As an expert in comic book lore, I can tell you that Superman's age is a bit of a complex subject. Superman, also known as Kal-El, was born on the planet Krypton. His age in Earth years is typically calculated from the time he first arrived on Earth as a baby and was adopted by the Kent family. In the original comics, he was found by the Kents in 1938, which would make him around 80 years old in our current year, 2023. However, comic book characters often have sliding timelines and ages, and Superman's age can vary depending on the storyline or reboot.

In the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity, which was a major reboot of DC Comics, Superman's age was reset to be closer to 30 years old. More recent reboots, like the New 52 and Rebirth, have also played with his age, sometimes making him older or younger to fit the narrative.

So, while we can calculate a rough age based on his first appearance, it's important to remember that in the world of comic books, characters like Superman don't age in the same way as real people.
