Lantern Jaw of Justice: Difference between revisions

Line 54:

** And Sergeant Fluffy. Of course, the villainous Ultra-Conservative also has a very strong chin...

* British comic hero ''Bananaman'', as a parody of the genre, naturally possesses one of these.

* Even as a gangly teenager, [[Captain America|Steve Rogers]] had a bit of this going on. As Marvel's foremost [[The Cape|Cape]], he tended to have a strong chin no matter who was drawing him. Lampshaded a little when a new love interest, Bernie Rosenthal, was introduced in the 80's - she had a chin cleft, and the first thing she said to him was that he had one too.

* Ironically enough, the [[Green Lantern|Green Lanterns]] tend not to have prominent jaws, [http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8194/newhalwog.jpg Kilowog] aside.

* [[Preacher (Comic Book)]]: Averted with The Saint of all Killers. His lantern jaw rivals that of Clark Kent's, but there's [[Complete Monster|nothing just about him]].

Line 99:

* ''[[Chuck]]'' - under pentathol, Chuck tells John Casey, "Your jaw was sculpted by Michaelangelo himself."

* Seeing as Adam Baldwin plays John Casey, that means [[Firefly|Jayne Cobb]] also has a [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]], although it is partially obscured by his [[Badass Beard|Badass Goatee.]]

* Both futuristic journalist Edison Carter and his AI counterpart [[Max Headroom]] have lantern jaws, though given Max's preference for snark and mischief over heroism, the "justice" part usually only applies to Edison.

* Captain Jack Harkness, from ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Torchwood]]''.

** And [[The Nth Doctor|the Eleventh Doctor]].

* Captain Falcon of ''[[F-Zero]]'' and [[Super Smash Bros|FALCON PUUUUUNCH]] fame.

* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]], [[Heel Face Revolving Door|one time]] [[The Dragon|Dragon]] and [[Heel Face Revolving Door|one time]] [[Big Bad]] [[Ratchet and Clank|Captain Qwark]] has one of these. Ratchet even mentioned it when eulogizing him.

* ''[[Freddie Hardest]]'' from the obscure self-titled MSX games had as his only distinguishing feature a chin the size of a pair of melons.

Line 141:

** The Knight unit in [[Warcraft]] 3 has a very large chin. There's no cleft, but there is [[Perma-Stubble|manly stubble]].

* [[Wolfenstein (2009 video game)]]: B.J. Blazkowicz has [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/1302/179380-bj_wolfenstein_3d_large.jpg a truly] ''[http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2009/03/Week%20of%20Wolfenstein/Wolfenstein%20made%20Lucy%20Liu%20Cry/ART/Finished/030609_wolfensteing_obs04v2--article_image.jpg colossal]'' [http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2009/03/Week%20of%20Wolfenstein/Wolfenstein%20Retro/ART/Finished/Wolfen3DEnding--article_image.jpg lantern jaw].

* [[Punch-Out!!]]: Super Macho Man sports an impressive jawline, but Glass Joe [[Achilles Heel|doesn't.]]

* [[Punch-Out!!]]: Super Macho Man sports an impressive jawline, but Glass Joe [[Achilles' Heel|doesn't.]]

* [[Running Gag|Ash]] in the ''[[Evil Dead]]'' games.

* Playable character from ''[[Time Splitters]] 2'', Hank Nova is described in his gallery info as having "the squarest jaw the galaxy has ever seen."

Line 167:

* ''[[Drawn Together]]'s'' Captain Hero, another superhero parody, also sports one.

* Buck Tuddrussel from ''[[Time Squad]],'' who is both super-heroic and [[Dumb Muscle|super-dumb.]]

* ''[[The Tick]]'', people!

* ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'', people!

* Pretty much all the guys in the [[DCAU]] have these, except the Flash. They're not pronounced, but they're there. Thank Bruce Timm's drawing style for this.

* Every (male) Cybertronian in ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' has a ''giant'' chin, even [[Cyber Cyclops|Shockwave]], who ''doesn't have a face''. [[Jerkass|Sentinel Prime]] is probably the most prominent example. He was an [[Expy]] of [[The Tick]], [[Actor Allusion|modeled after Townsend Coleman was cast as his voice actor]]. Lead character designer Derrick J. Wyatt lampshaded this on [http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/10/tfa-s3-chin-on.html one of his blog-posts] (titled "[[Transformers Headmasters|Chin On!]]") where he assured us the characters in season three will have no lack of chins:

{{quote|'''Wyatt''': These new chins could even be so unstoppably huge and heroic, they may have even the simplest of Cybertronians [[Stealth Pun|bellowing out the names of common Earthen table utensils]].}}

* [[Samurai Jack]] started out with a prominent chin...that grew bigger and bigger as the show progressed. Eventually it took up exactly half the length of his entire face.
