Not that!, We all know about Clark Kent and the glasses . Kal- El is actually meek. Meek as in humble, patient, gentle, kind, gracious, forbearing and calm.
He is not a brooding and simmering dark night. He is not an angry and acting out 10 foot tall Green Monster. He does not leave his enemies tied up with notes referring to himself as a " Friendly Neighborhood" anything and he doesn't leave scars on his opponents with Adamantium Claws.
He is known as THE Most Powerful of All The Heroes. Yet, He is also a consummate friend, and teamate and mentor. He is also the one who refers to other heroes by their first names when identity maintanance is not a vital need of the moment.
He knows how to bring just the amount of power that is needed to any given crisis. He also sees the individual merits of even his most intractable foes. Lex Luthor loathes Superman. Kal- El rarely thinks of Luthor in such terms. He considers the waste of Luthor's overwhelming intelligence and abilities to be a true tragedy.
He is my favorite hero and I do believe his meekness factors into why I hold him in lofty esteem. What other hero would find humor and actually enjoy being called " The World's Biggest Boy Scout" - only Kal - El of Krypton could would and does.
