Time doesn't move at the same rate in comic books as it does in the real world. It tends to be in an ever-floating now, where most characters never actually get older.

Except, sometimes, they do. Especially teenage and child characters.

It doesn't happen at any consistent rate, and doesn't necessarily relate to how time passes for other characters. Though time-travel shenanigans can confuse how different various characters personal timelines are. But generally, no major character who isn't middle-aged or elderly to begin with, ages past the mid-30s unless there is a significant timeskip, or they're irrevocably linked to a specific real historical event (mostly WWII) - and even then time travel or other science fiction elements are often invoked to keep them from moving out of middle age - while younger characters can go from infants to tweens, or teenagers to young adults, before they stop. (And might age up again, later.) Middle-aged and elderly characters tend to stay there, or be subject to aging down (either through science fiction nonsense or simple retcon).

I get comic book time-logic, but that’s why OP’s complaints make even less sense. Time skips are everywhere in comics, once certain writers want to finally experiment with older versions of characters. So it’s not out of the ordinary at all that these two characters were aged up appropriately.
