The “Master of Disguise” is a character who can slip in and out of costume at the drop of a hat, who is such an accomplished actor and makeup artist that no one can identify them until they reveal themselves. This trope is just about the “accomplished actor” part. When they want to, they can change their mannerisms, their voice, and every other non-physical aspect to seem like a completely different person. Usually done by evil characters, in a “Bitch in Sheep’s Clothing” sort of way. This is the kind of character that causes fans to cry, “Wait, is that even the same character?” A “Required Secondary Power” for most “Shapeshifters”. Otherwise, how could they pass as — for example — the President of the United States? Of course, much humor can be had if they don’t fall under this trope. A sub-trope of “Master of Disguise”. An in-universe version of “He Really Can Act”. Can overlap with “The Power of Acting”. Contrast “Perfect Disguise, Terrible Acting”, for when an impersonator doesn’t get this as a secondary power. ~ Master Actor – TV Tropes
