What happens when your character with [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] begins to suffer [[Sanity Slippage]]?
 
You get a '''Shapeshifter Identity Crisis''', which is the sometimes non-lethal sibling to [[Shapeshifter Swan Song]], and the polar opposite of [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]].

== Western Animation ==
* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' Rogue already has mental instability problems due to her mutant copycat power generating copies of the minds and personalities of those she touches. After touching Mystique and acquiring her shapeshifting (and discovering the latter is a [[Magnificent Bastard]] manipulator) shapeshifts into various heroes and villains she's touched, in response to things said to her or people she encounters.
** In the original cartoon, when Morph first [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|returns from the dead]], he's in bad [[Split Personality|mental]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|shape]], and thinking of his "former" friends tends to result in him unconsciously taking their forms.
* ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]]'': Whitney Stane's Madame Mask mask becomes the vehicle for the same sort of shapeshifting switcheroo when the technology powering it gives her brain damage, resulting in [[Sanity Slippage]].
* In ''[[Mighty Orbots]]'', Bort suffers from this due to his lack of self-confidence and ongoing identity crisis.
