The secret identity of Superman, the Man of Steel and one of the world’s greatest superheroes, has been revealed as Clark Kent, after the mild-mannered journalist unwisely swapped his trademark thick-rimmed glasses for contact lenses in order to ‘look a bit less geeky’.
Colleagues at the Daily Planet were reportedly stunned as Kent arrived for work bereft of his cunning disguise and trying to hide his features behind a newspaper. ‘It was suddenly obvious,’ stated fellow reporter Lois Lane, ‘I looked up from my morning coffee and there was Superman, doing the crossword at Clark’s desk!’ I don’t know why the citizens of Metropolis hadn’t noticed before to be honest.’
