Accelerated Aging

Characters who age faster than is typical for a person of their species, with a consequentially shorter lifespan. This is often a side-effect of their powers, the result of an illness or a genetic condition. Clones and speedsters are particularly prone to rapid aging.

This does not include people whose development was deliberately accelerated up to a specific point of maturity and then allowed to continue as normal such as Superboy.
