The comic publishing date was Dec 2005, so assuming a rule of thumb that comic stories run a Earth Prime date parallel to our own (see the wedding stories both in comics and first in-game as proof of this), then BABs and Manticore 1 first worked together in 1985. Assuming BABs was born in 1960 and put the Regulators together at age 19 in 1979, then he was roughly 25 when Manticore 1 and he first worked together.
Now what puzzles me with that is why Justin, Manticore 2, did not understand all that happened to his parents. He certainly wasn't in his low 20s when he married Shalice. I'm thinking at least 30, which would put him at least 10 years old assuming his dad died in 1985. Older if later. I'm going to stop now. My head is hurting from tossing all these numbers around. lol  |
The Freedom Phalanx novel takes place in 1986. In it we've got a fully grown Justin Sinclair as Manticore who's hunting Protean who had murdered his parents decades before. Positron and Synapse are also in it and the novel gives their ages at 27.
The simple explanation is that like comics, the CoH universe works on a sliding timeline.
.
And there's always the parallel to the Avengers' Rage, who was a 13 year old kid who, as part of getting his powers, looked like an adult.
Dec out.
