Northstar is the haughty mutant speedster affiliated with the X-men, though he was originally a member of Alpha Flight. He is most famous for being the first openly gay superhero.

How old is he supposed to be?

I always thought he was older seeing as how Alpha Flight was in the 80's but i'm changing my mind on that.

Anyway, any roundabout figures?

He was supposed to be in his mid to late twenties in the first Alpha Flight series. We all know comics don't follow a strict real-life time line, so I would guess he is supposed to be about 37 now.

I would agree with this. 
 It's really quite hard to tell with Marvel' sliding time-scale.
