Interesting Power
You could potentially live forever.--IotV 08:00, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- Not necessarily, the ability could work only making him appear to have an age, instead of actually changing his age, kinda like a limited shapeshifting. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:16, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- If it was illusion, then I would agree, but it's different. He's actually remolding his body. And, you wouldn't die from age - related causes as, surely, a young boy is extremely unlikely to get, I don't know, *insert ages - related disease*.--IotV 11:29, 24 February 2009 (EST)
Speaking as an old guy, I'd love to have this power!--Cro Magnon 11:41, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- We don't know if he is actually more frail when he appears as an old man, or if he retains his youthful strength at all ages. (I'm assuming his actual age is closer to the "father" one than the "grandfather" one, but of course we don't really know that for sure.) But if he gets something age-related, such as alzheimer's disease, I wonder if he would retain that disease after shifting to another age. My guess would be yes, since he kept the scar. --Psiphiorg 19:47, 24 February 2009 (EST)
One word
- Shouldn't it be jsut one word, Ageshifting, like Shapeshifting.--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 18:15, 24 February 2009 (EST)
- I'd say not, because it's two words in the comic book itself. --Psiphiorg 19:43, 24 February 2009 (EST)
