Superman Question

Superman can see through anything but lead. But when he's in Clark Kent mode and something goes down and he uses his X-Ray vision, he always scooches his glasses down to the end of his nose. This is fairly universal in every incarnation of the Superman mythos. So ... uhhh ... how come?

Thank you for indulging me in this diversion from my normal day.

    First of all, let me just say that this is an awesome question.

    Second of all, I think it's simply because the glasses mess up his vision. If you were wearing prescription glasses and don't need them, they make everything blurry. He wears them like that because he's trying to play the role of clumsy Clark Kent. Of course Superman has perfect vision without glasses, so he has to scooch them down to see correctly with his x-ray vision. Hope this helps!

    Sorry, big nerd here. I had a HUGE crush on Superm- I mean, Christopher Reeve when I was a little girl. :flowerforyou:

    Me too! I must have seen the first three Superman movies 2 dozen times each. Also don't get me started on Dean Cain as Superman. :)
