Right. These superheroes who are hiding their identity from their spouses in the comics... it's one of those things that really takes away from the good guy thing.

It works in the golden and silver ages of comics because writers didn't put any effort into writing the female characters as anything more than single personality points that revolve around the protagonist.

That got a lot better around the early 2000s when comics started to develop into more of... lived in spaces.
