Image translator

"I'm going to turn off my image translator. Try not to scream."

- Mrs Wormwood to Kelsey Harper

An image translator is a device that can be worn by aliens to project a human disguise. These translators can be in the form of jewelry and rings.

The Bane used image translators to diguise their true forms when they invaded Earth in 2009. However, the translators interfered with the Banes' abillity to read minds, requirering them to reveal their true forms to those whose minds they wanted to read.(SJA: Invasion of the Bane)
