- "My entire life, I've hid behind these glasses. It's gotten in the way of every job I've ever had, everything I've ever wanted to do, every relationship, every friendship."
- —Kara Danvers to Lena Luthor on her experience wearing the glasses across her life.[src]
Kara Danvers wears a pair of lead-lined glasses to help her control her visual powers. They also conceal her identity. Kara gave up wearing the glasses after choosing to reveal her identity to the world.
History[]
Kara Danvers awakened in a panic, dreaming about the Battle at the Dawn of Time; as Alex called her name, Kara's glasses fell from her face and she almost hit her sister with a gaze of heat vision. Later, Kara wore her glasses and attended the 2020 Peace Prize Award Ceremony held for Lex Luthor.[1]
At the funerals of Oliver Queen[2] and Jeremiah Danvers,[3] Kara wore her glasses, concealing her identity from those who didn't know her other persona.[2]
Though William Dey works with Kara often as reporters at Catco Worldwide Media,[4] even dating her,[5] he doesn't recognize her as Supergirl when she wears her glasses, to the extent that he asked Supergirl about Kara's whereabouts.[6]
Kara wears her glasses even when she is alone in her apartment[7] or around people who already know that she is "Supergirl".[6]
To make themselves "unrecognizable", Querl Dox and Nia Nal wore eyeglasses before time travelling to 2009, as Brainy noticed the effect that Kara Danvers' glasses has.[8]
