Line 22:
* An antagonistic (and possibly [[Anti-Villain]]) example from ''[[One Piece]]'' is vice-admiral Doberman, who has no less than six X-shaped scars scattered across his face and neck.
** Coby also got one above his right eye when he [[Took a Level In Badass]].
** Anti-hero X Drake has one on his chin.
** Laboon, a whale, is covered in x-shaped scars from his attempts to destroy Reverse Mountain by bashing it with his head.
** After the {{spoiler|[[Time Skip]]}}, Luffy also has a huge X shaped scar on his chest. He got it from {{spoiler|Admiral Akainu during the war at Marineford.}} If you check him out while {{spoiler|Jimbei}} is carrying him, you can see it's still fresh.
* Double subverted in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Scar, who has one of these across his forehead, starts out as a [[He Who Fights Monsters]]-style [[Anti-Villain]], but the ensuing [[Character Development]] slowly [[Heel Face Turn|turns him into]] an [[Anti-Hero]] instead.
Line 36:
* {{spoiler|Sora}} from ''[[Shitsurakuen]]'' has one of these.
* In ''[[DOGS Bullets and Carnage]]'', Naoto has one on her chest.
* Tsukune Aono from ''[[Rosario to+ Vampire]]'' has a huge one on his chest, among several smaller scars. Got it from a random [[Mook]], but it also marks the first time he released his ghoul powers without Moka's aide.
* {{spoiler|Captain Miria}} from ''[[Claymore]]'' recently came [[Back From the Dead]], sporting an X-shaped scar across her face and looking more badass than ever.
* ''[[Katanagatari]]'s'' main character has this by the end of the series, though it is explicitly shown how he got it. {{spoiler|From intentionally taking two ''bullets'' to the face and body.}}}
* Apollo from ''[[Genesis of Aquarion]]'' has one on his cheek. It's never mentioned how he got it.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Manji]] of ''[[Blade of the Immortal]]'' sports several on the right side of his face, caused by two horizontal scars {{spoiler|and one vertical [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|scar]] running ''through'' his right eye, causing him to be blind on that side}}.
* Bean Bandit from [[Riding Bean]] - and its successor, [[Gunsmith Cats]] - sports one centered right between his eyes.
* Takuto Tsunashi in [[Star Driver]] has an X-shaped Mark on his chest.
 
Line 53:
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Insistent Terminology|Captain]] Jack Sparrow gets one on his cheekbone in time for the fourth [[Pirates of the Caribbean]] movie, though we never get an explanation as to how he got it.
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In the latter books of ''[[The Dark Tower]]'', Callahan has a cross-shaped scar. It was a memento from two would-be killers, who had tried to carve a swastika into his forehead, but were interrupted.
* Redeemed Ulic Qel-Droma, from the Tales of the Jedi series, has this scar on his forehead.
* Ripred from [[The Underland Chronicles|Gregor the Overlander]] gets this type of scar near the end of the fifth book {{spoiler|from himself, so he could fill the role of the a person from one of Sandwich's prophecies.}}
 
 
Line 64:
* Tibarn from ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' has a large one where the horizontal cut extends across his nose and onto his other cheek.
** Og[[Spell My Name with an "S"|(u)]]ma from the same series also has one.
** It seems to be popular with the mercenaries. Dieck from Sword of Seals has one on his shoulder.
* This is an option for your custom characters in ''[[Soul Calibur]] 3''
* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' allows the player to give Shepard this particular scar. [[Deadly Doctor|Mordin Solus]] also has one.
