Episode 13: I'm sorry, you're HOW OLD?

Welcome to Up Your Nerd Cred! This week, CiCi dives solo into one of comics’ strangest truths: just how ancient some of your favorite heroes and villains really are.

From Martian Manhunter’s centuries of grief-snacking on Oreos to Wonder Woman’s millennia of Amazonian wisdom, from Loki’s thousand-year commitment to the horned helmet bit to Apocalypse’s 5,000 years of survival-of-the-fittest cosplay — the multiverses are crowded with characters who could probably qualify for senior discounts ten times over.We’ll cover:

13 Marvel and DC characters with canon ages over 120 yearsThe comic issues and stories that explicitly reveal their birthdates or lifespansWhy immortality sometimes means being bad at skincare, parenting, or just picking a better outfit

Whether you’re here for deep lore, weird trivia, or just to hear CiCi dunk on Mystique’s parenting skills, you’ll leave this episode knowing a little more — and upping your nerd cred.
