Glasses-Wearing Superheroes: It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, No, It’s Me, Wearing My Eyeglasses

geek hero

Eyeglasses wearers everywhere, unite! I am on a search for superheroes that wear glasses.

I’ve scoured the web (and my brain) and come up with a list of recognizable glasses-wearing superheroes (and supervillains . . . and some random people that I thought were cool). Be proud of your glasses as you bravely don one of . . .

My Top 14 Glasses-Friendly “Super” Costumes (in no particular order):

  1. Clark Kent (aka Superman)
  2. Diana Prince (aka Wonder Woman)
  3. Bruce Banner (aka The Hulk)
  4. Cyclops (aka Scott) from X-Men
  5. “Abe” Sapien from Hellboy (out of his tank)
  6. Velma from Scooby Doo
  7. Austin Powers
  8. A number of characters from the TV show “Heroes” (ex: Hiro, Mr. Bennet)
  9. Cousin “Itt” from The Addams Family
  10. Dwight Schrute from The Office
  11. Biclops from The Simpsons
  12. Pamela Lillian Isley (aka supervillain Poison Ivy)
  13. Harry Potter (had to mention him)
  14. Albus Dumbledore (he DOES wear spectacles!) and other HP adults
  15. Luna Lovegood (with her Spectrespecs on)

Now for a picture pop-quiz: Can you name them all?

So tell me . . . which superhero/person/thing are YOU going to be this Halloween? And what awesome glasses-wearers am I missing?
