When a character gets a scar, it’s usually from a sword or knife fight (and the occasional fire) or a childhood accident. But just because they have a scar doesn’t mean that it can’t be freakin’ awesome looking. Mainly it has to have a cool shape or be in a very noticeable place or have a cool back story. Sometimes it may be a Mark of Shame or a Distinguishing Mark.
Compare and contrast with Scar Tropes and Rule of Cool.
Examples of Cool Scars include:

- Zoro from One Piece has scars, one on his left eye and a huge one in his chest. These cool scars were from his many battles.

- While they’re not exactly scars the tracer marks from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's' look pretty cool, specifically Yusei’s.
- Fullmetal Alchemist has Scar, who has an "X"-shape scar on his face, which he got from an encounter with Kimblee (anime) or an explosion, which Kimblee sets off to kill off the Ishvalan bystanders (manga).
