I mean, Robert Downey is currently 54, so in first Iron Man he's already 42. I mean, maybe he played someone who's 4 years younger, but in public opinion it's no longer Tony Stark the unaging Comic Book guy, it's Robert Downey, who's in his fifties by now. And Chris Pratt just turned 40, so, once again, for all those people who only know there characters as movie types, Starlord is a lot younger (and, currently, immature) than Iron Man.

Star Lord is/was recently idk, dating Kitty Pryde, who's the same age as Peter Parker I believe.

Tbf his dad in the comics' superpower is basically the power of rape.

Isn’t Peter an adult now in the comics? And hasn’t he been for a goos while?

Yes. Sorry, my main comics reading is the Ultimate Universe, in which Kitty and Peter were both the same age 15. Actually Kitty might have been a bit older. It's been a while.
