5 Philosophical Questions For The Man of Steel. 

(2 of 5) Why Does Superman Lie To Protect His Secret Identity?

Every hero faces an identity crisis. Some choose to tell the world while others choose the side of protecting the ones they love in case a villain uses this against them. 

The difference with Superman is that he never hides his face. His secret identity is Clark Kent, not Superman. Very few people know his small town roots or his adopted parents, and hiding his secret identity has never stopped villains from using hostages since that is one of Superman's only weaknesses anyway.

Could there be deeper issues?
