And both have a tendency to adorn those uniforms with single letters of the alphabet. Stumped for a [[Chest Insignia]]? Just style up the first letter of your [[Code Name]] in sufficiently distinctive [[Useful Notes/Fonts|typeface]], and have at it!
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ichi of ''[[Ichi the Killer]]'' wears a big "1" on his back, since [[Meaningful Name|his name]] means "one" in Japanese.
* Similarly, ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'''s Keiichi, when he took part in the drag bike race, wore a jacket with "K-1" on the back. In the manga, he frequently signs his notes that way, as shorthand.
* ''[[Mazinger Z (Anime)|Mazinger Z]]'': Although the original series avoided this, in later retellings and spin-offs Mazinger-Z wore a big "Z" letter in such the chest, the Hover Pilder or the Jet Scrander.
* The big red R for Rocket of Team Rocket, general bad guys of the ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' series. Of course, there's also Teams Magma, Aqua, and Galactic - these three use a font style that's a bit more original, but there's still the 'M', 'A', and 'G'.
Line 74:
** "G" is for Galactus (on his belt buckle in his first appearance).
** "H" is for Hawkeye. And Hardball.
** "I" is for [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Mr Immortal]], the Man Who Can't Die [[Blessed With Suck|No Matter How Much He Really Wants To]], and leader of the aforementioned Great Lakes Initiative. His 'I' is in multiple places, with 'Mr.' written inside the letter itself, since it's just a big rectangle anyway.
** "N" is for Nomad.
** "P" is for Puck (of ''[[Alpha Flight]]'').
Line 136:
*** "C" is for [[Blow You Away|Cyclone]], [[Dishing Out Dirt|Claydoll]], [[Super Speed|Cockroach]], and [[Mook Maker|Commander]].
*** "D" is for [[Grim Reaper|Death]] and [[Identity Impostor|Dummy]].
*** "E" is for [[The Movie|Eternal]], [[Fire, Ice, Lightning|Engine]], [[Absurdly Sharp Blade|Edge]], [[Pure Energy|Energy]], and [[Evil Eye|Eyes]].
*** "F" is for [[The Berserker|Fang]].
*** "G" is for [[Biological Mashup|Gene]].
Line 163:
* Betty Suarez of ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' wears an identical "B" necklace.
* From ''[[Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers]]'':
** The members of [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Goranger]] all wear belt buckles shaped like a "5" ([[One, Two, Three, Four, Go|as in "Go" for five]]), while each of their helmets are individually numbered from 1 through 5.
** The four main members of [[JAKQ Dengekitai|J.A.K.Q.]] wear belt buckles shaped like a "J", as well as individualized helmets and badges engraved with the first letter of their respective "rank" ('''J'''ack, '''A'''ce, '''K'''ing and '''Q'''ueen). Big One wears a belt buckle shaped like a "B1" and a helmet with a "1" engraved on it.
** "BF" is for [[Battle Fever J|Battle Fever]] on the chest of the Battle Fever Robo. The individual members of the team have the first letters of their respective countries engraved on their belt buckles as well ('''{{color|red|J}}'''apan, '''{{color|fuchsia|A}}'''merica, '''{{color|green|K}}'''enya, '''{{color|blue|F}}'''rance and '''{{color|orange|C}}'''ossack, who represents the Soviet Union<ref>or is it CCCP?</ref>).
Line 283:
* "N" is for [[Captain N the Game Master]]. It's actually a Varsity letter on a Letterman jacket, so [[In Universe]], it's more of a convenience that his school's name and the company that produced his favored console (and the fact that Videoland is populated pretty exclusively by characters from or inspired by that company's games) share an initial letter.
* "KP" is for "[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]". She doesn't wear the insignia, but it does appear on the screen of her [[Comm Links|Kimmunicator]].
* "M" is for the [[The Voiceless|so-called]] Mysterious Mare Do Well of the [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|alike-titled]] ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|episode]], whose [[Full Body Disguise|full-body costume]] includes a [[Chest Insignia|cloak clasp bearing the letter]].
