They cross each other all the time. The Avengers is an example of one book where it's happened.
Nick Fury, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Mockingbird, and others have all been examples of secret agents (especially black widow). Then at the same time, you have Thor (who has his human/god forms), Iron Man, Hulk, and other superheroes who have distinct super/muggle identities.
I'm pretty sure there were some Gao Gai Gar prequel novels or something that had the same basic idea, too, most notably with pre-GGG Taiga running around in a power rangers-esque suit beating terrorists with a golf club.
...I think they were novels, anyways.
This is going to be so much fun.
I mean the Henshin Hero themselves being the secret agent, like their suit being their "job uniform".
I guess Iron Man would count?
Two different tropes haven't crossed each other... have they?
I already have that idea (albeit not yet troped) of having a secret agency of sorts having certain agents (main character simply being called Agent Panther) allowing to "suit up" in their missions, but that's just it. I'm not too entirely fond of the secret agent stuff save for the James Bond and certain others like Johnny English and Get Smart.
Also I realized that Secret Agent is not a trope.
