Some folks will age at a greatly reduced rate, having been active in WWII and still active today while looking only 20-30 years older (these will always have gray/silver hair, either fully gray/silver or just at the temples). Others seemingly have stopped aging altogether. Once they retire, however, they resume aging at a normal rate. Coming out of retirement - or even just entering semi-retirement by acting in a supporting role to another super - restores the reduced aging factor.

Choosing whether or not to fully retire, or once retired, whether or not to come back, would be a
much bigger thing on that world, then. Could be very interesting, culturally, since that will be noticed.
