#very aware

Sam: ...do I even want to know why you’re doing that?

Bucky: it’s mental health awareness month, sam. 

Sam: ...

When Kal El puts on the glasses, he’s not just donning a facial disguise, he adapts a sheepish, friendly personality. There are three pillars on which himboism stands: Kind, Dumb, and Ripped as Hell. A person can be in possession of two at a time and yet not be a himbo, it’s only when all three are present that the title can be awarded.

Thus, Superman is Not a Himbo. He’s Kind, sure:

And he’s Ripped As Hell (for Earth): 

But he’s clever. He understands coded signals from Batman, he wears a veneer of confidence in every situation, and although he rushes in, he also listens to reason. You could even argue that his headstrong determination that he’s the right man for the job is his greatest flaw; he doesn’t trust anybody else to take a hit. He has to be at the front of the fight, because he knows that whatever happens, he’ll be hurt the least.

However, when he becomes Clark Kent, he appears to remove his spine. No longer does he exude confidence and capability. Rather, he becomes skittish. As a part of this skittishness, he adopts a blithe naiveté. Oh Gee Lois! That criminal scheme I reported on yesterday got busted by ol’ Supes? Whatare the odds of that? He’s just some backwater kid from Smallville Kansas.

To the outside viewer, Mr. Kent has his heart in the right place, but he couldn’t hurt a fly. This is the real reason his disguise works: Superman is a phenomenal actor who understands that in order to remain concealed in plain sight, he has to change the energy he radiates.

This is B, she is an emotionally damaged mafia bodyguard with anger issues.
