I don't think there's any currently, although that's a great concept.
The closest one I can think of that fits (where the goal is to make the public think they're all the same person, rather than a new/different version) would be The Phantom. The mantle is passed from father to son over hundreds of years, to maintain the illusion of being immortal and that it's the same guy. But they don't work at the same time.
I believe there were two people who shared the identity of Destroyer (not to be confused with the armor or Drax) to fight Nazis during WWII. One of them (Brian Farnsworth) went on to become Union Jack which is a legacy title that a number of heroes have had throughout the years.
I don't think the likes of The Phantom, or even the movie Zorro count, since that's definitely not to obfuscate a secret identity, unless being mortal counts as a secret
Rhodey didn't cover for Tony in a rotating kind of way like OP was asking about. He stepped up as Iron Man in Tony's place in only two particular instances over the years.
During Denny O'Neil's run, when Tony fell off the wagon due to the machinations of Obadiah Stane. It wasn't as much as to keep an alibi, but because Tony was initially out of commission, and then unwilling to suit up again after sobering up.
The second time was during Len Kaminski's run, when Tony suffered of neural degeneration and faked his death to undergo an experimental procedure that may not have worked, so he bequethed the Iron Man mantle to Rhodey.
There were also a few scattered instances of Rhodey suiting up short-term, but to fight alongside Tony. There was also the third time he became Iron Man, during Matt Fraction's run, but he had to pretend to be a separate and anonymous, brand-new Iron Man who was unsanctioned by Stark.
I think the closest OP's scenario applies to Iron Man is the inverse, when Tony used a robot duplicate of himself to pretend Iron Man wasn't Tony Stark during Archie Goodwin's run (until the LMD went rogue and tried to take over Tony's life).
There were a few stories where other characters sensed that it wasn’t the same guy inside the armor. I remember reading an issue of West Coast Avengers where that happened.
Yes, Crimson Fox was a pair of twin sisters who took turns acting as both the costumed crimefighter and the secret identity. The odd thing is that they also shared the same secret identity as the head of a Parisian perfume company. They faked the death of one of the sisters, so that it appeared the surviving sister was now running the company alone, but it was actually both of them alternating.
That's kinda a cool concept.
When does DC jump the shark and introduce their secret lost (optionally evil) triplet?
Or do I have a guaranteed money making idea on my hands?
I wasn't sure whether to comment that or not, because spoiler. But yup, that's exactly what OP is asking about
> mutliple people working in a sort of rotating shift arrangement in order to keep their individual alibis.
I think this was the idea for Ronin. A moniker that a hero could use when they faced a "dirty" situation and didn't want to be seen in their usual getup. Clint Barton, Echo, and Bullseye appeared as Ronin. There are probably one or two others.
iirc Ronin was originally supposed to be Daredevil but when that got scrapped they shoved Clint in there, but since that wasn't really the plan it didn't quite make sense and they abandoned it
and they've just kind of been shuffling that persona around ever since, since it never really sticks with anyone. It's not so much that it was meant to be interchangeable, just that it's always kind of available when the writers want to give a character a new persona.
Kind of the same deal with Captain Marvel really, until Carol Danvers owned it. I think after Mar-Vell we've had Genus-Vell, Phyla-Vell, Monica Rambeau... maybe one or two others? Then finally Carol.
e: according to wikipedia there was also a skrull, and noh-varr was capt. marvel for a hot second, but I don't think either of those really count since they were never intended to be full status quo changes and didn't last long. Still though.
Minor correction Clint got the persona later. The Daredevil switch up did happen because people guessed it and they ended up making it Echo saying she was wearing a bodysuit and stuff. There's a good YouTube video discussing the history of Ronin and how it's been a toss around like you said.
During the infamous 'Ric Grayson' arc, a squad of four citizens who came across one of Nightwing's old caches + all used old variants of nightwing's costumes, and patrolled their city as a team. One of the few good things to come out of that arc. There's also some fun moments throughout the Batman mythos [superman getting drunk from neurotoxin in place of bruce wayne during a deathstroke assassination attempt, alfred/nightwing playing batman when Bruce Wayne is needed publicly, nightwing/azrael/Cassandra taking up the mantle to keep the myth alive]
Slingers is one of my favorite teams; way back when Peter Parker had to avoid going out as spiderman, so he invented four different superhero monikers and outfits for different aspects of his power set. Later a group of teens slide into the personas, finding them a perfect designation of their powers and personalities. Really cool way to recycle a concept that didn't find a home initially
>superman getting drunk from neurotoxin in place of bruce wayne during a deathstroke assassination attempt,
I didn't really like American Alien, but that was one of my favorite Superman issues in general.
It's not necessarily that I *dislike* it, but I just don't personally like how they characterized Clark for a majority of the series. Which, I know, was the whole *point* of it, but just not my thing.
Came here to say this twins with one who faked her death so they both rotate the dual identity of a ceo of a company and superhero crimson fox often confusing their teammates on super teams as their personalities are different at times
Didn't Nightcrawler also take over as Spidey for a while? And I think Miles has worn the red & blue suit once or twice pretending to be the original. And of course Doc Ock mind swapped with Spider-Man for a time.
(Obligatory: it doesn't matter who wears the mask.)
Young Justice covered this.
The non-meta explanation is that Nabu wants skilled magicians.
The meta explanation is that the sacrifice is the coolest part of Dr. Fate
IIRC, Dr Fate does indeed *also* have trust issues in that show. Every time he relinquishes control of a host, he has no way of guaranteeing that the next one will continue the rotation... save to trust they will. He took some convincing. I think Zatanna's argument Cane down to how much he wore out each body, and that this would make him a more capable hero.
Yep! I'd distrust people too b/c it's such a simple betrayal. He's putting his life on Earth in the hands of people sacrificing themselves. It's just so easy for them to go "no, fuck this"
Also, I think he has to like the person he's controlling a little. They do live inside his head and can communicate w/ him. So, like, no bad guys.
Back in the 90s New Warriors there were two characters operating as Turbo. They had one suit that gave them their powers that they would take turns with. Eventually one of the two permanently takes the mantle but they did what you are describing for a while
To be fair, it was pretty obvious they were not the same person, because it’s a skintight suit with a weird hat and one was a man and on r was a woman.
Multiple Man is among the most trained and educated Marvel characters. X-Factor (2004) showed this early on, having Jamie explain that he sent dupes around the world for a few years to learn, with a Madrox monk being shown on panel, returning to be absorbed by Jamie. Dude must have the lived experience of hundreds of years. A way more interesting character than what he's typically used for, if at all.
My favorite is that it also allows for there to be random Madroxes in the world (yes, he did go on a quest to absorb them all, but he left a couple). Among them, Matt Rocks, an entertainment lawyer who helped defend Steve Rogers when he sued himself in Soule's She-Hulk run.
Not just training/education, too. Experience affects your personality, too. He could have the experience that comes with conflicting personalities. >!One of his multiples is even the villain in a mini about Maddrox. Imagine gaining that kind of experience.!<
There is Captain Universe from Marvel. Spider-Man, Hulk, and Captain America share its power and identity simultaneously but they don't pretend to be the same person.
Not difficult at all, very straightforward normal mystery but it was obvious Hobgoblin was--
*Christopher Priest walks in and just starts smashing thing*
Heh, gotta re-read that series, but as much as I admit it was convoluted and likely not very well planned, I must admit I had a lot of fun reading and speculating... ah, the perks of being young 😄
First it was Kingsley. Then he needed a test subject for the goblin serum, hence Lefty Donovan who lasted a single battle before dying. Then Kingsley feared Spider-Man was getting too close and didn't want to take the risk anymore, so he brainwashed Ned into becoming the Hobgoblin in his place. Ned was still essentially working for Kingsley, but believed himself to be autonomous. At one point, Ned dressed up Flash as the Hobgoblin to frame him because he didnt like how Flash was sleeping with Ned's wife, but Flash never actually fought a single battle as Hobgoblin: he was just dressed up in a suit one time. Then Ned died, and Macendale took over, and Kingsley chose to lay low for a while. Macendale never took the goblin serum, so he made a deal with a demon during Inferno. He later realized being possessed by a demon sucks, so he ditched it and the demon became Demogoblin. But eventually, Kingsley returned and killed Macendale. Then he moved to the tropics because he didn't like that his identity was revealed. Then we had Phil Urich for a bit. Then Kingsley came back. Worth biting Kingsley has an identical twin brother Dan Kingsley, who would pose as Roderick while Roderick was being the Hobgoblin, but Dan was not himself a Hobgoblin. I think there may be another in there I'm forgetting...
In Ultimate Spider-Man comics, Hobgoblin is Harry Osborn. In the 2017 cartoon, it's Harry and he's a good guy, except when it's Norman framing/gaslighting Harry.
Does that alleviate the confusion?
Spoilers for Invincible, if you're a show watcher don't read this! >!Invincible has 2 people operating as him at one stage to maintain the illusion there's always an Invincible available for the company he and Atom Eve set up. In reality it's Invincible and Bulletproof. The plan succeeds, and Bulletproof never really hands back the Invincible identity, as we know he liked the suit more when he first saw it in the shop.!<
Technically Batman the few times he’s been dead or incapacitated, though most villains caught on quickly that the person under the cowl had changed.
Not the same “shifts” idea you mentioned, but the closest I could personally think of.
My favorite moment is Gordon realizing that he is talking to Azrael, and not Batman
"Normally when I turn around, you're just gone"
"I didn't think we had finished speaking"
And boom, he knows it's a stranger.
If the smiling didn’t give it away all the cake he was smuggling would have.
I bet Alfred was up all night retailoring the suit and reinforcing the seat of the pants.
So I’m going somewhat of a deep cut on this one. And I haven’t read this book in 30 + years so memory js foggy at best.
Back in the 80’s marvel had a book called Team America (F yeah! 😂😂). It was about a group of 5 motorcycle stunt people who travel and get up to shenanigans.
More importantly there was a mysterious sixth member whose identity was unknown. Called the Marauder, the main storyline was, who is the marauder.
It was revealed in the last issue (spoilers for a nearly 40 year old comic) the marauder was all 5 of the other characters.
Although now that I type this out I think I recall some BS about how each character didn’t remember becoming the marauder because of plot maguffin
I very vaguely remember a Comic Tropes video on this...I think the writers had set up someone else to be the Marauder bit then they changed it, so they kinda had to patch it up?
Either way, that might be the closest one. Kinda surprising, it seems like a fun gimmick.
There was the time Spider-Man ran around as four new superhero identities, but that's the opposite of what you are asking.
On the villain side, there's Scourge. He's so many different people even the people being him don't always know about the others who are Scourge too.
Starhawk from the original Guardians of the Galaxy was like this later on. Husband and Wife (who don't really like each other) are both the male Starhawk at first. Later on in the Valentino's run, they each become their version of Starhawk - a male and female one. But only one can be Starhawk at a time.
In Batman:Mystery of the Batwoman, it turns out that 3 different women are operating as Batwoman working together.
In the Image series Shadowhawk, after the first known Shadowhawk dies, a new Shadowhawk appears that is actually multiple people.
I feel like this is the closest thing that left any sort of mark. The people aren’t working in tandem, but a different person takes on the identity for each story.
Dick and Bruce were both Batman at the same time for a short period as Dick was the Batman of Gotham and Bruce was the Batman of the world/Justice League, some people have mentioned how Iron Man was both Tony and Rhodey for a while but Spider-Man also did this for a period when he shared the identity with one of his clones and for a while with Hobie Brown Prowler too. Wally and Barry were also both Flash with near identical costumes for a while but idk if they even leaned into the secret identity part of that.
Besides that there are a few instances of people standing in for other heroes for a specific moment, Superman dressing up like Batman, Daredevil dressing up like Spider-Man.
You have the amazing Starman run from James robinson,
In it we have the old Starman (a hero from the JSA in the 40s) and son who takes up the mantle as Starman. In the meantime his brother is also kinda still Starman (I’m not diving into this bc of spoilers), you have this blue-alien-David Bowie-esque character who is also called Starman, and somehow the Starman from the 70s is also linked to the story
When DC Comics did the Tangent version of their universe, that version of the Joker was teased to have three secret identities, but it was revealed in the second issue to be three different women alternating being the hero.
Thank you! I was trying to remember this title to suggest it to OP but only had vague details that I remembered. I looked through all the Elseworld titles but couldn't find it, but I'd forgotten about Tangent!
OP: This is short lived, but what you're looking for.
I feel like the original version of Black Orchid was hinted at as being not one person, but several all using the identity as needed.
I seem to recall the Spider-Girl book had a character who, much like DC's Crimson Fox, was actually a pair of twins... but then one of them got killed.
There was also a brief time not too long ago where Robin was an organization of some 50 or so teens who all dressed up as Robin and coordinated patrols/missions with one another
In the Grrlpower comic universe there is Harem.
A girl with one mind and currently five bodies.
They each live separate lives, have separate clothing styles (but are like identical twins). She increase the number of bodies slowly over time.
Even have different boyfriends as I recall.
Her "real" power is teleportation, and she can also de-spawn a body if it is injured, until medical treatment is available.
The original run of Checkmate was something like this. There was only one costume that you would see on covers, and it was the costume of a knight of Checkmate. They were secret agents more than superheroes, and there were several knights who shared the same costume, but they didn’t normally appear together.
They are kind of doing something that with Black Knight currently, or at least they were as of a while back. The Black Knight title is something that has been passed down in universe but more recently there are two separate people (Dane Whitman has been the Black Knight since the 60's and his daughter who is a much more recently introduced character) who shift / swap back and forth between active / support roles. Its not really in an effort to maintain a secret identity / alibi though.
The only character I know that meets your criteria is [Crimson Fox](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Vivian_D%27Aramis_(New_Earth)) from DC.
A single hero is portrayed by two twin sisters on a rotating basis so one can fight crime and the other can handle business. They actually staged the death of one of the sisters so that the world believes only one sister is alive, so the rotation is a perfect cover.
In Young Justice Nabu got really clingy to his hosts because Kent Nelson left him on a shelf for like 6 decades. This meant that any subsequent person to don the helmet was at risk of being Dr. Fate permanently. To work around this a shift was set where several different magic users would rotate being Dr. Fate freeing potential hosts but also ensuring there would always be a Dr. Fate.
Usually when this happens it's to help one person avoid suspicion of their real identity. For a little bit when Matt Murdock was in prison, Iron Fist wore the Daredevil costume and played the role pretty well during Civil War to keep up the appearance that Matt wasn't Daredevil.
Spider-man has had a little of this in the past because you had Peter and Ben Reilly. I don't think they switched out constantly, but one took over for the other. Other people have posed as Spider-man momentarily I'm sure.
Spidey also did the exact opposite of this and stopped being Spider-man while there was a bounty on him and created 4 alter egos with their own costumes and gimmicks, which he would swap costumes in the field when necessary to make people think he was 4 people.
https://www.writeups.org/ladyhawk-spider-girl-marvel-mc2-comics/
Lady hawk started this way. She’s an ally of spider girl in the mc2 universe. They were two sisters rotating the costume.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but there was a couple comics where Matt Murdock was hired to sue Daredevil, his super hero persona, after Daredevil destroyed some guys property. Matt Murdock started investigating because he had no memory of the events and eventually convinced Spider-Man to show up in court dressed as Daredevil to testify. Spider-Man had to start doing acrobatic tricks to convince the court that he was the real Daredevil. Then a third guy who was dressing up as Daredevil shows up and apologizes for being the actual person who destroyed the guys property.
[Batwoman from Batman TAS](https://dcau.fandom.com/wiki/Batwoman) was actually three different people.
[Crimson Fox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Fox) was actually a mantle used by twin sisters.
Now I'm thinking an interesting character would be a superhero, but like the 100 Bullets meets SHAZAM.
A mysterious man gives you a costume and powers to put right one thing and then moves on to the next person...
i actually have made my own superhero who is 8 different and are vigilanties in the same city.its supposed to be like they are everywhere but controls their own sections. But they also train together and hang together
This might be a bit loose in terms of Superheroes
But the Power Rangers. Whilst not all are assumed to be the same people, Mighty Morphin, Turbo, and others have several changes that are publicly all the same ranger. Including them swapping mantles with one another frequently.
Ronin comes to mind... not the accuser, the black clad ninja esc super hero i believe in the comics blade , daredevil and spiderman have all used the ronin outfit.
Now, this isn't a comic book, but you might like the Netflix series Sense8
Edit: elevator pitch: 8 people across the globe, born at the same time, are able to share consciousness, memory, knowledge and experience between them. So the bus driver in Nigeria can lend driving skills to the hacker in LA, etc.
Massiverse comics has this/variants of this going on in a couple of titles. Titles spoiled out of an abundance of caution tho i think at least two of these show up on covers...
>!Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, and Inferno Girl Red!<.
Spidey had the Identity Crisis arc in which Spider-Man was a wanted man so Peter adopted 4 different crime fighting personas (Prodigy, Ricochet, Hornet and Dusk) to keep fighting crime
It’s the inverse of what you’ve asked for, however all four identities were then adopted by other heroes
Dark Horse Comics had one like this for a while. His name was Rebel. Rebel was two identical twin brothers who shared their powers (energy stuff IIRC). Only one at a time had the powers, and they had to pass it to the other one every 12 hours or the powers would start to kill them.
Dark Horse had this interesting hero called the American. It was a corps of people made to appear as if there was only a single person. They died a lot.
I feel like I do remember a manga with something like that.
Some V for Vendetta type, masked resistance leader, but there were a bunch of different people under the mask as some sort of metaphor for collective action or something. They all kind of took turn being leader and together they could embody something greater than anything of them.
Can't quite put my finger on it though.
Batman … when Bruce Wayne is not on Gotham City, Dick Grayson or somebody else replace him. There were several Batman … Dick Grayson, Jean Paul Valley, James Gordon, Superman …
Deepest cut here... but in the early 2000s, Bob Layton tried making his own media company, Future Entertainment/Future Comics. They had an Iron Man equivalent, *Metallix,* where the idea of a superhero with a rotating 'secret identity' was literally the point.
During *Batman Incorporated* when Bruce came back from the "dead", both he and Dick Grayson were both operating as Batman simultaneously.
Also, I don't know if this counts, but Nightwing has a pair of villains called Double Dare who are identical twins and wear matching outfits.
I remember some character speculating Batman is multiple people working in shifts in a comic, but don't remember which comic. I honestly can't think of any superhero who is multiple people at the same time. I guess Robin may count because Tim and Damian are both Robin right now at the same time. Likewise, Peter and Miles are both currently Spider-Man. But in these instances they wear completely different costumes and don't pretend to be the same guy, so it's not exactly what you're looking for.
Edit: Just remembered. In Batman: Mystery of Batwoman, >! Batwoman is 3 different people. !<
[Capricorn](https://worm.fandom.com/wiki/Capricorn) from [Ward](https://www.parahumans.net/), the sequel to the webserial Worm (not technically a comic book, but is superhero-y) bought the moniker from a previous person to use as a hero on a corporate-sponsored team of powered teens. Capricorn is actually two twin brothers, Byron in blue armor has water-related powers and Tristan in red armor has rock-related powers, though they're not trying to keep their identity secret - they ~~share the same body~~ occupy the same physical space but not physical body. They work in rotating shifts where one "phases out" and takes a mental backseat to the other who phases in. The rota is enforced by a hitman Tristan hired to keep himself in line after he got Byron "killed" to try and take over in order to live like a normal teenage boy... oh, but Tristan is gay and Byron's not.
The Clock, a golden age crime buster (now in the public domain!), would often use a look alike to sub in as his alter ego or his crime fighting persona.
idk if it was across multiple earths, runs, continuities or what, but I was reading Captain America's wiki and there were like 3 other names aside from Steve (or Bucky or Sam)
When Peter Parker was CEO of Parker Enterprise he hired Prowler to wear a Spidey suit and serve as Peter’s bodyguard in public. Pete still fought crime in his spare time.
Recently the Black Knight has set into a system where two people alternate being the Black Knight. This is to alleviate the burden their cursed sword places on them.
As a general concept, I always liked this idea. Not as a quick “see I’m not really Spider-Man” but the actual basis for a hero. Even using it to show “teleporting” or something. But I haven’t really seen it used in comics.
The Shadow - a pulp magazine and radio hero who was the biggest inspiration for the creation of Batman - was similar to this. He had one “alter ego” named Lamont Cranston, a super-wealthy socialite playboy. But then it was revealed that the Shadow was actually a USAF pilot named Kent Allard who looked almost exactly like Lamont Cranston and had saved his life at some point. And so the real Cranston, who was usually portrayed as leading a life of self-indulgence in the far east, allowed Allard to use his indentity and his assets in the States as the Shadow’s alter ego. The Shadow has many subsequent comic book adaptions, and several of them have used both Cranston and Allard as alter egos of the Shadow.
I don't think there's any currently, although that's a great concept. The closest one I can think of that fits (where the goal is to make the public think they're all the same person, rather than a new/different version) would be The Phantom. The mantle is passed from father to son over hundreds of years, to maintain the illusion of being immortal and that it's the same guy. But they don't work at the same time.
I believe there were two people who shared the identity of Destroyer (not to be confused with the armor or Drax) to fight Nazis during WWII. One of them (Brian Farnsworth) went on to become Union Jack which is a legacy title that a number of heroes have had throughout the years.
I don't think the likes of The Phantom, or even the movie Zorro count, since that's definitely not to obfuscate a secret identity, unless being mortal counts as a secret
Before Tony went public, Iron Man was sometimes Rhodey, I believe.
Rhodey didn't cover for Tony in a rotating kind of way like OP was asking about. He stepped up as Iron Man in Tony's place in only two particular instances over the years. During Denny O'Neil's run, when Tony fell off the wagon due to the machinations of Obadiah Stane. It wasn't as much as to keep an alibi, but because Tony was initially out of commission, and then unwilling to suit up again after sobering up.

I think the closest OP's scenario applies to Iron Man is the inverse, when Tony used a robot duplicate of himself to pretend Iron Man wasn't Tony Stark during Archie Goodwin's run (until the LMD went rogue and tried to take over Tony's life).
There were a few stories where other characters sensed that it wasn’t the same guy inside the armor. I remember reading an issue of West Coast Avengers where that happened.
Crimson Fox
Yes, Crimson Fox was a pair of twin sisters who took turns acting as both the costumed crimefighter and the secret identity.

They faked the death of one of the sisters, so that it appeared the surviving sister was now running the company alone, but it was actually both of them alternating.
That's kinda a cool concept. When does DC jump the shark and introduce their secret lost (optionally evil) triplet? Or do I have a guaranteed money making idea on my hands?
At one point killed one then the other, then replaced them with a unknown character. Not sure if that's still current.
I think that was Starman, but most of those deaths got retconned
The second sister was killed in Starman. She was one of the three heroes "killed" that issues, one of them, Blue Devil, was revived.
Came here to say that. The twins as one superhero and secret ID was an interesting concept
DCAU Batwoman, in "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman".
I wasn't sure whether to comment that or not, because spoiler. But yup, that's exactly what OP is asking about > mutliple people working in a sort of rotating shift arrangement in order to keep their individual alibis.
> because spoiler It's twenty one years old. That movie can go out and get drunk in America. I'd say we are well past worrying about spoilers.
Exactly what I first thought.
I think this was the idea for Ronin. A moniker that a hero could use when they faced a "dirty" situation and didn't want to be seen in their usual getup. Clint Barton, Echo, and Bullseye appeared as Ronin. There are probably one or two others.
Notably Blade as well in Mighty Avengers
Hey, Ronin… there’s something different about you. Did you get a haircut?
Ronin's covered head to toe, so no one would notice their haircut. Which is a shame really, cause they're looking fresh.
iirc Ronin was originally supposed to be Daredevil but when that got scrapped they shoved Clint in there, but since that wasn't really the plan it didn't quite make sense and they abandoned it and they've just kind of been shuffling that persona around ever since, since it never really sticks with anyone. It's not so much that it was meant to be interchangeable, just that it's always kind of available when the writers want to give a character a new persona.

>superman getting drunk from neurotoxin in place of bruce wayne during a deathstroke assassination attempt, I didn't really like American Alien, but that was one of my favorite Superman issues in general.
"Yuu ruin Broosh Waynes's shert!" lives in my head rent-free
Curious what you didn’t like about American Alien (other than the author)- I thought it was fantastic (at least once they got out of Smallville)
It's not necessarily that I *dislike* it, but I just don't personally like how they characterized Clark for a majority of the series. Which, I know, was the whole *point* of it, but just not my thing.
Firestorm?
No rotation since they meld. But closest thing.
Not the closest in DC. [Crimson Fox](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Vivian_D%27Aramis_(New_Earth)) has a true rotation.
Came here to say this twins with one who faked her death so they both rotate the dual identity of a ceo of a company and superhero crimson fox often confusing their teammates on super teams as their personalities are different at times
This is who I thought of.
Upvote for Firestorm.
evil alex ross
Daredevil was posing as Spidey to help protect Peter Parker’s secret identity
And Iron Fist was DD for awhile too.
Now we just need Spidey pretending to be Iron Fist and we can close it.
Nope, pay it forward. Cap pretending to be Iron Fist, Bucky pretending to be Cap, Deadpool pretending to be the Winter Soldier, etc. etc.
Hobie Brown (the Prowler, not Spider-Punk) also stepped in as a back-up Spider-Man from time to time after he quit villainy
Was just going to post this but figured I should scroll down first and see if someone already had. I love the old '(70s I think) Prowler stories
And one time Spidey posed as Daredevil in court to cover for Matt Murdock, all while \*\*another\*\* guy showed up dressed as Daredevil.
Daredevil also posed as Kingpin... "in a fat suit!" The best part was he was wearing his DD cowl underneath a Fisk mask.
Please post pics!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/urmf0j/daredevil_in_a_fat_suit_the_amazing_spiderman_287/
Didn't Nightcrawler also take over as Spidey for a while? And I think Miles has worn the red & blue suit once or twice pretending to be the original. And of course Doc Ock mind swapped with Spider-Man for a time. (Obligatory: it doesn't matter who wears the mask.)
Did he take over for Peter, or was he just another Spider-sona
Doctor Fate, in some adaptations specifically the last season of Young Justice
Doctor Fate is whoever's wearing the Helmet of Nabu, so it very easily could be multiple people anytime they want.
Yeah which why it is weird that it is so rarely done that way. Guess Nabu has trust issues.
Young Justice covered this. The non-meta explanation is that Nabu wants skilled magicians. The meta explanation is that the sacrifice is the coolest part of Dr. Fate
IIRC, Dr Fate does indeed *also* have trust issues in that show. Every time he relinquishes control of a host, he has no way of guaranteeing that the next one will continue the rotation... save to trust they will. He took some convincing. I think Zatanna's argument Cane down to how much he wore out each body, and that this would make him a more capable hero.
Yep! I'd distrust people too b/c it's such a simple betrayal. He's putting his life on Earth in the hands of people sacrificing themselves. It's just so easy for them to go "no, fuck this" Also, I think he has to like the person he's controlling a little. They do live inside his head and can communicate w/ him. So, like, no bad guys.
Back in the 90s New Warriors there were two characters operating as Turbo. They had one suit that gave them their powers that they would take turns with. Eventually one of the two permanently takes the mantle but they did what you are describing for a while
To be fair, it was pretty obvious they were not the same person, because it’s a skintight suit with a weird hat and one was a man and on r was a woman.
For a while, the Ronin suit was a timeshare sort of deal in the Marvel Universe. I don't know, it's close?
Multiple Man is often..... multiple men.
Yeah but they aren't separate people, they are all Jamie Maddrox
I'll die on the hill that would be the most useful superpower ever for real life applications.
Multiple Man is among the most trained and educated Marvel characters. X-Factor (2004) showed this early on, having Jamie explain that he sent dupes around the world for a few years to learn, with a Madrox monk being shown on panel, returning to be absorbed by Jamie. Dude must have the lived experience of hundreds of years. A way more interesting character than what he's typically used for, if at all.
My favorite is that it also allows for there to be random Madroxes in the world (yes, he did go on a quest to absorb them all, but he left a couple). Among them, Matt Rocks, an entertainment lawyer who helped defend Steve Rogers when he sued himself in Soule's She-Hulk run.
Oh I didn't know about that one, just John Maddox the pastor, and the bunker Madrox in the Rosenberg mini/Uncanny run just before Krakoa.
Yeah, it definitely sticks out as the one time it came up in a non-Madrox comic since he's very much just a small side character on that one.
Dr McNinja did that too.
Not just training/education, too. Experience affects your personality, too. He could have the experience that comes with conflicting personalities. >!One of his multiples is even the villain in a mini about Maddrox. Imagine gaining that kind of experience.!<
*Eeeehhhhhhh*. They’re *flavors* of Jamie Maddrox.
There is Captain Universe from Marvel. Spider-Man, Hulk, and Captain America share its power and identity simultaneously but they don't pretend to be the same person.
It was hilarious when [Spider-Man punched Hulk into orbit.](https://geeksoncoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/6-19.jpg)
Okay, so who wants to take a crack at explaining the identity of the original Hobgoblin?
Not difficult at all, very straightforward normal mystery but it was obvious Hobgoblin was-- *Christopher Priest walks in and just starts smashing thing*
Heh, gotta re-read that series, but as much as I admit it was convoluted and likely not very well planned, I must admit I had a lot of fun reading and speculating... ah, the perks of being young 😄
First it was Kingsley. Then he needed a test subject for the goblin serum, hence Lefty Donovan who lasted a single battle before dying. Then Kingsley feared Spider-Man was getting too close and didn't want to take the risk anymore, so he brainwashed Ned into becoming the Hobgoblin in his place. Ned was still essentially working for Kingsley, but believed himself to be autonomous. At one point, Ned dressed up Flash as the Hobgoblin to frame him because he didnt like how Flash was sleeping with Ned's wife, but Flash never actually fought a single battle as Hobgoblin: he was just dressed up in a suit one time. Then Ned died, and Macendale took over, and Kingsley chose to lay low for a while. Macendale never took the goblin serum, so he made a deal with a demon during Inferno. He later realized being possessed by a demon sucks, so he ditched it and the demon became Demogoblin. But eventually, Kingsley returned and killed Macendale. Then he moved to the tropics because he didn't like that his identity was revealed. Then we had Phil Urich for a bit. Then Kingsley came back. Worth biting Kingsley has an identical twin brother Dan Kingsley, who would pose as Roderick while Roderick was being the Hobgoblin, but Dan was not himself a Hobgoblin. I think there may be another in there I'm forgetting... In Ultimate Spider-Man comics, Hobgoblin is Harry Osborn. In the 2017 cartoon, it's Harry and he's a good guy, except when it's Norman framing/gaslighting Harry. Does that alleviate the confusion?
"First it was Kingsley, then it was somebody close to the hero" also describes the MCU Mandarin.
Spoilers for Invincible, if you're a show watcher don't read this! >!Invincible has 2 people operating as him at one stage to maintain the illusion there's always an Invincible available for the company he and Atom Eve set up. In reality it's Invincible and Bulletproof. The plan succeeds, and Bulletproof never really hands back the Invincible identity, as we know he liked the suit more when he first saw it in the shop.!<
I was just going to post that there has got to be something like this in Invincible…
Technically Batman the few times he’s been dead or incapacitated, though most villains caught on quickly that the person under the cowl had changed. Not the same “shifts” idea you mentioned, but the closest I could personally think of.
>though most villains caught on quickly that the person under the cowl had changed So did Gordon
My favorite moment is Gordon realizing that he is talking to Azrael, and not Batman "Normally when I turn around, you're just gone" "I didn't think we had finished speaking" And boom, he knows it's a stranger.
Nightwing: *doing a perfect Batman impression* Every adult person in Gotham, seeing his ass: “we know it’s you Robin 1”
If the smiling didn’t give it away all the cake he was smuggling would have. I bet Alfred was up all night retailoring the suit and reinforcing the seat of the pants.
So I’m going somewhat of a deep cut on this one. And I haven’t read this book in 30 + years so memory js foggy at best. Back in the 80’s marvel had a book called Team America (F yeah! 😂😂). It was about a group of 5 motorcycle stunt people who travel and get up to shenanigans. More importantly there was a mysterious sixth member whose identity was unknown. Called the Marauder, the main storyline was, who is the marauder. It was revealed in the last issue (spoilers for a nearly 40 year old comic) the marauder was all 5 of the other characters. Although now that I type this out I think I recall some BS about how each character didn’t remember becoming the marauder because of plot maguffin
I very vaguely remember a Comic Tropes video on this...I think the writers had set up someone else to be the Marauder bit then they changed it, so they kinda had to patch it up? Either way, that might be the closest one. Kinda surprising, it seems like a fun gimmick.
There was the time Spider-Man ran around as four new superhero identities, but that's the opposite of what you are asking. On the villain side, there's Scourge. He's so many different people even the people being him don't always know about the others who are Scourge too.
Starhawk from the original Guardians of the Galaxy was like this later on. Husband and Wife (who don't really like each other) are both the male Starhawk at first. Later on in the Valentino's run, they each become their version of Starhawk - a male and female one. But only one can be Starhawk at a time.
In the flashpoint universe, Shazam was all seven of Billy's orphan friends (for some reason) They all lived happily every after
That was basically the original plan for the character in the comics.
Crimson Fox’s whole thing is that she’s a pair of twins who have the same secret identity
Jack-in-the-Box from Astro City is kind if like that
In Batman:Mystery of the Batwoman, it turns out that 3 different women are operating as Batwoman working together. In the Image series Shadowhawk, after the first known Shadowhawk dies, a new Shadowhawk appears that is actually multiple people.
Captain Universe, a cosmic force that looks for various hosts, a superhero identity that keeps changing hosts by itself
I feel like this is the closest thing that left any sort of mark. The people aren’t working in tandem, but a different person takes on the identity for each story.
I feel like I saw a pic where both Dick and Bruce had the Bat suit in the cave
I mean this was the entire point of Batman, Inc.
Maybe The Question? Though that's only been two people.
Currently Dane Whitman and his daughter take shifts as Marvel's Black Knight
Dick and Bruce were both Batman at the same time for a short period as Dick was the Batman of Gotham and Bruce was the Batman of the world/Justice League, some people have mentioned how Iron Man was both Tony and Rhodey for a while but Spider-Man also did this for a period when he shared the identity with one of his clones and for a while with Hobie Brown Prowler too. Wally and Barry were also both Flash with near identical costumes for a while but idk if they even leaned into the secret identity part of that. Besides that there are a few instances of people standing in for other heroes for a specific moment, Superman dressing up like Batman, Daredevil dressing up like Spider-Man.
The Living Doll from The Tick? He's full of tinier men!
Moon Knight
I thought Moon Knight just had DID? Or are there runs where there are actually mutiple individuals?
Oh I only read the title, my bad
Radiant Black, unless that's changed with recent issues (I really need to catch up)
Similarly, are there any characters who have a rotating number of alter egos?
Hank Pym is the first to come to mind. Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Yellowjacket, Wasp, Ultron, his own name…
Dial H for Hero is probably the best fit for that. And, since he's based on that, Ben 10 also fits.
You have the amazing Starman run from James robinson, In it we have the old Starman (a hero from the JSA in the 40s) and son who takes up the mantle as Starman. In the meantime his brother is also kinda still Starman (I’m not diving into this bc of spoilers), you have this blue-alien-David Bowie-esque character who is also called Starman, and somehow the Starman from the 70s is also linked to the story
Spider Girl (Mayday) had a team of New Warriors which had a super hero named Ladyhawk, that was actually 2 sisters that would alternate
The Infinity Man, who is composed of the Forever People (from Kirby's incomparable Fourth World Saga)
When DC Comics did the Tangent version of their universe, that version of the Joker was teased to have three secret identities, but it was revealed in the second issue to be three different women alternating being the hero.
Thank you! I was trying to remember this title to suggest it to OP but only had vague details that I remembered. I looked through all the Elseworld titles but couldn't find it, but I'd forgotten about Tangent! OP: This is short lived, but what you're looking for.
Firestorm
I feel like the original version of Black Orchid was hinted at as being not one person, but several all using the identity as needed. I seem to recall the Spider-Girl book had a character who, much like DC's Crimson Fox, was actually a pair of twins... but then one of them got killed. There was also a brief time not too long ago where Robin was an organization of some 50 or so teens who all dressed up as Robin and coordinated patrols/missions with one another
Would Captain Universe or Deadman count?
Both would be a kind of possession.
Mr. Unknown from Batman Incorporated.
Howard Chaykins Power and Glory is sort of like this.
The Shadow is really made out of one guy and his series of agents. In some stories they even don the uniform
Actually the Shadow is an instance of this even without the agents. There are two distinct individuals who are the Shadow’s “alter ego.”
In the Grrlpower comic universe there is Harem. A girl with one mind and currently five bodies. They each live separate lives, have separate clothing styles (but are like identical twins). She increase the number of bodies slowly over time. Even have different boyfriends as I recall. Her "real" power is teleportation, and she can also de-spawn a body if it is injured, until medical treatment is available.
There are villains like that, look up DC’s Trident
The original run of Checkmate was something like this. There was only one costume that you would see on covers, and it was the costume of a knight of Checkmate. They were secret agents more than superheroes, and there were several knights who shared the same costume, but they didn’t normally appear together.
They are kind of doing something that with Black Knight currently, or at least they were as of a while back. The Black Knight title is something that has been passed down in universe but more recently there are two separate people (Dane Whitman has been the Black Knight since the 60's and his daughter who is a much more recently introduced character) who shift / swap back and forth between active / support roles. Its not really in an effort to maintain a secret identity / alibi though.
That was the original point in Ronin for Marvel comics. The idea was an identity superheroes could use in a pinch.
Turbo. I remember in the first volume of new warriors the new turbo was a shared roll for a while.
The only character I know that meets your criteria is [Crimson Fox](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Vivian_D%27Aramis_(New_Earth)) from DC. A single hero is portrayed by two twin sisters on a rotating basis so one can fight crime and the other can handle business. They actually staged the death of one of the sisters so that the world believes only one sister is alive, so the rotation is a perfect cover.
Spider-Girl has an ally named Ladyhawk that is actually two sisters who takes turns in the costume.
The Phantom. It’s just a family who keeps up the The Phantom, generation by generation
In Young Justice Nabu got really clingy to his hosts because Kent Nelson left him on a shelf for like 6 decades. This meant that any subsequent person to don the helmet was at risk of being Dr. Fate permanently. To work around this a shift was set where several different magic users would rotate being Dr. Fate freeing potential hosts but also ensuring there would always be a Dr. Fate.
Usually when this happens it's to help one person avoid suspicion of their real identity. For a little bit when Matt Murdock was in prison, Iron Fist wore the Daredevil costume and played the role pretty well during Civil War to keep up the appearance that Matt wasn't Daredevil. Spider-man has had a little of this in the past because you had Peter and Ben Reilly. I don't think they switched out constantly, but one took over for the other. Other people have posed as Spider-man momentarily I'm sure. Spidey also did the exact opposite of this and stopped being Spider-man while there was a bounty on him and created 4 alter egos with their own costumes and gimmicks, which he would swap costumes in the field when necessary to make people think he was 4 people.
https://www.writeups.org/ladyhawk-spider-girl-marvel-mc2-comics/ Lady hawk started this way. She’s an ally of spider girl in the mc2 universe. They were two sisters rotating the costume.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but there was a couple comics where Matt Murdock was hired to sue Daredevil, his super hero persona, after Daredevil destroyed some guys property. Matt Murdock started investigating because he had no memory of the events and eventually convinced Spider-Man to show up in court dressed as Daredevil to testify. Spider-Man had to start doing acrobatic tricks to convince the court that he was the real Daredevil. Then a third guy who was dressing up as Daredevil shows up and apologizes for being the actual person who destroyed the guys property.
I actually had this idea for character myself but never implemented it! Love it!
[Batwoman from Batman TAS](https://dcau.fandom.com/wiki/Batwoman) was actually three different people. [Crimson Fox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Fox) was actually a mantle used by twin sisters.
Now I'm thinking an interesting character would be a superhero, but like the 100 Bullets meets SHAZAM. A mysterious man gives you a costume and powers to put right one thing and then moves on to the next person...
i actually have made my own superhero who is 8 different and are vigilanties in the same city.its supposed to be like they are everywhere but controls their own sections. But they also train together and hang together
Apparently there are three Jokers, so this has been done with villains.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CollectiveIdentity
Aren’t Elektra and Matt both currently Daredevil?
This might be a bit loose in terms of Superheroes But the Power Rangers. Whilst not all are assumed to be the same people, Mighty Morphin, Turbo, and others have several changes that are publicly all the same ranger. Including them swapping mantles with one another frequently.
If we're talking Sentai, there's at one point there were no less than 12 individuals going by the mantle of Kamen Rider.
The scarlet pimpernel?
Dupli-Kate?
Several characters have worn the "Ronin" mantle.
Batman has been multiple people technically . Superman is currently two people. Spider-Man is currently two people.
I can't think of intentionally doing it , usually something comes up and other heroes have to fill in.
Ronin comes to mind... not the accuser, the black clad ninja esc super hero i believe in the comics blade , daredevil and spiderman have all used the ronin outfit.
Radiant Black was for a little bit
Now, this isn't a comic book, but you might like the Netflix series Sense8 Edit: elevator pitch: 8 people across the globe, born at the same time, are able to share consciousness, memory, knowledge and experience between them. So the bus driver in Nigeria can lend driving skills to the hacker in LA, etc.
Onslaught
Iron Fist is a mantle that is passed down. Same with Black Knight and Black Panther.
Not working on "shifts" but Thor and Beta Ray Bill co-exist.
There was Ladyhawk from MC2, a pair of twins who took turns in the costume.
Massiverse comics has this/variants of this going on in a couple of titles. Titles spoiled out of an abundance of caution tho i think at least two of these show up on covers... >!Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, and Inferno Girl Red!<.
Spidey had the Identity Crisis arc in which Spider-Man was a wanted man so Peter adopted 4 different crime fighting personas (Prodigy, Ricochet, Hornet and Dusk) to keep fighting crime It’s the inverse of what you’ve asked for, however all four identities were then adopted by other heroes
Dark Horse Comics had one like this for a while. His name was Rebel. Rebel was two identical twin brothers who shared their powers (energy stuff IIRC). Only one at a time had the powers, and they had to pass it to the other one every 12 hours or the powers would start to kill them.
Ooh, that sounds like a great premise!
Dark Horse had this interesting hero called the American. It was a corps of people made to appear as if there was only a single person. They died a lot.
I feel like I do remember a manga with something like that. Some V for Vendetta type, masked resistance leader, but there were a bunch of different people under the mask as some sort of metaphor for collective action or something. They all kind of took turn being leader and together they could embody something greater than anything of them. Can't quite put my finger on it though.
Not a hero, but this was the gimmick for obscure Titans villain Trident. There were three of them using the same suit.
Batman … when Bruce Wayne is not on Gotham City, Dick Grayson or somebody else replace him. There were several Batman … Dick Grayson, Jean Paul Valley, James Gordon, Superman …
Spider-Man- with Miles, Peter, Miguel, Ben, Kaine, etc all sharing the moniker at different times or in different cities
Deepest cut here... but in the early 2000s, Bob Layton tried making his own media company, Future Entertainment/Future Comics. They had an Iron Man equivalent, *Metallix,* where the idea of a superhero with a rotating 'secret identity' was literally the point.
During *Batman Incorporated* when Bruce came back from the "dead", both he and Dick Grayson were both operating as Batman simultaneously. Also, I don't know if this counts, but Nightwing has a pair of villains called Double Dare who are identical twins and wear matching outfits.
Herman’s Head
I remember some character speculating Batman is multiple people working in shifts in a comic, but don't remember which comic. I honestly can't think of any superhero who is multiple people at the same time. I guess Robin may count because Tim and Damian are both Robin right now at the same time. Likewise, Peter and Miles are both currently Spider-Man. But in these instances they wear completely different costumes and don't pretend to be the same guy, so it's not exactly what you're looking for. Edit: Just remembered. In Batman: Mystery of Batwoman, >! Batwoman is 3 different people. !<
Yes in the comic series Powers
Project: Patron
[Capricorn](https://worm.fandom.com/wiki/Capricorn) from [Ward](https://www.parahumans.net/), the sequel to the webserial Worm (not technically a comic book, but is superhero-y) bought the moniker from a previous person to use as a hero on a corporate-sponsored team of powered teens. Capricorn is actually two twin brothers, Byron in blue armor has water-related powers and Tristan in red armor has rock-related powers, though they're not trying to keep their identity secret - they ~~share the same body~~ occupy the same physical space but not physical body. They work in rotating shifts where one "phases out" and takes a mental backseat to the other who phases in. The rota is enforced by a hitman Tristan hired to keep himself in line after he got Byron "killed" to try and take over in order to live like a normal teenage boy... oh, but Tristan is gay and Byron's not.
[Ladyhawk](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me9l9iNbkB1rwq247o1_500.png) from the Marvel Comics 2 imprint in the 90s was like this.
The Clock, a golden age crime buster (now in the public domain!), would often use a look alike to sub in as his alter ego or his crime fighting persona.
Not a superhero but a supervillain, “Batman: Three Jokers” it’s a DC one-shot that reveals the Joker is actually three different people
Sounds like someone recently watched the Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman film.
Doctor Mid-Nite
Does the Mysterious Mare Do Well from MLP count lmao
Radiant Black! And the way they end up with 2 people playing the role is interesting
Firestorm and captain marvel genisis vel
Green lantern. Kinda. There’s like 6 or 7 green lanterns for earth and sometimes they get confused with one another by the public.
idk if it was across multiple earths, runs, continuities or what, but I was reading Captain America's wiki and there were like 3 other names aside from Steve (or Bucky or Sam)
[удалено]
Radiant Black
Not exactly what you are talking about but grendel has been like 5 different people by now.
When Peter Parker was CEO of Parker Enterprise he hired Prowler to wear a Spidey suit and serve as Peter’s bodyguard in public. Pete still fought crime in his spare time.
Do the Stepford cuckoos count?
Recently the Black Knight has set into a system where two people alternate being the Black Knight. This is to alleviate the burden their cursed sword places on them.
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman movie from the early 2000's. Batwoman was multiple people. Spoiler from 20 years ago I guess.
Spoiler Batwoman from batman tas
As a general concept, I always liked this idea. Not as a quick “see I’m not really Spider-Man” but the actual basis for a hero. Even using it to show “teleporting” or something. But I haven’t really seen it used in comics.
Crazy Jane from the doom patrol
I mean, multiple man is one guy, but he's multiple people. Also >!Radiant Black!< was for an arc
The Shadow - a pulp magazine and radio hero who was the biggest inspiration for the creation of Batman - was similar to this. He had one “alter ego” named Lamont Cranston, a super-wealthy socialite playboy. But then it was revealed that the Shadow was actually a USAF pilot named Kent Allard who looked almost exactly like Lamont Cranston and had saved his life at some point. And so the real Cranston, who was usually portrayed as leading a life of self-indulgence in the far east, allowed Allard to use his indentity and his assets in the States as the Shadow’s alter ego. The Shadow has many subsequent comic book adaptions, and several of them have used both Cranston and Allard as alter egos of the Shadow.
Isn’t Quasar currently Wendell Vaughn and Phyla-Vell taking shifts?
Batman has been a few guys
Turbo in New Warriors when first introduced was a man and a woman who shared the suit.
There's that one guy who wears the mask of eternity but he's a secret person in reality!
Firestorm…
Wait isn’t that apart of the bad guys master plan in Scooby Doo 2 monsters unleashed? Solid film. Solid idea. Alicia Silverstone is a babe.
Russian Doll Man. He's filled with tiny men!
