Game Face: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''

** Vampires have a human face, and a demonic face. The demonic face has bumps along their foreheads, yellow eyes, and of course, fangs. Some vampires were [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]ed into their demon face, such as The Master and Kakistos, presumably because of their extreme age (the Master being identified as the oldest known vampire at the time of his introduction).

It's implied that their demon face is stronger, given Xander told Angel to put his Game Face on during the Season One Finale, and it's confirmed in the spin-off (see below).

** On the flip side, there was [[Dracula]], who had only a human face—but had perpetual fangs. Spike said it was due to gypsy magic, which was the [[Hand Wave]] used to explain all the ways Dracula differed from other Buffyverse vampires

** Vengeance demons as well.

* ''[[Angel]]''

** The vampires. Angel even kept it [[Hilarity Ensues|when turned into a muppet]]. One episode states that he gets stronger with his Game Face, but his bloodlust also increases.

⚫

** Vampires' demonic faces become much worse (and the advantages and drawbacks both get amped up) in the dimension of Pylea. Angel changes his face during a fight, and turns into a ferocious demon with green skin, red eyes, and horns. His strength and durability massively increased, but he could barely control his bloodlust in this form and nearly kills all his friends, and when he finally changes back to his human form, he's horrified.

** Doyle had one too; his demon form has green skin and is covered in [[Spikes of Villainy]]. He's stronger in demon form, but prefers his human form, but this is because he likes to pass for (relatively) human, not due to bloodlust. Played for humor in that Doyle would involuntarily shift to his demon form (though only for a moment) when he sneezed.

** Also Jasmine, with her maggoty, revolting true face and her beautiful false one.

Line 98:

Line 95:

* In the ''[[Lost in Space]]'' Episode “The Golden Man” (Season 2, Episode 15), Mr. Keema proposes to Dr. Smith that in exchange for the weapons from the Jupiter 2 to defeat his enemy the frog faced alien, he will transport Doctor Smith back to Earth. Dr. Smith brings the weapons without permission. As he is talking to the handsome alien about extending the hand of friendship, Mr. Keema transforms himself into his twisted ugly self and then tells Smith that after he disposes of the frog alien, he intends to destroy the earthlings.

* ''[[Charmed]]'' has half demon-half human hybrids able to do this. Cole has a human form but has to embrace his demon self fully if he wants to tap into his powers. The demon self comes complete with red skin and black tribal markings.

* It's pretty rare when a [[Humongous Mecha]] can do this, but in ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]'', the [[Damn, Nature! You Scary| Wild Force Megazord]] does just that, it's human-like face turning feral and ferocious, baring fangs, right before it unleashes divine fury upon a foe.
