{{quote|''A moustache can tell you a lot about a man. When properly administered, it can say, "this man has commanded spacecraft", "this man escorted Soviet bombers out of Canadian airspace", or "this man lived in a research vessel at the bottom of the ocean." These can be tall orders to live up to – having a moustache is a big responsibility.''|[https://chrishadfield.ca/about/ An Astronaut’s Guide To Col. Chris Hadfield]}}
Few things say [[Badass]] the way a well groomed handlebar mustache does. Well, [[Always Male|unless you're a woman]]. There's just something about a man who has almost half of his body weight compiled on his upper lip that ''screams'' "I'm all outta gum". A 'stache also works as an easy and quick way for an established character to [[Take a Level In Badass]]. It may also turn them into a [[Chick Magnet]].
Line 261 ⟶ 263:
** [[Lilliputians|Lilliputian]] [[Plant Person]] Emrick has a dashing little [[Errol Flynn]] pencil mustache to go with the tiny twig sword he wields.
** [[Rubber Forehead Alien]] [[Master Swordsman]] the Duelist sports a very long, pencil thin handlebar that advertises his villainous nature.
* Man-At-Arms/Duncan from ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]''. The original action figure showed him without one; it was added to the cartoon to make him look like a tougher, older veteran, and it certainly did the job.

Line 291 ⟶ 293:
* Steve Prefontaine
* [http://www.clt.astate.edu/wnarey/Honors%20Seminars_files/America%20Between%20the%20Wars/America%20Between%20the%20Wars%20Pix/Britons,%20Kitchener%20Wants%20You,%20Alfred%20Leete,%201914.jpg Lord Kitchener] has the archetypal WWI officer mustache, made famous though this popular British WWI recruitment poster
* ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [https://web.archive.org/web/20131203232400/http://www.cracked.com/funny-200-poland/ topic page about Poland] shows that the entire history of Poland is made of Badass Moustache.
* [[wikipedia:Vlad III the Impaler|Vlad Tepes]] has a really cool moustache, although it's rare that [[Dracula|media portrayals of him]] remember the 'stache.
* [[Jeopardy!|Alex Trebek]], until he shaved it off.
Line 297 ⟶ 299:

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20190710175939/http://www.switchbladecomb.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/donfrye.jpg Don Frye] is quite possibly the manliest [[Mixed Martial Arts|MMA fighter]] there has ever been, and that's saying a lot. His mustache has been speculated to gain him an extra two points per round [[Rated "M" for Manly|for just being awesome]].
* [[Frank Zappa]], imitating bandleader [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/52/Johnny_Otis.jpg Johnny Otis].
* John Oates
Line 309 ⟶ 311:
* [http://trueball.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/13-parros2.jpg George Parros]{{Dead link}}. Not only is he an [[The Big Guy|enforcer]], but he's a [[Genius Bruiser]] to boot.
* Cossacks are often thought of as having mustaches.
* [[Final Fantasy|Hironobu Sakaguchi]]. This man ''created [[Final Fantasy]]''. When he left [[Square Enix|Squaresoft]], their financial capital decreased. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120521054750/http://www.mcmbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Hironobu-Sakaguchi-Mistwalker.jpg Just check out his stache.]

The latter one [http://www.badassoftheweek.com/villa.html has been mentioned] in [[Badass of the Week]].
* [[Anil Kapoor]]: Indeed, when you see him WITHOUT said moustache, babies begin to cry. Loudly.
Line 350 ⟶ 352:
** Magnum TA, one of [[WCW|NWA Mid-Atlantic's]] most over faces, before he was forced into early retirement by a car crash, also sported a fu manchu.
* [[Reds with Rockets|Soviet]] [[Four-Star Badass|general]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140315032543/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f4/Bagramyan.jpg Ivan Bagramyan] combined Badass Mustache with [[Bald of Awesome]] and [[Chest of Medals]] to look like the classic military badass he was.
