Villains, especially cartoon villains, are remarkably narcissistic and prone to childish vandalism. Whenever there's a landmark with a famous face on it, there's a good chance the villain will demonstrate his need for attention by putting their own face on it instead (or some ridiculous caricature of a real face, to emphasize their whimsicality). Mount Rushmore (which features U.S. Presidents [[George Washington|Washington]], [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]], [[Theodore Roosevelt|Teddy Roosevelt]] and [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]], in case you've forgotten) is an especially frequent target of this; the [[Statue of Liberty]] and the Great Sphinx of Giza are other popular venues for refacement.
 
An alternative, less sinister refacement would be simply adding more heads, either for parody purposes, or of notable future presidents.
