The youngest Avenger, based on creation date, is Vision.
While the ages of characters in comic books and movies can be complex and subject to retcons, the timeframe of their creation or awakening generally serves as a point of reference. In the case of Vision, he was activated and became sentient only a few years before joining the Avengers.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Vision's Creation: Vision was created by Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He was brought to life using the Mind Stone and a synthetic body.
-
Relative Age: Because Vision was "born" technologically and not through natural birth, his age is calculated from the moment of his activation. Compared to other Avengers like Captain America (decades old, albeit frozen) or Thor (thousands of years old), Vision is significantly younger.
-
Contrasting Perception: While Vision possesses immense intellect and a mature demeanor, these qualities are a result of his advanced programming and the Mind Stone, not lived experience. His actual "age" is far younger than how he appears.
Therefore, considering the timeframe of his creation, Vision is the youngest member of the Avengers.
