Selene

At 17,000 years old, Selene is by all accounts the oldest mutant in the Marvel Universe, older even than Apocalypse. Selene was "old when the world was in its infancy." Born in central Europe after the destruction of Atlantis, Selene already existed before written word, during the Hyborian Age, when she rubbed elbows with Kulan Gath and Conan the Barbarian no less. She was even worshiped as a goddess in some places, suggesting she could be her namesake in Greek mythology. Yet in all these years, Selene has never gone long without obliterating her wrinkles.
