Sorry for the delay replying, I missed that you'd commented.
I've gone with him being born some time in 2000, based on the chronology of Superman Returns, this is set in 2016 so he's 16 and thinking about going public as a superhero once he's 18. To complicate things his girlfriend is along for the ride - Sky Smith (adopted daughter of Sarah Jane Smith - Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures) who is another alien adoptee with electrical powers. Which is fortunate because I've now figured out how they got there, and there may be some opposition in need of zapping...
As you say, his early years are unlikely to come up - the origin of the name will.
