The Fake-i-fier is a device worn by Yugopotamians such as Mark Chang, who uses it to hide his true form from Earthlings other than Timmy Turner.
Information[]
The Fake-i-fier was used by Mark Chang to disguise himself on Earth so he could remain hidden from his fiancée Princess Mandie, and to blend in with the denizens of Earth as well. The Fake-i-fier frequently malfunctions when Mark is subject to physical affection or sweetness, turning him into random objects or back into his alien form during inconvenient times.
Description[]
The device is worn like a waistband. It has a dial shaped like a six-pointed asterisk with circles on each end, which is spun to make the user transform. In episodes from the first three seasons of the series, the circles are actually buttons that do things such as squirting slime ("Spaced Out") and making space pods come out of the device ("So Totally Spaced Out"). Sometimes when displays of affectionate behavior such as kissing come into contact with Mark, the device will malfunction and change Mark into a variety of objects.
Background[]
In the episode "New Squid In Town!", when Mark Chang arrived on Earth seeking refuge from his pre-arranged marriage to the violent and beautiful (ugly to him) Princess Mandie, he needed something to help keep him disguised amongst Earthlings. The Fake-i-fier device did just that, turning Mark into a normal-looking human boy. The device could also be used to change into a variety of costumes and monsters. In "Wishology!", when Yugopotamia was invaded by the Eliminators, they stole the Fake-i-fiers in order to disguise themselves as other people or objects, such as Timmy's family and friends. Later on, in Abracatraz, after Poof smashes up a few guarding Eliminators, Jorgen and others steal the Fake-i-fiers to pose as Eliminators and break out.
Variations[]
iFake[]
In Take and Fake, Mark uses a similar device dubbed the iFake. It resembles an iPod (hence the name), and also functions as a music player. It has a shuffle function that makes the user transform at random. Timmy Turner uses it to attend Trixie Tang's costume party.
