Who Should Be the Next of Superman's Supporting Cast to Know Clark's Secret?

[Sacred Knight]

Jimmy's the easy answer but its also the best answer. Only problem with him finding out now in the current continuity structure, is that it will feel way too late to do it in my mind. In a continuity where Superman has a kid, Jimmy should have known a long time ago so he could've been an intricate part of the new family's life with no secrets necessary whatsoever. Again, to me.

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Lex Luthor. It would be really game changing if it were his mortal enemy to know his secret instead of the inoffensive Jimmy Olsen.

Lol. Its actually been done. Multiple times. Luthor either doesn't believe it or had the knowledge wiped from his memory.

[Embryonic Superman]

I really want to see John Henry and Clark become good friends, and eventually Clark tells him his secret.

Hasn't John Henry known for awhile? I thought he's been in on the secret since after his solo book ended, when he moved back to Metropolis and established Steelworks. Of course, the New 52 might have erased that, but most of Steel's original history has now been reinserted.

[Lois]

Yes it sure has! LOL
For someone claiming to be brilliant like Lex Luthor...he can be really stupid at times!

Yeah, I thought so too. I think he probably does still know, especially since he's still dating Lana Lang who is definitely in the know. Actually, when Lana was feeling bad in recent issues of her Superwoman series, I think he called Clark to come cheer her up, so yeah, he definitely still knows.

[Jon Clark]

Personally I'd prefer to go the opposite route and have Clark's ID become less well-known. Have Lois, Jon, Kara, Diana, Bruce and Dick Grayson as the extent of the people who know. No Lana, no Pete Ross, no Steel, no Damian, no other Leagers or Titans, ...

Basically the exact opposite route of every DCTV series where you can count the people who don't know on one hand. Why have a secret identity if you reveal it to every Tom, Dick and Harry?

Not 100% sure about that. The best part of the Superman mythos for me anyway is the fact that Lex Luthor doesn't know his secret.

On the other hand I find the idea of a Lex who nonchalantly knows and has never really seen it as something to exploit being an interesting twist,

They don't. They either reveal it to people who have a right to know or sometimes they find out on their own.

[Jon Clark]

They don't. They either reveal it to people who have a right to know or sometimes they find out on their own.

Barry Allen in costume on the show pretty much introduces himself by pulling back his cowl and giving his full name.

Oliver Queen has all but been outed as Green Arrow and before that had both his entire supporting cast and all his enemies knowing who was under the hood.

And except for Lena who on Suoergirl doesn't know that Kara Danvers is Supergirl.

Ok, wasn't aware if he knew enough or not. I'm glad he does.

Yeah no he doesn't.

Oliver Queen has all but been outed as Green Arrow and before that had both his entire supporting cast and all his enemies knowing who was under the hood.

Again, most of this happened against his will.

And except for Lena who on Suoergirl doesn't know that Kara Danvers is Supergirl.

You mean besides an entire city?

Again, they either tell people who have a right to know or they figure it out themselves.

[_Feely_]

I really miss a good ol' Secret Identity. No one has them anymore.

^ this isn't wrong.

[Sacred Knight]

It honestly doesn't bother me at all when the mythos evolves that those closest to him learn the secret. And Jimmy certainly fits the bill as being incredibly close to him. At least classically. But that's Superman's personal mythos I'm talking about. The DCU superhero community at large more often knowing than not? I agree that's sort of over the top now. Batman and Wonder Woman get a pass because out of the shared verse they have always been his closest friends beyond all others. They should know. But I'd be absolutely fine if the Justice League and the rest of the superhero community didn't know.

[Kirby Krackle]

I would love Bibbo to find out and just not believe it. Write it off as some trick or that he's losing his mind. He just loves Sooperman so much that it couldn't be any other way.

[Flash Gordon]

I'd love a larger supporting cast that DOESN'T know.
