10 Mickey Mouse𝓡 In Kingdom Heartsಞ 2

Organization XIII

Kingdom Hearts is a popular series that leverages both Disney and Square Enix properties. To no surprise, Mickey Mouse plays an important role in the story. In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Hearts 2, King Mickey in♚filtrates Organization XIII with Riku, an antagonist෴-turned-antihero from Kingdom Hearts.

Integral to the success of the mission is Mickey’s black trench coat: the uniform of the Organization. While that sounds good on paper, it’s a wonder that no one recognized the King with his iconic ears and the fact that he is the only anthropomorphic mouse in the organization. That's not even taking his distinct, high-pitched voice into account. When Sora, Goofy, and Donald find King Mickey in his Organization XIII disguise in Twilight Town, it isn't until he pulls down his hood that they recognize the mouse.

7 ꧂ Solid Snake in Metal Gear

Cardboard Box

One of Solid Snake’s favorite disguises is to crouch under a cardboard box. To be fair, the cardboard box is made with mostly recycled materials, so at least the costume is eco-friendly.

This simple disguise is a tried-and-true method. Solid Snake’s opponents never notice that the cardboard box moves around the facilities seemingly on its own. The box disguise is so effective that it is also used by fellow𒐪 operatives Raiden and Big Bos🏅s.

6 Laverne from Maniac Mansion🌞 2: Day of the T☂entacle

5 ♋ Red XIII from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 𝔍

Shinra Soldier

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7 has several instances of unbelievable disguises. While Cloud dressed up in a fancy dress with twin braids is the most well-known ꩲdisguise, the most far fetched costume is when Red XIII dresses up as a Shinra soldier to play cards against Cloud.

The truly remarkable thing about Red XIII's costume is how he manages to mimic articulated human fingers, to the point of manipulating cards while playing against Cloud.

To play the part, Red XIII dons a typical black uniform and helmet, both of which prominently display his canine muzzle and fire-tipped tail. However, only members of the party seem to recognize that Red XIII isn't human, even when he nearly falls over after moon-walking across the stage during his grand entrance.

Clive continues to support the protagonist throughout Starfell Street as you fight to dismantle Team Star.

To create his Clive persona, Director Clavell styled his gray hair into a dirty-blonde pompadour and donned a school uniform. Despite his best efforts, Director Clavell’s physical characteristics, including his distinct facial wrinkles, are quite obvious. No one outside the trainer seems to suspect that Clive is actuallꦕy Director Clavell until his grand reveal upon defeating the last member of Team Star.

In the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet manga, Director Clavell easily fools Violet into believing his Clive persona, much to the bewilderment of Arven. But Director Clavell convinces Arven to🌊꧟ play along until the time is right.

1 The Traveler from G🦋enshin Impact

Fatui Member
