Contrast [[Secret Identity]] and [[Two Aliases, One Character]]. [[Legacy Character]] is a more-specific related trope, where the identity is passed on from person to person. [[Identity Impersonator]] is when a second person temporarily adopts the identity in order to have Secret Identity and Public Identity appear together. Also loosely related to [[Dead Person Impersonation]].

** Also utilized early in the second season. {{spoiler|1=When the Britannians wonder if this "new" Zero is the original, Lelouch gets them to say that anyone who wears the mask and carries the ideals IS Zero.

* ''[[Ghost in the Shell]] Stand Alone Complex''; the nature of a Stand Alone Complex permits like-minded individuals to independently function as an autonomous collective, as was the case with the Laughing Man and the Individual Eleven.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha AsA's]]'' has the masked [[Mysterious Protector]], who is revealed to be {{spoiler|the [[Catgirl|Lieze sisters]] using a disguise spell}}.

* ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' being [[Gambit Pileup]] setting, it's no wonder there were such cases as [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rl/20040707a team Xulla].
* In [[Warhammer 4000040,000]], many members of the Alpha Legion use the name of their Primarch, Alpharius, instead of their own. Some of them even undergo surgery and psychological indoctrination to more closely resemble him.
** In the Horus Heresy novel ''Legion'' Alpharius {{spoiler|was revealed to be one Primarch in twin bodies. His twin's name is Omegon.}}
