 * In the original ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'', He-Man is basically Prince Adam with different clothes and... that's it. Same face, same haircut, same body, same VOICE. Likewise, Kringer becomes Battlecat by... putting some bronze armor on.
 ** Averted in one episode, where Kobra Khan disguises himself as a human: there is no resemblances at all, except in his speech... and Orko is still able to see through it.
+** Averted in the 2002 remake. He-Man has a ''very'' different build from Adam. Played straight in one episode where Cringer is able to get past Whiplash and Mer-Man guarding the entrance to Snake Mountain after Orko uses magic to turn his fur purple. While Cringer is much smaller and skinnier than Panthor, the two still assume its him and let him pass. Although, Whiplash does seem to notice a difference but figures Skeletor might just not be feeding him as much.
-** Averted in the 2002 remake. He-Man has a ''very'' different build from Adam.
 ** His sister has the same problem. Adora's disguise is nothing more than a costume-and-hairdo change, and unlike Adam, she makes no [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] act as Adora. Seeing as Adora used to work for the Horde, one gets the idea that Hordak isn't very smart.
-*** A subversion occurs in the [[Netflix]] remake; Adora fails the old [[Dressing as the Enemy]] routine because she has no poker face whatsoever.
+*** In the [[Netflix]] remake, this is averted, as Adora does not keep her identity secret; subverted in one episode where Adora fails the old [[Dressing as the Enemy]] routine because she has no poker face whatsoever.

 * In ''[[Miraculous Ladybug]]'', Marinette's domino mask does very little to hide her identity. As Cat Noir, Adrian puts a little more effort into it, his eyes turning green and cat-like while in costume, but still not much of a disguise. Despite Marinette's ''obsession'' over Adrian and Adrian's similar feelings for Ladybug, neither seems able to figure it out, despite always working as partners. Also true with [[Big Bad| Hawk Moth]] (most viewers figured out who he was before the "official" reveal) and villains like Lady Wifi whom the two heroes have problems identifying.
 * In ''[[The Owl House]]'' episode "Eclipse Lake", this is inverted twice over. Hunter tries to infiltrate Kikimora's project, and his disguise - a regular Emperor's Coven uniform - seems sound, having a full-head helmet. Unfortunately for him, Kikimora quickly recognizes his "whiny voice", as does Eda when he flees and runs into her.
