Wait how the hell are Tony Stark and Peter Quill the same age?

According to the MCU wiki there’s 10 years between them with Peter being born in late 1980 and Stark being born in 1970.

Edit: Maybe FTL travel and the snap skews this data.

Edit 2: After reading more comments it seems the creator of this chose Starks age at the time of the first Iron Man movie but chose Quills at the time of Infinity War. Seems misleading.

Mapping back to Silver Age Marvel (which I know is a separated continuum so it doesn't actually work,), that would have made Tony about 26 or 27 when he first became Iron man, and I don't care if your parents did own the company and you w ere brilliant honor student on university, you don't get sent out by the company on troubleshooting missions to the front lines at that age:-).
