Line 115:
** Walter (and Mike) could qualify under [[Bald of Evil]], considering what they've done and continue to do.
** Also, the show is swarming with bald people for some reason, each with varying degrees of awesome.
* Saul Tigh from ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica (RDM)]]'' is an on-again, off-again example. While he regularly visits all segments of the personality spectrum save outright, unmitigated evil, when he does get into bad-assery mode, he does it spectacularly.
* ''[[Flashpoint (TV)|Flashpoint]]'' - SRU officers Ed Lane and Gregory Parker from the Canadian crime drama.
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''
Line 129:
** Mahone is awesome, though he only counts as Bald''ing'' Of Awesome.
* Captain Cragen from [[Law and Order SVU]].
* Michael Alfredo Garibaldi, gruff security chief of ''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]''. Started out as an on/off alcoholic with half a head full of hair, then, in later seasons, shaved it and became bald and [[Badass]]. But still a latent alcoholic. - Named for Giuseppe Garibaldi, the famous 19th century Italian guerrilla fighter, and not as a pun on "bald". A returning character [[Lampshade Hanging|hung a lampshade]] on it by asking; 'So, what happened to your hair?'
** G'Kar counts, too. G'Kar is just awesome all by himself.
** Lennier doesn't count, because Minbari do not have hair on their heads (although the men may grow beards).
Line 251:

* [[Hunter S Thompson]], especially when, while [[Refuge in Audacity|running for sheriff of Pitkin County]], he shaved off his remaining hair and mocked the crewcut front-runner as "my long-haired opponent".
* [[The Chessmaster]] + [[Bald of Awesome]] + [[Badass Moustache]] = [[Magnificent Bastard|Otto]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_146Bundesarchiv Bild 146-2005-0057,_Otto_von_Bismarck Otto von Bismarck.jpg |Von Bismarck]]

* Mark Messier, especially in his runs with the New York Rangers. His head was so awesome ''he defined power forward''' back in his heyday in the NHL. Oh, and he won the Stanley Cup twice as captain with the Edmonton Oilers in 1990 and the Rangers in 1994.
