I don't think remember it being made clear as to what his age was. How old was Luke Cage in Marvel's Jessica Jones? Is he older than Jessica?

Inspired by this question.

    You know, there's another very famous Luke. Perhaps your title would benefit from increased specificity. – frеdsbend Jan 18 '16 at 1:35

    @fredsbend - it's a gag. We had a Finn question before. And I think a Rey question too. Took all my willpower not to dupehammer :) – DVK-on-Ahch-To Jan 18 '16 at 1:42

  • @fredsbend - I guess you haven't see the similar questions about Rey and Finn? – Wad Cheber Jan 21 '16 at 5:58

    As old as his tongue and a little older than his teeth. – Paul Oct 13 '16 at 13:30

We don't know

Neither Marvel nor Netflix has published the age of Luke Cage as he appears in the television series Marvel's Jessica Jones. Also, his age does not come up in any dialogue in the show.

I suspect, however, that Cage is intended to be slightly older than Jones, given that the actor who plays Cage, Mike Colter, is 39 years old (at time of posting), while Krysten Ritter is 34. But as we know, ages of actors and their characters need not correspond.

    Now that he has his own show, is there any more information. (Please avoid spoilers.) – ibid Oct 13 '16 at 15:02
