Answer:
Okay, so maybe Mr. Electro-Kite never said anything about Clark Kent's spectacles, but that's only because he died nearly 150 years before Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created Superman in Action Comics #1. Since then, everyone from comic book fans to hack stand-up comedians have pointed out that putting glasses on the most powerful superhero in the world isn't a superbly crafted camouflage.
Which, of course, makes comic book writers and artists' jobs that much more difficult. Sure, there's a level of fantasy involved in creating a Superman comic book. After all, there's no such thing as Krypton, superheroes, or a successful print newspaper. We accept those things are true when we read a comic; yet for some reason, Kal-El son of Jor-El donning thick-rimmed glasses and trying to pass himself off as a bumbling reporter is one step too far.
Same thing with Superman: you accept Clark Kent isn't the most powerful superhero in the world, because why would he be? He's just a regular guy. His glasses are the 10-percent change you need to accept Clark isn't Supes: he's just different enough.
