It's as if Freddie Mercury played Superman.

The old glasses-as-disguise trick just isn't cutting it for Clark Kent anymore. The internet's decided that a nice, brawny mustache would do much better for good old Superman.

Inspiration for the latest Superman meme comes thanks to news that actor Henry Cavill's mustache will be digitally removed from his scenes in November's Justice League.

Cavill, who's doing re-shoots for his role as the Man of Steel, grew a 'stache a few months ago for his role in the upcoming Mission Impossible 6.

Superhombre and Superman seen together for the first time! I had the good fortune to visit the Art of DC - Dawn of the Superheroes' exhibition in Paris the other day. It was a fantastic opportunity to see the evolution of the most well known DC Superheroes. The incredible talent of some of the more prominent artists over the years is proudly on display along with the actual costumes from movies past and present. Without the great minds and talents of those creators, artists, inkers and filmmakers we would be missing a major part of today's modern pop culture. Thank you to them all! #ExpoDCParis #ArtLudique #DCComics #Superman

To save us from our disappointment, the internet has come to our rescue to show us what the Man of Steel would look like if he were the Man of 'Stache.
