== Comic Books ==
 
* The [[Marvel Comics]] character [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge_of_the_underworld:Scourge of the underworld|The Scourge of the Underworld]] was an entire conspiracy collectively posing as a single vigilante killer.
* Scrier, a player in the [[Spider Man|Spider-Man]] Clone Saga turned out to be played by an entire mystical cult.
* ''[[The Shadow]]'' first takes on the identity of Lamont Cranston when he is out of the country, but when the real Lamont turns up, he and the Shadow both use his identity, allowing the Shadow to be seen in one place and Lamont in another.
Line 60:
== Professional Wrestling ==
 
* The Bella twins started in the WWE as just Brie Bella, who would be losing a match, then duck under the ring where her twin sister Nicole [[Twin Switch|would be waiting to beat down the heel and take the victory as Brie]]. Strangely enough (or maybe not because...it's [[Professional Wrestling]]) they were treated as a [[Face]] not a [[Heel]] even though they were obviously cheating. Once they were "outed" as being really two people they became [[Tag -Team Twins]].

Line 87:
== Western Animation ==
 
* In the ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' spin-off movie ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_of_the_Batwoman:Mystery of the Batwoman|Mystery Of The Batwoman]]'', {{spoiler|the title character}} is actually three different people.
** During "Almost Got 'Im", the villains swap their ideas about who Batman really is while playing poker. This is Two-Face's suggestion.
{{quote| '''Two-Face:''' The way I figure it, Gordon's got a bunch of them stashed someplace, like a SWAT team. He wants you think it's one guy, but...<br />
'''Joker:''' Oh, you're always seeing double. }}
* In an old [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] cartoon, ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoise_Beats_Hare: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).
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': {{spoiler|In "The Mysterious Mare Do-Well", the eponymous mare is in fact actually four different mares. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and (briefly) Fluttershy.}}
Line 103:
* They call themselves [[Image Boards|Anonymous.]] They are hackers on steroids, treating the web like a real-life video game. Sacking websites, invading [[My Space]] accounts, disrupting innocent people’s lives - and if you fight back, watch out.
** *[[You Can Panic Now|van explodes]]*
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki:Nicolas Bourbaki|Nicolas Bourbaki]], the greatest French mathematician who never existed.
* Occasionally, the inker for a comic will be listed as M. Hands or a variant. This is a shorthand for "Many Hands", used when multiple inkers are required for a rush-job and none of them want the credit.
* ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' is the work of Grant Naylor - that is, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.
