[Comics] Given the technology of facial recognition and DNA analysis, could a working superhero maintain a secret identity?

No. First, their height and weight could easily be recognized. Furthermore, their voice could be recorded and weighed against other media. Third, there is psychological profiling used to narrow down serial killers that would identify them. Fourth, law enforcement could "map" sitings and recordings of them as they travel from their home to crime scenes. If Spiderman is always seen on Elm Street on the way to a crime, then seen again on Elm Street coming back from the crime, then the police are going to figure out that he lives near Elm. Then, there is stuff that you mentioned, like DNA and facial analysis. DNA might be hard to get ahold of, and the facial analysis could be partially thrown if the hero were wearing a full mask, but someone like Superman would have no chance.
