Editing Secret identity (section)

==Example==
{{unreferenced section|date=May 2024}}
*Bruce Wayne's "playboy billionaire" is portrayed in all media as his "mask", or false identity, while his [[Batman]] persona is his "face", or true identity. 
*Clark maintains three separate identities: one as the reporter Clark Kent and the other as the superhero [[Superman]]. These identities are kept separate from his [[Smallville (comics)|Smallville]] farmer identity, in order to protect his family's privacy.
*Diana Prince, a diplomat, is the civilian identity of [[Wonder Woman]], to blend in with society outside her homeland.
*Danny Fenton maintains two separate identities: one as the teenage boy Danny Fenton and the superhero [[Danny Phantom]]; these identities are similar to [[Spider-Man]]. 
*Kit Taylor is the secret identity of the superhero [[Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight]]. Both identities are kept separate in [[Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight]]. 

Occasionally, this trope is inverted. Examples of this are:
*The [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] film ''[[Iron Man (2008 film)|Iron Man]]'' (2008), which ends with the [[Iron Man|lead character]] declaring to the world “I am Iron Man”.
*''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' (2021), which ends with [[Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Peter Parker]]'s civilian persona being permanently erased from the memory of the entire world as a result of a spell cast by [[Stephen Strange (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Doctor Strange]].
