History Main / TwoFaced

* [[TropeNamer Two-Face]] from the ''{{Batman}}'' RoguesGallery, '''''THE''''' MostTriumphantExample.

* Jonah Hex is a rare heroic example. A gunslinger resembling to Clint Eastwood, he got a red-hot tomahawk pressed to the side of his face, giving him a very ugly disfigurement similar to Two-Face's.

* The Eygptian Queen Nitokris, as described in H. P. Lovecraft's short story "Under the Pyramids" (ghost-written for Harry Houdini): "By his side knelt beautiful Queen Nikotris, whom I saw in profile for a moment, noting that the right half of her face was eaten away by rats or other ghouls.

* Prince Zuko in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has maybe one quarter of his face scarred as a result of [[spoiler:his [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] [[CompleteMonster Ozai]]]], though he [[spoiler:later fixes it to appear more attractive when he pulls a HeelFaceTurn]].

* Balalaika of ''BlackLagoon'' has extensive scarring on the right side of her face as a result of a war injury during her time in Afghanistan. Despite the scarring, she's actually quite attractive, but the gangsters of Roanapur still take to calling her "Fry Face" behind her back (though not to her face -- she tends not to like that).

* Torak from David Eddings' ''TheBelgariad'' had this affliction to a large extent.

* Sandor "The Hound" Clegane from ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' is another example. He received his wounds at age 6 when his brother [[CompleteMonster Gregor]] found him playing with one of his long-discarded toys and [[DisproportionateRetribution shoved his face into a brazier]]. However, while you probably wouldn't call him [[AntiHero heroic]], he's not really ''[[AntiVillain evil]]'' either -- his face often makes people automatically assume he's a CompleteMonster, but he ultimately subverts the villainy associated with this trope.

* [[{{DarthWiki/Two-Face}}Two-Face]] from the ''{{Batman}}'' RoguesGallery, '''''THE''''' MostTriumphantExample and TropeNamer.

* Two-Face from the ''{{Batman}}'' RoguesGallery, '''''THE''''' MostTriumphantExample.

* K.A. Applegate seems to like this trope - she did it with Hel in ''{{Everworld}}'' and again with 2Face in ''{{Remnants}}''.

* [[HarveyDent Two-Face]] from the ''{{Batman}}'' RoguesGallery, '''''THE''''' MostTriumphantExample.

* TheLegionOfSuperheroes villain Tharok is a cyborg who is split exactly down the middle.

** Tharok of the LegionOfSuperheroes bears mentioning ''again:'' If you're unfamiliar with the LOSH comics, when ''that'' one comes out in cartoon form, you'll probably say "hey, it's Metallo!" The cartoon versions of the two are nigh-identical.

* The killer in the ''CriminalMinds'' episode "Devil's Night" had exactly half his face covered in burns caused by a car crash.

* In the same way, Yubel from ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' is halved by male and female sides of the body, though in the English dub she's generally referred to as female, as her face is mostly feminine with [[BoatLights two differing eyes]] rather than actual facial halves.

* Prince Zuko in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has maybe one quarter of his face scarred as a result of [[spoiler:his abusive father Ozai]], though he [[spoiler:later fixes it to appear more attractive when he pulls a HeelFaceTurn]].

* Mazikeen from ''{{TheSandman}}'', who has no skin on the right half of her face, and is not a villain. She might have [[BewareTheNiceOnes annoyed Delirium]], but it's not entirely clear.
** In ''{{Lucifer}}'' a well-meaning individual with newly-found magical powers turns Mazikeen's face symmetric and conventionally beautiful while she's unconscious, mistaking her appearance for horrible deformation. Mazikeen, who considered herself beautiful before swears bloody revenge. The practical reason for the change was probably to get rid of her idiosyncratic speech pattern caused by having only half a mouth, allowing her character to develop without extreme annoyance to the reader.

* Unsurprisingly, album artwork for Tankard's ''[[http://moole.ru/uploads/posts/2009-05/thumbs/1242500359_78c811a64e51.jpg Two Faced]]'' depicts such character.

* [[spoiler:Maero]] in Saint's Row 2 after you [[spoiler:put radioactive waste in his tattoo ink]].

* In the same way, Yubel from YuGiOh GX is halved by male and female sides of the body, though in the English dub she's generally referred to as female, as her face is mostly feminine with [[BoatLights two differing eyes]] rather than actual facial halves.

* The Twofaces and Double Talkers of ToontownOnline.
