Swapping her basketball jersey for a sharp new vibe at the Fever’s media day, the point guard rocked a pair of stylish frames that would make Superman himself do a double-take.
CLARK KENT IS IN THE BUILDING
Social media erupted as the WNBA’s biggest star took to the podium, with supporters instantly dubbing her “Caitlin Clark Kent.”
One stunned fan gasped: “This is Clark Kent! Good luck, kid!”
Another joked that the All-Star was ready to “leap defenses in a single bound,” while others praised the “gravitas” her fabulous new frames provided.
It’s not the first time the Iowa Hawkeye legend has been compared to the Man of Steel. Her “superheroic” feats on the court—including smashing records and pulling in TV ratings that rival the men’s game—have made her a real-life Wonder Woman to millions.
“There’s a Superman parody ad waiting to be made with Caitlin in those glasses,” one eagle-eyed follower pitched for next year’s Super Bowl.
FROM THE MATRIX TO THE MEZZANINE
It seems the $28million Nike girl is becoming quite the fashion chameleon.
While the “Clark Kent” look is the current favorite, fans haven’t forgotten her “Lady Morpheus” moment from last September, where she donned a trench coat and shades that looked straight out of The Matrix.
But when she isn’t busy being a sci-fi icon or a comic book hero, Caitlin is just like any other sports-mad fan.
The Fever sensation—a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs supporter since she was a “little kid”—was recently spotted sharing a high-profile hug with Taylor Swift in a luxury suite at a Chiefs game.
She even proved she’s a class act by reaching out to Philadelphia Eagles star Cooper DeJean to congratulate him after a win, despite him beating her beloved Chiefs.
DeJean admitted: “She sent me a nice message… that was nice of her, being a Chiefs fan and all.”
THE REMATCH OF THE CENTURY
However, the time for pleasantries is nearly over.
Caitlin is gearing up for her highly anticipated second season, which kicks off on May 17 with a grudge match for the ages.
The Fever will face off against the Chicago Sky, meaning Caitlin will once again go head-to-head with her “major rival” Angel Reese.
The rivalry has transformed women’s basketball into must-see TV, with Reese previously declaring: “The reason why we’re watching… is not just because of one person. It’s because of me too.”
POP STAR POWER
While the boys compare her to superheroes, her new teammates have a different celebrity in mind.
New Fever recruit Sophie Cunningham is ditching the comic books for the pop charts.
“I will be her Sabrina Carpenter any day to her Taylor Swift,” Sophie squealed. “I am so excited for this!”
Whether she’s the Man of Steel or the next Taylor Swift, one thing is for sure—with those “superpowered specs” on, Caitlin Clark has her sights set on a golden age for the WNBA.
The rest of the league better watch out. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry… or when she’s hitting three-pointers from the logo!
