Echo Is… 21 Or 22? In The Marvel Universe Right Now That Is

Published Wed, 01 Dec 2021 05:57:10 -0600

Echo is the new Phoenix in the Marvel Comics title. She is also in the new Hawkeye TV series, debuting briefly last week, and now in the new episode. But how old is she? Well, although this will be subject to the Marvel Sliding Timescale, right now it appears that she was conceived at the beginning of 1999… thanks to a little time travel in today's Phoenix Song: Echo #2 by Rebecca Roanhorse, Luca Maresca, and Kyle Charles.

As the year switches from 1998 to 1999, giving everyone a chance to play that Prince song interminably, so a meeting of Echo's mother and father is on the cards.

And while auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind, the best-laid plans aft gang agley, and it all gets rather Back To The Future. Although thankfully she never tries to seduce either of her parents while wondering how that would play in her actual future… because in Avengers #50, they haver big plans for her. If they could only just sit around and agree.
