General clarification on work content


*** In the ''Comicbook/BillyBatsonAndTheMagicOfShazam'' series, Mary has no excuse--she uses the "Mary Marvel" name and is a little girl in both forms. [[spoiler:At least until near the end of the series, when she also gets an OlderAlterEgo.]]

* Comicbook/{{Vixen}} from the ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]]'' is another maskless DC hero, although the rest of her costume [[NavelDeepNeckline may be enough of a distraction]] - or maybe she just has a public ID, since she's a supermodel in her civilian identity. While Vixen did wear a mask at the beginning of her career, her identity is definitely public knowledge by now. In Creator/GrantMorrison's ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' run, she showed up at the title hero's house in-costume, and Animal Man's wife was shown {{Fangirl}}ing over the fact that a popular supermodel was in her living room.

* ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'' has the Witching Cloak which can disguise the wearer in many ways and means. The Big Bad knows this and instructs his soldiers to question anyone with a funny backstory. A new soldier's transfer story is torn apart and he is slain. The wearer of the Witching Cloak had been a cleaning lady all along.

* Perhaps the most over-the-top parody of this trope ever can be found in ''{{Elseworlds}} 80 Page Giant''. It features a title page from a fictional Silver Age story where Batman's secret identity is Adam, as in "Garden of Eden" Adam. Despite the fact that he is the ''only man in the world'', Eve still can't figure out that Batman and Adam are the same person.

Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/{{Incandescence}}'': Audrey doesn't bother too much with her disguise, merely styling her hair differently and wearing a costume. Her new boss Al seems to be hinting that he knows what she's up to, though...
