Right, this is roughly what I was driving at.

This sounds so soapy. My Ghods, I'm a shoo-in for an Eppy this year! [Ob :) for any Episodic lurkers.]

Good question. I think he deepens it a bit for the villains, cops, citizens, etc, a la George Reeves, but when it's just him and DB or other heroes he's pally with, I don't think he bothers. But still, as you say Lola's pretty smart, and remember back in "Badgers" when Lola first met Jim she thought his voice was familiar...

I remember reading once that supposedly he vibrated himself so that in any photos his face just appeared as a blur. Plus I'm sure there's a dozen equally cockamamie explanations... In Sailor Moon, it was said that the Scouts had a sort of magical glamour that prevented people from recognising them; if they hadn't met previously, they couldn't even recognise each other out of costume. I'd thought of something like this for HG and DB, but their powers aren't magic-based, so it doesn't really make sense.
OTOH, it's something that Sandy McCovey might be able to teach Mark...

Nope. I think the only two villains that have met both HG and Evans are the Crustacean and Terrier Ironcore.
There will be a story relating to HG's secret identity in the near future - and by "near", I mean, maybe this year.

No, he would see it immediately.

[snippy]
Ah, well, I'm glad to see that there was enough there to encourage some wild speculation. We shall see how much of it is realised.

Well, hopefully it'll be better written.
