Most of the heroes are trapped in a cell, when the door opens and a guard wearing a face-concealing helmet enters. They prepare for a fight. The guard takes off his/her helmet — and reveals that it's one of their allies. In the real world, this is illegal for a military operation (under Article 39 of Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions) but not when it comes to espionage (where they'll kill you anyway if you get caught) unless you take off the uniform before you start firing, and other things. Note that the guard the hero knocks out is always wearing the right size uniform to fit them perfectly. (Except in parodies, in which case it fits them very poorly). This may or may not follow a Mugged for Disguise. This occurs so often that Rule Number 1 on the Evil Overlord List is that the Legions of Doom should wear clear helmets. Another rule from that list calls for guards to wear tailored uniforms which will not fit any hero who attempts this trick. It's a very common mythic trope called 'Wearing Enemy's Skin' identified by Joseph Campbell. Known examples go back to The Iliad, thus Older Than Feudalism. In fantasy settings where some sort of magical powers are available, a common variation of this involves fully transforming The Hero into one of the enemy. May lead to Friend or Foe? since you do, after all, look like the enemy. See also The Mole, Trojan Prisoner, Hey, Wait!, Dead Person Impersonation. On a regimental scale, this is a False Flag Operation. When used with zombies, it's Pretend We're Dead. When the disguised arouses suspicion by constantly insisting on his alliance to the enemy, it's Most Definitely Not a Villain. Contrast Disguised Hostage Gambit and False Innocence Trick. |

Shows up twice in Noob: The first novel, during which the guild is investigating a group of people wearing a Black Cloak, has the Noob guild kill members of the group so the can steal their cloaks and sneak into one of their meet-ups. The third has them disguised as Colation players by changing the colors of the cursors indicating their faction in the game interface. |

Guild Wars 2 also involves several examples, usually as part of sabotaging an enemy base of operations as one of their own or as a member of a different enemy group to get them to start fighting. The disguises are almost always magical in nature to make up for the fact that there are five playable races of varying shape and size (and most enemy factions, like the Nightmare Court or the Sons of Svanir, consist of only one race); even so, a few instances also make it so that the player can't do anything too suspicious within a certain radius of enemy units, or you'll be exposed and the disguise will disappear. | |

In Deathly Hallows, the Trio Polyjuice themselves into three random Ministry employees to sneak into the Ministry of Magic. It works, but it's subverted in that the "random" part causes endless problems: Hermione and Ron are stuck in the jobs of their disguises not to blow their cover, and they have to bluff their way though; Ron's is man whose wife was on trial that same day. Luckily Harry realized quickly his disguise was a Death Eater. As all hell breaks loose he just starts giving orders and threatening people who try to stop them, getting a bunch of Muggleborns out through the front door. Then the real guys, they didn't knock out, return. | |

Knuckles does this in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) with the Dark Legion's uniforms in order to infiltrate them. He takes the time to lampshade that its fortunate most echidnas are the same size and build, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to pull it off. Oddly, in the same issue, it still works when the rest of the Chaotix do the same, despite the fact that Vector is at least a foot and a half taller than the rest, (and the hood shouldn't cover his snout, or Espio's facial horn), and Charmy is much shorter than the rest. | |

A Thousand and One... Americas: In the fifth episode, Chris' pet dog Lon gets kidnapped by a priest, whose henchmen take him to a sacred temple so he can be cooked (this is because they, being they're Mayans, who ate dogs in Real Life). To rescue him, Chris and the girl accompanying him (Papalotl) run to the temple, and the former character paints his face and hands brown to pass for a Mayan in order to fool the entrance guards and enter (the disguise is also helped by Papalotl, herself an actual Mayan, entering with him and telling the guards that the dog she has in her hands is being given away as an offering). When Lon is rescued, he licks Chris' face, comically undoing the disguise. | |

Subverted in Antihero for Hire. While the protagonist wears a Mantis Agent's outfit, which conceals the individual from head to toe, the Mantis use electronic and DNA based identification systems, and is immediately recognized as an intruder. Played straight here then subverted later here with a beautiful Oh, Crap! moment by Shadehawk followed by a Precision F-Strike. |

Done in the "Baloo Thunder" episode of TaleSpin with Baloo, Kit, and their friend Buzz the inventor taking the place of a Corrupt Corporate Executive 's three security guards in order to return a top secret prototype helicopter to its rightful home. Baloo perfectly fits into a uniform even though he's at least twice the size of the largest guard. Also, the bad guy doesn't notice his feline guards replaced by two bears and a bird until it's too late. | |

Dark Souls III contains a ring that allows a hostile Invader to assume the appearance of a friendly phantom. Inattentive hosts will let their guard down... and then get stabbed in the back (probably literally). Members of Mound Maker covenant can take one step further by disguising themselves as a friendly summon since their name tags are marked as white instead of red, and they can actually attack the enemies in the host's world. | |

Arrow. The mercenaries on the island of Lian Yu wear balaclavas to hide their identities even from each other, so in "Trust but Verify" Oliver Queen puts on the uniform and balaclava of the man he killed and tries to infiltrate the mercenary camp so he can rescue Yao Fei. It doesn't work because Yao Fei has been forced to change sides and betrays Oliver. A later attempt is more successful because Oliver brought along Slade Wilson as a Trojan Prisoner. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link can obtain Bokoblin, Moblin, and Lizalfos Masks that allow him to move among those enemies without being attacked, since they will see Link as one of their own. It only works on one type at a time though: a Moblin will not be fooled by a Lizalfos Mask, etc. There is even a Lynel Mask, but the Lynels will see through the disguise given a minute or two and attack anyway. | |

Done at least three times in the Redwall series: Brome of Noonvale dresses up as a searat, Jukka Sling (a squirrel) shaves her tail and dyes her fur to pass as a Blue Horde rat, and Midge Manycoats designs elaborate vermin costumes for himself and Tammo. On one other occasion, Mariel and friends are wearing stolen searat clothes while on board a ship, are seen by a helmsrat on another ship, and he mistakes them for other searats even though they weren't expecting other rats to be around and aren't actively pretending to be such. | |

The rebels often borrow the Visitors' uniforms in the miniseries and series V (1983). In the original miniseries, Donovan takes the uniform of a much smaller, female Visitor, who explains that it will stretch to fit him. Apparently they're one-size-fits-all. They also have to avoid speaking due to the fact that the Visitors' voices have a flanging effect to them, though the rebels later invent a device that mimics this. | |

In the Lamput episode "Dr. Lamput", Lamput is drenched in gray paint and thus winds up with a Coincidental Accidental Disguise of one of the many scientists who are seeking to capture him and bring him to their lab.

Discussed and Deconstructed in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, in the "Prisoner of War" episode when Indy is sent to a prison during World War I; a guard warns prisoners against any means of escape, warning many of them wouldn't work in this prison. He does bring up that anyone disguising themselves as a guard would be shot as a spy. | |

Spoofed in an episode of The Simpsons, in which, while trying to sneak out of Vegas away from their new wives, Homer and Ned Flanders pull two janitors into a broom closet to rob them of their uniforms. Punching sounds are audible, and the two janitors walk out content, leaving a beat-up Homer and Flanders. Similarly, in "Burns Baby Burns" Homer and Larry Burns are fleeing from the suddenly half-competent Police (who believe Homer to have kidnapped Larry), and duck into a costume store. The viewer is then shown a man who looks quite a bit like Homer, dressed as an organ-grinder leaving the store with a vaguely Larry-shaped man dressed as his monkey. The subversion comes when we see the clerk look into the store's bathroom, where Homer and Larry are actually hiding: "Either buy a costume or get out, fellas!" | |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty features an enemy uniform that can be worn by Raiden. It averts the Universal Uniform trope, if only in the mildest way: the uniform is a little too small for Raiden, and if an actual guard touches him, it instantly falls off, mandating a tactical withdrawal. | |

The Dirty Dozen: The Dozen won a war game by using this trope. Since the two sides only differentiated by colour of arm-band, it was surprisingly easy ("We're traitors"), although they did their best to ensure that the members of the team that the opposing colonel had gotten a close look at weren't part of the infiltration stage. The Dozen dressed as German soldiers for their actual mission in occupied France. |

Dark Souls: One PvP "troll" tactic is to dress up in an armor set worn by an enemy, and then stand completely still where that enemy usually stands. Depending on the armor set, this can make one practically identical to that enemy, meaning that Invaders (whom enemies cannot interact with) will sometimes run right past without noticing the player. Dark Souls III contains a ring that allows a hostile Invader to assume the appearance of a friendly phantom. Inattentive hosts will let their guard down... and then get stabbed in the back (probably literally). Members of Mound Maker covenant can take one step further by disguising themselves as a friendly summon since their name tags are marked as white instead of red, and they can actually attack the enemies in the host's world. |

In Bloodborne, you can also disguise yourself as hostile hunters to deceive the adversaries. Should you obtained Yahar'Gul Hunter Set, provided Vicar Amelia was alive, you can pretend yourself as the Tonitrus Hunter, it doesn't help that the Rifle Spear Hunter wouldn't disturb you as long as you keep the distance. You can also do this to the Cannon Hunter in Yahar'Gul. Another option is to disguise as the Old Hunters. Hostile hunters in Chalice Dungeons are completely prone to this. |

The Good Soldier Å vejk: Played with - the main protagonist is taken prisoner by the Austrian Army when wearing Russian Army uniform (he was trying if he looked well in it and whether the Russian uniform was "warm and comfortable") and mistaken first for a runaway Russian prisoner of war, and then, for a soldier of the Czechoslovak legion fighting against Austria-Hungary. Chiefly played for laughs, until he's sentenced to death (his confession that he put on the Russian uniform voluntarily and from his own free will, certainly did not help him). He got better though - as there is belatedly realised that there was no way for him to defect to Russians hundred miles behind the front lines. | |

In Volume 4 of Heroes, Peter is all set to try this after knocking out one of the black ops agents, until Tracy points out to him what a stupid idea it is (he still puts on the guy's uniform, though, because why say no to free Kevlar?). In a later episode, Sylar does the exact same thing, with much more success, although he has much more experience in performing that particular trick. Also used by Hiro and Ando, but Hiro's glasses and lack of English give him away, forcing Ando to stun the other soldiers with his power. |

Done a couple of times in Harry Potter, aided by Polyjuice Potion: In Chamber of Secrets, Harry and Ron disguise themselves as Malfoy's best friends Crabbe and Goyle to question him about the Chamber. In Deathly Hallows, the Trio Polyjuice themselves into three random Ministry employees to sneak into the Ministry of Magic. It works, but it's subverted in that the "random" part causes endless problems: Hermione and Ron are stuck in the jobs of their disguises not to blow their cover, and they have to bluff their way though; Ron's is man whose wife was on trial that same day. Luckily Harry realized quickly his disguise was a Death Eater. As all hell breaks loose he just starts giving orders and threatening people who try to stop them, getting a bunch of Muggleborns out through the front door. Then the real guys, they didn't knock out, return. And again when Hermione and Ron pretend to be Bellatrix and some Death Eater-friendly foreigner to break into Bellatrix's Gringotts vault. Subverted again when the Goblins had been warned that someone may try to enter the vault, and Hermione having Bellatrix's wand blows her cover instead of helping it. This was the essence of Fake!Moody's plan in Goblet of Fire, but done to get into Hogwarts. |

Samson vs. the Vampire Women features a mook trying to disguise himself as a wrestler that the titular hero is about to fight — only the mook has a substantially different body shape from that of the wrestler. This fact is painfully obvious since the wrestler — and the mook who takes over for him — wears nothing but tights and a mask. | |

A very odd example comes from Super Dimension Fortress Macross and its Robotech adaptation: Max is trapped onboard a Zentraedi warship and hides in a bathroom. An enemy soldier comes in and Max knocks him out and steals his uniform. The pockets come in handy for rescuing the three human prisoners. The oddity is that Max didn't disguise himself, but rather his Humongous Mecha in the uniform of the equally giant alien. | |

World of Warcraft features a few opportunities to disguise yourself as an enemy, usually only for the duration of a quest. There's also a very rare item that allows the player to disguise themselves as the enemy player faction (A Horde Player becomes disguised as the Alliance and an Alliance player becomes disguised as the Horde, respectively). Creative-minded players have even gone to the trouble of purposefully not completing those quests where a Disguise item is provided, and have used it in various ways, such as pranks, getting the drop on an enemy player (which is playing this trope straight), or just for fun. | |

The Mandalorian. In "The Believer", Din and Mayfeld mug a couple of Tank Trooper drivers for their armor, which lets Din go in disguise without having to reveal his face. Unfortunately while Din may be a highly skilled fighter and bounty hunter, he's clearly out of his depth when it comes to infiltrating an Imperial outpost while wearing something that's not his usual armor. He has no idea about basic Imperial trooper designations or protocols, he's really bad at making small talk, hiding his facial expressions, or just bluffing to maintain any sense of cover, and he constantly has to be bailed out by Mayfeld. | |

In Star Fox Adventures, after a certain point in the game, Fox gets a Sharpclaw disguise, which, although it allows him to activate certain pads, pick up certain objects, and not get attacked by real Sharpclaw or the floating drones, leaves him unable to use Krystal's staff. He can, however, get close, disengage the disguise, and maybe strike before the enemy can react. If the enemy sees him change, he will simply walk toward Fox, pushing him around instead of attacking, or, in Scales' case, posing threateningly while he waits for you to press A. | |

In Knights of the Old Republic, you have to do this twice: Once, you wear a stolen Sith uniform to gain access to the lower levels of Taris. There's also nothing to stop you running around the top level enjoying people's reaction to a Sith talking to them. You later trade the Sith uniform to the Hidden Beks leader who planned to invoke the trope by disguising some of his gang in case the Sith tried to take over the Lower City. Unfortunately, Carth was right in that the Sith decided to go with the "much more grand and deadly" idea of razing the planet Later you have to wear Sand People's robes to safely approach a Sand People Enclave. The Tusken Raiders realise you're an imposter on closer inspection but at least you get through the door without a massive fight breaking out. |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: "Hostage Crisis": Bane's droid commandos don the armor of the Republic guards Bane's group murdered in order to prevent those outside the Senate from figuring out what's going on too quickly. The disguise fails when they say their trademark "Roger, roger!" "Carnage of Krell": General Krell sends Rex and the 501st to stop a group of attacking Umbarans who are attempting this by stealing armor from dead clone troopers of the 212th Attack Battalion. Except it's then subverted. Turns out Krell sent a similar message to the 212th warning them of an Umbaran group wearing 501st armor, before giving both battalions the same coordinates. By the time both sides realize they're shooting at their own brothers, dozens of clones have already been killed in the firefight. "Slaves of the Republic": Anakin, Obi-Wan and Rex go undercover disguised as Zygerrians, or at least criminals and/or slavers wearing Zygerrian armour. Ahsoka, on the other hand, is disguised as a slave girl, which she's not especially thrilled about. "The Lawless": Obi-Wan infiltrates the Mandalorian capital of Sundari to rescue Duchess Satine by luring a supercommando onto the Twilight, and mugging him for his armour. |

A major controversy erupted over "No Russian" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in which the player goes undercover as a terrorist, infiltrates the villain's group, and then helps (optionally, the player can choose not to) gun down dozens of innocent civilians at a Russian airport. However, the villain abruptly kills the undercover player at the end of the mission, framing the US for the attack and prompting a Russian invasion of Washington DC. However, the villain was actually told of the undercover player by US General Shepherd himself, who wanted to start a war in which he could use the full power of the US military. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Frodo and Sam disguise themselves as orcs during the last leg of their journey. And no, it doesn't fit either of them right. Good thing it's dark. It also helps that the armor the orcs are wearing is rather mix-and-match to start with, so while the ill-fitting armor may be noticed, it's not an immediate giveaway. Used in The Silmarillion when Beren, Finrod, and his soldiers disguise themselves as Orcs. It doesn't work. In Beren and Lúthien, Lúthien disguises herself as a bat and Beren as a werewolf to infiltrate Morgoth's citadel, this one does work. |

Done in The Order of the Stick by Celia when she has to smuggle Belkar and Haley ( as well as Roy's corpse) out of Azure City. She disguises herself as a necromancer, calls Mr. Scruffy her evil cat familiar, and uses eyeliner to draw Xs over Belkar and Haley's eyes so that they look dead. She's almost found out when one of the guards calls her out on not being a necromancer, at which point Belkar "rises from the dead", kills the guard, and asks if anyone else wants to question his creature type. Surprisingly, it works. Far more common is the enemy disguising themselves as a hero. Sabine, being a shapeshifter, frequently disguises herself as guards or policemen. Nale spends a good part of War and XPs disguised as Elan (made easy given that they're identical twins), with Elan in jail on Nale's behalf. Zz'dtri disguises themselves as one of Tarquin's aides during the Order's time in the Empire of Blood (so that they can reveal themselves along with the rest of the Linear Guild). Lastly, in a bizarre case of Enemy Dressing as the Enemy, Tarquin disguises himself as Thog because he considers Thog to be too much of a loose cannon, but they can't let on that it's really Tarquin fighting them. |

The chunkheaded hero from Space Mutiny beats up a guard who's easily thirty kilograms and 25 cm smaller than he, yet his stolen uniform fits perfectly. And within minutes, the disguise is blown at the first checkpoint he comes to. A subversion, perhaps? Mocked in the MSTing of Space Mutiny when the beefy hero knocks out a smaller man in a tight-fitting uniform and then changes into it. | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: In a Villain Protagonist case Played for Drama, Shion kidnaps and impersonates her twin sister Mion throughout the second half of Meakashi-hen (and of Watanagashi-hen). She does this falsely believing Mion and her associates were partly responsible for her love interest Satoshi's disappearance; and taking an opportunity to avenge him. However, Shion's judgment is clouded by Mion's position as their yakuza family's favorite and successor—which sometimes requires her to pose as Daddy's Little Villain—as well as by Shion's own position as the Un-Favorite; thus justifying her Cain-and-Abel rivalry. After she offs the "evil" twin, this trope zig-zags as she reassumes her true identity, and becomes a Disguised Hostage Gambit / Fakeout Escape / False Innocence Trick. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The game allows certain races to do this for the quest where the Dragonborn must infiltrate and search the Thalmor Embassy by wearing a set of Hooded Thalmor Robes. An Argonian or Khajit Dragonborn is found out almost immediately ("Wait, is that a tail?"), but a human or elvish (or orc) Dragonborn can sneak through with relative ease, and an Altmer Dragonborn can actually order the Thalmor out of the way. What's interesting is that this isn't even hinted at anywhere in the game, leaving it entirely up to the player's initiative. In one of the Civil War quests, the Dragonborn poses as an enemy courier to deliver disinformation (forged documents) to an enemy commander. If s/he is wearing an enemy uniform, the commander will accept the documents without question. (If s/he is wearing anything else instead, the commander will question it, but will accept the explanation: it's easier to blend in without the uniform.) |

Metal Gear: An enemy uniform is used briefly in Metal Gear to allow Snake access through a checkpoint into the building with infamously faulty elevators. Meryl dresses as one of the guards in the first Metal Gear Solid. It works pretty well, considering that she even gets spotted at some point but is able to evade the guards just as well as the player could. It also means that the player has to keep an eye on the hip movements of the soldiers in that area while they're walking to find out which one is Meryl, because she has a distinctive way of walking. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty features an enemy uniform that can be worn by Raiden. It averts the Universal Uniform trope, if only in the mildest way: the uniform is a little too small for Raiden, and if an actual guard touches him, it instantly falls off, mandating a tactical withdrawal. In Portable Ops, you recruit your squad from captured enemy soldiers, so nearly all of them are dressed similarly if not identically to the guards found around the levels. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The game requires you to knock out a GRU officer and steal his uniform. The officer in question looks suspiciously like Raiden. When playing in most of the uniforms, you can't do anything too weird (rolling around, beating up guards, etc.) or you'll be caught. As the GRU officer, you're explicitly allowed to do anything you want, because "Raikov's just like that". It's probably because no-one wants to tick off the villain's boyfriend. Snake is required to dress in scientist garb twice, once to infiltrate a warehouse for a rescue mission and the other to infiltrate a military base... for a rescue mission for the same person. Armed guards don't spare a second glance (unless you stand in their way or something, in which case they kick you over for no reason before moving on), but if one of the actual scientists sees your face, they will stare at you for a while before sounding the alarm since they don't recognise you. Hence, turn away so the scientists can't see your face. It's anyone's guess how this works in the first place, since Snake doesn't look Russian at all, he's far from clean-shaven, and this works as normal while missing an eye (which, of course, isn't reflected on the ID badge). In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, you dress as... technically, potential friendly. Rebels, while seeing you in standard uniform, will warily move around you, even attacking you if you get too close. You have to build relationship with them by giving them items and attacking PMC troops. However, wearing their uniform will instantly give you their trust, which makes your life easier. |

Fallout: New Vegas lets you disguise yourself with certain factions' armor, which causes those factions to think you're a friendly, but also makes their enemies hostile to you. In other words, walking into an NCR Outpost wearing Caesar's Legion armor (or vice versa) is a good way to get yourself ventilated. Also, the Elite Mooks of the faction will see through your disguise if you get too close. | |

Bond takes out one of Blofeld's doctors and steals his clothing so he can infiltrate an operation room. After infiltrating Willard Whyte's top secret facility, Bond acquires a white lab coat and pretends to be from G section (which checks radiation badges) so he can get into the satellite-creation section and find out what's going on there. Moonraker. While in Drax's Elaborate Underground Base, Bond and Dr. Goodhead knock out two of Drax's employees and put on their yellow jumpsuits so they can masquerade as astronauts and board one of the space shuttles. In Octopussy Bond disuises himself as "Colonel Toro" to infiltrate an air base. It works like a charm, until he's caught by the real Toro. Downplayed in Spectre. Bond wears a SPECTRE ring he pried earlier from a dead mook in order to gather intel on the titular Illuminati-esque organization's leadership. |

In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, one particular mission the heroes are tasked with involves infiltrating Mikado. Which isn't exactly easy, as there's a guard posted in the Firmament caverns leading up to Mikado, so Fujiwara comes up with the idea of having the protagonists put on Samurai uniforms and fake Gauntlets so they can sneak in. Toki and Asahi also put on makeup to give the impression of age, as they're in their mid-teens and only people over 18 are qualified to be Samurai. As it turns out, the guard only checks for valid Gauntlets (which the heroes' Gauntlets all are); you can swap out the Samurai uniform for your other armor and it won't make a difference. They're able to sneak around fine until Merkabah sees through their ruses and points it out, getting the group imprisoned. | |

Gordon Frohman does this a few times in Concerned, though it's up for debate whether it's really dressing as the enemy considering he absolutely loves the Combine, but is so bad at helping them he may as well have been with the Resistance the whole time. The first time is for part of "Bike Lane 17", where he meets up with another group of Combine who take him to the bridge outpost. He ends up giving away that he's not a real Combine when he's unable to pass through the force fields on the bridgenote there was another minor instance where he gave it away during a trip in an APC, but then they hit a load screen and forgot all about it, and in the process of dumping the outfit, accidentally gets it stuck in the rotors of a gunship, which promptly crashes into the bridge and destroys everything. The second time is during the uprising after Gordon Freeman has returned, where Frohman's gotten tired of being shot at by the Combine, and decides the best way to avoid this is to dress as one of them. Of course, this just leads to the other rebels shooting him until he gives up and dresses as a medic, figuring that the rebels will appreciate his healing skills and the Combine won't shoot him in accordance with Subsection B of the resolutions of the Geneva International Conference. Of October. 1863. Neither part works out how he hopes, though, as another Combine blasts in with a shotgun the instant he finishes his monologue, and his insistence on performing surgery over just giving people medkits just gets even more Rebels killed. The last time is after Henderson quits, and Frohman decides to steal his Combine Elite uniform for a bit. This doesn't play into much before he ditches the outfit again. |

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this happens a bit more often. Red dresses as a Rocket to infiltrate one of their ops, but Blue robs him of the outfit at one point deep in enemy territory. Diamond also infiltrates the Team Galactic airliner by dressing as one of them (helped out by the fact that Galactic grunts are dumber than most teams'). Gold, of all people, even gets away with disguising himself as Guile Hideout - and because it physically resembled his own cursed suit of armor, this actually gets Archie killed! That wasn't part of Gold's plan, of course, but a welcome fringe benefit nonetheless. | |

Formerly shown in the trope's image example, there's Milanor of Yggdra Union. During the Save the Princess chapter of the story, there are two battlefields where he dons Imperial armor in order to infiltrate the fortress of Karona and look for Yggdra (the armor is given to him by a would-be traitor who's trying to get a specific prisoner freed). During the former battlefield, Milanor cannot do battle when disguised because the stationed soldiers all recognize him right away; your other forces have to sneak in after him and cause a distraction to let him slip through. His disguise is also seen through immediately by the sole guard of the prison, but because there's only one of her and you're between her and backup, you're able to fight and defeat her instead of getting a game over. | |

The usefulness of Changelings has been somewhat devalued as of Heart of the Swarm, due to, of all things, an Interface Screw. In all previous incarnations of StarCraft, you could click on any unit and select it. As of HotS, you can only select units you control; clicking on an enemy unit accomplishes nothing. So when you band-select all your Zealots and one of them follows the others around but is mysteriously un-selectable, you know exactly what's happening. | |

In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, your squad briefly takes the uniforms of enemy soldiers to ambush a convoy. Griggs comments that "you look like a clown in that outfit" and "nothing like a Russian", which means it's a good thing you're high up on a tower away from that convoy. | |

Big Finish Doctor Who In "The Beast of Orlok", the Doctor's companion Lucie does this without meaning to; after getting Covered in Mud during her escape from the castle, she's then mistaken for a Golem warrior. In I, Davros: Purity, a squad of Khaled commandoes are on a mission behind Thal lines, and at Davros' suggestion they change into enemy uniforms. This backfires when one of the survivors makes it back to their own lines only to be shot by an automated weapon system that is designed to recognise Thal uniforms. |

Red Faction features a slightly more realistic version in which your disguise will only stand up if you avoid getting closer than about ten feet to an enemy guard/camera for longer than around a second (you're basically public enemy #1 at this point). Even though it may be faster to run through guns blazing, you still need to switch clothing. The second time around, feel free to skip the disguise. | |

An extreme example happened in Sin City. Dwight McCarthy had previously been shot in the face, requiring surgery. This ended up changing his appearance drastically. The Big Bad, meanwhile, was planning to see a drug courier. Dwight had the courier killed and took his place in order to infiltrate the villain's estate. Since he was essentially disguised after his surgery, this allowed him easy access to the villain's mansion. | |

It is entirely possible to beat Fallout 2 in around eleven minutes, by swiping a suit of enemy power armor and waltzing into their nigh-impenetrable fortress.

Fallout 4 doesn’t allow you to get away with this. Once hostilities break out and one (or more) factions become your enemy, they will recognize you even if you are wearing their faction’s uniform. That said, a Railroad end game mission has you donning Brotherhood fatigues and infiltrating their Cool Airship to blow it up. Wearing their faction Powered Armor helps pull off the masquerade further. | |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: First Class: Agent Moira MacTaggert does a variation when she has to sneak into a strip club. In this case, it's "undressing" like the enemy... much to her partner's surprise. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Quicksilver dons the uniform (which conveniently fits him perfectly) of a Pentagon guard that he has Bound and Gagged so that he can reach Magneto's prison cell. |

Farscape. John Crichton infiltrates a Peacekeeper base disguised as an officer (a ploy that had worked successfully before) but encounters Big Bad Scorpius for the first time who casually says "Guards, that man is an imposter. Seize him." It turns out that Scorpius has the ability to see the heat signature of others, so he could tell Crichton wasn't Sebacean. How often this trope works depends on how merciful the writers are at the time. In "Liars, Guns and Money Part 1," Crichton and Aeryn knock out a couple of guards in the middle of their bank heist, but are ambushed by more guards before they've even finished pulling the clothes off. Crichton flees with a half-hearted "Uh... they went that way!" to the new arrivals. | |

Call of Duty: Black Ops II follows suit in a fashion, where one level starts off with you taking control of a deep-cover agent within Cordis Die, shooting at Yemeni soldiers and being assisted by the same mercenaries you've been shooting for most of the rest of the game, until the halfway point where you switch perspective back to the usual protagonist. The finale also has Menendez attempt this, stealing a SEAL's uniform to try and escape, though he's discovered almost immediately when one of the SEALs with you notices a friendly body (which turns out to be booby-trapped) stripped of his uniform. | |

Covert Front has a scene where Kara has to dress in German officer's clothing so that she can drive past a German checkpoint safely. This all hinges on none of the soldiers getting a good look at her and realizing that she is not only a woman, but also the spy whose photograph is plastered over all their bases; once in Lisbon, Kara still has to avoid all the soldiers guarding the roads. | |

As the uniform doesn't conceal his face, this doesn't work once he runs into someone who's already met him. It does fool guards who don't know him, despite the uniform not even being close to his size, thanks to the fact that the planet Spengo is populated entirely by idiots. | |

The others figure out Archer probably pulled this and try to find out which one is him. Lana picks out one of the attackers, realizes it's not Archer, knocks him out so he won't tip off the others about Archer's presence, then steals his outfit. Elsewhere, Pam takes out a guard and steals his outfit. Then Archer, Lana, and Pam all enter the same room and attack each other, not realizing who the others are. And then, the hostage takers realize they're in too deep and swap clothes with the hostages so they can walk out past the cops. | |

Fallout: It is entirely possible to beat Fallout 2 in around eleven minutes, by swiping a suit of enemy power armor and waltzing into their nigh-impenetrable fortress. This trope is also featured in the original, where you can wear robes and almost everyone in the Cathedral will assume you're one of them. Fallout: New Vegas lets you disguise yourself with certain factions' armor, which causes those factions to think you're a friendly, but also makes their enemies hostile to you. In other words, walking into an NCR Outpost wearing Caesar's Legion armor (or vice versa) is a good way to get yourself ventilated. Also, the Elite Mooks of the faction will see through your disguise if you get too close. This was after the aversion in Fallout 3; on the way to see the President in Raven Rock, it's very possible to mug an isolated Enclave soldier for issue weapon and armor. They don't react any differently, and your impersonation isn't lampshaded or handwaved. Fallout 4 doesn’t allow you to get away with this. Once hostilities break out and one (or more) factions become your enemy, they will recognize you even if you are wearing their faction’s uniform.

Heero Yuy in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is seen infiltrating enemy facilities almost every other episode. He's incredibly brazen about simply knocking out guards and taking their uniforms (which somehow always fit him, even though he's a 15 year old boy who's visibly shorter than most guards) and then waltzes right into the enemy base without a second thought. Trowa also does this once. Rather justified since they are trained operatives and probably were taught to do this sort of thing for their missions. Presumably this includes being adept at picking out guards who roughly match their own body size to steal uniforms form. | |

Super Mario Bros.: In Paper Mario 64, Princess Peach wins the Sneaky Parasol in a quiz show hosted by Bowser's guards. After Mario and his team defeat Huff N. Puff, Princess Peach's use of the Parasol allows her to magically transform into one of Bowser's Mooks and allow her to sneak around her castle without fear of being caught, let alone obtain information of what Bowser is planning so Mario and his team are further prepared. However, Kammy Koopa isn't fooled... In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Princess Peach dons an X-Naut uniform in order to get information from her captor. The disguise is flawless, despite X-Nauts being around half of Peach's height. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Kylie Koopa shows up disguised as a Shroob and shoots away all the enemies with a blaster when you get caught on the Shroob mothership. In Super Mario 3D World, certain levels have a Power-Up that lets you dress as a Goomba in order to keep from getting attacked by enemies. It works perfectly despite the player character's legs being noticeably exposed. |

In Paper Mario 64, Princess Peach wins the Sneaky Parasol in a quiz show hosted by Bowser's guards. After Mario and his team defeat Huff N. Puff, Princess Peach's use of the Parasol allows her to magically transform into one of Bowser's Mooks and allow her to sneak around her castle without fear of being caught, let alone obtain information of what Bowser is planning so Mario and his team are further prepared. However, Kammy Koopa isn't fooled... | |

In Final Fantasy VI, when Locke infiltrates South Figaro, you can switch between Locke's normal outfit, a merchant outfit, and an Imperial guardsman outfit; if you rescue Celes while wearing the guardsman outfit, Locke hides in plain sight as the enemy soldiers walk out, and there's a Shout-Out to Star Wars during the actual rescue. | |

A major part of the Chapter 2 story mission in Final Fantasy X-2 revolves finding and stealing the appropriate mook-gear to infiltrate the enemies hideout in Guadosalam. Despite the fact that this is mentioned during several of the battles with the mook's bosses, they never realize that those stolen uniforms are being used for infiltration even when you're talking to the mook's bosses in the base. | |

Indiana Jones: Double Subversion in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indy first beats up a scrawny Nazi guard and tries to put on his uniform, except the uniform's too small for him. Luckily, he gets discovered by a much larger German officer who mistakes him for a guard, and Indy is able to knock him out and steal his uniform while the officer is busy berating him. It fits like a glove. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Indiana knocked out a Nazi officer at a book burning rally, leading to a too-close encounter with Der Führer himself. Indiana knocked out a waiter on a zeppelin and took his place. Inverted in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, where the American army convoy at the start of the movie are Russians. At the start of the World War II prologue sequence in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Indy is already captured and wearing a Nazi uniform, suggesting he was doing this before he was captured. However, already wearing the uniform means he has no trouble disguising himself again once he escapes his initial captivity. |

Space Quest has you do this in homage to the Stormtrooper disguise in Star Wars. Roger has to infiltrate the Sarien base, which is, naturally, full of Sariens who tend to open fire on humans on sight. Fortunately, Roger arrives in a laundry room where he can gain a uniform from the dryer, and it even has an ID card in the pocket. (Unfortunately, this disguise only fools them so long as you wear the helmet, something you might lose while making your way towards your goal.) | |

The Hitman series has this as a key gameplay mechanic. No matter who you knock out, their clothes will always fit, and the others will never notice that their friend is now a bald white guy with a barcode tattooed onto the back of his head, the exceptions being the levels in Silent Assassin and Hitman (2016). In Silent Assassin's case, it's due to each guard uniform having an ID tag, which is used to determine which specific area they must patrol. If your disguise's ID does not match the area you're in, the guards will attack you. In the case of 2016, certain NPCs are tagged as 'Enforcers' who know everyone on their payroll and will see through any disguise in the family they belong to: the head chef will know the faces of every one of their waiters, for example, but will be fooled by a janitor's uniform. | |

In Wilhuff Tarkin, Hero of the Rebellion, it's revealed that the uniforms of the Rebel Navy troopers are identical to the ones used by their Imperial Navy counterparts before the widespread adoption of the Death Star Troopers, only the Imperials had the Imperial Crest on a patch on their left shoulder. Justified in that the uniform style is described as quite old and used by both the Republic Navy, from which the Imperial Navy inherited it, and many planetary security forces, many of which were disbanded with the Rebels buying or stealing their uniforms and weapons-or just belonging to surviving planetary defense forces whose worlds support the Rebellion. | |

Red vs. Blue: To fool the Reds into thinking they have more than one freelancer, Tucker and Caboose are ordered to draw the Red's fire while wearing black armour. How do they get black armour? By jumping through a very experimental teleporter. Later in the series, Simmons defects to Blue team, originally because he was shunned by the others, but when Church returns, he begins a charade to try and learn information. To get the effect, he paints his armour blue (although he misses a few spots), but it is subverted in that Church is not fooled by this disguise for one second. Church even takes advantage of the situation by making Simmons do chores and make him lunch... Season 12 takes this trope, and ends up deconstructing it. Two soldiers dressing as the enemy works okay for the regular guards, but Locus sees through it, and kills one, while the other is mistaken for a EOD specialist, and called over to remove a sticky explosive that his allies have planted and dies when Felix blows up the building. |

Star Trek: The Original Series: The episode "Patterns of Force". Lampshaded and subverted. Kirk and Spock attempt to do this on a Nazi planet to try and get close to the Fuhrer, who happens to be a Federation citizen. Not only does Spock question the logic of doing so (only to concede that it is in that circumstance), but they end up getting caught shortly afterward because of a lapse of protocol they didn't know about. Double-subverted when they try it later and manage to succeed. McCoy later on beams down dressed as a Nazi military doctor upon Kirk's instructions—implying that the Enterprise has a whole wardrobe department stocked with historical uniforms and other clothing (this was before the replicator, which would have made more sense). Because Kirk and Spock have already been caught, and McCoy's boots don't fit quite right, McCoy is captured as well. In "The Enterprise Incident", Kirk dresses as a Romulan (including getting an "ear job") to infiltrate a Romulan ship and steal its cloaking device. Kirk and Spock also disguise themselves as gangsters in A Piece of the Action. Episode "The Return of the Archons". After Kirk and Spock knock out two of Landru's Lawgiver guards, they don the Lawgivers' robes and pretend to be them. |

Said soldier strikes up a pleasant conversation and Alex just rolls with it, hoping to slip past without a fight. Unfortunately for him, said soldier knew who he was from the get-go and knocks out Alex the second the guy turns his back. | |

One Piece: During the G8 Filler Arc, the Straw Hats minus Zoro (who was captured first) are forced to do this. They are eventually picked out as fakes when the commander gets reports of suspicious unknown Marines, (Usopp and Robin), cooks (Sanji and Luffy), doctors (Chopper) and nurses (Nami) are making trouble around the base. In Marineford arc Galdino aka Mr 3 disguises himself as one of Ace's executioners, and actually helps Luffy free Ace using his wax powers to make a key to his cuffs. In Dressorsa arc, Usopp and Robin disguise themselves as Domflamingo Mooks to infliterate Doffy's underground base and take down Sugar who has turned half the population into toys. They are almost successful but are sussed out by Trebol one of Domflamingo's Co-Dragons. In One Piece Film: Gold The Straw Hats minus Luffy, Franky and Zoro actually diguise themselves as World Nobles to fool Gild Tesoro's mooks. Amusingly while Nami and Usopp act as the nobles and Robin and Sanji as a servant and armoured guard, Brook the living skeleton is the one who plays the Sex Slave. In the Leverly arc Sabo (a Revoutionary) also diguises himself as an Noble's amoured guard, ironically acting as bodyguard to his own despicbale brother Stelly. In the Wano arc finale at Onigashima, the alliance: the Straw Hats, the Red Scabbards, Minks and Kidd's crew are all fitted out in Beast Pirates uniforms thanks to Kin'emon's clothing creating Devil Fruit. Suprisngly despite most of their faces being known it works for awhile, before Luffy, Zoro and Kidd blow their cover and war breaks out. |

EverQuest: Secrets of Faydwer features a task called "Disrupt the Workshop", in which you are required to disguise yourself with a clockwork gnome illusion. This allows you to walk freely throughout S.H.I.P. Workshop without drawing the attention of most of its otherwise hostile inhabitants. Since you are allowed to refresh the disguise at will as long as the task is in your journal, this can be abused to make any endeavors in the zone much easier. | |

Pokémon: In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the main character has to dress as a member of Team Rocket to infiltrate the building they just took over. It actually makes sense that it works. Too bad your rival shows up and blows your cover. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this happens a bit more often. Red dresses as a Rocket to infiltrate one of their ops, but Blue robs him of the outfit at one point deep in enemy territory. Diamond also infiltrates the Team Galactic airliner by dressing as one of them (helped out by the fact that Galactic grunts are dumber than most teams'). Gold, of all people, even gets away with disguising himself as Guile Hideout - and because it physically resembled his own cursed suit of armor, this actually gets Archie killed! That wasn't part of Gold's plan, of course, but a welcome fringe benefit nonetheless. Looker, being a spy and all, does this a few times. One part of the 2007 fangame Pokémon Illusion requires the player to put on a Team Rocket outfit for infiltration purposes. Then Giovanni recognizes them when he addresses the grunts. Whoops! |

Since Mandalorians are always wearing their heavily customized armor and rarely taking of their helmets in public, it's very easy for Zayne Carrick to impersonate the evil scientist Demagol to free all of Demagol's prisoners in Knights of the Old Republic. And in a much more shocking case only minutes later, Demagol manages to overpower Rohlan while being put back into his armor for transport, and then drugs him up enough to be in a coma for half a year, during which he impersonates Rohlan. | |

Planescape: Torment allows the main character several methods of escape from the beginning "dungeon"—including stealing one of the "guard's" uniforms or getting oneself disguised as a zombie (which are commonplace). Both of which result in the only change to the character's outward appearance (aside from what kind of weapon he's holding) in the entire game. | |

Chrono Cross features a particularly goofy example. Access to the inner sanctum of Viper Manor requires the heroes to dress up in the uniforms of three guards. Three radically different-looking party members will all look the same, but pretty puffy pink pooch Poshul doesn't even bother putting on a uniform. Nobody seems to notice two guards hanging out with a neon-pink talking dog. | |

Meryl dresses as one of the guards in the first Metal Gear Solid. It works pretty well, considering that she even gets spotted at some point but is able to evade the guards just as well as the player could. It also means that the player has to keep an eye on the hip movements of the soldiers in that area while they're walking to find out which one is Meryl, because she has a distinctive way of walking. | |

Final Fantasy: Selphie and her squad in Final Fantasy VIII do this to infiltrate the Galbadian missile base; hijinks ensue. In Final Fantasy VI, when Locke infiltrates South Figaro, you can switch between Locke's normal outfit, a merchant outfit, and an Imperial guardsman outfit; if you rescue Celes while wearing the guardsman outfit, Locke hides in plain sight as the enemy soldiers walk out, and there's a Shout-Out to Star Wars during the actual rescue. Final Fantasy VII: When the president of the evil MegaCorp Shinra Inc. crosses the ocean by ship, Cloud and his party sneak aboard by wearing Shinra soldier uniforms. Red XIII, who is a lion-like quadruped, experiences trouble with the charade as he staggers about trying to walk on two legs. Also, his tail is showing. Spoofed in Final Fantasy IX. Zidane and Blank steal Pluto Knight armor, and comment about the armor being sweaty, stinky, and breadcrumbs being in the pockets. A major part of the Chapter 2 story mission in Final Fantasy X-2 revolves finding and stealing the appropriate mook-gear to infiltrate the enemies hideout in Guadosalam. Despite the fact that this is mentioned during several of the battles with the mook's bosses, they never realize that those stolen uniforms are being used for infiltration even when you're talking to the mook's bosses in the base. In the Heavensward expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, Thancred is seen doing this when the game switches to him and Krile via event movie, infiltrating the Castrum fortress |

Serenity: It was said about Reavers that they skinned people alive, raped them repeatedly, ate their flesh and then murdered them. They kept the skins as trophies, their spaceships were covered with blood, and they even tied whole corpses to the front of their ships. Knowing this, Mal employed it in the Big Damn Movie, using his murdered friends as disguise. The late Shepherd Book had the "honour" of being the centre on Serenity's nose. It worked, as they went through the Reavers' territory and back, and survived. | |

Horatio Hornblower uses this once or twice: A few times he flies the enemy flag on approach before whipping it down and running up the Union Jack before opening fire. Not an uncommon tactic in naval warfare of the time but to be legal, the correct ensign had to be flying prior to commencement of active hostilities. Napoleon later uses this to trump up capital charges against him, even though Hornblower had observed the correct form. He does wear an enemy uniform to escape France with Bush and Brown; his French hosts whip up three merchant marine uniforms for them to wear, and since Hornblower already knows French (and Brown becomes fluent in their extended stay), they pass easily. |

He sneaks many of his soldiers close to Shingen and Kenshin's camp by having them dress in ragged clothes and carry only crude weapons so that Shingen and Kenshin will mistakenly think they're village recruits for Kennyo's Ikko Ikki. When Shingen corners the rest of Mitsunari's army, thinking that he's hopelessly outnumbered, the "Ikko Ikki" shed their disguises and rush to help Mitsunari. | |

Robot Chicken parodied and deconstructed this when characters from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero are sent to Afghanistan to fight against the Taliban. Three of the Joes dress as Taliban terrorists... and are then immediately gunned down by American soldiers who mistake them for actual terrorists. | |

In Stranger Things, season 3, Joyce, Hopper and Murray use this to infiltrate the secret Russian base. Made easier by the fact that Murray speaks perfect Russian, and is able to (mostly) talk their way through, claiming they are "recent arrivals". Of course, Joyce and Hopper don't speak a word of Russian, but Murray just instructs them to smile and nod if anyone asks them questions, which works out perfectly. Somehow, nobody seems to notice either that Joyce is female (even though there is not a single female guard ever seen on camera in the whole place), or that there are bullet holes in the chest area of both their uniforms. Justified in that the whole place is in chaos due to a security breach alarm, and people are shown just running past them without a second look since they are, after all, dressed just like all the other guards in the area. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The game requires you to knock out a GRU officer and steal his uniform. The officer in question looks suspiciously like Raiden. When playing in most of the uniforms, you can't do anything too weird (rolling around, beating up guards, etc.) or you'll be caught. As the GRU officer, you're explicitly allowed to do anything you want, because "Raikov's just like that". It's probably because no-one wants to tick off the villain's boyfriend. Snake is required to dress in scientist garb twice, once to infiltrate a warehouse for a rescue mission and the other to infiltrate a military base... for a rescue mission for the same person. Armed guards don't spare a second glance (unless you stand in their way or something, in which case they kick you over for no reason before moving on), but if one of the actual scientists sees your face, they will stare at you for a while before sounding the alarm since they don't recognise you. Hence, turn away so the scientists can't see your face. It's anyone's guess how this works in the first place, since Snake doesn't look Russian at all, he's far from clean-shaven, and this works as normal while missing an eye (which, of course, isn't reflected on the ID badge). |

Warhammer 40,000: In Sandy Mitchell's Ciaphas Cain novel Death Or Glory, Cain and his group travel in stolen ork vehicles. This does distract the orks, but when they come into firing range of an Imperial force, they nearly get fired on before they manage vox communication, and the force demands proof. In Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novel Nightbringer, an eldar Pirate approaches an Imperial vessel broadcasting that it was the Gallant, an Imperial ship. Unfortunately for him, someone onboard knew that particular ship had been destroyed five years earlier. In James Swallow's Warhammer 40,000 Blood Angels novel Deus Encarmine, Blood Angels steal a tank and use it to mask their approach to the Word Bearers camp. In Space Marine Battles, Lysander hides from the Iron Warriors looking through their entire fortress for him by putting on the rags of mutants inhabiting Kulgarde's underground and keeping to the shadows, where his Space Marine bulk isn't as noticeable. Deconstructed in Ahriman: Exile. Astraeos disguises himself as one of Amon’s lieutenants in order to infiltrate the Sycorax and rescue his master Ahriman. He manages to get aboard without incident, since they were expecting “his� return, but because the Thousand Sons wear highly distinctive and personalized armour, and because the sorcerer whose armour he’s wearing is well known for having a twin brother who never leaves his side, the maintenance crews realize that something is wrong the second Astraeos steps out of his shuttle alone and quickly sound the alarm. |

Doctor Who: In at least four stories, the Doctor and his allies manage to disable a Dalek, remove the mutant inside, and substitute one of their number. How a whole person fits in there, when the mutant that came out is not much bigger than a human head, is never made clear. Perhaps in the Whoniverse everything's Bigger on the Inside? At other times, people have fooled Daleks by dressing up as Robomen or Dalek troopers. In the former case, the deception was falling apart, but was saved when the Dalek were distracted by an attack by people without disguises. In the latter, the deception worked until they were seen in the self destruct chamber. Done in "The War Games", where the Doctor and Zoe put on the enemy's glasses to pretend they are on the enemy's side and find out what is going on. Goes hideously wrong in "Planet of the Daleks", where the leader of the Thal task force, Taron, dresses in a Spiridon robe. This only means that one of the other Thals goes up to a random Spiridon thinking it's Taron and nearly gets himself clubbed to death. In "Genesis of the Daleks", the Doctor and Harry dress in Thal uniform in order to rescue Sarah Jane. The Doctor gestures to the guard, who comes over, and the Doctor blocks his exit while Harry goes in for a Groin Attack that leaves him unconscious. Later Harry dresses in the Kaled Military Elite uniform to rescue the Doctor from Nyder. In "Pyramids of Mars", the Doctor strips the bandages and outer casing from a Mummy Robot and dons them in order to sneak explosives into the Osirian ship. Subverted in "The Runaway Bride"; the Doctor steals a guard's uniform and uses it to infiltrate a secret chamber — but the enemies aren't fooled for a second. "The End of Time" — how did the cactus-person Vinvocci get that guard's helmet over his head, anyway? Ow. "Time Heist": After being thought to be dead, Saibra and Psi return disguised as bank security. Psi had to appropriate a uniform from somewhere, while Saibra can just mimic the uniform with her holographic shell. Saibra's shapeshifting ability allows the writers to play with the "faceless goons remove helmets to reveal allies" aspect of the trope, which initially seems to be ruled out by the fact that one of the security guards already has his helmet off; that one is Saibra wearing a false face. "The Zygon Inversion": Kate Lethbridge-Stewart impersonates the Zygon who tried to kill her (she took care of it) to infiltrate Bonnie's ranks and learn her plan. "The Timeless Children": On Graham's suggestion, Ravio and Yedlarmi empty out and deactivate four Cybermen suits for them and Yaz to wear so they can hide. This later allows them to save Ethan's life when he's cornered by actual Cybermen. |

Call of Duty: In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, your squad briefly takes the uniforms of enemy soldiers to ambush a convoy. Griggs comments that "you look like a clown in that outfit" and "nothing like a Russian", which means it's a good thing you're high up on a tower away from that convoy. A major controversy erupted over "No Russian" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in which the player goes undercover as a terrorist, infiltrates the villain's group, and then helps (optionally, the player can choose not to) gun down dozens of innocent civilians at a Russian airport. However, the villain abruptly kills the undercover player at the end of the mission, framing the US for the attack and prompting a Russian invasion of Washington DC. However, the villain was actually told of the undercover player by US General Shepherd himself, who wanted to start a war in which he could use the full power of the US military. The level "Executive Order" in Call of Duty: Black Ops has Mason and his squadmates steal uniforms from Soviet soldiers to infiltrate the Baikonur Cosmodrome, recover a captured agent and foil a rocket launch. Call of Duty: Black Ops II follows suit in a fashion, where one level starts off with you taking control of a deep-cover agent within Cordis Die, shooting at Yemeni soldiers and being assisted by the same mercenaries you've been shooting for most of the rest of the game, until the halfway point where you switch perspective back to the usual protagonist. The finale also has Menendez attempt this, stealing a SEAL's uniform to try and escape, though he's discovered almost immediately when one of the SEALs with you notices a friendly body (which turns out to be booby-trapped) stripped of his uniform. In the "Clockwork" mission of Call of Duty: Ghosts, the player and their team infiltrate a Federation base wearing enemy uniforms, spending about half the mission in disguise. |

Strangely averted in Blake's 7 despite the Federation troopers being Gas Mask Mooks (though another rebel force does this for an attempted coup in "Rumours of Death"). When Avon and Vila do use this trope in "Killer", they're wearing squeaky vinyl radiation suits and dark glasses that make them look like giant walking bugs, so they have no trouble hiding their identity. The Villain of the Week in "Countdown" disguises himself as a rebel soldier, but that backfires when he's roped into the search for himself just as he's about to escape. Then later a rebel is assigned to guard Blake; guess who that turns out to be... Apparently played straight in "Aftermath", when new main cast member Del Tarrant is introduced posing as a Federation captain. Whether you believe his story that he stole a uniform, or that he's actually a Federation deserter, is up to you. |

Star Wars Rebels has this as a relatively frequent occurrence. "Breaking Ranks": Ezra goes undercover as an Imperial cadet, while Chopper gets an Imperial paintjob. "Rebel Resolve": Chopper gets a new and improved Imperial paintjob to infiltrate an Imperial cruiser to steal information on where Kanan is being held. "The Siege of Lothal": Kanan mugs a stormtrooper for disguise, and later on Ezra dons his cadet disguise again. "Stealth Strike": Kanan and Rex go undercover as stormtroopers to free captured rebels, with Chopper along in his Imperial paintjob. While this should be easy for Rex since he was a clone trooper during the Clone Wars (i.e. the original stormtroopers), it turns out he's put on some weight during his retirement. "A Princess on Lothal": Kanan and Ezra go undercover as a stormtrooper and cadet to meet Princess Leia so she doesn't blow her cover. This leads directly to the sight of Kanan charging an AT-AT with his lightsaber, still disguised as a stormtrooper! "The Antilles Extraction": It's Sabine's turn to go undercover as an Imperial cadet, this time to extract some would-be defectors at an Imperial pilot academy. "Hera's Heroes": Ezra goes undercover as a scout trooper, and Chopper yet again has his Imperial paintjob, in order to help Hera recover a family heirloom from her old house, which has been occupied by Imperials. "An Inside Man": Kanan and Ezra go undercover first as factory workers, then as a stormtrooper and scout trooper respectively, while sneaking around Lothal City's Imperial complex. Chopper's also along, repainted as per usual. "Through Imperial Eyes": Kanan and Rex are back disguised as stormtroopers, Chopper's sporting his paintjob, and Ezra, thanks to Agent Kallus, winds up impersonating an Imperial officer, specifically Lieutenant Lyste. "Double Agent Droid": Chopper goes undercover with his paintjob yet again — and this time it proves to be a liability, as the same droid with the same paintjob causing trouble has been seen too many times, and he gets recognized. Wedge also goes undercover as a TIE pilot. "Jedi Night": Ezra and Sabine don Imperial pilot uniforms and helmets while infiltrating the Imperial complex to rescue Hera. "Wolves and a Door": Ezra and Sabine mug two scout troopers to infiltrate the Imperial excavation at the Lothal Jedi Temple. "Family Reunion — and Farewell": When the rebels enter the Imperial complex as part of their plan to rid Lothal of the Empire once and for all, most of the heroes are playing Trojan Prisoners, with Rex as a stormtrooper and Kallus as an Imperial officer. |

Used in a couple of the Horatio Hornblower telefilms. In "Even Chance", Hornblower refuses to strike the French flag on the ship they've just captured; unlike when he does this in the books, he keeps it flying when he ambushes the three corvettes attacking his home ship despite being reminded of the Articles of War and only puts the British flag up once the French surrender. In "The Duchess and the Devil", he has his crew dress in the French coats left behind on a prize vessel to try and slip past some Spanish ships in the fog; unfortunately one of the Spanish officers has personal knowledge of that ship's capture. They change back after they're forced to surrender. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III has the turtles do this with a justification. The established rules of time-travel in the movie state that in order to go into the past, the turtles would have to swap places- and uniforms- with whoever is holding the scepter in feudal Japan. It just so happened that the ones in the past were the Daimyo's honor guard. Luckily, the ceremonial samurai masks allow the Turtles to disguise their faces as well. | |

Happens multiple times in Mother 3, and two times the enemy helps you disguise yourself. When the team infiltrates Thunder Tower, the Pig Masks mistake Lucas for their commander, and give him his "usual" clothes, and Pigmask outfits for the rest of the party. Later, Lucas and Boney infiltrate the Chimera Labs and are given Pigmask uniforms to complete their masquerade as part-time workers. Given who the aforementioned "commander" is, this makes sense. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader: A possible Iconoclast option when trying to rescue Abell Haneumann from the Chaos Cultists in the Adeptus Mechanicus temple on Rykad Minoris is to dress up in the gear of some dead cultists and relying on subterfuge to infiltrate the temple, smash the generators and wipe them out without a direct fight. It works resoundingly well, but your Dogmatic party members will disapprove of the action as Imperial Doctrine considers adopting the symbols of Chaos to be heresy... and that Chaos iconography has possible corrupting influence. | |

In Gundam 0080, Misha draws the Federation's attention with the Kämpfer while the rest of the Cyclops Team infiltrates the base to destroy the Gundam NT-1. Unlike many examples, the uniforms fit perfectly because they were obtained in advance; what gives them away is Bernie failing geography forever. Bernie says that he is from Australia and says at Christmas time the city was covered in snow-this is possibly understandable as he is a Zeon and may not know much about Earth since he living in a colony. Heero Yuy in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is seen infiltrating enemy facilities almost every other episode. He's incredibly brazen about simply knocking out guards and taking their uniforms (which somehow always fit him, even though he's a 15 year old boy who's visibly shorter than most guards) and then waltzes right into the enemy base without a second thought. Trowa also does this once. Rather justified since they are trained operatives and probably were taught to do this sort of thing for their missions. Presumably this includes being adept at picking out guards who roughly match their own body size to steal uniforms form. In Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Anavel Gato accomplishes the hijacking of the first episode by walking into the hanger while wearing a Federation uniform provided by a confederate. He complains that the uniform's rank pins are too low. |

In The Saboteur, Sean is able to knock out a Nazi soldier and take their jacket. However, he must only stealth kill to get the outfit as the blood would immediately give him away. Also it is noted in the How To part of the game that Sean reeks so much of booze and smokes that if he was to get to close to the Nazis for too long they will be able to spot him out. That, and he only ever takes the jacket and headgear, and leaves the pants and boots alone. While it's justified for a few reasons (there's usually too much risk to spend time putting on the full uniform and, in any case, the guy's likely soiled himself as he goes down - not pretty) it does result in him being out of uniform from the waist down. Also, for whatever reason, Sean also refuses to wear the armband as well. | |

In an episode of Quack Pack, Dewey and Louie don the clothes of the human henchmen of the stock villain of the week (some weird pale-faced woman bent on world domination) in order to rescue their brother Huey and foil her evil scheme. Once again, the bad guy in question doesn't notice the species difference. | |

Inverted and played with in Our Little Adventure. While Brian Souballo doesn't impersonate any of the heroes of the story, he magically impersonates a neutral wizard he tried and failed to recruit to his side. The Emperor goes to the very elven metropolis he's planning on invading and commits a mass murder while disguised as the neutral wizard. This way if the wizard goes to the city to warn the elves, he will instead be arrested. | |

Force 10 from Navarone: The main characters are all either spies or guerilla fighters operating in occupied territory, so you betcha: Barnsby and Mallory kill two Chetnik soldiers who were tracking them, but are later informed that they were actually Partisan spies who had infiltrated the Chetnik camp. Whoops. Force Ten uses the same tactic with dressing two Partisan soldiers as Chetniks when they raid their base later on to retrieve several prisoners. And again when they infiltrate a German base to steal the explosives they need to blow up the dam, they pose as Wehrmacht soldiers. |

The Murderbot Diaries. In the first novel, a SecUnit belonging to another company tries to kill Murderbot and kidnap Dr Mensah. After foiling this plan, Murderbot exchanges components and armor marked with its company logo for those of the other SecUnit, with Mensah covering what remains in mud to obscure the difference. Feigning comm damage, Murderbot then hands Mensah over to the villains as a Trojan Prisoner. | |

Parodied in Spaceballs. Lone Starr and Barf lure two Spaceballs into their Winnebago, beat the crap out of them, and come out with their uniforms. Barf's is perfectly fitted, even though he's much larger than either of the soldiers...and has a tail... And then when they make their escape, the same two guys are in their underwear...and have Spaceball helmets on, even though Lone Starr and Barf also stole their helmets. | |

Family Guy: Spoofed in an episode where Peter beats up a hotel bellhop and steals his uniform (which doesn't fit) only for Brian to tell him they don't need disguises because the person they're after has no idea who they are in the first place. Peter then beats up and steals the outfit of a second man who just so happens to be just as fat as Peter and wearing an exact copy of Peter's normal clothes. In "Road to Germany", Stewie, Brian, and Mort stole Nazi uniforms (with McCain Palin button on Stewie's uniform) to infiltrate a nuclear facility. |

The Arrival. While snooping around the alien Elaborate Underground Base, Zane Zaminsky is about to be discovered by guards so he takes the risk of stepping into the device they use to disguise themselves as humans. It creates a whole new body for him that gets him past the guards, but unfortunately Zane doesn't speak the aliens' language, so when one tries to speak to him a short time later he has to fight his way out. | |

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty features a Zerg organism, the "Changeling", which is capable of assuming the identity of the enemy race, clothes and all, and do some recon. Units won't be able to spot or attack the Changeling without the player's direct intervention in the form of explicit order to attack what appears to be an ally. The usefulness of Changelings has been somewhat devalued as of Heart of the Swarm, due to, of all things, an Interface Screw. In all previous incarnations of StarCraft, you could click on any unit and select it. As of HotS, you can only select units you control; clicking on an enemy unit accomplishes nothing. So when you band-select all your Zealots and one of them follows the others around but is mysteriously un-selectable, you know exactly what's happening. |

Transformers (2007) demonstrates the Decepticons being more actively... deceptive by disguising themselves as various kinds of devastating military tech used by the Puny Earthlings they plan on later exterminating. The effectiveness of this varies — Blackout infiltrates a military base in Qatar as a Sikorsky MH-53 helicopter, but a handful of soldiers realize something's amiss after noticing his tail number, which belonged to a helicopter that was confirmed destroyed days prior. Starscream meanwhile manages to evade notice as an F-22 Raptor fighter jet — when several actual F-22 pilots come to fight the Decepticons in Mission City, Starscream momentarily blends in with the squadron, giving them mere moments to spot the imposter before he takes out half of them. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Faces" Chakotay has to disguise himself as a Vidiian guard. Another guard gets suspicious because he doesn't recognise Chakotay, but fortunately the Vidiians are involved in Organ Theft because they're infected by a Body Horror disease, so Chakotay says he just had a new face grafted on. In "Warlord" Kes has her body taken over by the eponymous warlord Tiernan. Tuvok tries to infiltrate his palace by posing as one of the Faceless Goons, but as Kes has Mind Melded with Tuvok previously, Tiernan (who is making use of her mental powers) recognises his thought patterns. Tom Paris mentions this trope in regards to The Adventures of Captain Proton, a holodeck program based on cheesy 1930's sci-fi film serials. As Tom created the program, he's already arranged for the supervillain's mooks to have the requisite face-concealing helmets. In "Unimatrix Zero" Janeway, Tuvok, and B'Elanna infiltrate a Borg cube and deliberately get themselves assimilated (some Applied Phlebotinum allowed them to keep their individuality). |

Played with during one sequence in the Belisarius Series, the title character has to escape from a city full of bad guys out for his blood. He needs a uniform to escape, but with the thousands of guards looking for him, he has difficulty finding a uniform that's both the right size, the right type, and being worn by a guard he can take out quietly. Several times he pulls a Bavarian Fire Drill on guards he runs into to get them to search someplace else. Eventually he finds the uniform, and makes it out of the city. | |

Played so painfully straight in one episode of Mighty Max. Needing to dress as members of a cult, Max, Norman, and Virgil mug some average-size cultists and steal their robes. It's worth noting that Norman is over 7 feet tall and heavily muscled, Max is a skinny kid, and Virgil is a four foot tall chicke...er...fowl. The robes, of course, fit perfectly. The same thing happened in another episode, this time involving aliens. | |

Several missions in City of Heroes and City of Villains give you an enemy disguise as a temporary power, allowing you to move freely among enemies while it's active. | |

Conan the Barbarian (1982). Conan knocks out a member of the Doom Cult to infiltrate Thulsa Doom's lair. It doesn't work however, as Conan gave a stolen amulet to a guard to establish his bona fides. Suspicious, the guard takes it to his boss, and they easily locate Conan among the thousands of cult members simply because he's moving and acting differently from the fervent cultists. | |

Big M. dresses as one of his enemies, Smart S., in Season 3 episode 22 of Happy Heroes to subject him to a frameup and make him look like he's been causing trouble with the people in the city when he actually isn't. | |

Some missions in Medal of Honor games require dressing up as a German officer and displaying credentials to gain access to valuable targets like a submarine or rail gun. Someone always eventually sees through your disguise, sometimes almost immediately (such as in Frontline, where the first person you show your confiscated ID to recognizes you as an imposter). Kinda parodied in Medal of Honor: Rising Sun where you have to steal one officer's uniform, and upon showing the pass for the officer on railroad station's door, looks at you for a moment and says: "Damn, that just must be other photo of you!" and opens the door for you. |

The Chronicles of Dorsa: An assassin in the uniform of an Imperial Army soldier attacks Tasia after she becomes the Empress, with the fact being covered up afterward because morale could be badly affected were the real soldiers aware more infiltrators could be among them. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation. In an involuntary example of this trope, Troi wakes up at the start of an episode to find herself cosmetically augmented to look Romulan. | |

Used twice in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Early in the game, shapeshifter Gandrayda gets the drop on a squadron of pirates by disguising herself as one. Later in the game, after her Face–Heel Turn, she lures Samus into a trap by pretending to be a Galactic Federation Marine. | |

This is done by Carmen Cortez in Spy Kids. While Carmen and Juni are being chased by the robot army in Floop's Castle, she falls into the puzzle floor trap Gregorio and Ingrid discovered earlier. Gregorio was saved by a protective barrier, but Carmen wasn't so lucky that time around. After she falls into the pit, she lands in the Thumb-Thumb maintenance room, where she disguises herself as one to avoid being caught by the robots and the Thumb-Thumbs, only to be tackled by Juni after he frees himself and Floop from the Virtual Room after the latter was locked in there by Minion. | |
