->In a couple days I’m gonna turn 29 years old, and I'm very excited about that. I was hoping by now that I would look older but that didn’t happen. I don’t look older, I just look worse, I think.

->''[[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy Jack]] was overconscious of his relative youth. Although in America forty-three is considered young for a President, it is early middle age for a man. Certainly, to me, seven years younger, Jack seemed--and indeed was--mildly decrepit. He moved stiffly when he did not limp painfully from a bad back; war wound was the official line; touch football, the reality.''

->ComicBook/{{Rogue}} turned to see [[ComicBook/{{Valor}} Lar]] looking at her. She still wasn't quite sure what to make of the young man. For young he was. Oh, [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] had explained that, in reality, he was older than he looked (Daxamites, like Kryptonians, had longer lifespans than Terrans and, as such, keep their young looks longer. It had been a shock to learn that Kara, though apparently in her mid-twenties, was still a teen in Kryptonian terms. Which would make her close to 50 or 60 in Terran years.
