Nelson Muntz is a prominent recurring character in The Simpsons, widely recognized as Springfield Elementary's main bully. His most consistent portrayal places him within the elementary school age group, specifically at 10 years old, which aligns him with Bart Simpson and his classmates.

Alternate or future depiction | 16 |
This dual age portrayal reflects different aspects of his character's presence across the series. The age of 10 is most common, fitting his role as a fourth-grader. The depiction of him at 16 years old typically appears in episodes that show flash-forwards or explore potential future realities for the characters, illustrating his progression into a teenager.
