    In Cable #12 he said it was about day 1528. That is a little over 4 years.

    The days do not start at her birth. They start when he enters New Liberty. Hope says she is 7 in #11.

    Yup. You are correct. He did not start counting until he left New Liberty. Hope also said in issue #11 that she is 7.

    well, if you start from when she was born and the current year she is living in, she hundreds of years old. :) Time travel must be a pain in the record systems.

    I tried to figure it out, but it got confusing. I think she was nine during Messiah War. Now, I think she's about... 14? 16? I'm really not sure. Somewhere during Messiah Complex to now they forget to tell us and help us keep track. The current arc I think lasted for 3 - 4 years. She was stuck in the city for two years (or was it only two years for Cable...) and then two or so years in space.

    She was thirteen when Cable saved her from the Brood I believe.

    Let me think. She was nine in Messiah War (that means she was in Stryfe's "world" for two years, I think. Wasn't she seven in the previous arc?). She spent two years in the city until Cable "caught up." Two years I think they were in space. Yeah, 13. 
     
    How old is she now?  I'm guessing around 14-15 since the escape pod's hibernation system was malfunctioning, and I think they traveled for two years. I say 14 because I think they said she slipped in and out of hibernation, so she could have slept a total of a year or half a year. 15 would mean she was hardly in hibernation.
     
    PS: Sorry, I'm glitching. I can't reply or quote anyone.

    Even with the slipping in and out of hibernation she would still have to be around 13. To make it to 14 she would have had to have been awake for months. If that happened, she probably would have starved to death. So my guess was that upon leaving the pod, her body was still at 13ish.

    I would think the same. However, the artist drew her as if she aged. Now, I considered the starving thing too,  but.... 
     
    How long was she out of the pod?

    I have not read any issues after they escape the Brood so I do not know.

    Ah. Still, all things considered - mainly due to how she's portrayed - she could be 16. But I'm not sure. 
     
    PS: On a somewhat related note: Cable was better during and before Messiah War. I just haven't liked it after that.

    I am just curious about it because when she escaped the brood, she was 13. When she gets done traveling in space, she is still physically 13 even though she was traveling for 2 years because she was in suspended animation. Are there references to a passing of time since waking from the space slumber?
