Default Alter-Egos

If there is already a thread for this I apologize and the moderators can close it, I didn't see one:

This thread is for characters that had alter-ego's or other names they went by:

Friends:

Phoebe: Regina Falangie

Joey: Ken Adams

Will & Grace:

Karen: Anastasia Beavenhauser

What other characters used alter-egos or fake names from time to time?

Sam Axe on Burn Notice - often uses the fake identity "Chuck Finley"

Sean and Gus on psych use several different fake names often more than one per episode such as "Felicia Fancybottom", "Longbranch Pennywhistle", "Lavender Gooms", "Ghee Buttersnaps", "Methuselah Honeysuckle and Old Scratch Johnson", "T-Bone Turner and Chesterfield McMillan", "Schoonie "U-Turn" Singleton" and many many more

Bud Bundy on Married with Children tried to create a new "cool rapper" identity and started calling himself "Grand Master B" - although everyone else called him different insulting versions of it

Bruce Wayne as Batman and Britt Reid as the Green Hornet

Johnny Caravella as Doctor Johnny Fever and Gordon Sims as "Venus Flytrap" on WKRP in Cincinnati

Matsuo Takahashi as "Arnold" on Happy Days (the only time he actually used his reeal name on the show was when he was giving martial arts lessons)

On Buffy/Angel, the character Angel is cursed with a soul as punishment for his past actions.

His true vampire form is the demon Angelus.

On Supernatural Sam and Dean use different rockstar names as aliases when posing as FBI agents.

On Chuck Chuck likes to use the alias Charles Carmichael. But never seems to get a chance to.
