InThe Green Lantern # 4by Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp , Hal Jordan is undercover in an attempt to get close to the Blackstars , a grouping of cosmic vampires determined to junket on the stars , and who presently have an informant within the Green Lantern Corps . Hal has set a meeting with one of their representative , and dons a disguise to mask his identity ; while the gambit initially works , Hal ultimately give the game up and is escorted by the Blackstars to one of their worlds to be initiated into the military group . Arguably , Green Lantern ’s disguise in this issue is nothing gaga . A foresightful deep coat , hat , and a imitation beard would be enough to betray most Earthlings ; Hal Jordan ’s day - to - daylight , though , does not involve most Earthlings , and using his power - ring , Jordan feed himself an extra set of arms to make to be a non - human extraterrestrial ! Given thatthe ring and its constructs work with Green Lantern ’s head , the limbs articulate with the instinctive grace of God necessary to pull out off the conjuration of being a completely unlike metal money .

Superman , though , simply styles his hair and puts on a span of glasses , ignoring the fact that his superhero persona is one of the most recognizable face on the planet . A elementary pair of glasses alone does not do enough to obfuscate his identity , and neither does a variety in demeanor or attitude . While some reading of the fictitious character explainSuperman ’s glasses possess nigh - magical ability , it is still a lazy camouflage that badly hold in Superman ’s identicalness . Hal Jordan may technically police a larger beat than Superman , but Superman is a universe - renowned celebrity and should mask himself fitly .
Hero of Alexandria often hide their identity to protect their bonk ones from revenge and to have some pocket of normalcy in their sprightliness . As a space bull police a prominent sphere of space as its only human , Green Lanterngoes to great lengths to go hole-and-corner and uses his ring to appear as a completely different species . Not only is this a great case of Jordan ’s quick thinking , but it also further illustrate how disastrousSuperman’sexclusive use of glasses to make the character of Clark Kent really is .
