Roger Smith (American Dad) is probably the greatest master of disguise in all of fiction, being able to create disguises that, although they seem very simple, cheap and improvised, are capable of fooling practically anyone, even digital cameras. From everyone's point of view, the appearance and voice of Roger and almost everyone who wears his costumes will be completely changed.
Robbie Rotten (Lazy Town) claims himself to be the master of disguise, having a costume for every possible scenario
Dmitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon (Marvel Comics) has not only masks and costumes but has gadgets that allows him to mimic superpowers (if he impersonates a superhuman).
Masters of disguise, Agents of Hydra (Marvel Comics) can blend in almost anywhere as a group of assassins disguised themselves as police officers when plotting an attack on Nick Fury.
Raven Darkhölme/Mystique (Marvel Comics) uses her shapeshifting abilities to the fullest, and being a trained actress, she can perfectly disguise herself as needed.
Obito Uchiha (Naruto) proved himself to be an incredibly consummate actor, fooling everyone to think he is the happy-go-lucky idiot Tobi and then the globally feared Madara Uchiha.
Kurozumi Kanjuro (One Piece) was so skilled in acting that he actually lives the role he plays, risking his own life to completely fool the Kozuki Family.
VFD members like Count Olaf (A Series of Unfortunate Events) are highly trained to become masters of disguise.
Through the usage of synthetic skin, Peyton Westlake (Darkman) can impersonate others to a high degree of success.
Through the act of innocence, Dain (Deltora Quest) was capable of convincing everyone around him, even the audience, that he was the rightful heir of King Adin, destined to wield the Belt of Deltora to defeat the Shadow Lord and save the kingdom from his tyranny...
...when in fact, he was a sadistic spy created by the Shadow Lord whose goal was to undermine the heroes' efforts once and for all, and no-one ever suspected this until he revealed it himself.
Loid Forger/Twilight (Spy x Family) is a Master of Disguise, being able to impersonate anyone flawlessly.
