This troper's school allowed us to dress up as superheroes for Homecoming Week. This troper went as Rorschach from Watchmen. He was amazed by the reactions to his costume. People stared, looked horrified, said ''out loud'' how creepy he looked, and generally treated him like he was from another planet. He loved it and decided to go completely into character, turning his head to stare intensely at those who made "creepy" remarks. His use of Rorschach's low, raspy voice for the entire day only served to complete the spectacle. The feeling of power and superiority he got that day just by putting on an inkblot mask...this troper likes it more than he's willing to admit.

This troper is extremely curious - was it anything like Rorschach's actual mask, always changing?

Nope, just one fixed pattern. But it was one of Rorschach's more creepy looking patterns, so the effect wasn't ''quite'' lost.

I did the same thing at the Halloween dance at my school with my Rorshcach costume.( My ink blot was the one that looked liked a creepy jagged smile.

I did the same thing for a convention. I even walked up to my friend, she acknowledged that I was there but she didn't know it was me. I was just standing there, staring, and she kept looking at me. I finally said hi and she freaked out.

Crowning. Moment. Of. Awesome.

Holy crap, tropers, get ready for a REAL LIFE DECONSTRUCTION. Imagine, if you will, ''effing Rorschach'' walking into the library at your school halfway through English class, looming around, rasping something to the teacher and slinking over to sit in the corner and ''pulling out a copy of his own comic book'' for maximum Surreal Points. Hat, coat, scarf, the full monty. It was goddamn uncanny. This troper thought he was gonna get up and start breaking fingers, and she hadn't even read the book, just the Wikipedia article. She was debating whether trying to get a picture with him would be a bad idea when the Scary Infamous Vice-Principal storms in like Hurricane Katrina and barks at him that he can't wear a hat in here, it's against school policy, the coat belongs in his locker, and he KNOWS he can't have a mask on - what if he shanked someone? What if he ''used his cellphone in the hallway?'' How could they see him on the security tapes? It was Rorschach, heroic sociopath of page and screen, that closed his eyes. It was Jeff, that annoying kid from Block B Phys Ed who opened them, pulled the scary mask (that had, in the intervening period, suddenly turned into be-Sharpied pantyhose) off his face, and started whining something about Purim. Then the VP took his hat and his coat and he was totally wearing a shirt with a unicorn on it. And that, kids, is why Real Life sucks.

Original poster's Journal, March 30, 2009. Read new post on Secret Identity about inferior version of me. Disgusted by how quickly "Jeff" compromised his morals. Another one of the inferior copies of me has been exposed for what he is. A pretender. A fake. A joke. Not Rorschach. Never Rorschach. I never surrender. I never compromise. Can't have my name being smeared by these masses of brain-dead imitators. Must have words with this "Jeff." Possibly with breaking of fingers involved.

Troper's Journal, April 1st, 2009. Read this post, tried to copy it. Amused. Telling story. Purim. Shaved head, after growing hair for four years. Came to school as Rorschach. After hour and a half, got bored, removed costume. Received more shock over new hair than over creepy costume. Win. Now looks like Dreiberg.

This troper sometimes eats at restaurants where they ask you your name for your order (e.g. starbucks). When they do, he says "Mike". His secret? His names not Mike! MUHAHAHAHAHAH

I do the same. I don't trust those people behind the counter at Taco Bell.

This troper does this on a regular basis. He also pulls some Clark Kenting into effect. He also wears makeup on some occasions.

This troper has ''attended church'' dressed as SherlockHolmes.

So this tropette isn't the only one! I once went as CarmenSandiego to church too on a dare (although I actually got compliments on the red).

This tropette is fond walked around the mall in a leather duster and boots. Of course, no one gets the reference.

This troper does this on a regular basis, occasionally with props.

A former student at my college used to have a secret identity as Spider Man. He would walk around campus, climb on the rooftops and generally entertain the other students in full spiderman getup while the entire student body wondered who the hell he was. He even got the college staff to make him a college ID card in the name of "Spider Man" so he could go to the dining hall in costume. Eventually, his identity was discovered when he fell off a roof and had to be taken to the hospital. This man, Matthew Atherton, later graduated and went on to win the first season of WhoWantsToBeASuperhero.

You know Feedback? Awesome! What was he like?

Sadly I never met him, he graduated before I got there. I'd have to ask one of my older classmates next time I see them.

One of this tropers friends went to her schools halloween dance dressed as the dark knight verison of the joker, she had a somewhat simlar case to the Rorschach one, but instead imagaine seeing the joker doing the chicken dance, in the end she got first place in the costume contest.

The funny thing is the Joker might actually do the chicken dance. This troper can see it!

So can I, although he'd be doing the dance while releasing chickens rigged with high explosives into a crowd.

Actually I can imagine him doung it and shooting people on the 'Buck, Buck, Buck, Buck" part.

{{Hayati}} is this troper's secret idenity for the internet, since is a bit too cautious when it comes to people on the net.

This Troper saw this put into action at her theater school's Halloween Dance when a guy showed up in a chicken suit. He not only won a prize but ''stayed in character the enter night''. At least, until This Troper saw him go into the bathroom, taking off the head. She later confronted him and they are now friends.

Another friend of hers went to a later Halloween Dance as Richter Belmont from Castlevania. A very much female friend, might I add. A girl was hitting on her, and she played along the whole night. The girl never knew she was flirting with another girl until she was told.

A friend of this troper would occasionally walk around school dressed in a black ninja outift & punch out bullies before running away, no one knew who it was, except for their closest friends, now the awesome part, they were MALE bullies, the ninja, while unable to tell this from the costume, was a girl, a real girly girl, even wore make up & skirts, it was badass.

During Spirit Week at the college this troper attends, this troper made and wore her own Metal Man costume for Costume Day. No one knew it was this troper until she answered roll call with "Affirmative".

In high school, this troper was in the marching band, and one year we did {{Batman}} as our field show. To complete the effect, instead of the normal band uniform, the student conductor (sadly, not me) that stood at the side of the field was issued a full-on ''freaking Batman suit''. And not just like some cheap Halloween costume, it was molded plastic and rubber, and looked straight out of TheDarkKnightTrilogy. Furthermore, the lucky student conductor was actually able to wear it ''around school during the normal school day'', making many people wonder just who was under that mask. This troper knew...but won't tell.
