Clark Kent's Glasses Really Do Mask His Identity... Kinda

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Lois Lane was forever the jilted woman because unknown to the public Superman had no use for a penis, in essence he was Superken. So the public, forever fixated on sex overlooked the fact that his glasses hid nothing..
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Washington, DC is what Chicago aspired to be in the 1920s.

All hail Daley!  Joke!

He jilted her for Lana Lang?!

But I thought that Jimmy Olson was to Superman what Robin was to Batman ;-)

[Unbeliever]

Yeah, Jimmy couldn't rely on his whistling ability, so SM made him a special watch.

Jimmy also sometimes dressed in drag, to get a scoop ;-))

Clark Kent's glasses might not mask his identity, but the feminine side of Jimmy Olson gets dates.

The essential problem DC had with Superman was that Superman was really bulked and Clark Kent wasn't...  Other characters were the same in reality and alter Egos, or changed with some SHAZAM phrase.  Or unexplained like the Hulk/Banner.

From what I read/saw Superman's ejaculate would go right through some poor earth female like she was impaled. Not too sure that would be a pleasant way to die.

Spider-man/Peter Parker has the same problem.





He must do an amazing job at covering up those rippling muscles.

Unrelated but..., Child star Tobey Mcguire just fell off the map, while his annoying loser nemesis costar, James Franko, is now making all the movies.  Several years ago, I was cruising the net when I was lured by one of those "Ten most and least personable stars in Hollywood" click bait advertising gimmicks.  I used to fall for that shit all the time, and still do once in a while.

Tobey was at the bottom of the list, rude, arrogant, and downright unlikeable in real life.  For what it's worth, Johnny Depp was at the very top, personable, chatty and sociable with fans.  I don't know if this has anything to do with longevity of acting careers or not, but that's my report.

Yeah.  In the original comics Peter Parker was a wimp.  He just had Spider-strength in his wimpy body.  He was the high school nerd.

That mattered.  Now he is just another musclebound pounder.

Yeah, I think they made Spidey supermuscled in the movies as a visual cue to the audience that he's very strong.  But the fact that he's strong, like most of his powerset, is supposed to be concealed - the villains (and the audience) know about it only after he does it.

Most villains wouldn't know what to make of Spidey in their first encounter.  Just some weirdo in red spandex.  Then he crawls up the wall.  You reach for your gun.  Bam, webbing to the face.  Where'd that come from?  You run to your car.  He lifts it off the ground.  Next thing you know, you're in the Brooklyn Detention Complex for a very, very long time.



Plus, Spidey is one of the few waify-looking male superheroes.

I remember when he faced Flash in a boxing ring and had to figure out how to knock him out with actually killing him.  It was a gentle "tap".

I had the book where Uncle Ben was killed and Spidey was juts a wrestler...
