    after re-reading Loki's rebirth, it came to me that I didn't know how long it took for Asgardian's to age. it seems that they all grow older but they stop at a certain point. do they age like humans until they reach a certain age? or do they age gradually, e.g a century = a year?

    @CapFanboy: Asgardians seem to age like humans when young but once they reach adult hood their aging slows down significantly, they are not immortal like Olympians in the fact once the reach adult hood they stop aging all together. It's unknown how long it takes before old age sets in for an Asgardian but it seems to take at least a few millennia before their even considered middle aged.

    Thor is multi millions years old but that could be a bad example because he's half elder god and Elder gods are true immortals. but Volstag who is a regular asgardian is eveen older than him.

    Asgardians are virtual Immortals; they age in an extremely slow rate upon reaching adulthood through the periodic consumption of the Golden Apples of Idunn that keep their vigor and youth as shown in Thor: Ages of Thunder One-shot. Plus it is also written in Norse Mythology...

    I think that is retconned about the Golden Apples.Odin lived for thousands or millions of years.

    Again, I think it's rather vague and inconsistent and subject to the whims of the writer.

    They age very slowly. Thor is considered a young god, for instance.

    The Stone Age was 2.5 million years ago... The Asgardians aging really depends on the writer.

    well,Asgardians are in fact immortal.also considering that Angela is still young like she is in her early 20s,despite being millions of years old(Thor said that he was alive when people still lived in caves and Angela is older than him)and she is a Goddess(daughter of Odin and Freya).it all depends on a writers.one writer loves more real Norse mythology while others want more logical choice to make Gods immortal.even Stan Lee said that Thor is immortal.its not right to type on a wiki or comic vine "Longevity".it should be immortality.

    Wow nice scan, here's another clue since we see how long Loki has lived for despite not being a true Asgardian:

    what happened to those apples anyway?

    they are either forgotten or they were destroyed when Asgardia went to the Sun.

    characters likes Cul, Hela and Angela never needed them.

    Yeah they were are forgotten all the time except in chaos war, to amp herc where apperently all (or many) of the pantheons have something like that ambrosia etc

    the best excuse i can come up to this is the fact that asgardians change from ragnarok to ragnarok and they only needed in the 23rd ragnarok

    It´s the same with asgardians breathing in space. Aaron says they can (Thor thinks well to Jane Thor to be in the moon then she must be an asgardian), Hicman says Thor can hold his breath a lot, angela can breath in space,
