RandomFictional Characters Who Are Way Older Than They Look (18 items)

(#18) Edward Cullen
- Eclipse, Twilight, New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2
Edward Cullen was only 17 when he was first turned into a vampire. Born in 1901, Cullen was 104 years old by the time he met Bella in Twilight. It might seem a bit odd that a 104-year-old-man would be insatiably attracted to a teenage girl, but vampires aren't exactly the most morally upstanding beings in the world anyway.
(#4) Chewbacca
- The Star Wars Holiday Special, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Chewbacca is so old that it's a miracle he hasn't gone gray. The towering Wookie was already 200 years old by the time he met Luke and Leia in A New Hope, making him 234 at the time of The Force Awakens. While that might seem pretty old, Chewbacca is actually middleage by Wookie standards. The average Wookie can live well past 400 years.
(#8) Wolverine
- The Wolverine, X2, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men, X-Men: The Last Stand, Hulk Vs, X-Men: First Class
Wolverine is immortal, or that's what we thought until the events of Logan. In's Wolverine's Fox finale, Logan had aged significantly and was starting to look like an old man. If we're going off Logan's backstory in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he was born sometime around 1832 in the Canadian wilderness. Logan takes place in the year 2029, meaning Wolverine was 197 years old when he finally passed on.
(#1) Mystique
- X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men: First Class, Epic Movie, X2, X-Men
Raven Darkholme, better known by her alias Mystique, is an enigma. Since she can manipulate her appearance at will, it's hard to tell exactly how old she is. According to the character herself, she was not born in the 20th century. This would make her 120 at the very least, but it's likely that she was born even earlier. She was once given a sapphire necklace and told that the sapphire was her birth stone, suggesting that she was at least born in the month of September.
(#9) Hellboy
- Hellboy: Sword of Storms, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Hellboy, Disaster Movie, Hellboy: Blood and Iron
Hellboy really isn't a boy at all, he's a full-grown man at this point. It's tough to say exactly how old Hellboy is, but he was first discovered as a baby on December 23, 1944. That would make him at least 75 years old in 2019, and he looks pretty good for his age.

It's highly likely that he is much older, however. According to the comic Hellboy: The Chained Coffin, Hellboy's parents were a woman named Sarah Hughes and and a demon named Azzael. Hellboy is said to have been conceived the witch holiday of Walpurgis Night in 1574, and was born in Hell when his mother passed in 1617.
(#6) Wonder Woman
- Wonder Woman, Movie 43, Wonder Woman, Justice League: New Frontier, Justice League: Doom
Diana of Themyscira, more commonly known as Wonder Woman, is an Amazon warrior princess who may or may not be related to the Greek gods. According to Sally Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman, she imagines Diana is around 800 years old when she is first exposed to the world of men, and about 900 in the present-day world. Jenkins views Diana as a child at 800, however, suggesting that she could live for much longer.
