History Main / MasterOfDisguise

** His predecessor happens to be one Mr. Fix from WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays whose disguises can fool Phileas Fogg's companion Passepartout.

** ''ComicBook/TheWarlordDC'': Using the Apokoliptan technology supplied to her by Desaad, the assassin Y'Smalla could create flawless disguises.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman''

** This is taken to RealityWarper-esque levels, as not only can the disguises include impossible but genuine details, such as human family members, but, as shown in "Steve, Snot, and the Quest for the Og 4Loko", they can cause ''anyone'' who wears them to appear to ''be'' that persona to everyone (including people who know them, except Roger himself), but to ''show up on camera as the character'' (e.g. Steve appearing on CCTV as a middle-aged Japanese man).

* ''VideoGame/MissionImpossibleKonami'': Matching his specialty in the show, Nicholas Black's special tool is a limited supply of disguises. While they only last a few seconds, enemies on patrol will ignore you if you walk in front of them. Alerted enemies will not be fooled (Though enemies set to constantly attack will stop attacking), and neither will electronic surveillance, like cameras or laser tripwires.

** Decoy Octopus is quite possibly the most detail-obsessed Master of Disguise ever, being able to flawlessly mimic a person's speech and mannerisms, and either ingesting or injecting himself with the '''blood''' of the person he's imitating. But he's unable to fool [[spoiler: The FOXDIE pathogen]], which kills him.

** The ComicBook/BlackWidow being a trained espionage agent has this as one of her skills.
** The Scourge of the Underworld, a collective group of assassins trained to eliminate supervillains, each is one, and through a combination of makeup and LatexPerfection can impersonate nearly anyone to get close to a target. It's this and their efficiency that has left the Scourge as TheDreaded for many villains.

** In the earlier ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' stories, Jimmy Olsen could disguise himself so well that Perry, Lois, and even Superman had trouble recognizing him.

* Diabolik and his partner Eva Kant from the Italian comic ''ComicBook/{{Diabolik}}''. The only way to unmask them is to pinch their faces to check for LatexPerfection... And even that has failed on occasions due to them being particularly creative or simply opting for WigDressAccent (this happens so rarely that the police [[DidntSeeThatComing never sees it coming]]).

*** One and Two, at least through video screens and holograms. {{Justified}} because they're both incredibly powerful {{Artificial Intelligence}}s, so it's easy game for them to make up an incredibly realistic image.

* ''Comicbook/TheSpirit'': his arch-nemesis The Octopus is an accomplished Master of Disguise. As he is also TheFaceless, the only clue the reader has to his identity at any time is when his hands are visible; he always wears purple gloves with three yellow stripes appliqued onto the back. It has been established that he has the same height, weight, and general build as the Spirit, so he frequently chooses to impersonate the Spirit in order to implicate him or to confound the cops into shooting at the wrong guy.
* Lord Shilling, the British spy who was the ArchEnemy of ''ComicBook/{{Tomahawk}}'', was a master of disguise.
* The ComicBook/UnknownSoldier uses latex face masks to perfection.

* In ''ComicBook/RawhideKid'' #49, Rawhide battles a villain known as the Masquerader. As no one had ever seen his true face he was able to easily disguise himself so no one would guess that he was a gunfighter. He was even able to disguise himself as people of different ethnicities, such as a Chinaman and Mexican. He even impersonated ComicBook/KidColt in order to put the two gunslingers at each other's throats.

* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': Big M. and Little M. frequently take on a number of {{paper thin disguise}}s - from salesmen to a mother and child to ''Manga/SailorMoon''[[note]]or rather, a lookalike of her[[/note]] of all people in Big M.'s case - to perpetrate their evil plans, and they have a tendency to work, convincing even the Supermen.

** Mr. Fantastic, of the ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'', has infrequently used his stretching powers to assume a different face. His wife [[ComicBook/InvisibleWoman Sue]] has recently learned that her invisibility powers are simply the ability to manipulate light waves and thus she can use this to change her appearance.

*** The Chameleon. He wears exquisitely made latex masks, is a skilled mimic, and his own mask is equipped with voice changer software. For a time, the Chameleon also used a holographic belt that could instantly create an image of whoever he wanted to pose as. Chameleon is also astounding at being able to imitate someone. When he poses as Tigra, ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' member Finesse (who prides herself on knowing a person through their fighting moves) is in denial Chameleon could duplicate Tigra's micro-expressions enough to fool her.
---->'''Chameleon''': Well...that's why I'm a professional.
*** Aside from his robotics and special effects skills, ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} is also an expert at passing himself off as an ordinary person. He used the alias of "Ludwig Rinehart" both in a plot to drive Spider-Man crazy and then as the malevolent manager of a retirement home, and in ''The Amazing Mary Jane'' disguised himself as a PrimaDonnaDirector to secure funding to make a movie about himself.
** ''Comicbook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{Mystique}}'s a shapeshifter and is quite comfortable as either a man or a woman. On the other hand, she has more difficulty maintaining a shape that is different in mass than herself. For example, when she spent a few years pretending to be a Governor's wife, using the name Mallory Brickman, part of her disguise was that she was about twice her normal weight. Since she was going to have to maintain this image for a very long time, she gained weight, to bring her own mass up to the same amount as "Mallory".

-Envy is an example of this. Oftentimes he will disguise himself as various members of the army to get to places that he otherwise could not go. He also uses his power of shapeshifting to confuse people and take advantage of them. He used this tactic when [[spoiler:he kills Hughes by disguising as Ross and Gracia]]. In the manga and in ''Brotherhood'', he constantly uses this power to [[spoiler:keep his monstrous true form hidden]] and in the original anime to hide [[spoiler:his identity as Ed and Al's eldest brother.]].
-General Grumman disguises himself as an elderly woman for a covert meeting with Colonel Mustang. He is able to successfully flirt with Mustang for a few lines until he catches on and even the dangerously shrewd Kimbley only goes as far as to see "her" as suspicious.
