Likely a rhetorical question, but I’m inclined to say Silver. For a couple of concrete reasons - the general rocketry vibe primary among them. But mostly because ages are defined in retrospect largely by outside observers, and in the case of comics, how a character is used by the following generations of creators can go a long way toward retroactively cementing classification. J’Onn’s been used as a signifier/mascot of that era in a few major projects from DC, which seems to indicate that thinking exists on an editorial level as well.
