Most likely the same age as Kitana or maybe slightly younger considering that Kahn killed Kitana's parents then Tsung created Mileena.

Yeah I want to agree with you but honestly I'm not sure as the actual ballpark age is likely more of a deductive guess taken from obscure MK Lore. I betcha Crow, Razer, or Garlador could be helpful though. They seemed pretty knowledgeable with the Lore.

Well I imagine she's just a few years younger than Kitana. In Sindel's MK3 ending Kitana looked no more than three or four years old so Mileena is probably a bit younger.

I don't think that they have ever specified WHEN in the MK Timeline Mileena was created. I'm assuming that she was created right after Sindel's death when Kitana was a child. This way, both girls grew up together. There is also the possibility that Mileena was created when Kitana was a teenager (17 human years) because thats when Kahn would finally notice certain types of behaviors from Kitana.

I personally like the idea that Kitana grew up thinking Mileena was actually her twin sister, but she discovers that Mileena is a clone in MK2.

Hopefully we find out in this game!

she's barely legal.

Mileena is the same age as Kitana, maybe a little bit younger because Kitana was a baby when Shao Khan adopted her, and if Kitana thought Mileena was her twin sister, they would have had to have created Mileena when Kitana was still a baby so she wouldnt remember it. So Mileena is probably 10,000 give or take, just like Kitana. Jade and Tanya are like 10,000 also.

Mileena is probably a few thousand years younger than Kitana.
IT was probably a story of my lost twin, Kahn pretended to have found Mileena.

I hope we find out how close they were in this game. I mean if they were normal siters that hung out together would kitana not notice that her twin sister looks like nosferatus sex slave?

Mileena birth can span from right after Shao Kahn defeated Edenia to even just before MK2. Depend how paranoid Kahn is. Kitana was pretty much loyal to him until she found out the truth about her past sometime before MK2. Whether Kahn made Mileena to spy on his now betraying step daughter then or he was already paranoid before and made Mileena sooner in event of a betrayal from the getgo. But let examine timeline wise using 'Earthrealm' time. lol. For those who wonder how I came up with the timeline; I worked backward from MK1 time.

Pre-942- Assuming there was no other Mortal Kombat tournament in Earthrealm before then. It around this time, when Shao Kahn finally manage to in 10 straight in Edina, and can legally conquered Edina. So Mileena could be born then.

942- Shang Tsung won the first Mortal Kombat tournament for Outworld, beginning his 9 straight victory for the realm..

1442- Kung Lao defeated Shang Tsung, ending the sorcerer's 9 tournament streak. Had Shang Tsung won, Outworld would have won 10 straight and can legally conquered Earthrealm

1492- Goro won his first Mortal Kombat defeating the Great Kung Lao beginning his 500 years dominance. And so it seems like at that time Mortal Kombat was held every 50 years.

1992- MK1- The intro said it been 500 years since Goro first won Mortal Kombat. If Goro win this tournament, Outworld would have won 10 straight and can legally conquered Earthrealm.

Well Mileena was created by Shang, and Shang's age is given in MK1 as about 1,000 years old, so she's gotta be younger than that.
Kitana would have to have been fooled into believing her twin sister had been "long lost" and recently recovered or perhaps had her memories magically altered to believe Mileena had been there all along, something like that.
I'd be against a magic/mind control answer, though, because the most important thing in Kitana's background that they sometimes get wrong, like in Shaolin Monks, is that she's supposed to actually be loyal to Kahn by CHOICE, she was a baby when he adopted her, so she really believed he was her dad, and didn't turn against him until she learned the truth. So any time you have her under the effects of a spell, it looks like bullshit because it reminds us of those past fuckups.

post this bull shit somewhere else, it does not relate to mk9

Maybe it was her introduction to Mileena that provoked Kitana to discover the truth about Edenia, her real parents, etc?
Maybe she never bought Mileena was her real sister and did some investigating...which led to one revelation and another and another...

That woud be ironic, no?
Mileena was created in case Kitana ever learned the truth....and it was Mileena's creation that caused her to even look?

Actually sir, it does relate to MK9 due to the fact that if this game is being focused around the Mk1-3 area, Mileena and Kitana would be introduced around this time.

And since they're being introduced around this time, I would like to know more about her creation rather than having to know "oh, she's a clone created by Kahn and Shang Tsung so that if Kitana ever betrays Kahn, he'll still have a daughter."

Nice attitude sir, was so unnecessary.

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about every time I complain that ColdWind's ban needs to be reinstated. There was no good reason to let him come back, he ain't learned shit.

The question is....can you give a clone an age?

The answer is yes. ;]

Though I'd suppose there would have to be both a biological and actual age specified in some cases. For example if a clone is born in 2000 but has been "programmed" to age at double speed, is he 10 (actual) or 20 (biological)? I don't think that Mileena is one of these cases though.

I imagine she'd be younger than KItana by ALOT. Cuz she wouldn't age the same way as Kitana an other Edenians do...

Well with cloning in modern science, they come out as a baby. It's not like you made a xerox copy.

Mileena was cloned by sorcery. She IS more like a xerox, she would have been born an adult at whatever age Kitana was at the time so she could pass for a twin. She might very well age faster than a normal Edenian though, due to her Tarkatan side. I imagine they, like most wild animals, don't have a very long lifespan.

Of course, "faster than a normal Edenian" might still be so slow you don't even notice. Like she'll live to be only 50,000 years old instead of 100,000 or something nuts like that.

Yeah, I suppose I did not take the sorcery aspect into account. Not sure what her age would be then. It's not very important, but it's interesting to think about (for me at least) because of the possibility of this in the real world in the future. I'm not too sure she could have a biological age if she was born fully matured. Her age would have to be how long she has actually been born.

Just one of those little questions that humanity is going to have to solve.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Um weren't Mileena and Kitana assassins together? I would assume that gives you your answer right there.
Also doesn't Jade know Mileena? They all have to be around the same age.

Actually that by itself wouldn't tell you anything. Just because they all worked together before MK2 doesn't mean they were all born on the same day, that doesn't really make sense.

Again, like I said, Mileena was created by Shang Tsung. And Shang Tsung is only ONE thousand years old, while Kitana is TEN thousand years old.

Do they ever explicitly mention Shang Tsung's age anywhere? 1,000 years seems a bit young by MK standards, especially for the supernatural villains. I like to think that the person running the MK tournament is older than the champion.

I'd always assumed that all of Shao Kahns female assassins had some similar training together. Of course there's nothing to imply that but nothing really goes against either.

Where does it say Shang Tsung is only 1000 years old? Also, you have to take into account that aging is different in the different realms, Edenians are descendants of the gods, so they age much much slower as we can tell since Kitana, Jade, and Tanya are like 10,000 years old and they look like theyre 20-25. Shao Khan and Sindel must be even older like 30,000 plus if Kitana was a baby when Shao Khan adopted her.
