Irredeemable #2: More backstory on the Plutonian
Mark Waid brings up one of the chief complaints people have about the way Superman's secret identity is handled (no, not the glasses), as he provides a little more backstory on the Plutonian, the man who went from the world's greatest hero to its worst villain.

	The Astro City pastiche, the Samaritan, does something similar. He wears glasses and he changes his hair color. It's dark blue as the Samaritan and white as 'Asa Martin.' (We do not have the Samaritan's real name.) Of course, the Samaritan never went "outhouse rat crazy." At least not yet. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alan Moore's "Kid Supreme" from his Supreme run does the same thing. As Kid Supreme he colors his white hair black and in his civilian ID he removes the color and puts on glasses. He stopped coloring his hair as an adult. The pre-Moore run of Supreme was retconned as Supreme acting crazy in a different universe. (Reply to this) (Parent)
