In this paper we study the notion of $C^{(n)}$ -supercompactness introduced by Bagaria in [3] and prove the identity crises phenomenon for such class. Specifically, we show that consistently the least supercompact is strictly below the least $C^{(1)}$ -supercompact but also that the least supercompact is $C^{(1)}$ -supercompact (and even $C^{(n)}$ -supercompact). Furthermore, we prove that under suitable hypothesis the ultimate identity crises is also possible. These results solve several questions posed by Bagaria and Tsaprounis.
