Iconic Item: Difference between revisions

Line 111:

* Speaking of [[Arm Cannon]] weaponry, there's also Ashley J. Williams from ''[[Evil Dead]]''. Only instead of an arm-gun, he lopped off his hand and lashed a ''chainsaw'' onto it. This and his sawed off, back-holstered, shotgun are easily the most iconic items for Ash.

* "[[Goldeneye (Film)|Walther PPK, 7.65 millimetre. Only three men I know use such a gun... and I believe I've killed two of them]]." [[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]] finds a newer Walther in ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies (Film)|Tomorrow Never Dies]]'', and uses it in the following movies up until ''[[Casino Royale (Film)|Casino Royale]]''. When promotional pictures from ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]'' showed him having gone back to the PPK [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|The Fandom Rejoiced]].

* [[Dollars Trilogy|The Man With No Name's]] distinctive {{color|green|g}} poncho

* [[Dollars Trilogy|The Man With No Name's]] distinctive {{color|green|green}} poncho

* ''[[Dirty Harry (Film)|Dirty Harry]]'s'' .44 Magnum, "the most powerful handgun in the world, that would blow your head clean off."

* [[A Nightmare On Elm Street (Film)|Freddy Krueger's]] clawed-glove.

* John [[Rambo]]'s M60, bow and Bowie knife. And the headband, usually {{color|red|r}}.

* [[The Stoic|Mace Windu's]] {{color|purple|p}} [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] and Darth Maul's double-bladed [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] are unique <s>one-of-a-kind</s> weapons in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' movies (all [[Laser Blade|lightsabers]] are different, but [[The Stoic|Windu]] and Maul's are the only ones of their kind seen). Notably, the {{color|purple|p}} [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] was [[Samuel L Jackson]]'s only demand for accepting the role.

* [[The Stoic|Mace Windu's]] {{color|purple|purple}} [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] and Darth Maul's double-bladed [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] are unique <s>one-of-a-kind</s> weapons in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' movies (all [[Laser Blade|lightsabers]] are different, but [[The Stoic|Windu]] and Maul's are the only ones of their kind seen). Notably, the {{color|purple|purple}} [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] was [[Samuel L Jackson]]'s only demand for accepting the role.

* [[The Phantom of the Opera]] - The Phantom's white half mask.

* [[Zorro]]'s black mask and Andalusian hat (in the novel he originally wore a sombrero). To a lesser degree his sword and bullwhip.

Line 263:

** Luigi has never had an appearance in a game without his hat. In [[Super Mario Galaxy]] and the sequel, he keeps it on all the time, while Mario sometimes takes his off for a few seconds.

** In [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]], {{spoiler|Luma takes Mario's hat in the ending.}} He's not too happy about it.

* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s {{color|red|r}} sneakers. [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Certain]] [[Sonic the Comic|sources]] say that these are actually specifically designed for him, to avoid burning his feet while running.

** [[The Protagonist|Sonic's]] nemesis Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik also has his Eggmobile, a rotund hovercraft that is used as his personal transport and as the cockpit of his maned machines.

** Amy Rose is rarely seen without her [[Drop the Hammer|hammer]] expect in [[Sonic the Comic]] when she uses a crossbow.

** [[The Protagonist|Sonic]] and [[Kid Appeal Character|Tails']] biplane, The Tornado.

* Proto Man's {{color|gold|y}} scarf & Zero's Z-Saber from the ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]'' & ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'' games. The latter item was changed to an even more iconic, triangular shaped appearance in ''[[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]]''.

* Proto Man's {{color|gold|yellow}} scarf & Zero's Z-Saber from the ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]'' & ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]]'' games. The latter item was changed to an even more iconic, triangular shaped appearance in ''[[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]]''.

** Zero's helmet is used for a particularly symbolic, yet sad, example in ''Zero 4''. {{spoiler|It's lying on the ground broken, and Zero is dead, and he doesn't have to fight anymore; because, whether or not Zero survived (''still'' heavily disputed by the fanbase) the war is over.}}

** ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]] and Bass'' has the helmet of the character you are playing as lying on the ground if you got a game over.

** Proto Man's shield is iconic enough that {{spoiler|Mega Man was shocked when Proto Man gave him his shield in ''7''. It's an equippable item in that same game.}} In fact, his kart and transportation items are all modeled after his shield.

** Similar to the Eggmobile example above would be Wily's Capsule, often described as "the form that will haunt ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]'' for ''ages''."

* Ryu's {{color|red|r}} headband ([[It Was a Gift|given to him by]] Ken, who previously used it as a hairtie back in ''[[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Alpha]]'') from ''[[Street Fighter]]''.

* Ryu's {{color|red|red}} headband ([[It Was a Gift|given to him by]] Ken, who previously used it as a hairtie back in ''[[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Alpha]]'') from ''[[Street Fighter]]''.

** From the same series, we also have Akuma's prayer beads (used for a [[Shout Out]] in ''[[Mega Man X|Mega Man X4]]''), [[Kick Chick|Chun-Li's]] spiked bracelets, and Vega's mask.

** In the manga ''Ryu Final: [[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Street Fighter III]]'', {{spoiler|Ryu has tied his headband to a post in the ruins of Suzaku Temple, where he trained with his master and eventually faced Akuma in one [[Final Battle]]. Aspiring warriors travel to this location to find the headband, where Ryu awaits. It is a symbol of how he has finally achieved peace as a warrior, and now dedicates himself to raising the younger generation.}}

** [[Cute Bruiser|Sakura]]'s white headband mimics her hero Ryu's headband from his early days as a street fighter, before Ken replaced it with the {{color|red|r}} one.

** There are several others. [[Lady of War|Rose]]'s [[Scarf of Asskicking]], Guile and Charlie's dogtags (Guile later taking the presumably KIA Charlie's dogtags for his own), Dhalsim's necklace made out of the skulls of the children in his village who died from famine, [[Bruce Lee Clone|Fei Long]]'s nunchaku, Dee Jay's maracas, etc. Of special note is [[Final Fight|Guy's]] [[Nice Shoes|sneakers]], popular enough to spawn a [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] ("''[[Take That|Real]]'' [[Ninja|ninjas]] wear [[Product Placement|Nikes]]!").

* ''[[Half Life]]'' - Gordon Freeman's crowbar. Somewhat subverted in that it really is just an ordinary crowbar. To date he's had five (and subsequently lost four) of them. Also the Gravity Gun in ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]'' and its episodes. And the [[Powered Armor|HEV suit]].

* Garrus Vakarian's visor in ''[[Mass Effect]]'', and Commander Shepard's N7 armor.

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'': Link's hood and tunic, and to a lesser extent, the [[Cool Sword|Master Sword]]. More recent games even have the {{color|green|g}} tunic be a sign of Link's chosen status as the hero.

** Midna's headwear ({{spoiler|which is also an [[Artifact of Doom]]}}) in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|Twilight Princess]]''.

** Also the Hylian Shield in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''Twilight Princess''.
