Basic Trope: Two separate characters were revealed to be the same person.
- Straight: Alex and Emperor Evulz were the same person all along.
- Exaggerated: So is Lord Bad, C.C. Executive, Bob, Charlie...
- Downplayed: Alex Black and Alex White are revealed to be the same person.
- Justified:
- Alex did not want to let people know he's actually the Big Bad, so he created an alias called "Emperor Evulz".
- Alex has multiple personalities, each of whom seems to gain control of Alex's body at different times and without the knowledge of the other personalities.
- Inverted:
- Subverted: Alex and Emperor Evulz are two different people, and the former is The Starscream to the latter.
- Double Subverted: Alex kills Emperor Evulz and takes on his identity.
- Parodied: Every last one of the large cast turns out to be Alex, who is trying to entertain himself.
- Zig Zagged: The heroes unmask Emperor Evulz, only to discover that he was Alex all along. Except that's not actually Alex; it's a Voluntary Shapeshifter attempting to sew distrust between Alex and his friends... a shapeshifter hired by Emperor Evulz, AKA Alex, to give himself Plausible Deniability.
- Averted: No one has a secret identity.
- Enforced: "So far, our villain looks like something out of a really lame children's adventure story. Realistically, he should have a secret identity."
- Lampshaded: "There is no Emperor Evulz. It was me all along."
- Invoked: Alex invents an evil alter ego.
- Exploited: Someone talks trash about Emperor Evulz in front of Alex to expose how unusually nervous he is about the subject.
- Defied: Alex abandons his alter ego.
- Discussed: "I think Emperor Evulz is really Alex. They sure do sound alike."
- Conversed: "So all this time, Emperor Evulz was Alex? I should have known; they certainly looked like the same actor."
- Implied: Alex and Emperor Evulz have the same voice and are never seen together.
