What is this? Most Definitely Not a Villain? Paper-Thin Disguise? Hugh Mann? Clark Kenting?

(Nice Stephen Colbert clip)

I would say Most Definitely Not a Villain. Johnny Cowboy (a ridiculous name for any American) uses False Reassurance, along with American stereotypes, to divert hacking concerns, and then he adds an ominous pro-Russian comment, calling Ohio "the new Ukraine."

I see Johnny Cowboy as a parody of The Mole. The other tropes you mentioned don't qualify. He (a human) pretends to be American, but has no disguise, as he still wears his Russian winter clothes.

Refuge in Audacity.
