Bristol Novelty BW660 Wizard Wig and Long Beard, White, One Size

Product Information

In the Honor Harrington books, the viciously evil Pavel Young cultivates a goatee, partly to hide his double chin.

Sunburst has a long and somewhat scraggly goatee. Played with — the beard, alongside his messy and book-filled study and his star-spangled cape, helps reinforce the appearance in " The Crystalling" that he's a successful and powerful wizard. However, he isn't actually good at using magic and never became a wizard, although he is a very knowledgeable scholar of arcane lore. When one day, you’re able to look in the mirror and think, “Yes! This is exactly what I wanted!” then you’ve reached your personal definition of a big beard. In Batman Begins, Ra's al Ghul's and Henri Ducard's fu manchus are our first clue that the League of Shadows is evil. (Well, the first clue for those who hadn't read the comic books.) Bruce Wayne also sports a rather scraggly beard at the beginning of the film, but it's gone by the time he disavows killing and severs ties with the League. The most powerful wizard in the Empire, Balthasar Gelt, probably does not have a beard, and even if he does it is sufficiently small to conceal entirely behind the golden facemask he wears at all times.Subverted with the War Doctor, played by a bearded John Hurt. While Ten and Eleven certainly act like he's an unforgivable monster, at least at first, they eventually come to regret trying to forget him and accept him as "truly" the Doctor, although he still doesn't count for official numbering. Ironically enough, the actual evil Doctor pseudo-incarnation, the Valeyard from "The Ultimate Foe", is clean-shaven.

Chikara has had several " monsters" but Tursas was the first to have a beard requiring physical restraints.

Dinosaur Hotel: The Games Master, who sets up games for people to out-survive each other against predatory dinosaurs, has a white beard. Marune of the Shadow Thieves is portrayed as an old man with a long beard and brimmed, comical hat with a blunt, rounded top. The Amazing World of Gumball: In " The Mustache" the teenage Gumball and Darwin take a muscle-building supplement out of a desire to become men, and turn into heavily ripped and mustachioed strongmen. Some of the older wizards in Negima! Magister Negi Magi (the Principal, and the head of the school Negi graduates from in chapter one) sport these.

Professor Hix of The Department Of Post-Mortem Communications has a goatee, as is expected of his position. Max & the Midknights: Mumblin' the wizard of Byjovia fits the bill. He dresses in typical wizard attire, has a magic wand, has a white beard, and knows plenty of magic spells. Lordgenome is about the only human on Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann with any significant amount of facial hair. He's the main villain of the first half. (And it seems to be fireproof, given that it isn't too badly damaged when he gets serious and his head bursts into flames.) Facial hair is widely perceived as masculine and mature. Be it a well-groomed moustache or a lush and untrimmed beard, prominent facial hair on a male character is used to show them as a bona fide tough guy, a man's man, a veritable buffet of manliness.

Examples

Hugo Drax of Moonraker plans to remake the world to make it a better place to have an evil beard in. Possibly inverted in The Lord of the Rings movies, at least with humans. Almost every human man has a beard (as does the dwarf, but that goes without saying). Grima the Evil Chancellor is in fact the one without a beard, though he manages to be Obviously Evil anyway. And of course, Grima's boss, the evil wizard Saruman.

Lampshaded in Stargate Atlantis episode "Doppelganger": Sheppard inquires about the other Sheppard, "Did I have a goatee?" The Lord of the Rings: Gandalf and Saruman are both robed, bearded old men who are long-lived and nigh immortal, carry staffs and give advice. Gandalf walks the earth but Saruman lives in a tower. However, whereas normal wizards are educated humans, Tolkien's "wizards" are actually Maiar in corporeal form — something that is discussed vaguely in The Lord of the Rings but made more explicit in other Tolkien works.

Red Dwarf: In "Demons and Angels", the most obvious physical difference that Low Lister has with his High and regular counterparts is his filthy, unkempt beard. That and his Eyepatch of Power. In Prince Caspian the Telmarine aristocrats are bearded and bad, except for the eponymous Caspian, who is clean-shaven and a good guy. Inverted in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, where Caspian has grown a beard himself, but is as heroic as ever. Dexter's Laboratory: Has an episode where Dexter uses Hollywood Science to give himself a bushy red beard, in emulation of his hero Action Hank, and Dexter even ends up fighting alongside him against various bearded villains. Unfortunately he loses his prosthetic facial hair in the process, but Action Hank reassures him that "It's not the beard on the outside that counts, but the beard on the inside." The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Pharazôn is an Evil Chancellor with a bushy beard, making him to stand out among the main male characters who sport a Perma-Stubble.
