Line 41:
** How about freaking Black Beard? {{spoiler|Took out Ace, killed White Beard with the help of his crew, and is set on the destruction of the world.}}
*** A particularly notable example, since each time he shows up again he's become more powerful and his beard is darker and fuller
** Also Brownbeard, whose beard [https://web.archive.org/web/20120617152141/http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110821115228/onepiece/images/thumb/1/1a/Brownbeard_2.JPG/200px-Brownbeard_2.JPG defies explanation].
* Lord Nightray from ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' has a Rasputin-style beard. Uncle Oscar's beard also looks pretty badass.
* Jigen from ''[[Lupin III]]''.
Line 58:
* Lucas Orion of the ''[[Atari Force]]'' first series, though his character was mostly a pacifist that won't fight.
* [http://www.asterion.se/haddock.jpeg Captain Haddock] in ''[[The Adventures of Tintin]]''. Because: Hey, what is a sailorman without his badass beard?
** His beard is pretty impressive in [[Tintin (film)|the recent motion-captured film, as well]]. [http://www.screened.com/captain-haddock/15-15371/all-images/132-2513116/the_adventures_of_tintin_movie_image_9/131-585799/ Behold!]{{Dead link}} Both him and the [[Beard of Evil|antagonist]] sport beards- between this and [[Lord of the Rings]], you get the impression [[Peter Jackson]] has a thing for them.
Line 66:
== Film ==
* ''[[Ivan the Terrible]]'': [http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/04/91/000a9104_medium.jpeg Ivan's beard defies gravity. And boyars.]{{Dead link}}
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120521025222/http://costumes.narniaweb.com/caspianbaddies/mirazcoronation2.jpg Miraz] in ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]: [[Prince Caspian]]'' is surrounded by bearded badguys, but his beard is the baddest one.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20070128201619/http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2002_The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Two_Towers/two_towers_009.jpg Rohirrim] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'': look particularly at Éomer and Théoden (interestingly, local [[Evil Chancellor|Wormtongue]] is clean-shaven).
** That's because in Middle Earth, shavin's fer SISSIES!
*** [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Did you just insult the entire Elven race?]]
Line 143:
* Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister of [[Motorhead]].
* Shavo Odadjian of [[System of a Down]] is famous for his braided beard.
* [http://www.pyromusic.net/images/interviews/31_1.jpg Johan Hegg]{{Dead link}} of [[Amon Amarth]] is about as well known for his long, Viking-inspired beard as for his vocals.
* Beards are all over the place in [[Country Music]], but some particularly badass ones include:
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20140827103828/http://www.hometowninvasion.com/photos/470/IMG_4673.jpg William Lee Golden] of [[The Oak Ridge Boys]].

** [http://www.cmt.com/sitewide/assets/img/artists/daniels_charlie/charliedaniels15-430x250.jpg Charlie Daniels].
** [http://www.nndb.com/people/995/000024923/hank-williams-jr-3-sized.jpg And of course], [[Hank Williams, Jr.|Hank Williams Jr]] , who gets extra Badass points for having grown it to cover up facial scars that resulted from him falling off a mountain.
Line 164:
* Mike Love of [[The Beach Boys]] grew a beard in the late '60s, although this arguably counts more as a [[Beard of Evil]] (since we are, after all, talking about [[The Scrappy|Mike Love]]).
** Brian Wilson also sported a beard at one point, though admittedly not one as Badass as his baseball namesake's (see [[Real Life]], below).
* [
* Producer Rick Rubin, whose beard has practically taken over his body:[https://web.archive.org/web/20131218235111/http://www4.images.coolspotters.com/photos/143088/rick-rubin-profile.png
Line 173:
* Travis "Tyson" Tomko, whose beard, tattoos, bald head, and black ring attire make him look like a total badass. [http://www.powerprowrestlingfigs.com/images/uploads/TysonTomko.jpg\]

* [http://www.legendschampionshipwrestling.com/uploaded_images/02-756687.jpg Hillbilly Jim] really went the extra mile to fit the look.
* [[Daniel Bryan]] has an official "Respect The Beard" t-shirt. His beard is so long it sometimes covers the "respect", so the shirt just reads "The Beard"
Line 262:
** King Radical, on the other hand, wins the award for most ridiculous beard that still manages to look badass. He also [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p79 gave a bunch of orphans beards] just because he loves all things awesome.
** The Ultimate Diplomat is a [[Badass Pacifist]] example.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20080726045541/http://pics.livejournal.com/beatonna/pic/0004eh1s/ Sandford Fleming in this Hark! A Vagrant strip.]
* Callous, a minor villain from ''[[Wright As Rayne]]'', [http://wrightasrayne.thecomicseries.com/comics/10 sports one of these.]
* Ryan and Jason of ''[[Remus]]'' each sport one. The badassery of Jason's is debatable, but Ryan's... [http://www.remuscomic.com/2012/03/05/020/ not so much.]{{Dead link}}
Line 314:
* [[Henrik Ibsen]]
* [[George Bernard Shaw]]
* [[Charles Darwin]]'s image is made instantly recognizable by his epic beard. This is even more impressive because he didn't grow the iconic beard until well after he published ''Origin''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20150907235903/http://www.jacksofscience.com/lol/great-beards-of-science-or-standing-on-the-beards-of-giants/ Beard of science, indeed.]
* [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Karl_Marx_001.jpg Karl Marx.] And we can't forget his less-famous co-author for the ''Manifesto of the Communist Party'', [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Engels.jpg Friedrich Engels]

* [[wikipedia:Crown Prince Haakon|Crown Prince Haakon of Norway]] married the love of his life, [[wikipedia:Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway|Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby]], despite her less than regal background, and afterwards grew a beard to show that he was a real badass who'd done the right thing.
* Aversions: [https://web.archive.org/web/20091005175740/http://www.cameronmcewan.com/projects/magazine/culture_blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/neckbeard.jpg The Neckbeard].
** It [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/File:MPost12037-motivator6105244fd4%2Ejpg protects the neck] from ninjas.
*** Either way, it's downright disturbing.
