* ''Fanfic/SupermanHouseOfEl'': Notable in that Zara Zor-El[=/=]Keira Kent came up with her and Kal-El[=/=]Clark Kent's "disguises," less to lead dual identities as superheroes and more to conceal their nature as aliens. Glasses are an important part; both Kal and Kara have eyes described as a brilliant, unearthly blue, which the glasses dull to a more ordinary blue. Baggy clothes are also important, concealing Clark's HeroicBuild and Kara's MostCommonSuperpower. But the main key is acting, Clark and Keira playing up the dorky, awkward sides of their personality when in disguise. Diana gets in on it too, using glasses to hide her own startling blue eyes and somewhat conservative attire to downplay her incredible attractiveness.

* ''WebAnimation/ManiManiPeople'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4OkQhnI6JM Seiya]] tutors under the name Michi, and wears a suit and glasses and has combed hair in contrast to his look as a construction worker. While he tutored his sisters, they somehow didn't recognize him until the end of the video, when he accidentally showed up with unkempt hair.

* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''Film/KillBill'': When the Bride finally confronts Bill, he monologues about the nature of [[SecretIdentity secret identities]] in superhero comics. Bill points out that, whereas most heroes have to put on the costume to become their alter egos since Superman was born as the alien Kal-L, his alter ego is in fact Clark Kent. Bill theorizes that Clark Kent is Superman's critique of humanity, comparing him to the Bride trying to blend, in when she was really born to be a killer.

* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] at one point in ''Fanfic/SpiderNinja''. When Petra and Casey go to investigate the Daily Bugle, Mikey insists that she disguise herself further, and offers her a pair of fake glasses.
--> '''Mikey''': Every comic book I've ever read says that superheroes need to protect their identity in public. And the best way to do that is with fake glasses.
