'''Basic Trope''': A character discovers they're not what they thought they were.
* '''Straight''': [[The Cape (trope)|Adele]] has been fighting invading aliens called [[Eldritch Abomination|Kschorkians - ]] only to discover that she is a [[Becoming the Mask|deluded]] Kschorkian [[Humanoid Abomination|in disguise.]]
* '''Exaggerated''': Not only is Adele a Kschorkian in disguise, but [[Flock of Wolves|so is every human on the Earth]].
** Adele is actually the [[Big Bad|Void King]] [[Amnesiac Dissonance|who has erased its memory]] [[Memory Gambit|and entered into the human society to undermine it from the inside.]]
* '''[[Up to Eleven]]''': The Kschorkians ''are'' the universe. Let that sink into your mind for awhile...
* '''Downplayed''': Adele discovers that she is actually a Kschorkian - and decides it doesn't matter, she's still going to [[Humanity Is Infectious|keep fighting for humanity.]]
** Adele had been told that she had links to Kschorkians, but she never thought about the possibility about her actually ''being'' a member of them.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Adele is implied to be a Kschorkian, and then it turns out she's not. But then it [[Retcon|turns out]] she faked the test, and she's actually a Kschorkian. And then it turns out that that was a ruse by [[Evil Counterpart|Bridgette]] to trick Adele. [[Armed with Canon|And then it turns out that]] Adele is indeed a Kschorkian, and Bridgette's ruse was unnecessary.
* '''Averted''': Adele is just a human, and there's never any question of her having been a Kschorkian.
Line 21:
* '''Invoked''': The group fighting Kschorkians performs a test on all members to see if any are secretly Kschorkians; especially the ones with dubious memories.
* '''Exploited''': An enemy of Adele's reveals she is a Kschorkian so that they have a chance to kill her while she goes into [[Heroic BSOD]].
* '''Defied''': Adele deliberately chooses never to test whether she's Kschorkian or human, because she doesn't want this to happen.
* '''Discussed''': "I think one of us is a Kschorkian and doesn't even know it!"
* '''Conversed''': "With all that's happened, I wouldn't be surprised if Adele was a Kschorkian."
