Bad Hair Day

There is a long history of comic book characters looking silly. In an attempt to make characters distinguishable and memorable, they have had outlandish clothing, hairstyles and body types. Sometimes it seems as if a character really drew the short straw. Looking back, there have been all sorts of bad hair-dos¹, but few stand out as being as bad for as long as Guy Gardner (one of the Green Lanterns²).

Here, we see Gardner exhibiting both a bad haircut and bad attitude as a member of Justice League International.

Over the years, his character has changed, but his hairstylist apparently hasn't.

Here, we can see him sporting a style I like to call the 1UP.

Unfortunately for Gardner, his hair issues have followed him from the printed page all the way to the toy store. There's just no escape for him.

¹ One that obviously stands out is Storm's Mr. T mohawk, but that was at least a temporary thing.

² Yeah, one of the Green Lanterns not the Green Lantern. Since we're talking about comics, it's a lot more complicated than even that, but I'm trying to keep it fairly simple (or at least not too confusing) here.
