Clark, 23, is ready for her second season in the league after a rookie campaign which took women’s basketball to new heights.

The superstar has become a household name in America and got the chance to sit next to Taylor Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game.

She is gearing up to return to the basketball court with the new WNBA season beginning in May.

Clark spoke to media this week as she turned her attentions back to the Indiana Fever.

And she did so while wearing glasses at the podium.

That led to people nicknaming her “Caitlin Clark Kent.”

The moniker is in reference to Clark Kent – Superman’s secret alter-ego.

One fan wrote on X, “I couldn’t resist a Caitlin Clark Kent gif.”

She has been referred to as that nickname before after superhuman performances in the WNBA.

But the 23-year-old superstar seemingly leaned into the new name this week

Clark’s Indiana Fever begin the season against the Chicago Sky on May 17.

The game will bring the latest chapter in her rivalry with Angel Reese which dates back to college

Clark recently went to an Indiana Pacers NBA game with her teammates

She also congratulated Philadelphia Eagles star Cooper DeJean after the Super Bowl.

The 23-year-old is a Kansas City Chiefs fan and was left devastated at the result in New Orleans, Louisiana.

But she reached out to the Eagles rookie, who went to the same Iowa college as her.

Former Iowa Hawkeye DeJean picked off Patrick Mahomes and ran it all the way back for a pick-six.

His stunning play gave the Eagles a 17-0 lead and set them on their way to a remarkable Super Bowl victory.

DeJean revealed on Up and Adams, “She sent me a nice message, congratulating me.

“That was nice of her being a Chiefs fan and all

“I think she’s probably the most exciting player to watch right now, men or women’s basketball.

“Just the way she plays the game, she can score, she can pass, she can do it all, she’s taking women’s basketball to new heights
