Can someone clear up the difference between these for me?

Hugh Mann is when a non-human Doppelgänger pretends to be the person he's replaced, no matter how bad his disguise is.

Most Definitely Not a Villain is when somebody repeatedly says "I'm not X" in order to pretend to be not X, not even bothering with a disguise.
