Exactly. She looks sort of rat-faced, but no-one would think she's actually a swarm of 2-lb Norway rats :)

Gait recognition software exists too. So don't forget to change shoes before getting into costume.

I saw a different version of the software on a documentary and they managed about 99.7% accuracy so 3 in a thousand incorrect. (With a mapped background)

Good point. Hmmm. I wonder how to represent this with a roll? Acting perhaps?

It's an impractical method of identifying a superhero for the most part. You have to already basically know the superhero's identity and are just confirming.
