janegraySuperman Smashes the Klan is really, really good. So, I thought of posting the scene where Clark gets inspired to create a secret identity :)
I've read a bunch of "Superman origin" stories that show how Clark chose his costume, and I think this one is my favourite: I love the way it emphasises that posture, attitude and presentation DO change people's perception of your identity, to the point that paper-thin disguises actually do work (this is true btw, there is a famous anecdote of Marilyn Monroe pulling it off).
( And so I became a strongman. )
