Mismatched Eyes: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[11eyes]]'', Kakeru has a [[Eyes of Gold|blind right eye]], covered by an [[Eyepatch of Power|an overly large eyepatch]] and a completely normal blue left eye.

* Jio Freed from ''[[666 Satan]]'' has one blue and one red eye, as well as half-and-half hair. This is mainly to symbolize the fact that he [[Super-Powered Evil Side|is a host to Demon 1i, Satan]].

* In ''[[Another]]'', {{spoiler|there's the reverse-boatlights variant, when we find out that under Misaki's [[Eyepatch of Power]], hides a green clairvoyant glass eye ([[Creepy Doll|from a doll]]), in contrast to her right normal red.}}

 

* Delirium of The Endless, from ''[[The Sandman]]''. It's part of her overall chaotic look. This disappears when she pulls herself together to be serious. She hates doing this as it is hinted it actually causes her physical pain.

** Both lampshaded and subverted, as one line specifically states she can't remember which eye is supposed to be green and which one blue with sparkles. If you watch carefully, they do reverse from time to time.

* Nicodemus West in ''[[Doctor Strange]]: The Oath'' has one brown eye and one blue.

 

 

* Hiroyuki Morita's ''[[The Cat Returns]]''—Both the Cat King and the Cat Prince have different colored eyes. The King takes it further by being crosseyed and [[Cloudcuckoolander|crazy]].

* A nonhuman/humanlike appearance example: in Shane Acker's ''[[9|Nine]]'', the rims of [[Mad Oracle|6's]] lense eyes are mismatched in color (one is more gold-ish, while the other is a gray color.) [[Mad Eye|They're also different sizes.]]

* Brother Aidan's cat Pangur Ban from ''[[The Secret of Kells]]'', who has one blue eye and one green eye. The viewer may be interested to know that Aisling of [[The Fair Folk]] has green eyes, and human Brendan has blue.

* Tank from ''[[Surf's Up]]'', although it's very difficult to see (one blue, one brown).

* In ''[[28 Weeks Later]]'', the mother and her son have heterochromia. When she becomes a vector for [[The Virus]], it serves as a clue to her and her son's shared biological resistance to the [[Zombie Apocalypse|virus]], and an indicator of when they become exposed but remain unturned: one eye becomes bloodshot like a normal <s> zombie's</s> [[Not Using the Z Word|infected]] would, the other remains clear.

* ''[[X2: X-Men United]]'': Jason Stryker has differently-colored eyes, as does the illusory little girl he creates.

* In ''[[Don't Look Back (film)|Don't Look Back]]'', the characters' appearances slowly change over the course of the movie. Characters who are midway through their transformations often have mismatched eyes.

 

* Chip, the hero of Ira Levin's novel ''[[This Perfect Day]]'', has one brown and one green eye. This causes him some embarrassment, since he lives in a world where genetic engineering and restrictions on who may reproduce have produced a world of near-identical people, all of whom have brown eyes. He eventually has the green eye replaced by a brown one, as part of a scheme to lull the [[Big Bad]] into thinking he was finally accepting his role in society.

* Tyrion Lannister in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has, in addition to several other congenital defects, either heterochromia or partial aniridia, with one green eye and one black one.

* Hnick from Dmitri Yemets's book series ''Methodius Buslaev'' has one blue eye and one black eye according to book 3. Romasjusik is also described as having one golden eye and one orange eye. Both cases aren't natural, since the latter has artificial body, while former's body [[Nightmare Fuel|is stitched from at last two different corpses.]]

 

* Chief Inspector Derek Conway in ''[[The Bill]]'' had this condition, mainly because the actor who played him did as well (and they didn't want to bother mucking about with contact lenses trying to make his eyes the same colour).

* In one chapter of ''[[Goosebumps]]'' TV adaptation, there is a girl, best friend of the protagonist of that episode who has different coloured eyes, one blue and one in a darker greenish tone. That's because {{spoiler|she is in fact a huskie dog, and all the kids in town, protagonist included, were puppies genetically modified to become human}}.

* Agent Kensi Blye on ''[[NCIS: Los Angeles]]'' has one dark brown eye and one hazel eye.

 

* Murdoc Niccals of the virtual band [[Gorillaz]] has two different colored eyes, one black and one red.

** 2D temporarily had this during his coma year, as one eye was normal and the other fully black due to a fracture.

** [[Vocaloid|Utatane Piko]] has one blue eye and one green eye.

 

* [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] wrestler [[Kane (wrestling)|Kane]] has one light-blue eye and one brown eye, with the pupils being slightly different sizes (an effect achieved by the wrestler wearing non-matching contacts, like [[Marilyn Manson]]). Early in his run, it was implied that the blue eye was actually damaged by the fire which had "scarred" him, and that he was blind in that eye. Note to the WWE brain-trust: even we wrestling fans realize that eye color does not work that way.

** Actually, the original implication wasn't that the fire caused Kane's eye to become miscolored, but that it was a ''false'' eye altogether, implying that not only had Kane lost ''sight'' in that eye, he physically lost the ''eye'' as well. This was ignored as the years went on, and now the mismatched eyes aren't even commented on at all, but because it's such a well known feature of the character, it has remained despite no longer even seeming to matter in [[Continuity Snarl|the character's admittedly screwed up history.]]

 

* In the world of Marus, as depicted in ''[[Adventures in Odyssey]]'''s ''Passages'' tie-in episode, different-colored eyes are recognized as a sign of prophecy. Interworldly interloper Alice physically goes from having brown eyes to blue and green, then loses them again when her time as [[God|The Unseen One]]'s messenger is up.

 

* Shelyn, the Goddess of love and beauty in ''[[Pathfinder]]'' sometimes appears with one blue eye and one silver eye.

 

* The play ''Redwood Curtain'' is centered on a young Vietnamese girl who was adopted by an American family. She has "eyes like a husky dog" (one blue, one dark). When she meets a homeless Vietnam vet who has similar eyes, she starts wondering if he could be her biological father. {{spoiler|He's not, but he knows who is.}}

 

* In ''[[Quintessence]]: The Blighted Venom'', Kardian (Alden) performs an operation on Lunair using Reivier's eye to cause her right eye to turn green whenever Shanti takes control, as a warning.

* An updated artwork of Louis Cyphre from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei II]]'' shows that he has a red pupil on the right, and blue on the left to indicate that he's no he.

* Ironhead from ''[[Swim Ikachan]]'' has a right red eye and a blue left eye, although you couldn't tell the latter's colour in his [[The Cameo|cameo appearance]] in ''[[Vieo Game/Cave Story|Cave Story]]'', since it can only be seen when he's facing left.

* Johnny Powell in ''[[The Darkness (video game)|The Darkness]] 2''. They're both blue, but his left eye's abnormal.

 

== [[Visual Novels]] ==

* Mary's normally blue eye right turned to gold six months before the story started in ''[[Shikkoku no Sharnoth]]''. The golden eye is somewhat magical and a macguffin throughout the story. {{spoiler|Near the end, Charlotte's left eye also turns gold, but it changes back eventually.}}

 

* Mannick from ''[[Charby the Vampirate]]'' has a red right eye, and grey (blue in some comics) left eye. It doesn't appear to mean anything in particular.

* Sifris from ''[[Pink Black]]'' has a blue eye and a pink eye. This is never really noted or explained, so it is possibly normal.

* ''[[Patchwork and Lace]]'' features Sheol, who not only has different eye colours, but [[Flesh Golem|different-shaped eye slits]].

 

* Chaz Villette from ''[[Shadow Unit]]'' has one brown eye and one greenish-hazel.

* Achmed the Snake from the ''Rhapsody Chronicles'' has eyes that are not only mismatched in color, but also in size, shape, and quite probably, species. Also, a face that looks like scar tissue, apparently.

* In ''[[The Masked Girl]]'', Griffin has one brown-red eye and one blue eye.

* Several characters from ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' such as Marzipan (one of her eyes is larger than the other), Bubs (one blue eye and one black eye), the Poopsmith (one black eye and one white eye), and Hyperactive Strong Sad.

 

* Mr. Lee from ''[[Alpha Teens On Machines|A.T.O.M.]]'' spend most of the first season as blue-eyed... then suddenly he appears with different-colored eyes. No one (except viewers) seemed to notice. {{spoiler|And the next thing we know, he's revealed as [[Evil All Along]]. He turns out to be a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]. and an [[Evilutionary Biologist]] to boot.}}

* ''[[The Batman]]'s'' version of Tony Zucco (the guy that killed Dick Grayson's parents) actually has a blue right eye, and a brown left eye.

* Harry the tomcat from ''[[The Garfield Show]]'' has the red/green combination.

* In ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'', Nutty has one black eye and one green lazy eye.

* Max the cat from ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' has one green eye and one blue.

* Not official, but some fan art depicts Odd of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' with mismatched eyes (usually a purple one).
