Line 12:
[[Super-Powered Alter Ego]] is when this trope [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Split Personality]].
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Many, many [[Magical Girl]] series, including:
Line 66:
== Comic Books ==
* [[Shazam|Captain Marvel]], who debuted
* The other [[Captain Mar-Vell|Captain Marvel]] was one for awhile when he was bonded to Rick Jones.
* [[Blue Beetle]] (The first and third.)
Line 72:
** Iron Man fully qualifies with his latest suit, the "Bleeding Edge" armor, which is stored within Tony Stark's body and called out mentally at need.
* For a brief period in [[The Nineties]], [[Superman]] had both an Electric Superman and Clark Kent form.
* Recently{{when}}, [[Wonder Woman]] no longer has her powers when not transformed.
* [[Ghost Rider]] counts as this given that Johnny Blaze (and other riders) had a normal human form and a Spirit of Vengeance form.
** Somewhat amusing if you compare the most likely unintentional similarities to the [[Kamen Rider]] series. Both are [[Badass Biker|badass bikers]], both are usually lone heroes, both are henshin heroes, and both use the [[Phlebotinum Rebel|power of evil to fight for good]] (well, mostly the Showa Riders, in the latter case).
Line 88:
* The Linda Carter ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' series.
* [[Warrior of Love Rainbowman]] has no henshin device; instead he repeatedly chants "Anokutara Sanmyakusanbodai" (Supreme Correct Wisdom) to transform.
* BIMA Satria Garuda has Ray, who with the red Power Stone and the [[By the Power of Grayskull|changing command]] "Berubah!" (change) transforms into the eponymous hero.
* [[Madan Senki Ryukendo]]
* The [[Metal Heroes]] franchise.
* The Makai Knights of [[Garo]].
== Tabletop Games ==
Line 99 ⟶ 102:
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', Link collects masks which transform him into different forms that each have different abilities.
* ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]'', with wonderful catchphrases to go with it: "''Henshin a Go-Go, Baby!''" and "''Henshin Around!''". It just so happens that he only actually needs to say "Henshin". The rest of the catchphrase is just for fun. His [[Evil Counterpart]] gets his own, which is the stinger to this page.
* Red from ''[[
* Kouta Asuma from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' has ability to transform into Fighter Roar, he later join by his sister Shoko Azuma as Fighter Emmy.
* Geo and Sonia from ''[[Mega Man Star Force]]'', though they got their powers [[Touched by Vorlons|from aliens]].
Line 129 ⟶ 132:
* Bradley Biggle plays this trope straight to become ''Mint Berry Crunch'' in [[South Park]] episode Coon vs. Coon and friends. In fact, his transformation sequence gives nods to the [[Kamen Rider]] franchise and [[Sailor Moon]], both of which are very prominent Henshin Hero series.
* [[Danny Phantom]] qualifies as a Henshin Hero. Even though he has access to his powers while human, they aren't as potent until he transforms. Heck, he even has his own catchphrase.
* [[Freakazoid!]]
* Wonder Woman pulls it off in an episode of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' ("To Another Shore", specifically) as a homage to the aforementioned TV series starring Linda Carter.
* [[Super Duper Sumos]]: The sumos go through a [[Transformation Sequence]] to become "Sumo-Sized" and become even bigger and more powerful.
Line 135 ⟶ 138:
* In ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]],'' instead of a suitcase-suit, [[High School AU|teen Tony]] has it as a backpack. It only requires that the central button be pushed and it forms around him on its own without him having to do anything else, making for the most [[Toku]]-like version yet. Now all we need is [[By the Power of Greyskull|voice activation]].
* The eponymous ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''. Though some episodes shows that he ''can'' be a [[Badass]] in human form.
* Gizmoduck of ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' and ''[[Darkwing Duck]]''. Blatherin' Blatherskite!
* [[Super Ted]] transforms into his super-powered state by speaking the phrase [[By the Power of Greyskull|"I'll just say my]] [[Catch Phrase|secret magic word..."]] and then unzipping his fur to reveal a superhero costume underneath.
* [[W.I.T.C.H.]], though the main heroines can only transform with their leader around, who has the [[Transformation Trinket]].
