Collective Identity: Difference between revisions

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]].

* In an old [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] cartoon, ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoise_Beats_Hare Tortoise Beats Hare]'', Bugs is wondering how it could be possible for the Tortoise to beat the Hare in Aesop's fables. As [[The Other Wiki]] puts it, 'Bugs is left wondering if he's been tricked; then all ten turtles approach and reply, "Hmmm...eh, it's a possibility!"'

** [[Tex Avery]], director of the above, used the same gag for the Droopy cartoon ''[[Northwest Hounded Police]]''. And in the first [[Screwy Squirrel]] short, it is revealed at the end that there were two Screwys (and two dogs as well).

** And in "Ponyville Confidential", Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle work for the school's newspaper as its gossip columnist, "Gabby Gums".
