You reminding me of Mr Lomax today is an odd coincidence. Because today I got my first pair of glasses, a light correction but with heavy-ish frames, and I look a bit like this:

Lomax is a handsome guy, amiright?
I love that episode. Stylish - the circular lens motif is repeated throughout:

Stylish, yes, and frankly more intimidating than some over-blown character like, say, Thanos.

Pretty much all DC. Just saying.

It sounds, from the ending, like this was all happening in the same continuity, to the same criminals. Itâd be hard, under those circumstances, to include Marvel heroes.
Itâs be nice if she did a separate thread for Marvel heroes, though.

The DC heroes always have been hard to justify in terms of costume. The most popular ones, except for Batman, donât even wear masks â their âsecret identityâ depends on them never having to polish their eyeglasses in public.
Spider-Man at least makes a point of truly trying to hide his identity, while Captain America never tried to hide his (covert mission work notwithstanding).

And, at some point, youâre going to have to decide whether youâre discussing the MCU version of a Marvel character, or the comics version.
Which, from what I understand, isnât so much an issue with Cap or Spidey, but with Iron Man (is he publicly Tony Stark, or âTony Starkâs bodyguard?â) or Thor (is âDonald Blakeâ an actual alter-ego, or just a quick fake ID?), the idea of secret identity is much different on the screen, compared to on the page.
If youâre referring to who I think youâre referring to, I think that particular hero could see through their eyeglasses even if they got covered in black paint; I donât think âhaving to polish themâ would ever be an issue.

I was thinking of Wonder Woman, but yeah, him too. And although youâre totally right, heâd have to at least clean his glasses because his mild-mannered alter ego doesnât have X-ray vision.

UPDATE:
Upon further consideration, I have decided I now look more like a combination of Stan Freberg and Calvert DeForest.
That is all.
