Clark Kent
Clark Kent is the mild-mannered civilian identity of Superman in DC Comics—a bespectacled reporter whose unremarkable appearance conceals extraordinary powers.
The name has become shorthand for someone hiding remarkable abilities behind an ordinary facade: He's a real Clark Kent—quiet in meetings but a monster on the basketball court.
