Superhero without secret identity?

[Spin-Out]

every day i have to wake up in a world where benadryl cabbagepatch played dr. strange but vincent price was never able to

 

[Axaday]

Another non-metahuman who gets superpowers and immediately steps out of their normal life into an all superbusiness, all the time lifestyle is the other doctor, Doctor Strange. He just stops practicing medicine and starts practicing wizardry instead. I mean even his superhero name is just his what everyone already called him previously with a slightly different inflection. The wizarding world is his Themyscira, Atlantis, or Asgard, so he's keeping a lot of secrets about that from people not initiated, and he keeps one close friendship across the jump, but it's hard to get any more "no secret identity" than a guy who literally just uses his own regular ass name on the Avengers roster. Like his movie wasn't just called "Stephen" but it totally could have been.

Yeah. Strange doesn't feel like what I had in mind, but he's a pretty good fit for how I described it.

Oh come now, Cumberbatch is a funny meme man because the first thing the internet saw him on was both popular and terrible, but he's a good fit for Strange and it's not like he's actually a bad actor. And if you want monumentally, cosmically bad casting, he's got one of those roles too and it's not the Marvel one.

Mostly, there was a comic a few years ago where he started taking up surgeries again while not dealing with the mystic stuff. Didn't last long, but I felt it was interesting seeing him trying his old profession while also balancing his duties as Sorcerer Supreme.

Superboy was this for a few years (throughout his original comic run, when he was living in Hawaii and when he moved back to Metropolis). He only started using the Conner Kent identity after Clark sent him to Smallville (at which time he didn't have his own comic and was mostly appearing in team books), and we never actually saw him being a civillian until after his resurrection (in his Adventure Comics run just before Flashpoint).

And Red Tornado did have a human-passing android body for a while in the 90s Young Justice comics; he even had a girlfriend/fiancée/wife and a stepdaughter.

Ah, gotcha! In my case I've only seen the Young Justice cartoon version (of either of them to be honest.)
