* ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'' has elements of this in both the [[Hero Antagonist]], who looks like [[The Cape (trope)]] but is really an arrogant bully; and the [[Villain Protagonist]], who's trying to woo the girl of his dreams as Billy, but is also trying to [[Take Over the World]]. Both masks come off at the end, with tragic results.
** Both Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer actually have three layers to them. On the surface, Billy is just Billy, leading a normal life, trying to woo Penny, underneath that he's the power-hungry Dr. Horrible, but even deeper down he's just Billy. As Penny mentioned, she first thought Hammer was just a big jerk, but he became really sweet later on. However, he really is just a [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]].
* In [[Neopets]]: {{spoiler|Xandra in the "Faerie's Ruin" plot initially has a facade of a helpful and nerdy innocent appearance with anger issues (even using glasses to appear more innocent}} [http://images.neopets.com/faerieland/tfr_fa61c26562/conv/2_9815d2d41a.png pictured here]. However she is revealed to be a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] with a completely "machiavellian" and [[A God Am I|egomaniacal personality]] [http://www.drsloth.com/p/view/162912/ pictured here].
