American Alien got me thinking: What age do you think is most appropriate for Superman to first develop powers? And are there any of his powers you would trust him with from day one? My argument is that he should have some from day one if for no other reason than to learn to control them. Strength for instance. Especially if he is supposed to be so much stronger than everyone else around him. What parent doesn't want their child to be invulnerable? But one could argue that's just an extension of his strength. Flight also seems like one you have to learn to control. Though no parent wants their kid flying off whenever he likes. I wouldn't trust a toddler with heat vision under any circumstances though. I also must confess a bit of personal bias here. My favorite version of Superman is the old Ruby Spears cartoon with the Family Album segments at the end showing a young Clark with all of his powers from day one. But that's just a personal preference. Even I don't know that I would go THAT far. What ages do you think it would be appropriate for him to develop each power?
