Martinex1: Who is the target audience for comic books? I contend it is middle-aged men who are going bald. If I may make my case just take a look at the many pictures below. Who else could they be appealing to other than the follicle-challenged? At the very least, I am glad I am not alone in the balding category. There are countless examples of heroes, villains, and hangers-on, who have been bald.
Whether in comics, on television, in movies, or with advertisements, bald is beautiful.
But my questions to you are (across all genres):
- Who are the five best bald characters?
- Who are the five worst bald characters?
- Why are there so many bald characters?
- Can you name all of the characters depicted below?
- We've captured everybody from the Absorbing Man to Zarrko the Tomorrow Man, but what bald characters did we miss?
Have a fun Monday! Best to all BitBA fans out there! May you all have a full heart and a full head of hair!

Even nature knows it is cool! |

Fearsome garb...indeed! |

You say he is not bald. I say he is Balder! |
 |
In my opinion, one of the best super-heroines in comic history! |

That is not hair on his forehead; Lucy just used a Sharpee marker while he slept! |
 |
You may not have thought about it, but the Thing would have looked terrible with hair! |

Yes... the Silver Surfer and his arch-nemesis Mephisto! |
