The Man of Steel. Kal-El. Clark Kent. Unless you\u2019ve been under a rock for the last pop culture century, then you probably know that all three of these names refer to the same heroic guy: <\/span>Superman.<\/span> For those of you that don\u2019t know what we\u2019re talking about (and shame on you if that\u2019s the case) <\/span>\u2014 <\/span>Clark Kent is the name of Superman\u2019s civilian alter ego, who works as a journalist at the fictional newspaper \u201cthe Daily Planet.\u201d To avoid bringing unneeded attention to his crime fighting shenanigans and phenomenal powers, Superman assumes the life of an average fellow whenever he\u2019s not saving the world. The key behind the disguise? A simple pair of what we call… Clark Kent glasses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Classic Clark Kent Glasses Style<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it came to eyewear style, everyday journalist Clark Kent preferred them low key but classy. Thus, rectangle frames became his accessory of choice. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what those \u00a0here\u2019s our list of look-alike frames. <\/span><\/p>\n

For a masculine and intelligent look, Clark Kent glasses like Pacific in Black match the profile spot on.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a deceptively bold style, look no further than Bristol in Black.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Importance of Clark Kent Glasses<\/span><\/h2>\n

So you might be wondering: \u201cWhat\u2019s so iconic about Superman\u2019s Clark Kent glasses? Shouldn\u2019t we be putting more interest on something less mundane, like the big symbol on his spandex-clad chest?\u201d Well, here\u2019s our answer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Clark Kent glasses are a crucial part of what makes our beloved hero who he is.<\/span> Think about it for a second. Before getting powers, Spiderman was simply Peter Parker. Likewise, Batman was just \u201cBruce Wayne\u201d before he started fighting crime. Before their lives as fighters of justice, most superheroes began as average people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Superman, on the other hand, is an otherworldly alien from the planet Krypton. Instead of adapting to life with super powers, Superman had to adapt to a life of (relative) normalcy. As a result, struggling with the concept of what it means to be a \u201caverage person\u201d is a big part of his emotional and psychological journey. Yes, while the iconic \u201cS\u201d emblem on his shirt represents his Krypton heritage, his Clark Kent glasses represent a different aspect of his life. They\u2019re how he relates to the world he defends, how he perceives humanity, and even how he relates to Lois Lane.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Going Beyond Clark Kent Glasses<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a jaded and cynical world, it\u2019s easy to forget that superheroes serve as a reminder that good people still exist. Contrary to popular opinion, you don\u2019t even have to be able to bench press buildings or melt things with your eyes to be a superhero! All you need is a little willpower and the desire to make life better for the people around you. <\/span><\/p>\n
