Face Stealer: Difference between revisions

* Orlando, a minor demon from ''[[The Invisibles]]'' series skinned his victims' faces off and, pretending to be them, went on to kill their relatives.

* Everyman in ''[[Fifty Two]]'' needs to eat a part of something in order to turn into that shape. He mentions many nails and hairs when discussing combat shapes (And some of the shapes he uses [[Mind Screw|just for fun]]), but as time goes on [[I Am a Humanitarian|he begins to take more than he needs]] and take advantage of the [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|wide variety of meats]] available in the DC universe.

* Skulljacket was a one-shot villain from ''[[Spider-Man]]'', using former-Soviet technology. He mimicked appearance by means of holograms, but could copy enough of a person's memories for a better-quality impersonation by taking a small sample of flesh ([[Hand Wave|getting the memory info from RNA]]), usually leaving victims rubbing an aching neck. After taking on a police detective's semblance, he made a snide, mock-sympathetic remark implying that the memory absorption told him the detective's grown son was homosexual and dad was having trouble dealing with it. Skulljacket typically left those he mimicked alive, so they could take the fall for any crimes he committed wearing their appearance.

* The female Dire Wraiths introduced in ''[[ROM Spaceknight]]'' didn't need to kill, but by sucking out the target's brain would also gain access to their memories, making impersonation easier.

** Note that you get the mask by playing the [[Magic Music|Song of Healing]], implying that the mask-transformation process is in some way beneficial to the soul of the departed.

* In the N64/PSX ''[[Mission Impossible]]'' game, the Face Maker not only duplicates people's faces, but their clothing as well.

* The Spy in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', upon getting a [[Back Stab]] with the "Your Eternal Reward" knife, instantly disguises as the person he stabbed.
