gonna have to reject this.
What is it with this place and the obsession with alignments lol... Look I really don't mind what alignment the role is, this topic is about the role itself.

Just ignore his second point. I like this role.
It was originally NE, but the problem was:
1. It can't win with NKs - NEs win with anyone but town
2. It becomes too easy to find out if there's a Wannabe - Wannabes can only win if Mafia doesn't realise there is one, otherwise they would always lynch the Wannabe first.

I'll just have to convince you.
Why play as a role that doesn't do anything but wait for the Mafia to win, then steal it?
When you can play as a role that does do things, and wins with them?
As Majestic said, the Wannabe does do things. The main idea of this role, the uniqueness, it comes from the goal - It wins with Mafia, but Mafia doesn't win with it.

Actually, I do see one downside. How would the mafia know there's a wannabe if they always disguise as someone else? Do they just have to get lucky?
Well if the Mafia could find out if there was a Wannabe, they would make sure he is lynched before the last town, making it impossible for the Wannabe to win without a kingmaker. One thing I could do is add an ability so if they die, the Wannabe is only revealed as whatever role they disguised as. So the Mafia can never know if the Wannabe is really dead. But that may be too much like the new Disguiser.
Basically, the Mafia have to scumread to find the Wannabe. But you're right, this may make it quite hard for the Mafia, I need to find a balance between the two.
Thanks for the support!!
