“Not sure how in-depth to go with this bio, but I do see that superheroes can maintain a secret identity and be "closer" to telling the truth with a few tweaks here or there to the normal tropes. What I find interesting is that idea that if your identity is not secret, it becomes easier to co-opt the hero as working for a specific nation, cause, or entity. It's a bit of a double-edged sword: a secret identity works for an ethical hero who does the right thing, and no secret identity places accountability yet also creates pressure to conform.”
