At times, an author may choose to disguise a character with an alter ego. Many superheroes, such as Wonder Woman or Superman, use their mild mannered personas to hide their genuine selves. Usually, this alter ego is a deliberate ploy on the part of the character to conceal his or her identity. Characters such as Zorro and the Scarlet Pimpernel assume a personality entirely different from their real selves in order to mislead the villains.

Other alter ego characters:

Batman

Spiderman

Most often, the attributes of the assumed identity are those of an archetype different from those of the character’s actual core. However, despite this deception, the character does remain true to the core archetype. The other attributes are assumed in order to further the goals and motivations that stem from the core archetype, not the assumed identity.

Core archetypes stand out. They are some of the most unforgettable heroes and heroines. Never assume that using core archetypes will stifle creativity or a character’s growth.
