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.

While Alana is overreacting just a tad, I think this is a classic example of 'where NOT to reveal your secrets to somebody'. This is why one generally does the 'I have something important to tell you' thing someplace PRIVATE, so that if there are complications in the conversation, they're not then broadcasted all over the place (literally, in this case). Don't do it at WORK, just a few doors down from where all your coworkers are. Yeesh!
That being said, this is a convincingly horrifying scene. It does a pretty good job of communicating how such a situation could spiral wildly out of control in just a few seconds, and all your secrets could be laid bare. That face the Plutonian makes - it sums things up perfectly. I think I actually cringed a bit in sympathy.
