## The art of the disguise

In modern cinema and comic books it is an established trope that the hero must carefully protect their secret identity. There is no greater threat to the hero than those whom they hold special. Even the most ignoble grey-hat heroes would gladly go to their own end long before they could bear to see their loved ones hurt.

### A ridiculous circus-outfit
In the late 1980s and early 1990s on Nickelodean's evening programming block, Nick at Night, a behind-the-scenes bumper-style commercial was produced revealing that George Reeves' glasses are just frames without glass. The lenses caused reflection issues for the camera, so they shot the show without any.

With that in mind, the only thing separating Clark Kent from Superman is a pair of dark frames and the passionate ignorance of his closest friends. This has been a long-running joke in Superman history and has been parodied brilliantly through the years. Rather than approach it on the same terms, I'd like to briefly note some of the similar concepts present in the 50s television show before drawing some parallels to our own experience watching vintage television.
Superman's disguise as Clark Kent's is famously inverted from the typical alternate identity paradigm where the true identity is the everyday-Joe and the secret identity wears a mask and works outside the law. In the case of Superman he is first and foremost an alien on Earth possessed of abilities far beyond those of mortal men. His disguise, therefore, is that of Clark Kent rather than the other way around.

Clark was raised in Kansas by a pair of farmers. He went to school and learned to love. In many ways his early identity defined him as the everyday-Joe that he is today. A nurture over nature approach would suggest that Clark is the true identity.

There are no good answers, I fear. We cannot separate art from artist¹. We cannot separate the stains of a culture of time from the art it creates. But everything is not so cut and dry that we must burn all history to cleanse it of every evil. Maybe, after all this, someone will watch these shows and see this behavior and find inspiration to make a change for the better in our world today. Certainly ignoring racism in history isn't going to fix anything. But am I just justifying things so I can enjoy my cake and not feel guilty? I cannot be sure.

In 1938 a new hero burst forth into the imagination of children as they read Action Comics #1. Superman was a burly figure modeled after the strongmen and muscle-builders that fascinated Joe Shuster, his illustrator. In that nascent stage his powers were limited to super strength and some minor invulnerability. His personality was aggressive and he terrorized the criminals of Metropolist, even killing a few.

However we want to judge this approach (and especially what it did or didn't do for civil rights) we can paint Superman with the same brush. He is, after all, a pretty face painted on top of the American flag, for all the good and ill that brings with it.
