I still do like that Gwen scene - and I think it's fair to count it as a "mug and replace" scene, even if Spider-Gwen already has a duplicate outfit ready.

Meanwhile, Jessica Drew is one of the most disappointing characters in the Marvel universe when it comes to USB scenes. The comics have established her as a skilled espionage agent and master of disguise, yet she rarely mugs anyone for those disguises.

There's an old episode of the Spider-Woman animated series where Jessica infiltrates a group of Amazons. She needs a disguise, but instead of knocking out one of the real Amazons, she just grabs a uniform that's conveniently hanging on a hook. :roll:

In the Guiding Light episode from May 5, 2000, the villainess Carmen Santos is being held in prison. She fakes illness and is taken to the prison hospital, where she chloroforms a nurse and knocks her out.

But... rather than steal the nurse's uniform, she has a male associate bring her out of the hospital in a wheelchair, while he's disguised as an orderly. Carmen does not change her clothes at all.

Knockout scene is at 25:10.

This scene from an episode of The Littlest Hobo, a 1980s TV drama, is about as perfect setup for a uniform steal as I've seen lately...

A female convict has escaped from prison and hides in a stable yard where horses are kept. A young blonde in an equestrian uniform walks by, and the villainess leaps out, knocks her unconscious, and drags her into one of the stables.

We later see the blonde bound and gagged (she is freed by a dog), but still in her uniform.

Knockout at 11:15. Aftermath at 12:30.
