The most obvious would be Supeman's glasses. Who else has a ridiculous secret identity/disguise?

Diana Prince. Secret agent. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Jean Grey : What makes you such a bitch, Emma?
Emma Frost : Breeding, darling. Top class breeding.
Power Girl and Black Carnay. It used to be okay with Canary with her just wearing a blond wig, but then she dye it blond. So much for being secret.

We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

And it worked over television.
Anyway, Green Arrow with Van Dyke has always seemed to be a pretty big mouthful to swallow. Then there's Donna Troy, who never wore a mask, it's just that nobody took that many pictures of her as Wonder Girl so when she ran into people as Donna Troy they didn't recognize her. Not very realistic in today's TMZ society.
With Wonder Woman, I always thought she needed a gods-given ability to disguise herself (or rather, to have the glasses work better than they should). It could be Aphrodite giving her the ability to "hide her beauty" or Hestia (goddess of home and hearth) giving her the ability so that she could have a "home" to go to when she wanted to.
It doesn't matter what the writer, artist, or editor had in mind when they created it, or what they said in an interview;
all that matters is what is on the page.
To me, they're only ridiculous when inconsistant. If a mask or glasses is the only thing you say that stands between them and their identity, and no one figures it out, I'll but into it. But when people figure it out left and right, it ceases to be something I can support. Daredevil and Spider-man are have the worst secret identities. I feel like batman is a close second, we'll see where Death of the Family takes us. I never thought the writers gave away superman's secret identity that much, but i haven't read anything since the new 52 of his.

I wonder who this is.
On the flip side, I read a story once where Barbara Gordon's brother met Batgirl and immediately knew it was his sister, because he says it would take more than a mask for him not to know his sister. This is in the same world where Clark's glasses work, and this was after a long time when Commissioner Gordon didn't recognize his own daughter as Batgirl. But somehow, this one guy had no problem. Bad story.

For a very brief time Aquaman had a human secret identity named C.King. Yep, C.King. And people thought Superman's secret identity was poorly hidden.
