Remind me why Superheroes need secret identities again? I can

I've never encountered any media of Superman, but it would make sense for him to want to be a part of something like the human race and have a sort of "family" with them since his own doesn't exist. It's like the opposite of the "special snowflake" desire.

>do stuff you can't do as a superhero
like write newspaper articles?

This is such a simple concept that I think you'd have to be clinically retarded to be asking this question.

>To blend in with regular folks
>To not be treated differently by the populace with them knowing they could be lobotomized by eye lasers.
>To protect friends and loved ones from villains
>To have a fucking normal life

>but there is no real reason Superman needs to be Clark Kent.

OH SHIT, HE TOOK OUR (YOU)S

In most canon versions of Superman, he has an adopted mother and father, he has a cousin, a clone he thinks of as a younger brother, he has either a girlfriend or wife in Lois, previous girlfriends and childhood friends, as well as work friends and co-worker/acquaintance level relationships.
