History Main / WeaponizedHeadgear

** ComicBook/CaptainAmerica foe Doctor Mindbubble wears a bowler hat covering a glass pipe coming out of the front of his head. The pipe creates large bubbles, which, engulfing the head of a person, causes them to enter a mind-altered state in which he can control their every action...until the chemicals kill them.

** ''ComicBook/SpiderWoman'' foe the Grinder is outfitted with a circular saw-like device on his helmet that he uses as a weapon.

** The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn_(comics) Unicorn]] has headgear that can project concussive energy blasts (electron or neutron beams), lasers, and microwave energy.

*** The headdress worn by ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}} is a set of lockpicks rather than a fighting weapon.

** The headdress worn by ComicBook/{{Storm}} of ''ComicBook/XMen'' is a set of lockpicks rather than a fighting weapon.
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]] has previously used his helmet as a bludgeon/guided missile, memorably delivering a ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Exodus in the process. In ''ComicBook/XMenRed2022'', he takes advantage of the fact that it blocks psychic powers. Normally, that's used defensively to protect him from telepathy but, [[spoiler:in a formal duel, he drops it onto his opponent's head instead, blocking their powers. And then crushes it]].

* It's not a hat per se, but in ''Film/BlackPanther'', Okoye temporarily thwarts a {{Mook}} by throwing her wig in his face.

** ''[[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Wonder Woman Vol 1]]'': A Nazi general has an experimental DeathRay attached to a hat which he uses to kill a number of US military officers. The death ray doesn't survive Diana's attack in response.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'':

** Several iterations of Jason Todd as the ComicBook/RedHood have rigged his helmet with explosives. His [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} estranged family]] disproves of storing explosives on one's head. [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Tim]] isn't opposed to weaponizing headgear like masks to make them dangerous for opponents to grab as he tries to do this with his entire costume, generally with electrical currents and sharp edges.

** ComicBook/CaptainAmerica foe Doctor Mindbubble wears a bowler hat covering a glass pipe coming out of the front of his head. The pipe creates large bubbles, which, engulfing the head of a person, causes them to enter a mind-altering state in which he can control their every action...until the chemicals kill them.

* One ad for Advertising/HostessFruitPies has Franchise/SpiderMan taking on a villain called Demolition Derby whose shtick (like [[Franchise/JamesBond Oddjob's]]) was that he wore a bowler hat he could throw as a weapon.
