Sometimes, Mr. Hyde's not interested in making Dr. Jekyll do anything. He just needs a piece of information that he knows that Dr. Jekyll and all the other good guys have. Unfortunately, all of those good guys know that whatever Hyde's going to do with that information, it's not going to be good for them. What's a poor Superpowered Evil Side to do? Well, if he just claims to be his Helpless Good Side, he might be able to trick them, right? After all, it's not like they look any different from each other. This is when one part of a Split Personality intentionally tries to pretend to be the other half. Note that the two characters must be within one body in order for this trope to apply. Otherwise, it's Spot the Impostor or Twin Switch. In a way, this is perhaps the ultimate form of Spot the Impostor, since there aren't even two bodies to let the others know that there definitely is, in fact, an imposter. Just two minds, and if one mind has the other's mannerisms down pat, it can be very difficult for others to figure it out. The best way to beat it tends to be by Fighting from the Inside or noticing Something Only They Would Say or an Out-of-Character Alert. Notwithstanding the description above, any personality might do this. The Superpowered Evil Side might try this in order to get the good guys to let their guard down and let him get at the Applied Phlebotinum. A Helpless Good Side might do it in order to bluff some bad guys he'd otherwise have to fight. There can be many reasons. See also Impersonating the Evil Twin and Mask of Sanity. |

Played straight on Angel, where Angelus (with some magical assistance) manages to fool the heroes into thinking a spell to restore his soul had worked, just long enough to trick them into letting him out of a cage. | |

On Haven, Mara does this quite a bit, pretending to be Audrey for her own ends. It never lasts for long, though, because she lacks the patience to keep it up in the face of resistance or after she's gotten her way. | |

Like the Spider-Man example above, Spider-Man: No Way Home has the Goblin do this again, this time to himself. He fools Norman into thinking the Goblin is gone after his mask gets destroyed, only re-emerging as the dominant personality after Spider-Man unveils his Stark Industries workbench to cure the other villains. In fact, the moment the Goblin's back in control is heralded by Peter's Spider-Sense going completely crazy. | |

In Jekyll, Hyde very briefly pretends to be Tom Jackman (the modern-day Jekyll). It only works for short moments when he's in a very dark room or has an excuse to hide his face, because there is a (slight) physical change, which gets noticed immediately by people who know him. Even people who don't know him get confused if they witness him before and after the change, instinctively convinced that they are two separate people, even if they never lost eye contact with him. |

Remember11: At one point, Mayuzumi starts begging for Satoru to come and comfort her. Kokoro has no control over the transfers, and so in order to make Mayuzumi feel better, she pretends to be Satoru. Mayuzumi plays along, although at the end of the scene, she reveals that she knew it was Kokoro the whole time. Similarly, in Satoru's route, it's implied that Keiko Inubushi has the entire time been allowing everyone to call her "Hotori," although she hasn't gone out of her way to imitate any of Hotori's mannerisms, mostly because she's never met her. |

An episode of X-Men: Evolution uses this quite tragically. Professor X is called in to confront his unstable son David, better known to fans of the comics as Legion. During a Battle in the Center of the Mind/"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight, David's evil side masquerades as the real David. Professor X, unaware of this, seals away his son and his other personality, leaving his evil personality free to do as he pleases. | |

Reversed example in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. The heroes have discovered that the sinister General Bloodis is actually the heroic Goldion under the effects of mind control. Killia and Zeroken team up to use the "Avidya Holy Water" technique that should free him, but it initially seems to fail. Later on however, Bloodis reveals that the technique worked after all, and he is once more Goldion - he pretended otherwise to act as a Stealth Mentor to the heroes. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In a "Jekyll playing Hyde" example, in The Avengers (2012), Bruce briefly pretends to be on the edge of Unstoppable Rage to mess with Black Widow. In Avengers: Endgame, Banner, in full control of the Hulk now, has to pretend to be the savage Hulk when he and his fellow Avengers arrive in 2012 to retrieve three of the Infinity Stones. His heart is clearly not in it. Like the Spider-Man example above, Spider-Man: No Way Home has the Goblin do this again, this time to himself. He fools Norman into thinking the Goblin is gone after his mask gets destroyed, only re-emerging as the dominant personality after Spider-Man unveils his Stark Industries workbench to cure the other villains.

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness Act II: After seeing Kokoa's newfound overcharge in action, as well as realizing Kokoa's newfound feelings for Tsukune, Tsukune's inner ghoul manages to seize control of Tsukune without Tsukune's knowledge and uses said feelings to manipulate Kokoa into using said overcharge to give it enough power to become a full-fledged ghoul and hijack Tsukune's body completely. In Act III, it's largely because of this that, even with the Holy Lock keeping the ghoul sealed away, Dark is initially so dead-set against trusting Tsukune to keep the ghoul in check again since he already failed to do so once. | |

In Stargate SG-1, Goa'uld can pretend to allow their host control of the body to fool the good guys. The most notable example is Tanith, a larval Goa'uld who pretends to be reformed while incubating a Jaffa. When the Tok'ra give him a host, he pretends to allow the host shared access so he can spy on the Tok'ra. They know he's a bad guy but they keep him around for a while so they can do their own spying. One race, the Tollan, actually defied this trope with a device that allowed the host and Goa'uld to alternate control of the body, and glowed blue or orange to let everyone else know who was talking! |

Played with somewhat in Primal Fear. The "Jekyll" of the story is Aaron, a sweet natured Nice Guy who, as it turns out, was severely abused including sexually as a kid. The "Hyde" is Roy, a ruthless, violent manipulator who killed the Pedophile Priest who abused Aaron as a youngster. Every now and then when Aaron gets sufficiently stressed he starts Missing Time and Roy takes over, and afterward Aaron can't remember what Roy did. At the very end of the movie, after his defense attorney has gotten Aaron an insanity plea, Aaron makes a reference to something that Roy did and we get this exchange: | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Inverted in "I, Borg". When Picard first meets with Hugh, the latter identifies him as Locutus (despite the very obvious fact that Picard is no longer Borg). Picard plays along with this, claiming he is there to facilitate humanity's assimilation, and ordering Hugh to assist in assimilating the Enterprise. He's utterly thrown when Hugh insists "I will not!". Used briefly in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Faces", when Sisko is the temporary body for Dax's murderous previous host Joran. |

In Girl Genius, the copy of The Other's personality who is living inside Agatha will usually try to conceal her presence whenever she gets out... Since they know about her, though, it doesn't work much. Although, the first time it happened, she was able to trick the lot of them for a long time, since they had no idea what was going on. She even convinced everyone that she had been drugged by the villains to explain why she had no clue who any of her friends were. However, her acting really isn't always that good... | |

In My Own Worst Enemy Edward sometimes has to pretend to be Henry in order to keep up The Masquerade. Then something happens and Henry comes out at weird times, and learns about his own double life. The agency has to keep all this secret from Da Chief, so now Henry has to pretend to be Edward. | |

Fate/Grand Order: Being the Trope Namer himself, Hyde does this from time to time, deliberately making it difficult for Fujimaru to tell whether they're talking to the kindly Nervous Wreck Henry Jekyll, or the Psycho Knife Nut Edward Hyde. It doesn't help that both personalities can influence each other, leading to Jekyll acting off at the slightest trigger, or Hyde abruptly calming down when he runs out of steam. | |

In Avengers: Endgame, Banner, in full control of the Hulk now, has to pretend to be the savage Hulk when he and his fellow Avengers arrive in 2012 to retrieve three of the Infinity Stones. His heart is clearly not in it. | |

In No Turning Back story arc of The Amazing Spider-Man (issues 688 - 691) heroes inject the Lizard with a serum that seemingly turns Connors back into human. Unbeknownst to them, they managed to restore his physical form only and Lizard's personality is still in control — and more than a little furious that he was turned into a meager human. Naturally, he hides that fact and poses as Connors for some time (cutting off his arm as it keeps regrowing) while secretly working on creating a formula which will turn him back into Lizard. However, he starts to enjoy his new life as a human and hesitates when he is about to finally inject himself. He is given no choice, however, when his cover is eventually blown (he cut off the wrong arm by mistake and the nature of his experiments is finally revealed) and he is forced to defend himself from Spider-Man. This leads to an inverted case of Jekyll Playing Hyde when Parker manages to inject the cure directly into Lizard's brain — which fails but turn him back into human but restores Curt's mind instead. However, Connors pretends to be the Lizard anyway because he feels so guilty about everything he did as the Lizard (especially killing and eating his own son Billy) that he wants to be locked up like an animal forever. | |

Doctor Who Played with in "The Family of Blood". The Doctor fakes his way into the spaceship by pretending he is still the clumsy human "John Smith"-personality he's been wearing for the rest of the story. They really shouldn't have let him press all those buttons. In "A Nightmare in Silver", The Doctor is infected by a "Mister Clever" split personality, which tries to pull this off on Clara. She sees through it due to an Out-of-Character Alert. |

In Eirika's route of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the Demon King, possessing Lyon's body, pretends to be Lyon Fighting from the Inside to trick Eirika into giving him the Renais' Sacred Stone. The situation is reversed of Ephraim's route, where Lyon is a legitimate Well-Intentioned Extremist and pretends to be possessed by the Demon King to manipulate Ephraim. | |

Blake's 7. When Blake finally locates Star One, the Black Site holding the Federation's Master Computer, he finds the personnel have been replaced by invading aliens who mistake him for Travis. Blake plays along with what he assumes is a We Can Rule Together plot, but underestimates the Sanity Slippage of his Arch-Enemy — turns out Travis is helping the aliens to Kill All Humans. | |

In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Ancestor Cell, at one point the Eighth Doctor pretends to have succumbed to the Paradox biodata virus while faced with Grandfather Paradox, the future version of himself who did succumb to the virus (only possible because the TARDIS managed to protect the Doctor's timeline when he was originally infected, giving the Doctor time to find a way to erase his infection from history). | |

This is implied to have occurred at times in the original, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as Jekyll loses control of his transformations into Hyde towards the end and the latter is forced to pretend to be Jekyll, sick in his bedroom and not seeing anyone, while ordering his household staff to buy ingredients needed for his experiments in hopes of finding some sort of cure. | |

In the Ben 10: Omniverse episode "Max's Monster": "Kid, there hasn't been a Phil in this body for years." To elaborate, way back in the original series, one of Max's old colleagues, Phil Billings, turned out to be a Corrupt Cop and ended up imprisoned in the Null Void. During the events of Omniverse, Phil is returned to Earth when Malware and his conspiracy capture him and other Null Void prisoners for their Nemetrix experiments. Phil is merged with and given the ability to turn into a tarantula-like monster by these experiments, and he afterwards seeks the aid of the heroes to control his new Superpowered Evil Side… except, in reality, Phil is dead, his mind and soul having been purged from his body and replaced with the monster's. But the monster still has Phil's memories and is thus capable of faking as if it's him in order to infiltrate the Plumbers under the guise of seeking redemption, specifically preying on the guilt that Max felt over Phil's fall from grace and suffering. | |

Inverted when Angel pretended to be Angelus in order to get Faith to reveal the Mayor's plans. Inverted when Willow pretends to still be Magic-Crazy to get Andrew into Buffy's custody when she spots him back in town. |

Stargate Atlantis also has this happen when the consciousness of an old woman in stasis is accidentally put into Elizabeth Weir. "Elizabeth" says she's fine, but the other woman has a dying wish to say goodbye to her husband, who's also in stasis. John Sheppard agrees to take on the husband's consciousness so that can happen - only it turns out they're not spouses, they're mortal enemies from a long-ago war. Violence ensues. | |

Finding that his new body doesn't have psychic powers, he becomes overjoyed to learn that most people trust Superman anyway, and so pretends to be him. "Trust? Trust? Ha ha.

In Saiko No Sutoka, Saiko-chan has two distinct personas, 'Yangire' and 'Yandere'. Yangire chases you down and stabs you, while Yandere is clingy but docile (and will offer medicine if you're hurt). Occasionally, Yangire will pretend to be Yandere to get the player's guard down. There are a few tells that it isn't really Yandere Saiko, most notably that she doesn't apologize and her text remains red, while the genuine Yandere state has it turn pink. | |

Picard plays along with this, claiming he is there to facilitate humanity's assimilation, and ordering Hugh to assist in assimilating the Enterprise.
