Many superheroes have secret personal identity that they keep freestanding from their superhero life . Most can hide it relatively easily . Bruce Wayne hide behind a mask while he ’s Batman , and Peter Parker follows a standardised route when he ’s Spider - Man . However , Superman ’s secret indistinguishability is more tortuous . He does n’t wear a mask when he ’s Superman , so it should be easier for the people of Metropolis to know who he is .
However , when he is Clark Kent , he puts on a duet of glasses , changes his haircloth a petty , and suddenly , he ’s a different someone . The character is often mocked for this individuality , as it should be easy for mass to say that Clark Kent and Superman are the same person . set up on chalk does n’t make someone unrecognisable to people who bonk them .
