Speaking of ...

As a kid reading comics, I had some issues with how some of the super heroes hid who they really were. I mean, can you really not tell Clark Kent is Superman wearing glasses? Really? You can't? C'mon!


Top Four 'See Thru' Alter Egos

1) Clark Kent - Ok, so Superman hides his identity behind a pair (but, not a pear, which would be more interesting) of spectacles and no one can figure out why when the shiznit hits and he's saving, like, the planet and stuff, mild mannered Clark is never around. Nice reporting, pal.
2) Britt Reid - Ok, Britt has an Asian valet that goes with him everywhere. The Green Hornet has a martial arts master always saving his bacon. Hmm, yet, no one can put two and two together? Brother.
3) Diana Prince - Yes, lets hide a six foot amazon behind a really large pair of glasses. Hey, it works for Supes! Oh, this is Wonder Woman for the uninitiated.
4) Robert Bruce Banner - Yeah, a little hard to keep your identity a secret if you're gonna smash entire cities because the guy driving in front of you cut you off (Hulk).

On the flip side, there were these guys who had water tight alibi's.

Top Five Best Hidden Heroes
1) Matt Murdoc - Blind attorney is really Dare Devil, the Man without Fear
2) Dr. Donald Blake - Donald is a little 160 lb guy with a bum leg and a walking stick, but when trouble arises a tap of that stick and now he's a 6'5 250 lb Norse God of Thunder (Thor).
3) Peter Parker - The wall crawler Spiderman is a kid in HS? Whoa.
4) tie Bruce Wayne / Tony Stark - Both rich playboys by day and crime fighting dynamos by night... or maybe they are playboys at night? Batman and Iron Man, respectively
