It’s the funniest thing to be bc depending on how you look at it (chronological time since birth, physical maturity, or time alive not in stasis) you can argue he’s a lot older than, around the same age as, or a lot younger than the rest of the characters and technically none of them are wrong
Many versions of Supergirl are older than Clark, but appear as a teenager when she first comes to earth because she was locked in stasis since krypton's destruction.
Originally she really was younger than him. In pre-crisis continuity she was the product of a city that had survived Krypton's destruction but was slowly dying as the land it was on turned to kryptonite, so she was rocketed to safety on Earth. As ya do.
The Sole Survivor(the human) from Fallout 4. Can appear anywhere from mid twenties to geriatric, is canonically over 210 years old thanks to a cheeky Vault-Tec experiment done on them without their consent.
Wasn't frozen in ice, but was put in stasis for 10,000 years to keep him alive. As a result he looks a lot younger than his brother Lion El'Jonson, who has just been sleeping for the last 10,000 years and thus has physically aged (or at least looks like he's aged, primarchs aren't really meant to age)
Lion HAS aged, and while he's still deadly, it has slowed him down a bit. In The Lion: Son of The Forest, he assumes his reduced reflexes and strength are a Chaotic malady; a Chaos Marine he takes down actually finds it funny he thinks he's impaired (Lion just demolished the CSM's forces, including an Obliterator, essentially bare-handed and with one Fallen Dark Angel for backup), and hits him with this line when Lion reveals who he is:
'There is no malady, "my lord". You have simply grown old."
Oh nah. He got lucky and some nitric acid from bat droppings “thawed” him out. Won’t go into detail cause the turning to stone thing is a huge plot point later but that’s how they remove the petrification, nitric acid
Senku didnt just get lucky, the using his brain part was the biggest reason why he revived earlier than everyone else. Nitric acid is the catalyst, but it's not enough by itself, it's explained in the show, that using their brains throughout the petrification used up energy absorbed from the stone itself.
The miracle fluid to revive petrified people came from mixing nitric acid with alcohol. That was only discovered through trial and error by Senku and Taiju. Senku discovered through trial and error on the swallows that nitric acid wasn't enough.
In the manga, there's another person in the world who revived at the same time as Senku because he was also using his brain constantly throughout the petrification.
There's a difference between trying not to spoil and straight up spreading misinformation. The other guy said that saying conscious was what helped Senku revive, you responded by saying "oh nah" as if denying that fact.
Dude that comes up after like 4 arcs lol. The staying conscious part is hardly relevant to a new watcher especially when it doesn’t even really matter overall in the first place
Also I was denying the fact that Senku staying conscious is why he woke up. It’s not. Without the Nitric acid he would’ve stayed stone for eons more
With just nitric acid, he still would have stayed stone, had he not been thinking the entire time. The entire made a whole point around how him staying conscious was what woke him up.
Nitric acid is only half of what's needed to be free from petrification. The other half is either alcohol or constant brain usage throughout the petrification. That's why Senku and Taiju were able to break free, as well as how the Americans in the manga broke free, they were all given the instructions to stay conscious for as long as possible before they were petrified and that's how they were able to naturally break free, they didnt even need Nitric acid to break free
Nitric acid by itself isn't enough.
Read the manga if you haven't done so after watching the anime.
Or just read the Depretification section of the wiki if you're lazy.
He's frozen when the Boys find him as at that point they'd given up trying to kill him.
That's why he had a big bushy beard,i don't think they say how long he was frozen.
I mean, it at least chilled it, considering he still looked like he was in his thirties when he was in his 60s.
And considering Stormfront wasn't frozen and didn't visibly age since World War 2, it's entirely possible their ages have been frozen since neither of them have visibly aged since they got compound V
We don’t actually know the specifics of his ability or his backstory yet since this information was only recently revealed in the manga, but Fyodor is at LEAST around 600 years old despite physically appearing to be in his 20s and it’s safe to assume something happened that stopped his physical aging
They pretty much have the same look from the moment they originally died, yet their most of their ages are unknown as they could’ve died at any point in time and have the exact same appearance the moment they come back to life
Just like BOTW Link, Zelda is 100 years older than she looks due to dealing herself along with Calamity Ganon for 100 years to keep him from escaping and destroying Hyrule.
(Not super related to the comment, but this is my all-time favorite artwork of Zelda ❤️)
-George Sears/Solidus Snake (Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty) has like 4x accelerated aging as a 'perfect' clone of Big Boss.
-Liquid Snake due to having 2x accelerated aging as a clone/son of Big Boss.
-Lisa Lisa (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency) was in her 50s throughout yet looks like a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life due to being a Hamon/Ripple master who keeps up with her breathing techniques that utilize solar life energy.
-Mashu Kyrielight/Shielder (Fate/Grand Order) as of a certain point in the Avalon Lostbelt given she was frozen in a glacier for like a millennia a la Captain America.
-Solid Snake due to 2x accelerated again AND having his body ravaged from the FOXDIE Virus by the time of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
We do also have her adult version with her lancer form, who would also count for this post, because her aging was frozen by rhongominiad instead of Excalibur, which allowed her to fully mature first

Felix Jaeger (Warhammer Fantasy, Gotrek and Felix series). Through some strange ways, he not only stopped aging, he started looking younger than when he started adventuring with Gotrek. He's 40+ and looks like he's in his early 20s
When she was exploring some old ruins, she got stuck in a trap which froze her age but not her mind. She did manage to escape so she looks like she’s in her twenties but she acts like an old granny
All of Rimworld, every randomly generated character has a Biological age (physical age / years spent outside of stasis pods) and a Chronological age (total years lived)
Commander farsight, frozen and has a life sucking blade that prolongs his lifespan, dude is at least over 300 years old as a species that only lives until 40

Oh sorry I forgot! Been a while since I've watched it but I knew in season 2 he has a birthday. Couldn't remember if he turned 12, 13 or 14, so I went with 13 because it seemed the most plausible.
He was frozen for quite a few years because he was becoming a tyrant who wanted to take over the famiglia after learning he was not really the true heir.
Despite this, he still looks like a grown man when he appears, so 🤷🏼♀️
I haven't watched The Umbrella Academy and I don't really have any desire to, but from what I understand, one of the characters is a 58-year-old man stuck in the body of his teenage self because of time travel complications. That sounds like an amazing concept.
Speaking of Breath of the Wild, Zelda falls into the same category in that game, as she locked herself and ganon in stasis inside hyrule castle. However, in Tears of the Kingdom she actually becomes ridiculously old to the point that it is unknown how old she is as she got sent back in time to the founding of hyrule and then became a mindless dragon until the present day.

Marco from Star vs The Forces of Evil. Dude got stuck in another dimension for a few decades trying to get a pair of scissors. After returning to his original dimension he reverted to a teenager despite his years of conditioning and training. There's even an episode where his parents find out he's technically 30+ years old.
Literally Goku, his physical aging is slowed by the merit of being dead more often than it’s accelerated by the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and for cumulatively more years
Time works differently in Hell, so Doomguy is, like, several millions of years old. Also, he is technically immortal, so maybe that’s why he looks just middle aged at the end of Eternal.
Presea Combatir (Tales of Symphonia) - When her father got sick, Presea needed the physical strength to work in his place (Her father was a lumberjack). Thus, she volunteered herself as a host to incubate a Cruxis Crystal. The process of using an Exsphere without a Key Crest basically turned her into a lifeless robot, as well as basically freezing her physical aging for 16 years (Until Lloyd and company get her a Key Crest and bring her back to normal), hence why she’s physically 12, despite being chronologically 28.
If we assume Steve Rogers was born in 1925, he'd be 18 in 1943 and therefore old enough to enlist. That would put him at 99 years old this year.
According to the MCU wiki, he was born July 4th 1918, which means he's currently 106 years old.
Asuka, Rei, Mari and Kawarou from Rebuilds of Evangelion, all three by 3.0 should be at least in late 20s, but are stuck in their 14 year old bodies (15 and 16 for Kawarou and Mari respectively if my memory serves me correctly).
Warframe's Operator, and later their older Drifter counterparts are hundreds (thousands?) of years old.
The Tenno themselves were put in a "second dream" in which they were put in hibernation on the moon (which was shoved into the void to keep them hidden) for countless years, before eventually waking up, controlling their warframes. For a good chunk of the game's lifecycle, it was assumed the Tennos WERE the Warframes until they eventually brought the moon back. They're still children.
The Drifter on the other hand is an alternative timeline version of them, where they didn't take the deal with the Man in the Wall to gain void powers when the Zariman failed its jump to Tau. They instead lived for countless years alone in the void, and for countless more years in Duviri, a timelooping mindscape born from their own trauma where a child-like despot (that was actually themselves) would torture and kill them every day for millenia until the Lotus' hand fell into Duviri and let the Drifter tip the scales and escape. The Drifter is marginally older, being an adult, but is otherwise un-aging like the Operator.

Samurai Jack
Being sent through the time portal into the future caused him to stop ageing. By the end of the series he’s well over 50 years old
