ADVENTURE COMICS (vol. 1) #385(October, 1969). Cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson (Swanderson).

Superboy and Superman were always running into characters who claimed to be their older brother, so it only made sense to recycle that plot for Supergirl.

That...is a VERY stupid gimmick You're either asking Superman to come through the timestream to wreck you, or for your own era's superheroes to curb stomp your ass on principle Action Comics 385

Heroes Against Hunger - Various Writers

I was actually rather surprised by some of this. Finding out that Leo Dorfman wrote the Action Comics #363-365 "Leper from Krypton" arc, indicates he's actually been quite influential on Mark Waid, in my opinion. (And I definitely think that Cary Bates in particular influenced Grant Morrison. Bates' stuff ranges in quality a little, but the higher end stuff is fantastic.) I also didn't remember that it was Siegel who introduced Lena, and I was shocked to find out he co-wrote that mad Lex/Lois romance in earth-64.

And I didn't list every story, obviously. I just tracked down ones that were memorable to me for one reason or another.

And the show retired red tied up and down the coast and it's not true and it's not that bad and it's disappearing everyday yeah the current just going up there and it's taking it out there is some of it and it's nasty and these people getting sick again it is pretty bad out here it's off and on and miles yesterday there's almost none of it the people have to watch out and our son needs to watch out yeah

--it's particularly nasty on Sarasota on diffusion as a jet stream has to get up there and it's slowly working its way up right now the month is pushed out there the crabs are getting cramped finally it's around 385 or 485 and shrinking and the crabs are going to start moving East probably tomorrow night and they will start to move faster and faster every day for the first larger group will be tomorrow night we think there are about 120 mi offshore and by tomorrow night it should be 100 miles offshore and closer and closer and yeah that's why I should be the first grouping about 300 ft and smaller which is pretty big I'll open up five miles

Feeling Superman's crafts fairly soon those crabs will go across and big ones that are a mile and I'll start opening fast and not long from now maybe just days

--these people are mean and cruel and our son is thinking of beauty is taking a beating and. As that's going on the Obama of course but the above of course but he's healing and now it's going real fast and it's because Prilosec is getting wiped out it's a pretty good dose that is taking away. After this Kavern incident it's going to be a healing steadily

--Trump is sticking his head up and sticking his neck out saying crude and rude things and it's watching his duplicates and clan die. They're getting wiped out globally the process has not stops everyday is bad news and getting worse it is a percent it's about 0.2% a day and that's a lot and it's going up very soon very high and they have big groups that are staging that Northwest Midwest in the Northeast Midwest they want to try and attack our bases to the south of each case. They're building up still now it's pretty big so I know what to do.

First appearance of Eradicator.

[from Action Comics Annual (1987) #2]

[supermanshield]

so this beckons this question. how long can Clark live up to under a yellow sun? can Kryptonians die under a yellow sun?

Hi, thank you for your question! This turned out really long and rambly, sorry!

Ok so i might have said literally 100,000 (and up to 1,000,000) years old in that previous post but it's a little more complicated than that. In this arc (action #385-387) he travels forward through the time-stream but unfortunately also ages the amount of years he travelled (and he can't travel back). So, technically he is not 100,000 years old but just looks as if he were. (still pretty good looking for a fossil Clark).

That being said, you might take this as confirmation that he could grow 1 million years old, or at least pre-crisis Superman. And without death by kryptonite of course.

There are also (pre-crisis) stories where he ages quicker though. And post-crisis Superman beyond he has some wrinkles and grey temples when Bruce is already an old ass man.

putting the rest under a read more because of length

Superman Beyond #0:

Then there's Kingdom Come, in which he looks like this after 1000 years:

And recently we've seen in Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman that Clark becomes very old but not as old as Diana:

Here, he dies fighting Darkseid in the sun. So he maybe could have lived longer... but the sun was also dying, so that will complicate things for him. I believe the Future State timeline said this was 80,000 years into the future. (I still haven't read future state: house of kent but i think he's pretty dilfy in that one too).

There's also DC one million which I haven't read yet but is very high on my to read list. To my understanding Clark becomes a golden, lighting, god or something in the 853rd century. My god that's another one. in All-star he meets himself from the future (though he doesn't realise), from the year 4500.

So you've got some different options: does he age a bit slower but still end up like an old man in about a thousand years, or barely age at all and easily make it to 100,000 years, or does he simply live as long as our sun is a yellow sun?

It doesn't really matter. The universe is so richt and Superma's story won't ever really end (at least I hope because I want more comics).

Personally, I like when Clark ages very slowly and lives long after all his loved ones have died because of the angst potential.

So yeah, fave is definitely when he ages slowly, grows old and just keeps helping people and humanity and has lived a life that he can be content with and can be proud of newer heroes that have stepped up to fill his shoes... and now i'm thinking of the ending of Invincible. Like if Superman's story ever ends it should be similar to that in terms of overall feeling, obviously not exactly the same because Lois won't age like he does. The ending of Invincible is why the phrase 'what will you have in 500 years, mark?' still makes me cry. It's just so satisfying when comics actually have an ending and like I said we won't really ever get that for Superman, but it's also why stories like whatever happened to the man of tomorrow are so popular I think. But if Clark's story ever ends I hope it's like Invincible's ending (so mostly like the Kingdom Come one I guess haha).

Anyway, what do you like in terms of Clark's aging process and ability to (not) live forever?
