In "Eternals" #5 (December 2006) Ikaris and Thena are so dynamically wonderful that they can barely be bothered with disguises. Ikaris chose a brown trenchcoat, which is the best thing to wear when you want to send the subtle message "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M INCOGNITO!!!" (These garments are normally accessorized with a humongous "Spy Vs. Spy" sun hat, itself a great attention-getter since nobody in their right mind ever wears one.) Better yet, Ikaris didn't even bother buttoning the coat. Naw, he's rockin' it Gambit-style. But Thena has one-upped the levitating Lothario by simply draping a beach towel over her head!

Here's a disguise I'd like to see more of: nudity.
21. Oversized stocking cap the fits over your eyes but has eyeholes cut out.
Or you could do what Dr. Who always did, whenever the villain's henchmen would march past, he would always flatten himself against the wall and remain unseen.
Back in the early 80s when I first remember those antenna-things appearing, they were called "deely-boppers" (spelling could be off, I don't recall seeing it written down, and it could have been "deely-bobbers, but everyone pronounced it "boppers").
"2. A sauce pan with two eyeholes drilled into it"
In the DCU, those work.
"12. Romper Stompers."
I just LOVED Romper Stompers...
Oh, what about those BCG's ("birth control glasses" for the uninitiated) that Superman wore? Those ALWAYS fooled Lois.
Justin: Happy to oblige! *shrugs off Santa coat and begins to unzip pants*
Jon: That technique has gotten me out of many a jam!
Jack: I'll be darned.
Scipio: I'm still waiting for a Red Tornado/Forbush Man team-up. Or did one happen already and I missed it?
Nepharia: Haw!
