The Man With No Name from the ''Film/DollarsTrilogy'', as portrayed by Creator/ClintEastwood, is one of the most famous gunslingers in fiction, and an icon of the western genre. One could even argue that Joe/Manco/Blondie is ''the'' most iconic cowboy or character from a western in general, surpassing the likes of Franchise/TheLoneRanger, Film/{{Django}}, and [[Film/TheSearchers Ethan Edwards]].
What separates him other similar characters though, is his aloof nature, questionable motives, and his MysteriousPast has led to many imitators or influences in the fifty-plus years since the last film in the ''Dollars Trilogy'' came out. This even extends to settings and genres beyond the western, though said imitators are more likely to appear in a western work of sorts. Said {{Expy}} can be identified by some of the following traits:
* They're some kind of drifter or outlaw, who likely works as a BountyHunter.
* Has a [[TheStoic stoic]] and aloof demeanor that makes them [[WildCard hard to read]]
* Isn't known by their actual name, and/or goes by different aliases or nicknames.
* They have a MysteriousPast that receives little to no elaboration on, at least at first.
* [[TheGunslinger Usually wields a gun or a projectile of some sort]], and is usually very skilled with it.
* May use a piece of metal as defense from other projectiles, sometimes by hiding it under their clothes.
* Is accompanied by western motifs, such as wearing a cowboy hat or a poncho, or having their work of origin take place in a western-like setting.
* Talks in a [[BadassBaritone low, gravelly voice]], if they [[TerseTalker talk at all]].

* Jesse [=McCree=] from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' is modeled after the Man With No Name, with a very similar outfit, a revolver he shoots with near-superhuman accuracy, and a deep voice. Big parts of his past continue to be a mystery over the game's run, such as his life before joining the Deadlock Gang, and how he lost his arm. He also initially refuses to join the reformed Overwatch, preferring to work alone as a drifter.
* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTime'' has the Poncho Zombie, who is found in the Wild West period and is styled after the Man with No Name from a visual standpoint, wearing a poncho, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat. The references don't stop there, as on occasion, he may be wearing a metal grate beneath his poncho like the Man with No Name did.
* ''VideoGame/TheTownWithNoName'', a parody of Western films, has another Man With No Name as its protagonist. He's a drifter who comes to the titular town to find his sister, and ends up killing several outlaws. Ironically, it's a ''side character'', not the Man With No Name himself, who is drawn to look like Clint Eastwood.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'': The episode "For a Few Sovereigns More" has Duke Igthorne hire bounty hunter Flint Shrubwood to capture a Gummi Bear. Shrubwood is obviously patterned on Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name, (while Shrubwood is given a name, it's only used once in the episode, when he's introduced) from his voice and appearance to his theme music (which he plays himself on a reed whistle; it's not quite the iconic "whipporwhill" of ''A Fistfull of Dollars'' but it's close). He's easily the most fearsomely capable and implacable antagonist to appear in ''Gummi Bears,'' as he subdues Grammi and captures Cubbi with no trouble (he only takes Cubbi, because the Duke was only paying him for one Gummi Bear) and, when betrayed by the Duke, captures him with equal ease. He has no trouble subduing Igthorne's ogres, either. Ultimately, the only thing that stops him is Cubbi's convincing the Duke to let him have the money he's owed.
* ''WesternAnimation/BountyHamster'': Recurring character The Horse With No Name is an anthropomorphic animal parody of the Clint Eastwood character.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In Cheese Sandwich's debut episode "Pinkie Pride", he's initially introduced as a Horse With No Name: he's a gruff-voiced loner clad in a poncho and cowboy hat, and he drifts from town to town helping the downtrodden. The very first scene has him in the desert town of Appleloosa. He even has an EnnioMorriconePastiche as his personal leitmotif. And all of this is [[BaitAndSwitchCharacterIntro deliberately misleading]]: upon arriving in Ponyville, Cheese reveals he's actually a [[FunPersonified goofball party planner]] based heavily on his voice actor, Music/WeirdAlYankovic.
* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' shares some elements of The Man With No Name such as being a lone warrior of [[TheQuietOne few words]], known only by their nickname, [[WalkingTheEarth passes quietly through various places with no permanent residence]], defeats the bad guy and then moves along. Creator/PhilLaMarr even described his voice for Jack as being a Japanese version of Creator/ClintEastwood.

[[caption-width-right:350: "There are two kinds of people in this world - those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig".[[labelnote:Note]]Counter-clockwise from top-left: [[Film/DollarsTrilogy The Man With No Name]], [[Series/TheMandalorian Din Djarin]], [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Hol Horse]], [[Literature/TheDarkTower Roland Deschain]], [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII Marty McFly]], and [[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTime Poncho Zombie]].[[/labelnote]]]]
The Man With No Name from the ''Film/DollarsTrilogy'', as portrayed by Creator/ClintEastwood, is one of the most famous gunslingers in fiction, and an icon of the western genre. One could even argue that Joe/Manco/Blondie is ''the'' most iconic cowboy or character from a western in general, surpassing the likes of Franchise/TheLoneRanger, Film/{{Django}}, and [[Film/TheSearchers Ethan Edwards]].
What separates him other similar characters though, is his aloof nature, questionable motives, and his MysteriousPast has led to many imitators or influences in the fifty-plus years since the last film in the ''Dollars Trilogy'' came out. This even extends to settings and genres beyond the western, though said imitators are more likely to appear in a western work of sorts. Said {{Expy}} can be identified by some of the following traits:
* They're some kind of drifter or outlaw, who likely works as a BountyHunter.
* Has a [[TheStoic stoic]] and aloof demeanor that makes them [[WildCard hard to read]]
* Isn't known by their actual name, and/or goes by different aliases or nicknames.
* They have a MysteriousPast that receives little to no elaboration on, at least at first.
* [[TheGunslinger Usually wields a gun or a projectile of some sort]], and is usually very skilled with it.
* May use a piece of metal as defense from other projectiles, sometimes by hiding it under their clothes.
* Is accompanied by western motifs, such as wearing a cowboy hat or a poncho, or having their work of origin take place in a western-like setting.
* Talks in a [[BadassBaritone low, gravelly voice]], if they [[TerseTalker talk at all]].

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'':
** Jotaro Kujo, who is directly inspired by the Man With No Name. [[TheStoic A stoic]], TerseTalker whose [[BadassLongcoat longcoat]] and school uniform hat bring to mind the Man With No Name's poncho and cowboy hat, and who travels to desert land of Egypt during the course of ''Stardust Crusaders''.
** Hol Horse is a parody of The Man With No Name, as while he is a cowboy who is dressed similarly to the Man With No Name and is a gunslinger, he's also [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain completely incompetent]] and a giant [[SmallNameBigEgo braggart]] on top of it all.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'', the Spirit of the West takes the appearance of an old gunslinger that speaks with a gravelly voice, wears an old cowboy hat, and also sports a brown poncho.

* [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', where Marty [=McFly=] uses the alias "Clint Eastwood" when arriving in Hill Valley during 1885. He gets laughed at initially, [[spoiler: but eventually plays some aspects of this straight when he uses a boiler plate to defend himself from a bullet.]]
* ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'': Harmonica, one of the main protagonists of the film, neatly checks most of the boxes here. His real name is never once even mentioned, as his moniker is derived from the musical instrument he often plays when he wants to get someone?s attention, is a skilled gunfighter, and his demeanor almost never changes from a hardened look of determination. The only bit of backstory that?s ever alluded to, was his brother?s murder at the hands of Frank, a sociopathic outlaw whom Harmonica spends the entirety of the film seeking revenge. Fittingly, the film was directed by Sergio Leone, the director of the Dollars trilogy, and was originally set to star Clint Eastwood himself as Harmonica.
* Boba Fett from ''Franchise/StarWars'' is basically the Man With No Name, but in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe (again), being a stoic BountyHunter whose past remains shrouded, at first. His father, Jango Fett, also qualifies as this.
* William Munny from ''Film/{{Unforgiven}}'', who is more or less an older and retired Man With No Name, even portrayed by Clint Eastwood, to boot. In his youth he was a BountyHunter and an outlaw who was considered a deadly and ruthless gunslinger - at least, until he settled down with his wife on a farm.
