Throughout the history of superheroes secret Identities were a core
staple of the genre. Clark Kent and Superman, Bruce Wayne and Batman,
and Peter Parker and Spider-Man, but in today's modern superhero
landscape all that has fallen by the wayside. The MCU has effectively
done away with the concept of the 'secret identity'. So, now that that
core idea is being phased out... what does that mean for the genre as a whole? Will it survive another hundred years without this element? Only
time will tell.

Secret identities haven't gone anywhere, although they may have become
less mentioned / used in the stories. Batman is still Bruce Wayne and
does Bruce Wayne things, etc.
