| - Mask Power meets Badass in a Nice Suit. A conventional costume consisting of a suit, a conservative overcoat, a Nice Hat and gloves, and some form of face covering. A character dressed this way conceals his identity in two ways. Up close, he is noticeable but not identifiable. From afar, he is not even noticeable, because he's basically dressed like everybody else. As might be expected, this mode of dress is most often seen among urban Costumed Nonsuper Heroes; its resemblance to stereotypical Private Detective garb is no coincidence. Sometimes a form of Civvie Spandex.
