History Main / KingIncognito

* In ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' #150, Rose Red dons a hooded cloak and wanders among her troops on the eve of the battle, in a scene that directly homages the same scene in ''Theatre/HenryV''.
* Princess Mari from ''ComicBook/FrozenBreakingBoundaries'' is first seen walking around the neighboring kingdom of Arendelle in a hood. Anna doesn't recognize her as royalty until later.
* For a few issues of ''ComicBook/IronMan'', Tony Stark decided he didn't want to be Iron Man any more so he gave away his fortune and went to Silicon Valley under the alias of ''Hogan Potts''. He worked as a normal grunt at a company. [[spoiler:He really didn't last that long.]]

* ''ComicBook/LegendsOfTheDeadEarth'': In ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'' Annual #2, the first storyteller claims that King Aquaman disguised himself as a peasant so that he could visit the city of New Phoenix and discover what its people thought of him.

* In one issue of ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'', Augustus Caesar disguises himself as a beggar to make plans that will not be overheard by the gods.
* One ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' comic has King Neptune go down to Bikini Bottom to grant one of the citizens a boon (his boon closet was overfilling). When one fish casually greets him, he disguises himself so he could blend in.
* In the ''ComicBook/WorldOfWarcraft'' comic, Lo'Gosh, an amnesiac human with uncanny fighting skills who was forced into being an [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orc]] [[GladiatorGames gladiator]], turns out to be [[spoiler: Varian Wrynn, the kidnapped and subsequently shipwrecked king of [[TheGoodKingdom Stormwind]]]].
* The ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'' arc ''Warrior Princess'' starts with the news that one of the Rogues is actually the lost heir of Eiattu IV, most of the rest of her family having been murdered in a revolution. Who is it? [[BoisterousBruiser Plourr Illo]], the butch, tempestuous mechanic-turned-pilot and last person in the galaxy any of the characters expected. She's a take on Anastasia and initially disguised herself to escape, then made herself into what she wanted to be, far from the self-serving decadence of the court, but is convinced to return and take her rightful place as the empress-apparent.

** Ista's [[CoughSnarkCough vaca-*ahem*]] pilgrimage in ''Paladin of Souls'' was taken using the surname of a distant cousin and most minor noble title available to avoid the entourage deemed fitting for the sister of a ruling Provincar[[note]]think 'Duke'[[/note]] and mother of Royina[[note]]think ''Queen''[[/note]] Iselle.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Strays}}'' [[http://www.straysonline.com/2011/05/page-171/ Turns out it's Prince Holland]].

--> '''Eirin:''' It was clear that Tewi wasn't just a normal youkai rabbit. All the earth rabbits listened to everything she said. Though there was nothing at all dignified in her appearance, the idea of her being able to control a great number of rabbits at will brings to mind the image of an ascetic who has achieved enlightenment.

** {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''[[VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]''; one of the playable characters is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} princess named Kotohime... who, in her campaign, tells the FinalBoss that she's an undercover cop (nevermind the fact that a princess is hardly inconspicuous).
