Line 45:
* A famous example in Commander William Riker's beard in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' which not only signaled the moment when he was a Kirk clone no more but also created the trope [[Growing the Beard]] marking when the series started improving to become the television classic it would be.
* [[Invisibility|Claude]]'s beard on ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', though this may have something to with being a [[Homeless Hero]] and a [[Homeless Pigeon Person]]. It was also to make him less obviously The Doctor.
* [[Cool Old Guy|Bobby]] [[Only Sane Man|Singer]] on ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''.
Line 95:
* ''[[Monk]]'''s Captain Stottlemeyer sports this distinctive mustache.
* Lampshaded on ''[[That '70s Show]]'' when Kelso joins the police academy and grows a mustache purely because of his new career choice.
* In keeping with some of the more "mildly trustworthy" points on the scale illustrated, Ray Carling from ''[[Life
Line 103:
==== [[Video Games]] ====
* [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Mario and Luigi]] are two of the more iconic mustachioed heroes, as a simple mouth on the primitive game sprites wouldn't show as well.
** In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', "Stache" is the statistic with the functions normally associated with Luck.
* Kai Kitamura from ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Original Generation''. The [[Super Robot]] Soulgain also sports a metal moustache, though its pilot Axel Almer doesn't sport one. And yes, he's still a military man.
Line 191:
* Worf of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' brought honor to the goatee and little else.
** Likewise, Captain Sisko looked pretty [[Badass]] with his facial hair in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''.
* Telemachus Rhade from ''[[Gene Roddenberry Andromeda]]'' is another [[Warrior Poet]] who carried a goatee.
* Ronon Dex of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' is another goateed [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]].
* Ironically, the very goatee styled as "Very Evil" in the picture above sat one the only non-evil character in his entire universe: Mirror Spock, who was at worst an anti-hero and more likely a hero with a bad start.
Line 272:
==== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ====
* Yoki, a former [[Corrupt Bureaucrat]] and [[Dirty Coward]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has one, although he later becomes more likable; Buccaneer also wears one, but he's an incredibly badass good-guy.
Line 322:
These type of characters will often have a Lenin '''open goatee''', Stalin '''full mustache''', or a full-on '''Marx beard'''.
==== [[
* "By the Whiskers of [[Captain Ersatz|Kürvi]] [[Josef Stalin|Tasch]]!" was the stock required greeting in [[Ruritania|Borduria]], the ''[[Tintin]]'' series's expy for [[Cold War|Eastern Europe]]. The Josef Stalin full handlebar moustache ([[Law of Chromatic Superiority|black and red]]?) was also the symbol of the state party.
==== [[Film]] ====
* Many [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] supporting characters fall into this, although no [[Big Bad]] in any Bond film was bearded until Hugo Drax in ''[[Moonraker (film)|Moonraker]]''.
* In Hitchcock's ''Topaz'', most Cubans had Fidel Castro's beard, and even uniform, maybe suggesting a personality cult or anything. They were sometimes hard to differentiate: the main villain, fortunately [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience|was red-bearded]]. Fortunately, female Cubans did not sport beards.
Line 545:
==== [[Comic Books]] ====
* [[Morbius
Line 656:
==== [[Western Animation]] ====
* There is, in fact, one of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' Halloween specials wherein Snake, the notorious white trash criminal, gives his hair to be donated after he has been executed. It is given to Homer, and the [[Evil Hand|Evil Hair (theatre)]] makes him kill Apu, Moe, threaten Bart, and otherwise epitomize Bad.
* [[Beavis and Butt-Head|Beavis]] has one.
* Billy's father Harold in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' has a pompadour that actually houses his brain.
Line 692:
==== [[Professional Wrestling]] ====
* Or [[
Line 750:
===== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] =====
* Rue in ''[[Princess Tutu (anime)|Princess Tutu]]'' has wild, curly hair, which makes sense as she's the [[Dark Magical Girl]]. {{spoiler|However, she later goes through a [[Heel Face Turn]] and keeps the curls.}}
* [[Count Cain]]'s Jezebel, who is an [[Ax Crazy]] antagonist ''and'' possesses a childlike innocence.
Line 766:
===== [[Literature]] =====
* [[The Prisoner of Zenda|Rupert of Hentzau]]
* Johnathan Teatime from ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'' has boyish blond curls... and is also [[
* Claggart in ''[[Billy Budd (novel)|Billy Buddy]]'' is described as having "silken jet curls". You can tell he's [[Chaotic Evil]].
