July 19 2024 - How Old is Superman?

 

Joe Biden is 81 years old.  That puts him in the great-grandfather age bracket.  

To be Superman - that would be somewhere between mid-20s and mid-30s.  And then there's the assertion that "seeing as he is essentially immortal, his age is practically irrelevant, anyway."   Add to that calculations such as:  A Kryptonian year is equal to 25 Earth years.  

"Clark was 25 years old in the final season of Smallville and about 32 years old in the final moments of the series. So, all told, Clark Kent is on average in his 30's just depending on when you catch him in the story. His current age of 38 (both in comics and on television) makes complete sense."

What is his life-span?
"Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman - Can vary living into his hundreds, thousands and beyond. General Zod - Would've been able to live well into his hundreds. Faora-Ul - Will be able to live well into her hundreds. Nam-Ek - Will be able to live well into his hundreds."

Is Superman the oldest superhero?  
He is the first. He first appeared in Action Comics, no. 1 in June 1938.  He has never reached 40 on the big screen.  In the first movie (1978) with Christopher Reeve, he was 30. The second movie, 3 years later, has him 33. In the next two movies, he stays in his mid-30s.  He returns in 2006 and is in his late 30s. "He still appears young in age though, due to his slowed-down aging."  In the next movie - Superman: Legacy -  he is going to be in his 20s, so maybe he has age-reversalism. 

Superman has been around for 86 years.  Could Joe Biden have been reading Superman comics and watching Superman movies and thinks he too is in his mid-30s?
