    This is either a good way to cover it up or the truth. Took this off of Uncannyxmen.net 

     According to “Generation Hope” writer Kieron Gillen Idie’s age is a mistake. She is supposed to be 14, not 12.

    So Mr Fraction forgot the continuity that had been agreed with his co-writer?  Why doesn't that surprise me...  Either way, she's still very mature looking for a 14 year old.  Stereo-typical comic physiology.   
     
    Personally, I think it would have been more interesting to have a younger character.  After all, it's pretty rare for a character to develop mutant powers at such a young age.  She could learn to control her abilities quicker than older characters, etc...

    I liked the idea of having a younger character, but I guess 14 going on twenty is as close as we will get.

    actually I just read the Heroic age: X-men source book and it says 12 too. So this is all messed up at this point.
