The Fantastic Four have a secret identity but they never use it, Reed Richards is Mr Fantastic, Susan Richards is The Invisible Woman, Ben Grimm is The Thing, and Johnny Storm is The Human Torch. That goes in Public Secret Identity.

I'm more referring to having no secret identity at all. The Powerpuff Girls, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup become Liberty Bell, Harmony Bunny, and Mange in an episode which calls attention to the fact that they have no secret identity at all.

Captain America is public knowledge but you could perhaps consider Captain America to be Steve Rogers secret identity even though everyone knows who he is.

Bleach is another great example, like with Goku and the Z fighters, nobody would argue they're not super heroes but they certainly have no code name or anything.

It's perhaps splitting hairs but I wanted it kept separate from Public Secret Identity. I'm mostly curious what examples exist of super heroes (or villains) that just don't care to use a name other than their own.
