Line 10:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Shishio Makoto from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' wears a headband lined with steel - the only piece of armor he wears. The reasoning lies in the events of his original 'fall', when he caught a bullet to the forehead, paralyzing him for a while, and giving his enemies time to burn him. He wears the headband to ensure that it never happens again, and it does indeed prove remarkably effective...
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Gauron]]}} of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' is revealed to have installed a titanium plate in his forehead due to an earlier injury, {{spoiler|and hence is the reason he survived [[Child Soldier|Sousuke's]] [[Pretty Little Headshots|bullet to the head]] and lives to terrorize poor Sousuke some more}}.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 22:
== [[Film]] - Live Action ==
* ''[[The A-Team (film)|The a Team]]'': in the movie, Lynch tries to shoot Morrison (who's wearing a hood). Instead it's Murdock, and the hood is actually filled with melted ceramic plates.
* ''[[Faster]]''. Driver has a steel plate which he got after being shot in the head by the men he's now hunting down in his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]. {{spoiler|At the end of the movie it saves his life after Cop shoots him in the back of the head.}}
* ''[[Scanner Cop]]''. The [[Big Bad]] initially resists the protagonist's psychic attack because of his steel plate, though it peels away the hair on his head. The cop then concentrates really hard and [[Your Head Asplode|gets the desired result]].
* ''[[Kick-Ass]]''. After his disastrous first attempt at being a superhero the protagonist ends up with a lot of metal in his body, making it a little difficult to knock him out.
Line 31:
* In ''[[Discworld/Witches Abroad|Witches Abroad]]'', Nanny Ogg has a [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|farmhouse land on her head]], but is protected by her extremely sturdy hat. Hats that stop farmhouses becomes a running joke, reappearing in later books.
* ''[[The Tommyknockers]]'' by [[Stephen King]]. Gardener and Ev Hillman are immune to the [[Body Horror]] effects of the spaceship, because they have metal plates in their heads (Gardener bcause of a skiing accident, Ev because of a war wound). Anne (Bobbi's sister) is apparently helped a bit by her extensive metal dental work, but not quite as much as the two with skull plates.
* ''[[The Supernaturalist]]'': Cosmo Hill gets a piece of tank armor grafted to his skull from improvised surgery. Allows him to headbutt his way through bulletproof glass.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
