We all know about Secret Keepers: One or two people that The Hero trusts enough to tell about his superpowers. However, there are also "secret" Secret Keepers who figured out the character's secret on their own, and instead of confronting the hero about the secret, decide to keep things quiet. They then almost always take it upon themselves to help the hero secretly from the sidelines by creating distractions to allow the character to slip away to change unnoticed, letting the hero know about dangers or problems that need the hero's attention, and so on. There's usually a given reason for this character to not just tell the hero what they know, from the reasonable to the flimsy. These include them having learnt the information in a questionable way that could force them to reveal their own secrets, circumstances being that revealing their knowledge could actually make things harder for the good guys, they've decided to wait for the hero to eventually tell them themselves, they're aware that the hero specifically doesn't want them to know the info, self-denial that this information is true, there being no good time to bring it up, or even admitting that they have no reason beyond "You Didn't Ask". Regardless, this serves as a good source of drama and comedy, as the hero and those in the loop desperately try to hide the truth from someone who is already perfectly aware of what's going on and is just playing along until the narrative decides to drop an Internal Reveal. As for how they learnt the secret in the first place, they tend to fall into one of three camps: Purely Accidental: They happened to stumble across it, were unintentionally told, or enough coincidences happened that they connected the dots. Ignored or overlooked third party: They know because they were there from the beginning, and may have even played a role, but no one noticed. Deliberate pursuit of knowledge: They've been actively trying to figure it out and have succeeded. Sub-Trope of Secret-Keeper. See Also: I Know You Know I Know and Keeping Secrets Sucks. Everybody Knew Already is when everyone is this. Locked Out of the Loop is what those who are openly (so to speak) in on the secret assume of this character, which may lead to a twist, depending on whether the audience knows they know. |

DCeased: Jimmy stumbles on Superman and Lois kissing and asks, horrified, what Clark is going to think. After letting Supes spend a few seconds in consternation about how to handle this, he laughs and reveals that he's known for years, because, among other things, every photographer draws on his work when he gets bored. He just said nothing because he figured Supes had enough on his plate. | |

In Shall We Date?: Ninja Shadow, some characters will find out on their own that the Player Character Saori is a girl playing a Sweet Polly Oliver role and keep that to themselves, but the amount of characters who figure it out before Saori reveals the secret depends on the route: Eduard will always realize Saori's secret and keep mum, thinking that she has good reasons to pretend that she's a guy. (She does) He'll only spill it out towards the very end. Makoto finds out in his own route and some others ( i.e., Kagura's and Yuzuki's), depending on the circumstances, and doesn't reveal it unless confronted. Hijikata realizes this fairly early in his route but keeps his trap shut because not only he thinks she's doing it for really important reasons, but he wants her to trust him enough to tell him herself. Later Hijikata's best friend Okita explains that he also put two and two together, and finally the deal's upgraded to "Everybody Knew Already" levels since all the guys (save for Shintaro) came to similar conclusions, and aren't surprised at all when she officially explains it. |

Brokeback Mountain: After Jack and Ennis fall in love while spending the summer herding sheep, they part ways for four years. When they meet again after marrying women and having children, they passionately kiss, which is witnessed by Ennis' then-wife Alma, who keeps it to herself even as he and Jack enter a secret long-distance relationship. After Ennis and Alma divorce, she confronts him and gives another example of how she always knew he and Jack were an item: When they went away on their "fishing trips," Ennis would say upon returning that they ate all the fish they caught. Since Alma and their two daughters love fish, one time she left a note in his tacklebox reminding him to bring some back for them. But when he returned, not only did he not have any fish, but the note was exactly where she left it. | |

Meanwhile, Jotaro also knows that Usagi is his father, but doesn't say anything as he doesn't want Usagi to feel responsible for raising him and abandon his warrior pilgrimage. They only realize the other knows in the non-canon Bad Future Senso arc, where Jotaro calls a dying Usagi "father" and he's shocked that Jotaro knew. | |

A key part of Suits is Mike hiding the fact he's not really a lawyer from others. Harvey and Donna know from the start and over the course of the series Jessica, Rachel and Louis all find out (as do a couple brief characters). When Mike is finally exposed, Benjamin, the low-level researcher and IT tech at the firm, surprises him by revealing he'd always known for a unique reason: Mike was the only "Harvard grad" who never talked down to Benjamin or rubbed having a law degree in the guy's face. | |

In Tamamo-chan’s a Fox!, fox spirit and divine messenger Tamamo uses magic to take human form and attend high school. However, except for adults, her disguise is less "human form" and more "Beast Man". Because her ability to continue attending school is dependent on her identity not being found out, the classmates who know, which is all of them, don't let on that they know. Tamamo is oblivious even as people leave offerings to her in her shoe locker or pray to her. | |

When her court puts Zelda on trial for treason after finding a deceased soldier's account of the abuse in his diary, Zelda realizes that her "secret" is not so secret after all. In fact, at least ten people, including of Zelda's closest companions and several guards, know of it. Everyone just keeps mum about it. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In "Cat Blanc", Adrien catches Ladybug leaving his room after dropping off a present from Marinette, and manages to put two and two together. However, as Ladybug forebade the two of them from knowing each other's identities, he can't exactly admit that he knows, so he decides to just pretend that he's suddenly fallen in love with Marinette (which is just fine by her). Of course, this event causes a chain reaction that results in the destruction of Paris and the deaths of everyone in it save Adrien/Cat Blanc himself, and has to be undone with time travel, so by the end of the episode he no longer knows/never finds out in the first place. In Wishmaker, Luka finds out Ladybug and Cat Noir's secret identities thanks to the titular villain's power. However, because he used his Second Chance ability as Viperion to keep them from being revealed to Shadow Moth (and everyone else in Paris), neither Marinette nor Adrien remembers being unmasked. However, his usage of Second Chance causes Ladybug to suspect that one or both of them were unmasked, and asks Luka about it after taking back his Miraculous, but he lies and tells her that neither of them were. In Ephemeral, Ladybug is forced to send Luka a message that would make no sense if Luka did not know Marinette was Ladybug, so she may have picked up on the deception, but most of the events of that episode were time-reversed themselves. |

Played with in Young Justice as Anita comes home and stunned to find her father Donald (a member of a special intelligence agency) in her room with her Empress costume. Donald relates he's known for some time about his daughter's secret life and is proud of her. He even introduced her to Young Justice in hopes she'd join the team. Anita asks if Donald's partner, Ishido Maad, also knew and Ishido replies "me and your father have no secrets." As soon as Anita is out of the room, Ishido screams at Donald about how he possibly could have kept his daughter's identity a secret from Ishido all this time. | |

In an early issue of DC Rebirth, Batman goes to Kate Kane (Batwoman) to ask for her help in training a new generation of heroes. When she asks why her, Batman unmasks to reveal he's her cousin, Bruce Wayne. To his shock, Kate just laughs that she's been waiting a year and a half for Bruce to finally say it. | |

Justice League: Events transpire which require the members of the League who have civilian identities to reveal them to one another. The Flash hems and haws, until Batman, like it ain't no thang, shows why even in the TV-PG world of JL he's still the gosh-darn Batman: In a later episode, Amanda Waller reveals that she's always known Batman's identity, when she angrily calls him "Rich Boy". |

My Adventures with Superman: In the fifth episode, "My Adventures With Mad Science", Jimmy cuts off Clark's long and awkward build-up to revealing his secret identity by telling him that he already knows his best friend is Superman. It turns out he knew about Clark's abilities since the first day they met in college, when Clark tried to pass off ripping a door handle in half as being a result of loose screws. As such, when Superman showed up, Jimmy immediately knew it was his roommate. He just never said anything over the years because he figured it was a sensitive topic, and was willing to wait for Clark to explain things. However, he is offended that Clark seemingly told Lois, the coworker they've both known for only a few weeks, before him. | |

Several episodes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) hint at He-Man's mother, Queen Marlena, knowing Prince Adam is He-Man but she never quite comes out and says it. On at least two occasions she has deliberately put her son in a position where he can help people as He-Man. | |

Iris West, the wife of the second Flash, for a year after they got married (it turned out he talked in his sleep...); she didn't mention it because it seemed so important to him that it be a secret. Ashley Zolomon becomes this for Wally West, the third Flash, after a Cosmic Retcon that caused everyone to forget his secret identity (previously it had been openly known, before that knowledge caused his wife Linda to be attacked). This gains special significance because Ashley's estranged husband-turned-supervillain was the one who attacked Linda in the first place. What makes the above example interesting is that the character doesn't put two and two together on their own. To whit: during the Rogue War storyline, Zoom (Ashley's ex-hubby) speeds her to Wally's house, the one place he knows she'll be safe during the titular citywide clash, while declaring to her that Linda (who's there at the time) is the Flash's wife. Later, at the end of the story, Ashley's writing up a profile on the Flash, pauses when she gets to the section about the hero's real name, then deliberately writes "Unknown." Hence, she knows Wally is the Flash, and Linda knows that Ashley knows — but neither of them tells Wally himself. After said Cosmic Retcon, Hunter Zolomon was the sole person to remember Wally was the Flash, likely because of his weird relationship with the timestream. He never told anyone besides Ashley. |

It managed to fool the whole Seven Kingdoms except for the spymaster Varys (who's interested in a Targaryen restoration with Jon as claimant to the throne) and ser Barristan Selmy (who's keeping quiet out of fondness towards Jon's birth father Rhaegar). | |

In Batman Begins Lucius Fox puts together Batman's identity due to the suspicious parallels between Batman's equipment and the devices Bruce Wayne has ordered up for his own amusement. Downplayed, as he very quickly shifts to simply Secret-Keeper by telling Bruce that he's smart enough to figure out what Bruce is up to and is okay with supplying him if Bruce doesn't outright tell him what he's doing, because that way he wouldn't have to lie. | |

Hero Chat: Chloé deduced everyone's identities pretty quickly (she figured out Adrien because he's her childhood friend, Marinette didn't take much more effort, and once you've figured her out then the other heroes are just a case of matching them to the rather small category of "people who Marinette trusts enough to give a Miraculous"). She tells Alix because she needs someone to talk to about how unbelievably stupid everyone else is. There's a Glamour that keeps people from making the most obvious connections, but even considering that, everyone is really bad at hiding their identities from each other. For example: Adrien and Chat Noir are both rich, blond, with emotionally distant fathers and a mother who disappeared about a year ago. No one notices, even when directly comparing them. At several points, Chloé runs interference by giving (false) excuses for why all the heroes have suspiciously similar experiences, but eventually she gives up and convinces Ladybug to let her do an identity reveal. Ladybug agrees only on the condition that someone figures out everyone's identities... unaware, of course, that Chloé already figured them all out months ago. | |

Harry Potter: In Prisoner Of Azkaban, Hermione manages to figure out Lupin was a werewolf, but kept it to herself, until she came to the belief that Lupin was an accomplice to Sirius Black. The person is impressed with her because another person set the students up to see if they would figure out this as well. Two years later, in Order of the Phoenix, Harry learns that his neighbor, the Crazy Cat Lady Mrs. Figg, has known all along that he's a wizard — in fact, she's actually a Squib herself, who's been assigned to help keep watch over him his entire life. Harry knew for about a year that Neville’s parents were in an asylum before any of his friends found out. Neville didn’t know he knew either. He accidentally found out in Dumbledore’s office who then swore him to secrecy. |

Marie only reveals her knowledge, and the fact that she and Callie were the ones who assaulted her two years prior, when trying to figure out how to help her cousin heal from the effects of the hypno-shades. On a lighter note, Marie immediately picks up that Pearl has a crush on Marina, but never brings it up directly beyond alerting the duo about the relationship clause in the Inkopolis News contract. |

Spider-Man Trilogy: In Spider-Man 2 It's implied Aunt May realized Peter was Spider-Man after he saved her from Doc Ock during their fight at the bank. She never directly confronts him about it, but later in the film she talks him out of his 10-Minute Retirement, and in the third film she advises him not to seek vengeance against Sandman, claiming that "Spider-Man" doesn't kill people. It's implied Robbie Robertson also knows, given his meaningful look to Peter when he says Spider-Man was on the scene and his sorrow over Spider-Man's mask when the garbageman gives Jameson his costume. Likewise, when Mary Jane learns his secret, her reaction is not, "Jesus Christ you mean that was you I had that upside-down kiss with?!" but a low-key, "You finally told me," implying that at the very least she had strong suspicions. |

The Dresden Files: Ebenezar McCoy is Harry's second teacher and mentor in Wizarding magic. Harry came to him after Harry killed his first teacher in self-defence. Ebenezar is also Harry's maternal grandfather, who didn't know about Harry until the trial and took him in to save Harry from a death sentence. Donnar Vadderung is CEO of MonOc Securities, a mercenary group, and spymaster, who helps protect people from magical threats if they have enough money. He is also an alias for a much older being. He is Odin and Santa Claus. He knows hundreds if not thousands of details people would rather not be known. For instance, that above secret of Ebenezar McCoy's is known to Donnar, as is Harry's daughter by Susan, which he knew of even before Harry. He also knows where the kidnapped child is likely located. Thomas Raith is an White Court vampire, a psychic predator that feeds on lust, who starts off as a friendly enemy to Harry. He pops up every so often and helps Harry or asks Harry for help out despite the fact that wizards and vampires are at war. This is because Thomas knows they are half-siblings by Harry's mother. Molly Carpenter, Harry's apprentice, unwillingly becomes Winter Lady of the Fae at the end of Cold Days, an event she and Harry spend several books concealing from her highly religious parents.

Power Rangers: On Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo, Word of God is that Ernie knows who the Rangers are and keeps quiet out of appreciation for how much they've helped the world. He doesn't always hide it well (using terms like Dragonzord and Dinozord before we ever hear any other civilian use it and over-the-top pretending to believe Jason when the latter states-during episode 1x10 'Happy Birthday Zack' that the rumor he heard was that they were aliens). Also, he often gives the Rangers items-usually food/drinks-on the house as his quiet way of saying 'thanks'. He seemingly doesn't do it often enough to make them suspicious-there's a bit in a Power Rangers Zeo episode where Ernie's shown taking payment from some of the Rangers, or at least, he's at their table, talking to them, with money in his hand. Asking or allowing Jason and the other Rangers to stay at the Youth Center past closing or to watch the place while he does a supply run (or Jason to do the supply run in an episode) was likely explained away by the Rangers as Ernie being able to trust them to do so because he's known them long enough to know what they're like. Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Once or twice, Commander Stanton and Terra Venture's ruling council are hinted to know who the Lost Galaxy Rangers are. At the very least, High Councilor Renier pointedly cut off any questioning of where Mike had been when he suddenly reappeared after having been gone since the second episode, and had been treated as KIA. Keep in mind that he is among the senior crew, along with two others who often, in their eyes, frequently disappear from their stations far too comfortably for any other military setting. |

In En Tempus Veritas, as in canon, Lana learns Clark’s secret and Lionel is the only one who knows that she knows. However, this version of events takes this twist even further to the point that Clark never learns that Lana knows his secret before the ‘illusion’ ends and he returns to reality. | |

Mary Jane Watson. During Tom DeFalco's initial run on the book, it was revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #257 that Mary Jane knew Peter's secret for years. Parallel Lives reveals she's known since pretty much the beginning, having seen Peter leave his bedroom window as Spider-Man on the night of Uncle Ben's death. | |

A variation in the series finale of Elementary. Watson had helped Holmes fake his own murder to put corrupt CEO Reichenbach in prison. Two years later, Holmes returns to New York to aid Watson on a case. She suggests they go to their old friend, Detective (now Captain) Marcus Bell. When Holmes says Bell thinks he's dead, Watson sighs "about that..." It turns out Watson just couldn't stand watching Bell and Captain Gregson both blaming themselves for Holmes' murder so, without his knowledge, told them both Holmes was alive. Upon meeting him again, Bell punches Holmes for putting them through all that with "I've been waiting two years to do that." | |

Total Drama Pahkitew Island: After Sammy impersonates Amy to avoid elimination, she assumes only Jasmine knows about the Twin Switch. Turns out Chris figured them out as soon as it happened, but did nothing other than hint at it repeatedly to Sammy to make her squirm.

After his "death", she pays a visit to Martha Kent and reveals that, despite Clark's cover story of being out of the country, she already figured it out. He finally does tell her in the end. | |

Kirby (Light Novel) has Kirby accidentally hiding he's from a different world from the rest of Team Kirby, both from fear of their reactions and interruptions whenever he does work up the courage. After finally explaining in the end, it turns out the others had pieced it together from discrepancies in his story, his complete ignorance of the unmissable monster attacks, and the fact that Doctor summoned him with bell that calls heroes from other worlds. | |

On Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo, Word of God is that Ernie knows who the Rangers are and keeps quiet out of appreciation for how much they've helped the world. He doesn't always hide it well (using terms like Dragonzord and Dinozord before we ever hear any other civilian use it and over-the-top pretending to believe Jason when the latter states-during episode 1x10 'Happy Birthday Zack' that the rumor he heard was that they were aliens). Also, he often gives the Rangers items-usually food/drinks-on the house as his quiet way of saying 'thanks'. He seemingly doesn't do it often enough to make them suspicious-there's a bit in a Power Rangers Zeo episode where Ernie's shown taking payment from some of the Rangers, or at least, he's at their table, talking to them, with money in his hand. Asking or allowing Jason and the other Rangers to stay at the Youth Center past closing or to watch the place while he does a supply run (or Jason to do the supply run in an episode) was likely explained away by the Rangers as Ernie being able to trust them to do so because he's known them long enough to know what they're like. | |

This increases her interest in him and she tries to pursue him romantically. Later, during an emergency where Kurt is reluctant to use his powers because Amanda would figure out the truth, she reveals she knows about him, and then just becomes a regular Secret-Keeper for the existence of the mutants until The Masquerade is broken. | |

In Good Trouble, Alice spends the entire first season afraid to come out to her strictly religious parents. She's finally pushed in the season finale to call them up as her ex (who they know as just a friend) has gotten married to another woman. They ask if she's okay about it as "you loved her." Alice is stunned but happy to realize her parents have known all along she was gay and are fine with it as they knew she had to come to terms with it on her own. | |

In Supergirl (2015), Kara learns in the first episode that the DEO has known since she was a kid that she's a Kryptonian and Superman's cousin. She also learns that James Olsen has known for some time, as Clark had confided him and even told him to watch after her. An episode has Alex kidnapped and Kara getting a message saying she's Supergirl. It turns out to be a former high school classmate who once saw Kara use her powers to save a bus and figured out the truth. He's now using it to try and force Kara to free his father from prison. In the final scene of the Season 2 finale, as Kara races out of a room, Cat Grant smirks "go get 'em, Supergirl," revealing she's known for some time. In a flashback episode, a teenaged Kara and Alex investigate the death of a mutual high school friend. After his killer is caught, they go over the photographs the guy made and find out taken months earlier of Kara flying at night. They realize the boy knew about Kara's identity but kept it quiet because he liked her. Tracking a fugitive Lex Luthor, Kara finds a secret room of photos of her and realizes Lex has known for some time who she is. In the Season 4 finale, after being shot, Lex shows Lena evidence of Kara being Supergirl and mocks her on how just about everyone else in Kara's inner circle knew but her. Lena meets the group later, acting like she doesn't know but clearly angered at how she was kept out of the loop on this. |

(There aren't many reasons to kidnap a middle-aged counselor and sometimes community leader.) Cue the page quote. | |

Despite the antagonistic relationship between them, this actually works out for Kotetsu, as Maverick doesn't mindwipe Yuri like he does most of Kotetsu's other Secret Keepers when he Unpersons the hero. It isn't made clear as to whether or not he is able to discover Kotetsu's identity himself, or if he simply has access to the information due to his aforementioned position. | |

In Tokyo Mew Mew, Ichigo worries on a regular basis about people discovering her secret, and on many an occasion, her worry works her up enough to almost let it slip. However, Aoyama Masaya, the one person that she wanted never to find out because she was sure he'd reject her, figured out her identity on his own and is perfectly fine with it. This is the point where they become without a doubt an Official Couple. Unknown to the both of them, he has some not-quite-normal qualities himself. | |

Spider-Man (PS4): In the final boss battle, Doc Ock addresses Spider-Man as "Parker", revealing that he's either slowly figured out, or always known, that Peter is Spider-Man and not just his gadget guy. Peter is absolutely furious when he realizes the implications that Octavius had done all his evil deeds knowing full well his lab assistant is Spider-Man, and his hopes of getting through to his former mentor are shattered. Aunt May reveals at the very end that she's known Peter was Spider-Man for quite some time by telling him "I want to see my nephew". Unlike the comics she isn't in denial about it and is proud of Peter helping people, and kept it a secret so he wouldn't worry about it (which makes many earlier scenes in the game much more heartwarming). It's a cold comfort for Peter however, as she's on her deathbed. In the "Hidden Backpack" side quest, Peter finds the backpack holding Matt Murdock's business card, who gave it to Spider-Man one day in case he ever needed a lawyer. Peter is perplexed at how a blind guy knew who he was. |

Pre-Flashpoint reboot, the Riddler also had figured out Batman's secret after taking a dip in a Lazarus Pit. Batman ultimately convinced him to repress it because if Ra's Al-Ghul found out that he knew and that he was using the Pit, he'd kill him. Ra's is the father of one of Batman's main love interests and his son's grandfather so he has a personal stake in no one finding out who Batman is as it wouldn't be hard to connect the dots back to him. | |

As Shizuku finds herself enjoying her aquarium date, she is overwhelmed with guilt and confesses her secret to Kaori. Kaori accepts the news calmly, then reveals she already knew about it, since the two were in school together the year Shizuku bullied Ruri(who turns out to be friends with Kaori), and Kaori heard rumors. | |

Superman: The Animated Series: Lana Lang surprised Superman by revealing that she knew who he was. It helps that in the Superhero Origin premiere, they are childhood friends and Clark confided in her about the weird things that were happening to him as his powers began activating, and then she saw him save a family from a burning van without getting so much as a blister. Honestly, it would be surprising if she didn't connect the dots between "superpowered childhood friend" to "new superhero in the city said friend just moved to". | |

Kindred Spirits on the Roof Yuna Toomi, the protagonist, acts as a "Yuri Cupid" who clandestinely helps lesbian couples get together for the sake of two ghosts (or "kindred spirits") who want to consummate their relationship; for example, she creates a distraction to allow Seina Maki to place a love letter in her senpai and crush Miki Aihara's bag. That said, Yuna generally doesn't let on that she knows about the couples unless they tell her about it; she doesn't even meet Seina until an extra scene that takes place after the main story ends. The broadcasting club consists of three members- Umi Ichiki, Sasa Futano and Nena Miyama. The former two are in love with each other, and the latter is aware of it, but doesn't say anything outright and lets the relationship take its course. Toward the end of the game, it is revealed that Yuna's friend Fuji Ano knows about the fact that Yuna can see the kindred spirits. Ano can faintly see but not hear the spirits, and was aware that Yuna was conversing with them at a few points. |

Near the end of Octodad: Dadliest Catch, it's revealed that Stacy has always been aware that her father is really an octopus masquerading as a human. Played with in that Stacy didn't even know this was a secret; she just never mentioned it because it was so blatantly obvious that this was the case that she assumed Everybody Knew Already. | |

At the end of Batman: Year One, an (unmasked) figure who Gordon realizes is the mysterious Batman out of costume, has just saved his infant son and hands him to Gordon. Gordon makes a comment about not being able to see anything without his (at the time knocked-off) glasses. No one who can be a street cop has eyesight that bad. In this case justified because Batman is wanted by the authorities, so both of them know it's better for Gordon to have an excuse not to recognize Bruce Wayne. | |

The Dark Knight Trilogy: In Batman Begins Lucius Fox puts together Batman's identity due to the suspicious parallels between Batman's equipment and the devices Bruce Wayne has ordered up for his own amusement. Downplayed, as he very quickly shifts to simply Secret-Keeper by telling Bruce that he's smart enough to figure out what Bruce is up to and is okay with supplying him if Bruce doesn't outright tell him what he's doing, because that way he wouldn't have to lie. In The Dark Knight Rises, GCPD Officer John Blake deduced the identity of Batman many years ago, and never let on that he knew until Commissioner Gordon was hospitalised by Bane, at which point he took it upon himself to convince Bruce Wayne to come out of retirement. |

The Owl House: It's heavily implied that Willow has already realized Amity has a crush on Luz by the end of "Wing it Like Witches". It's implied over the course of "Thanks to Them" (and confirmed in "For the Future") that Gus is aware that Hunter is a Grimwalker as a result of digging into Belos' memories in "King's Tide". He identifies with a character implied to be secretly aware that one of his crewmen is a clone, he specifically introduces the crewman in question as a clone apparently to give Hunter someone to relate to, and he doesn't react when Luz accidentally lets it slip. |

Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle: Fugil is surprised to find out that the emperor of Arcadia knew about his secret identity as the hero who defeated the prior Holy Arcadia Empire and saved the family branch that they both belong to. This is deconstructed because the emperor took his loyalty to the family for granted and kept his identity a secret to make him a trump card, leaving him blindsided when Fugil turns against him for his crimes against humanity. | |

There's No Rule That Says A Wolf Can't Be A Jedi: To someone with a wolf's nose, it's quite obvious that Anakin and Padme are married. However, Swift's archaeological research has revealed that Jedi in times past didn't forbid it, with the reasons for the current rules still being under investigation, and he chooses not to say anything. Until the Jedi Council are going to arrest Senator Palpatine as a Sith, and Swift knows that Anakin really needs to be with his wife right now and ensure her safety. | |

Batman Beyond: Implied in "Unmasked". When Terry unmasks himself to reassure a kid he's rescuing, Cobra later tracks the kid down and checks his memories for Batman's true identity. The resulting image is Batman with the head of the kid's action figure, which Terry takes to mean that the kid didn't see his face well and subconsciously replaced the image. As proof, he walks over to the kid's soccer game and mentions to Maxine that he sees the kid everyday, and he hasn't figured it out. The last shot, however, is the kid looking back and giving a knowing smile, implying that he does know but kept it secret. It's been revealed in the comic adaptation that Dana Tan knew about Terry being Batman before he revealed it. And Word of God indicated that Bruce knew for a long time that Terry is his genetic son long before Terry figured it out for himself. In the early episodes, it was implied that Barbara Gordon already knew that Terry was the new Batman before finally acknowledging it by meeting with Bruce in the Batcave. (Of course, he's the obvious suspect for anyone who knows that Bruce was the original Batman.) |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Daredevil (2015): In the Season 1 finale, Foggy finds Matt venting off steam on a punching bag at Fogwell's Gym. Matt is surprised that Foggy found him here because he's never told Foggy about the gym. Father Lantom easily figures out that Matt was "the Devil of Hell's Kitchen" from their confessionals, but doesn't say anything until Matt is about to reveal the secret. There's plenty of scenes throughout Season 2 where it's strongly implied that Karen Page had suspicions that Matt was Daredevil, but she didn't put together two and two owing to Matt being blind. While he never says it out loud, it's pretty clear that Frank Castle figures out Matt's secret identity as Daredevil during their interactions at the hospital and during the trial, but he doesn't say a word about it because he just doesn't care about Matt's secret identity. Even if he didn't figure it out then, he definitely would've figured it out by seeing Matt sans-helmet through his rifle scope during the Season 2 finale. In The Defenders (2017), it's heavily implied that Misty Knight figures out Matt is Daredevil on her own. Given that when Matt tries to provide evasive answers in her attempt to question him following Stick's death, she says "That's cute, but, cut the shit. Because we both know you're not just a lawyer in all this, you're something more." Iron Fist (2017): When Joy is revealing to Ward that she's secretly gathered a dossier of dirt to blackmail the Rand board of directors to get themselves back into the company, she reveals that she's known about Ward's drug addiction for a long time, but didn't say anything about it because it didn't seem to impact Ward's ability to work. The first season finale of Ms. Marvel (2022) has the gang startled to discover Zoe has known all along about Kamala's powers and kept quiet to return Kamala saving her life in the first episode. |

The Unbelievable Gwenpool deconstructs this as Gwen, a girl from the real world who is a big comic fan, knows the identity of just about everyone. However, when trying to save Batroc the Leaper's team from the female Thor, she blurts out Thor's real name and is forced to Verbal Backspace before she gets her head smashed in. It gets worse later when Gwen's evil future version gleefully explains how this knowledge could (and in her opinion should) be exploited for personal gain and horrify present-day Gwen with the implications. | |

In Smallville, Chloe plays this for the second half of the fourth season. Lois is one of these from the Season 9 finale until episode five of Season 10. During a good portion of Season 10 (even after he finds out that she knows) there's a hilarious level of Lois trying to hide Clark's identity from characters who already know it, like Chloe and Tess. (Which becomes particularly funny in Patriot where, as below, it becomes pretty clear that the others are just screwing with her. Just look at the smirk on Tess's face when Lois covers for Clark's absence to her... his Mission Control. It is possible that either Tess didn't know that Lois was in on the joke, or she was protecting her own secret, but given that this is Tess, it's quite likely that she's just enjoying Lois's attempts.) Lois does this earlier with when she finds out Oliver Queen is Green Arrow and tries to keep his secret...from Clark and Chloe. At some points it looks like all three are just screwing with her. Lionel Luthor was one also, having the knowledge both of Clark's abilities and his birth name due to exposure to a Kryptonian artifact. In one episode, he goes out of his way to acquire surveillance footage showing Clark using his abilities (and his watching it without a hint of surprise and with a promise to keep Clark's secret safe serves to inform the audience of his knowledge). He only becomes a standard Secret-Keeper after he is trapped in an elevator with Clark's mother, and Clark is forced to rather blatantly use his abilities to save them both. |

While Rika openly accepts her uncle's role as a superhero, Yuko decides to keep the information to herself, instead insisting on calling him "That Blue Guy". | |

Spider-Man (Insomniac): Spider-Man (PS4): In the final boss battle, Doc Ock addresses Spider-Man as "Parker", revealing that he's either slowly figured out, or always known, that Peter is Spider-Man and not just his gadget guy. Peter is absolutely furious when he realizes the implications that Octavius had done all his evil deeds knowing full well his lab assistant is Spider-Man, and his hopes of getting through to his former mentor are shattered. Aunt May reveals at the very end that she's known Peter was Spider-Man for quite some time by telling him "I want to see my nephew". Unlike the comics she isn't in denial about it and is proud of Peter helping people, and kept it a secret so he wouldn't worry about it (which makes many earlier scenes in the game much more heartwarming). It's a cold comfort for Peter however, as she's on her deathbed. In the "Hidden Backpack" side quest, Peter finds the backpack holding Matt Murdock's business card, who gave it to Spider-Man one day in case he ever needed a lawyer. Peter is perplexed at how a blind guy knew who he was. Marvel's Spider-Man 2: In The Stinger, Doc Ock isn't willing to tell Norman Osborn who either of the Spider-Men are. |

During the discovery scene, Flulu, who is both the protagonist's strict mother and Cal's boss, turns out to have known of the pet all along and tolerated it for the time it proved to not be dangerous. | |

Equilibrium: Preston spends the film trying to prevent anyone from finding out that he's a sense offender, especially his Creepy Child son, who is a true believer in the laws enforcing emotionlessness. In the end, his son reveals that not only has he known about Preston's sense offenses, but both the son and daughter have been sense offenders since their mother died. | |

Batman: It is sometimes suggested Batman has supporting characters who know, or strongly suspect, his secret identity, and that Batman knows they know, but that no good would come from any of them actually speaking about it openly. At the end of Batman: No Man's Land, Bruce Wayne takes off his mask in front of Commissioner Gordon to regain his trust. Gordon refuses to look at him and says "If I wanted to know, I could have discovered it ten years ago. And for all you know, I did. But that's not the point." At the end of Batman: Year One, an (unmasked) figure who Gordon realizes is the mysterious Batman out of costume, has just saved his infant son and hands him to Gordon. Gordon makes a comment about not being able to see anything without his (at the time knocked-off) glasses. No one who can be a street cop has eyesight that bad. In this case justified because Batman is wanted by the authorities, so both of them know it's better for Gordon to have an excuse not to recognize Bruce Wayne. Previously in the story, Gordon and his partner, Sarah Essen questioned Bruce about his possibly being Batman. Clearly, the super-wealthy guy who watched his parents get murdered and recently returned to town at the same time as the rise of a new vigilante might be on any detective's short list. In an early issue of DC Rebirth, Batman goes to Kate Kane (Batwoman) to ask for her help in training a new generation of heroes. When she asks why her, Batman unmasks to reveal he's her cousin, Bruce Wayne. To his shock, Kate just laughs that she's been waiting a year and a half for Bruce to finally say it. In Birds of Prey, Barbara Gordon reveals to her father, Commissioner Gordon, that she used to be Batgirl and is now Oracle. It turned out that he had already known about the former, but not the latter. In Injustice: Gods Among Us, Gordon goes to see Barbara and asks where Batman is. When she tries to play dumb, he snaps at her "I know, all right? I've always known, I just played my part and let you and Bruce do what needed to be done." Robin (1993): Tim "Robin" Drake figured Batman and Robin out at age eight or nine by recognizing Dick Grayson's acrobatics (he saw the Graysons' last show), and said nothing to anyone for several years, until he grew concerned with Batman's self-destructive behavior in the wake of Jason Todd's death, which he knew meant Robin's death. Tim also tends to be one for a lot of superheroes he interacts with, if only in the beginning of their relationship. Due to a combination of his detective skills and connections, he's often inclined to deducing the secret identities of other heroes, including Wildcat, Superman, and the Flash, without them telling him themselves. In The New 52, Two-Face reveals that he knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman, but never outed him, and has actually been convincing himself not to kill Bruce. In Milk Wars, it's revealed that Rebecca Paige, mother of Violet Paige (Mother Panic) also knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman. It's not explained how she knows (she has weird knowledge often), but she also ends up telling Violet herself. Pre-Flashpoint reboot, the Riddler also had figured out Batman's secret after taking a dip in a Lazarus Pit. Batman ultimately convinced him to repress it because if Ra's Al-Ghul found out that he knew and that he was using the Pit, he'd kill him. Ra's is the father of one of Batman's main love interests and his son's grandfather so he has a personal stake in no one finding out who Batman is as it wouldn't be hard to connect the dots back to him. Post-Flashpoint, it was revealed that Joe Chill knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Remorseful over what he did to the Waynes, Chill never told anyone and spent most of his free time penning a letter of apology to Bruce (he's illiterate). After Bruce learns that he knows, Bruce saves Chill’s life and stays by his side as he passes away from illness. |

Transformers: Prime: According to the tie-in book, Transformers: The Covenant of Primus, Alpha Trion was aware that Orion Pax was the reincarnation of "Thirteen", the last of the thirteen original Primes, long before he regained his memories and retook his original name: Optimus Prime. That being said, after regaining his Past-Life Memories there is no indication that Optimus was aware that Alpha Trion knew who he was, though considering that in this continuity, Alpha Trion is also a member of the Thirteen (which is why he knew who Orion Pax was), it's entirely possible he suspected as much. | |

Forged Destiny: At the end of Book Six, Chapter 5, after revealing what a Reaper is to Jaune, Ruby ends the chapter tearfully confessing that she is aware that Jaune is lying about his Class. The following chapter has her explain that she's actually had her suspicions since Book One. She'd hoped that Jaune would tell her eventually, but she ended up forcing the issue in an attempted breaking of the Mutual Masquerade due to being worried about the current mission and outright needing him to use blacksmith abilities to help her. | |

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Once or twice, Commander Stanton and Terra Venture's ruling council are hinted to know who the Lost Galaxy Rangers are. At the very least, High Councilor Renier pointedly cut off any questioning of where Mike had been when he suddenly reappeared after having been gone since the second episode, and had been treated as KIA. Keep in mind that he is among the senior crew, along with two others who often, in their eyes, frequently disappear from their stations far too comfortably for any other military setting. | |

Anyone: Aizawa believes that Nedzu knows who stole Hanabata's car from the UA parking lot. The thing is, if he's right, then that means that Nedzu knows that the one who commited the theft is Shouto, which in turn means that Nedzu is aware of Shouto's criminal activities. It's all but stated that Hawks has figured out that Dabi and Shouto are siblings, but he never brings up the subject nor is it clearly confirmed in text. Katsuki realizes that Izuku is connected to Anyone after Sir Nighteye comes looking for him, but since he has no means of contacting Izuku this means that Izuku doesn't know that Katsuki knows. |

In Cardcaptor Sakura, Touya eventually determines that Sakura is having magical adventures (due to his ability to sense human souls) and, unlike Tomoyo who confronts her about it in the first episode, he keeps the knowledge entirely to himself, reasoning that Sakura must not want others to know if she is going to such effort to keep it a secret. For her part, Sakura assumes he can’t possibly know despite Kero’s suspicions, since she thinks he’d tease her relentlessly over it. | |

Lag has a dilemma over whether he's doing the right thing by delivering a letter full of lies, but while defeating a Gaichuu at the end of the delivery, his Shindan shows the heart inside the letter, revealing that Vincent told the lies so that his mother wouldn't worry. However, it turns out that Vincent was such a Bad Liar that his mother knew already, even without Lag's Shindan. | |

The Disney Mouse and Duck Comics have two for Paperinik (Donald Duck's superhero/antihero secret identity). The first is Mickey, who has known Paperinik's identity for a while (and never fell for his many ruses to throw off whoever else deduced it) and never told anyone until some particular circumstances made him finally fall for them (unless he made that quip to throw off everyone else). The other is Gyro, who in Paperinik New Adventures is implied to have deduced Paperinik's secret identity... And, not trusting himself, wiped out his own memory every time it happened, without telling to anyone.note This is an hold-over from pre-Paperinik New Adventures stories: in the second one Donald told him, and he instantly produced the memory-wiping candies and made himself forget. From then on, he and Paperinik had an agreement on it: if the circumstances forced Paperinik to reveal his identity, Gyro'd wipe out his own memory as soon as it wasn't necessary anymore for him to know | |

Superman: Batman heavily suspects that Perry White, a crack investigative reporter before leading the Daily Planet, is too observant to have not noticed Clark Kent was Superman. White just appreciates the good work and opts never to bring it up. Likewise Clark's best friend Jimmy Olsen in some versions is aware of his coworker's superhero work. When Superman reveals himself as Clark Kent in 2020, Jimmy claims he'd known for some time. In All-Star Superman, the in-comic situation leaves it ambiguous whether Jimmy knows, but Grant Morrison said in an article on the topic that he does, and just keeps it quiet because he trusts that Superman has a good reason for wanting it secret. The comic also flips the usual dynamic in that Lois does not know, and in fact assumes that Superman is putting her on when he attempts to tell her. DCeased: Jimmy stumbles on Superman and Lois kissing and asks, horrified, what Clark is going to think. After letting Supes spend a few seconds in consternation about how to handle this, he laughs and reveals that he's known for years, because, among other things, every photographer draws on his work when he gets bored. He just said nothing because he figured Supes had enough on his plate. Pre-Crisis Lois Lane figured it out ages ago but could never prove it (not that she was ever shy about voicing her suspicions, mind you), and for years it was practically a full-time job for Clark/Superman to convince her she was wrong. Ditto for Pre-Crisis Lana Lang. Also, the first reaction of Booster Gold is to yell out Clark's name in public, relating that being from the 25th century, he's known all along the secret identities of every major hero and keeping quiet. In Superboy 1949 #90, Pete Ross discovers Superboy's identity by accident during a camping trick, and he decides to keep it to himself. In the Pre-Crisis universe, Linda Lee Danvers' childhood crush Dick Malverne knew she was Supergirl all along. In Young Love he confessed on his deathbed he always loved her and he knew of her secret identity. In the very beginning of The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor, Lena finally finds out what her old friend Linda Danvers is Supergirl, but she chooses to keep quiet about it. Comet the Super-Horse knew of Supergirl's existence, as well as her secret identity, since her arrival in Earth; but he kept Kara's secrets to himself for years before finally meeting her in "The Super-Steed of Steel". Supergirl (1984): In the final scene, when Kara is about to leave Earth, Ethan reveals he figured out she was "Linda Lee". |

In Knight Squad, Ciara is the Princess of Astoria whose father refuses to let her become a knight. Ciara uses a magical ring to disguise herself to be a knight in training. At first, only friend Arc knows but eventually teammates Prudence and Warwick find out. In the series finale, Ciara finally reveals herself to the entire kingdom and dares her father to punish her. To her shock, the king replies "how can I punish you when I've known the entire time?" He kept quiet because he was secretly proud of his daughter doing this and didn't want to spoil it. He also reveals he knew all along Arc wasn't really from a noble family but ignored it because he was helping Ciara. | |

Clark Kent of Earth-51 has known that General Swanwick wasn't human since they met because he noticed that Swanwick's heart was on the wrong side of his body (guessing that Swanwick is a shapeshifter who doesn't bother with internal details like that when he thinks he doesn't have to), but kept the secret as he reasoned it wasn't his to expose. |

Batman: The Animated Series: Bruce Wayne figured out Batgirl was Barbara Gordon at an indeterminate point, but didn't tell her until revealing his own identity. That he also kept this a secret from Dick Grayson was the last straw that convinced Dick to leave Batman and become Nightwing. Barbara also later attempts to come out as Batgirl to her father, Commissioner Gordon. Before she can state it outright, he heavily implies that he already knows, is proud of her, and doesn't want to "officially" know. |

In What a Girl Wants, Harry is a lord running for political office when he discovers Daphne, the daughter he never knew of. He had been under the impression Daphne's mother, Libby, had left on her own and never told him about the child. Libby responds that it was Harry's disapproving family that drove her to never tell him about Daphne. In the film's climax, Harry tells the press that he's turning down office as he wants to be with his daughter. Alistair, the father of Harry's fiancee, is outraged and during an argument, reveals that he knew all along Libby was pregnant and kept it quiet so Harry wouldn't "throw his life away for her." Outraged that he was denied the chance to be a good father, Harry punches Alistair in the face and dumps his fiancée (who was also working to keep Daphne away) before flying to America. | |

In The Spectacular Spider-Man, it's become increasingly obvious over the second season that Captain George Stacy knows that Peter is Spider-Man and is covering for both identities when necessary. A borderline case as Peter has by now been given more hints than he needed to figure that out for himself, but neither of them have gone so far as to say it outright. | |

DC Extended Universe: Man of Steel seems to feature this, as Clark spends a good amount of time demonstrating his feats of strength during his youth in Smallville (at one point lifting a bus full of kids out of a lake to save some of his classmates). One could only assume that the citizens (or at the very least Pete Ross, his childhood friend) were able to connect the dots that he is, in fact, the alien that goes on to confront Zod. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Lex Luthor has known about Superman and Batman's real identities for some time, which allows him to stir up trouble for both without either suspecting it. When he reveals this knowledge to one and then the other, he's openly gloating about it. |

Fate Ends: Yue Qingyuan was far too familiar with Shen Qingqiu to not realize he had been replaced by some impersonator after his qi deviation, but couldn't bring himself to acknowledge it out loud because he would have effectively accepted his beloved's demise. It's only when Harry comes clean that he admits he was aware all this time. | |

Powers of Invisibility puts Juleka in this role, after she sees Marinette and Adrien transforming during the Evillustrator attack in Chapter 5, with it stating that she was already 90% sure it was them anyway. The following few chapters have numerous moments where Juleka privately snarks about just how bad the two's inexplicably successful attempts to hide their identities are, including from each other. She becomes a regular Secret Keeper to Adrien in Chapter 11, and to Marinette in Chapter 15, and both times Juleka is greatly amused to tell them she figured them out months ago. On a side note, the two of them don't actually connect the dots regarding each other until Juleka forces the issue in Chapter 23, despite knowing about their mutual friendship with her. | |

In one episode of Zorro (1957), Diego is waylaid by a Zorro impersonator. When he defeats and unmasks the impostor, he discovers it's his father, Alejandro, who admits he's known the truth about his son's secret identity for a long time — and just stopped him from making a terrible mistake. | |

Jason Scott's father in Power Rangers (2017). One of Zordon's rules is that the rangers can never reveal their identities. After Jason rescues his dad (who has spent most of the movie being disappointed in Jason), Mr. Scott takes a clipping of the Rangers saving the day and places it on the fridge where he used to keep clippings about Jason's football career, smiling to himself before walking away. | |

During a Justice League meeting, Wonder Woman comments that nobody knew about Captain Marvel's real age, only for Batman to calmly announce that he did. Cap is visibly surprised by this. (Word of God says Batman knew everybody in the League's identity, even if they didn't volunteer the information.) | |

Daredevil (2015): In the Season 1 finale, Foggy finds Matt venting off steam on a punching bag at Fogwell's Gym. Matt is surprised that Foggy found him here because he's never told Foggy about the gym. Father Lantom easily figures out that Matt was "the Devil of Hell's Kitchen" from their confessionals, but doesn't say anything until Matt is about to reveal the secret. There's plenty of scenes throughout Season 2 where it's strongly implied that Karen Page had suspicions that Matt was Daredevil, but she didn't put together two and two owing to Matt being blind. While he never says it out loud, it's pretty clear that Frank Castle figures out Matt's secret identity as Daredevil during their interactions at the hospital and during the trial, but he doesn't say a word about it because he just doesn't care about Matt's secret identity. Even if he didn't figure it out then, he definitely would've figured it out by seeing Matt sans-helmet through his rifle scope during the Season 2 finale. |

Towards the end of the series, however, when Eri must use her Magic Music to heal Nozomu's injuries, Amachi reveals that he has known for some time who the Goseigers really are. | |

In Ultimate Spider-Man, bully and Flash Thompson's friend Kenny "Kong" McFarlane was convinced Peter Parker was Spider-Man when his personality change occurred after he was bitten by a genetically-altered spider (Kenny stepped on the spider after that). He was "proven wrong" when Kenny kicked Peter to demonstrate his reflexes, but the truth is that Peter caught on and took the hit, even forcing tears, to prove him wrong. Despite that, Kenny still believed Peter was Spider-Man and kept it to himself until their classmate Liz Allan's mutant powers manifested, at which point he let Peter know that he knew. He implies that he assumed everybody knew and it was just one of those things you aren't supposed to discuss directly. | |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man Trilogy: In Spider-Man 2 It's implied Aunt May realized Peter was Spider-Man after he saved her from Doc Ock during their fight at the bank. She never directly confronts him about it, but later in the film she talks him out of his 10-Minute Retirement, and in the third film she advises him not to seek vengeance against Sandman, claiming that "Spider-Man" doesn't kill people. It's implied Robbie Robertson also knows, given his meaningful look to Peter when he says Spider-Man was on the scene and his sorrow over Spider-Man's mask when the garbageman gives Jameson his costume. Likewise, when Mary Jane learns his secret, her reaction is not, "Jesus Christ you mean that was you I had that upside-down kiss with?!" but a low-key, "You finally told me," implying that at the very least she had strong suspicions. The Amazing Spider-Man Series: The Amazing Spider-Man implied that Aunt May knew Peter was Spider-Man but didn't tell him. By the time of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it's pretty obvious that she knows, though he doesn't seem to think she does. |

In The Shattered Kingdoms, Jachid and his mother have been keeping the source of Meiran's illness secret from her, but in reality, she has known it for a long time. She understood why they didn't want to tell her, but still expected them to eventually trust her enough to do so. They didn't, and she left. When they meet again, Meiran is unwilling to clue Jachid in on her plan, which confuses and upsets him — he doesn't realise that its because she knows about his own lack of openness. | |

One Piece: In the Arlong arc, it turns out that Genzo and the rest of the village knew about Nami's quest to buy back their village. Despite being angry with Nami for allying with Arlong, Genzo refused to believe that Nami had betrayed her hometown for her mother's murderer, and got Nojiko, the only one who knew, to spill the beans. Afterward, he decided to ask everyone else who knew to keep quiet about it, so that Nami would be able to give up and flee if her quest got too difficult. Genzo only reveals the truth when Nezumi arrives to confiscate Nami's stash, and he yells that she's using the money to save her village. Only three members of the Straw Hat pirates know of Zoro's attempted Heroic Sacrifice during the Thriller Bark storyline: Brook, who witnessed it; Sanji, who knew he was planning it then heard the details later from witnesses; and Robin, who used her powers to eavesdrop when Sanji got the details. Zoro himself only knows Brook is aware. The other two have kept quiet (and sworn the other witnesses to secrecy) because they all know Luffy would be devastated that Zoro would come so close to giving up his life for his sake. In the Dressrosa arc, the citizens knew all along that the "fairies" of their country are actually dwarves, and that Kyros and Scarlett got together and had Rebecca. They nonetheless pretend not to know, out of respect for them. When it seems Luffy has kidnapped Rebecca, he was actually taking her to her father, the citizens weren't fooled and used the opportunity to pretend to go after Luffy, thus preventing Fujitora from dropping the rubble he kept afloat on top of Luffy. In Law's flashback, during Corazon/Donquixote Rocinante's death scene, it's revealed Law knew all along that Rocinante was a marine spy. Rocinante kept it a secret from him because he knew Law hated the World Government and its employees for what they did to his country, but by the time he officially revealed it to Law, Law had already decided he didn't care, as he had come to love Rocinante as another parental figure thanks to the compassion the man had shown him during their pursuit to find a cure for Law's disease. |

Zick's mother Greta is this in Monster Allergy. It's less that she stumbled across his secret at any point, and more that his ability to see and talk to supernatural beings is actually hereditary. She feigned ignorance and never pressed him too hard about any of the odd occurrences around the house. At least until halfway through the first season, when she learns that he used his powers to get into a situation that could have easily killed him, though they don't have an actual talk about her reasoning for another two episodes. | |

In Rain, several of Emily's close friends find out about her pregnancy (which she's hiding from everyone at school except Rain, since St. Hallvard High is a Catholic school where she could be expelled for having premarital sexnote never mind that said sex is strongly implied to have been nonconsensual) well before the point at which the progress of said pregnancy forces her to tell the rest of the school. Maria overheard Emily telling Rain about her pregnancy at the latter's New Year's party, while Gavin and Rudy found out when Ky (who Emily hadn't been keeping her pregnancy a secret from, since they go to a different school, and who hadn't known that Emily was trying to keep it a secret from everyone else at her school) told them. | |

Code Geass: At least, for a little while, Euphemia qualifies. She's the first person to figure out Zero's true identity, but keeps this to herself until the two are able to meet privately. She takes the secret to the grave after Lelouch accidentally geasses her into becoming Ax-Crazy and then mercy kills her. Shirley is briefly this after she finds a note she had written from before Lelouch erased her memory, and then again when Jeremiah inadvertently deactivates Charles' Geass on her. Again, she takes the secret to the grave after she runs afoul of Rolo. This is downplayed in the Compilation Movie series, where she at least suspects Lelouch might be part of the Black Knights, and only Charles erases her memory. When Jeremiah cancels it this time, he immediately shows up afterwards to warn her not to look into it any further for her own safety, resulting in her encouter with Rolo being avoided. Some time after that should have happened, she encounters C.C instead, and ultimately helps her set up the events of the sequel film without Lelouch originally knowing it. |

In Gattaca, the hero Vincent Freeman steals (or rather, buys) the identity of another man in order to avoid the inevitable genetic discrimination that would bar him from his dream mission of flying to Saturn's moon, Titan. He forges urine samples, blood tests, and physical exams for years when a surprise exam reveals that the resident doctor has known he was a "borrowed ladder" all along, merely by the fact that he holds his wang with the wrong hand! but he looks the other way because he himself has an "inferior," natural-born child. | |

For the Glory of Irk: It turns out that Professor Membrane and his wife Moira have known the truth about Zim being an alien all along, due to his old Paper-Thin Disguise. However, they acknowledged he wasn't really a threat, and therefore not only left him alone but sought to talk Dib out of his obsessive pursuit of him before he ruined himself with it. | |

Not the intended use (Zantetsuken Reverse): Soma knows that Arikado is Dracula's son Alucard, and he tells Julius that he knows, but asks him not to mention it. Soma also never tells Arikado that he knows. Meanwhile he tells Mina that he knows a big secret about Arikado that he's not supposed to, but he won't tell her because that's Arikado's personal business. | |

In Classi9, Bach and Tchaikovsky either discovered Ren's biological sex or guessed her gender, but kept it to themselves for different reasons. Bach couldn't spit it out, whereas Tchaiko decided to stick with Rentarou because Ren made it clear she referred to herself as a man in front of him. He tried to drop subtle hints that he knew with his use of honorifics, but so far it hasn't worked. | |

Booster Gold's entire thing is playing up that he's a fool so that he can correct anomalies in the time stream. The fact that most people see him as an idiotic Glory Hound is what keeps him from being killed in his crib by evil time travellers. However, it is later revealed that Batman has known for quite some time that Booster is more important than he lets on, as the pictures the Joker took of Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke show Booster trying to save Barbara Gordon. Batman doesn't tell Booster that he knows until Booster is as old as he is in the pictures. After he reveals to Booster that he knows, he offers Booster his friendship and becomes a normal Secret-Keeper. | |

Spider-Man: Mary Jane Watson. During Tom DeFalco's initial run on the book, it was revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #257 that Mary Jane knew Peter's secret for years. Parallel Lives reveals she's known since pretty much the beginning, having seen Peter leave his bedroom window as Spider-Man on the night of Uncle Ben's death. Aunt May is eventually revealed to have known for years, though she was in denial. Aunt May let Peter know the truth shortly before she died during The Clone Saga ("Peter, what is it like to fly?"). Then it turned out that was a "genetically-altered actress"... It's occasionally implied that Robbie Robertson figured out Spider-Man's identity a long time ago. If he acknowledged it, then he would be obligated to tell J. Jonah Jameson that Peter Parker was selling pictures of himself. Robbie vehemently denies that he had known when Peter unmasks in the Civil War arc. Captain George Stacy knew Spidey's secret as well. When he was mortally wounded during a fight between the web-slinger and Dr. Octopus, he revealed his knowledge of Peter's dual identity before he died in the hero's arms. Max Modell of Horizon Labs once teased Peter during a supervillain attack by asking if he was rushing off to take pictures for the Bugle. Pete said yes, then remembered he didn't do that any more, so Max suggested he was going to contact Parker Industries employee Spider-Man. As he went off to change, Peter reflected that maybe working with a genius in both identities was a bad idea... In Superior Spider-Man (2018), Max tells Otto that he's received an anonymous email containing proof that "Professor Elliot Tolliver" was Doctor Octopus, but that he'd figured out ages ago that "Tolliver" was San Francisco's Spider-Man and used a surreptitious DNA test to discover that he was really Otto Octavius, but as a strong believer in second chances had kept quiet to see whether Otto earned one (he did). This is parodied in Spider-Girl, where one of May Parker's classmates thinks he's a secret keeper for Spider-Girl, but came to the conclusion that May's best friend Courtney was the superhero. |

Young Justice (2010): Played With. Instead of a civilian keeping the superhero's secret, Robin knows Artemis' civilian identity (specifically, that she's from a family of supervillains) but doesn't let her know. He did almost bring it up when she was suspected of being The Mole, however. Also, since she doesn't know his identity, he Trolled her a bit when she transferred to his school. Superboy to Miss Martian. He knew she was a white Martian before they even became a couple, but he decided to let her tell him when she was ready. During a Justice League meeting, Wonder Woman comments that nobody knew about Captain Marvel's real age, only for Batman to calmly announce that he did. Cap is visibly surprised by this. (Word of God says Batman knew everybody in the League's identity, even if they didn't volunteer the information.) Dick is supposed to keep his identity a secret from his friends, at Batman's insistence, but shared the truth with his best friend, Wally; as a result, Wally knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne, and playfully teases the information in "Image". |

Super Sentai: In Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Yuka Yamazaki, the love interest of red ranger Kai, starts the series as his crush before getting her own crush on Magired a few episodes in. During The Movie that takes place a little more than halfway through the series, she figures out that Kai and Magired are one and the same, but never admits it to him over the course of the rest of the show. She simply makes occasional vague jokes, turns on the flirting a bit more, and quietly prays for his safety in the more dangerous battles. Tensou Sentai Goseiger has Nozomu Amachi as the team's official Secret-Keeper, with his father, Professor Amachi, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Alata and his friends are Gosei Angels. Towards the end of the series, however, when Eri must use her Magic Music to heal Nozomu's injuries, Amachi reveals that he has known for some time who the Goseigers really are. Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has Yuko and Rika Fukui, sister and niece respectively of Nobuharu Udo, aka Kyoryu Blue. Rika figured it out in an early episode where she got caught in a Monster of the Week's trap, while Yuko was kept oblivious for a short time until she hears Kyoryu Blue make the same speech Nobuharu had earlier. While Rika openly accepts her uncle's role as a superhero, Yuko decides to keep the information to herself, instead insisting on calling him "That Blue Guy". Yuko takes it a step further, as all the Kyoryugers except Nobuharu know that she knows (making them Secret Secret Secret Keepers). Near the end of the series when she's been recruited to become the new Kyoryu Cyan, Nobuharu quickly tries to come up with an explanation, Yuko interrupts by finally revealing that she knew...and then Nobuharu sees the embarrassed looks on the other Rangers' faces and realizes he was the only one who didn't know. |

The Beginning After the End: There are quite a few characters who are secretly aware that Arthur is the reincarnated King Grey without him knowing. Most of these are Asuras such as Sylvia, Kezess, Mordain, and Agrona (the last of whom being the one responsible for his reincarnation in the first place). Rinia is also aware of his true identity due to being a Seer, having experienced many visions of him before she even met him. In addition, after being partially freed from the Legacy's control, Tessia becomes aware of Arthur's past life as Grey as she is able to view the Legacy's memories of having lived alongside him, but does not hold it against him for keeping it secret from her. During Arthur's time living among the Alacryans, he conceals his true identity from them by going under the name of his past self, Grey. Only Seris, who took an interest in him during the war and recognized his description, is aware of who he is really is and becomes his Anonymous Benefactor during that time. Arthur is not even aware of Seris's backing of him until he meets with her shortly before the Victoriad. |

From El Goonish Shive, Nanase's mother knows quite a bit about Nanase's magical ability, but doesn't want this knowledge to become known, even going so far as to have a government agent convince Nanase to continue keeping magic a secret from her family. Also related to Nanase is how many people knew of her lesbianism before she properly came out. Of her seven friends, she goes a long time thinking only two know she's gay. Susan was with her when she realized she was gay, and her reaction to that (activating her fairy doll spell to speak to Elliot and, far as Susan was aware, dropping unconscious) scared Susan, who blabbed it to the two other friends present (Justin & Ellen). Sarah and Grace happened to overhear a conversation during Grace's birthday party. Ultimately, only Tedd (her cousin) remained completely oblivious until Nanase was actually out. Similarly quite a few people figure out that Rhoda and Catalina are a couple, largely due to them both doing an awful job at concealing it. Rhoda actually gets somewhat upset when Diane and Lucy both tell her that they knew about it since the main reason she'd been hiding it was out of concern for how they'd react. |

In Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Yuka Yamazaki, the love interest of red ranger Kai, starts the series as his crush before getting her own crush on Magired a few episodes in. During The Movie that takes place a little more than halfway through the series, she figures out that Kai and Magired are one and the same, but never admits it to him over the course of the rest of the show. She simply makes occasional vague jokes, turns on the flirting a bit more, and quietly prays for his safety in the more dangerous battles. | |

For the first few episodes of Sonic X, Chris and his grandfather were this for the Sonic characters. Then the butler reveals he worked it out ages ago, from which point they try to at least let the other people in the house in on the secret: Chris tries to tell his mother but she reminds oblivious, though telling the cleaner does work out, with her ending up fussing enormously over Cream and playing a substitute mother figure role. | |

She's fully aware that Touko isn't as confident as she lets on, as well as more specific details about Touko, like her quest to emulate her late sister, but doesn't let on. Touko appreciates that Sayaka's willing to let her seem perfect, just like how she appreciates how she can trust Yuu with her true self. Eventually, after Touko learns the truth about her sister, Sayaka openly reveals how much she knows about Touko. | |

Atlas had forgotten that he was an ADAM-created split personality of Frank Fontaine who pulled a Split-Personality Takeover, but Tenenbaum knew Atlas was one of Fontaine's personas (after all, she was the one who helped Jack break free of him) and quickly figured out that Atlas genuinely didn't know of his previous identity. | |

They said nothing because they correctly assumed that Gordon and Batman had come up with that cover story to ensure that Dent's case against the Gotham mafia didn't get thrown out. Stephens ultimately confirmed this was exactly what was going on from talking to Ramirez after Gordon made her resign in disgrace for her role in Rachel's death. | |

Red Panda Adventures: There are signs as early as his first appearance that the Red Panda's butler, Weston, knows more about the double life his boss leads than he lets on. Weston does things like make sure the Red Panda and Kit have newspapers with the latest superhero or murder related headlines, justifying it by saying he's simply noticed his master's and Kit's preferences. However, when Kit collapses from exhaustion in the manor while still in full Flying Squirrel costume, Weston is not only unsurprised but covers for her with the rest of the staff. From that moment on he's an open and invaluable ally. In the chronological Grand Finale, "The Final Problem", the Mad Monkey reveals he's known the secret identities of the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel for years. The reason he never acted on that knowledge was he simply didn't care about their secret identities. He's the Red Panda's self proclaimed arch-nemesis, not the arch-nemesis of one of the city's wealthiest men. |

Near the end of Sailor Moon R, it is heavily implied that Usagi's friend Naru had figured out Sailor Moon's secret identity on her own when she tells Usagi to be careful before confronting the season's Big Bad. However, they never actually confirm this directly, and then appear to retcon this bit of character development in future seasons. A couple of other single episode only characters figure it out: Asai Tsutomu, an old friend of Minako's who figured out she was Sailor Venus when he saw Venus use Minako's special volleyball move and did hint at least he knew to her, and Saori who had a crush on Mamoru till she overheard him call Sailor Moon "Usako" and gave up on him without explaining why. | |

In All-Star Superman, the in-comic situation leaves it ambiguous whether Jimmy knows, but Grant Morrison said in an article on the topic that he does, and just keeps it quiet because he trusts that Superman has a good reason for wanting it secret.

In Invincible (2021), towards the end of the first season, Mark reveals that he's Invincible to Amber, hoping that it would fix their rapidly deteriorating relationship, or at least begin fixing things between them. It doesn't work. She figured it out a long time ago and admits that she felt offended by him constantly lying about his activities instead of telling her the truth. Mark using the reveal as a final gambit only serves to annoy Amber even more, so she dumps him regardless. Likewise, in the season finale, they quickly piece together that Omni-Man is his father. | |

At the end of Batman: No Man's Land, Bruce Wayne takes off his mask in front of Commissioner Gordon to regain his trust. Gordon refuses to look at him and says "If I wanted to know, I could have discovered it ten years ago. And for all you know, I did. But that's not the point." | |

In The Secret Return of Alex Mack, after Terawatt remains in her silver morph the entire time she's rescuing Harry and his friends, Hermione realises that she was probably in the country already in her civilian identity for unrelated reasons, and that it would therefore be possible to identify her by checking airport records. After reflecting on how much she owes Terawatt, though, she resolves to tamper with those records and cover Alex's tracks. | |

In Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Negi trains with Kaede in the mountains for the day. He departs the next morning, thinking that Kaede is still asleep, unaware that she's watching (in his defense, though, with Kaede it can be hard to tell). She shrugs it off and later shows up in Kyoto when Yue calls for help. After the incident is resolved, Negi explains things to her and the others. We never find out if Kaede mentioned that she already knew. | |

In The Bridge has several examples. Monster X was completely unaware of his Superpowered Evil Side, Kaizer Ghidorah, as he mentally blacked out whenever the change happened. His old war buddy, Gigan, however has known for over a century, having witnessed one of Kaizer's rampages, and has been keeping an eye out to try and ensure Kaizer doesn't return again. Destroyah didn't know the precise reason why, but she had long deduced Xenilla wasn't seriously trying to win the kaiju war against Godzilla's faction and in fact didn't want his brother dead. She just didn't feel it necessary to say anything. Flash Sentry had figured out Sunset Shimmer wasn't human long before the events of the first Equestria Girls movie. He didn't know precisely what she was, but knew she meant no harm and loved her regardless, only losing his feelings when she turned into a rude bully. |

In the Witchblade/My Little Pony: Equestria Girls crossover fic The Witchblade EqG: Mystery Murder Files, Pinkie Pie is the next-to-last person in the group to learn that Sunset is Witchblade, but she admits she'd suspected her girlfriend was the heroine since the beginning. It was the only explanation for Sunset surviving an injury that should have killed her, even in her usual Super Mode, as well as knowing Pinkie was going to be the victim of a follow-up attack. Everything else she noticed in the weeks afterward was just additional confirmation. | |

Captain Tsubasa: In the original anime, Sanae accidentally overheard how Yayoi begs Tsubasa to let Misugi's team win since he's about to be operated on and may not be able to play ever after that. Sanae never reveals this knowledge - and it's not needed since it comes out that same day. In both the Shin OAV's and the manga, Hyuuga keeps to himself how he walked into Wakabayashi telling Tsubasa that his recent Jerkass behavior to the Japanese National Team is fake. When Wakabayashi explains his reasons to the team, Hyuga steps in and reveals that he knew it but said nothing out of respect for him and because it fired him up to try his hardest. |

Kimberly T's Gargoyles; When the Manhattan Clan visit the gargoyles of New Orleans, Lexington becomes part of a mated trio with Rebecca and Robert; the two were old friends and attempted to mate in the past, but Robert was so gay that it was impossible for him to be aroused by a female even if they were friendly. When Rebecca is preparing for their mating ceremony, her rookery sister Isabel reveals that she happened to be in a tree when Rebecca and Robert went off to try and mate solo in the past, and never told anyone because it was already embarrassing enough for all concerned parties. On a more serious note, only Xanatos and Matt are aware that Puck is almost certainly the father of Philip Marsden, the father of Bethany Marsden, the daughter of the Xanatos family's new nanny Anne (who is basically guaranteed to get together with Matt based on her daughter's True Sight prophecies). Xanatos has done enough research to satisfy him that Puck was banished from Phil's life in some way that prevents him from ever acknowledging the relationship, and asks Matt not to tell anyone else because he doubts the gargoyles could keep such a secret and he's worried that openly acknowledging the relationship would have some negative effect on Owen. |

Arrowverse: Arrow: Laurel learns that Oliver is the Arrow from Slade as an attempt at his inticrate his revenge plan, but she keeps it to herself for a few episodes until. In late season 2, Moira reveals she knew Oliver's secret all the way back in season one, but kept it to herself to what he was doing, pride for who he became and Plausible Deniability. Batwoman (2019): Faced with Kate Kane and Luke Fox's Blatant Lies about what their real estate business has to do with the villain of the week, Mary Hamilton-Kane works out that her stepsister is Batwoman at the end of "Drink Me". She's a bit hurt that Kate felt she couldn't be trusted with this, but lets her stepsister know that if she does have any big secrets, Kate can reveal them to her when she's ready. Kate doesn't, so Mary ends up forcing the issue several episodes later. In the fifth season finale of The Flash (2014), Captain Singh surprises Barry and Joe by announcing that he's being promoted to Chief of Police and makes Joe his replacement. In Supergirl (2015), Kara learns in the first episode that the DEO has known since she was a kid that she's a Kryptonian and Superman's cousin. She also learns that James Olsen has known for some time, as Clark had confided him and even told him to watch after her. An episode has Alex kidnapped and Kara getting a message saying she's Supergirl. It turns out to be a former high school classmate who once saw Kara use her powers to save a bus and figured out the truth. He's now using it to try and force Kara to free his father from prison. In the final scene of the Season 2 finale, as Kara races out of a room, Cat Grant smirks "go get 'em, Supergirl," revealing she's known for some time. In a flashback episode, a teenaged Kara and Alex investigate the death of a mutual high school friend. After his killer is caught, they go over the photographs the guy made and find out taken months earlier of Kara flying at night. They realize the boy knew about Kara's identity but kept it quiet because he liked her. Tracking a fugitive Lex Luthor, Kara finds a secret room of photos of her and realizes Lex has known for some time who she is. In the Season 4 finale, after being shot, Lex shows Lena evidence of Kara being Supergirl and mocks her on how just about everyone else in Kara's inner circle knew but her. Lena meets the group later, acting like she doesn't know but clearly angered at how she was kept out of the loop on this. |
