10 Worst Comic Book Disguises Of All Time

2. The Thing's Trenchcoat Look

Mercifully for our funny bones, Godzilla is not the only very identifiable being who has donned a trench coat and wide brimmed hat in order to try and sneak around.

Because Ben Grimm is also a longtime user of this method of "hiding" himself, having worn this to try and disguise his rocky flesh from the general public - even though his face was still fairly plainly visible.

In a nice twist, this would later be retconned, with it being explained that everyone knew they were interacting with the Thing in a trench coat, but that many respected him so much that they simply didn't tell him how terrible his disguise was, sensing he needed to feel comfortable.

Which is, all things considered, surprisingly heartwarming - or at least more heartwarming than any other story about a suspicious man in a trench coat you might have heard.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
