Line 47:
* ''[[Seven Soldiers]]'' features the nefarious Subway Pirates, rival factions of which are led by the barbaric Allbeard (whose incredibly thick, long beard covers up pretty much his entire face) and the slick Nobeard (who has a [[Bald of Evil]] and is incapable of growing hair anywhere on his body). Mentions of other pirates from bygone eras of subway privateering are also made, including luminaries like Falsebeard and the like.<br /><br />For added hilarity, it's commonly accepted that Allbeard and Nobeard represent [[Alan Moore]] and ''[[Seven Soldiers]]'' writer [[Grant Morrison]], famously fur-faced and bald, respectively.
* Marvel's [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] old time villains Count Nefaria and Graviton.
* [[Empowered (Comic Book)|Willy Pete]], as a fire elemental, has a beard made of flame. [[Complete Monster|"Evil" is rather understating it.]]
* Inverted by the [[Pre Crisis]] version of Earth-3, home of the [[Justice League of America]]'s [[Evil Twin|Evil Twins]] - there, [[Lex Luthor]]'s Good Twin Alexander Luthor sports a goatee.
* Similar to the ''[[Star Trek]]'' example, in the ''[[Transformers]]'' [[Mirror Universe]] ''[[Transformers Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'', Rodimus has a goatee. [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Rodimus_goatee.jpg See.] Said universe also provides an example with {{spoiler|the evil Alpha Trion, although the [[Transformers Generation 1|regular Alpha Trion]] has similar facial hair}}
* Referenced in a universe-hopping arc of ''[[Cable (Comic Book)|Cable]] & [[Deadpool]]''. "How do I know you're not the anti-Siryn? Then again, you're not sporting the alternate-universe mandated evil goatee.."
* Minor [[Superman]] villain Amalak the [[Space Pirate]] was originally a rather forgettable-looking clean shaven guy with a red haired crew cut. In his final appearance, though, he had let his hair and beard [[Growing the Beard|grow out]] all scraggly, and it made him ten times scarier-looking than he had ever been before. Sadly, he got [[Killed Off for Real]] at the end of that story, and took his cool creepy beard with him.
** A [[Post-Crisis]] version of Amalak was introduced a couple of years ago. With the cool beard, naturally.
