Abstract (English): The film industry uses dermatological findings to help viewers differentiate between heroes and villains. This study sought to determine whether there is a significant association between the presence of facial hair and character type. Top 10 male heroes and villains were analyzed from the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest Heroes and Villains list for the presence of facial hair. A total of 20 characters were analyzed from 19 films. Facial hair was defined as hair present on the face that could easily and clearly be identified as a beard, goatee, or mustache. All 10 villains analyzed in this study had no facial hair compared to 5 heroes with this feature (100 % vs. 50 % respectively). The type of facial hair noted on heroes was a combination of beard and mustache. Fisher's Exact test revealed a significant association between the presence of facial hair and character type (p=0.0325). Based on this analysis, there appears to be a tendency to help viewers distinguish heroes from villains by using mutable features. The use of facial hair to identify heroes is notable because while not a dermatological disorder, previous research has revealed higher use of dermatological findings in antagonists compared to protagonists.

Abstract (Spanish): La industria cinematográfica utiliza hallazgos dermatológicos para ayudar a los espectadores a diferenciar entre héroes y villanos. Este estudio buscó determinar si existe una asociación significativa entre la presencia de vello facial y el tipo de carácter. Se analizaron los 10 mejores héroes y villanos masculinos de la lista de los 100 mejores héroes y villanos del American Film Institute para detectar la presencia de vello facial. Se analizaron un total de 20 personajes de 19 películas. El vello facial se definió como el cabello presente en la cara que podía identificarse fácil y claramente como barba, perilla o bigote. Los 10 villanos analizados en este estudio no tenían vello facial en comparación con 5 héroes con esta característica (100 % frente a 50 % respectivamente). El tipo de vello facial observado en los héroes era una combinación de barba y bigote. La prueba Exacta de Fisher reveló una asociación significativa entre la presencia de vello facial y el tipo de carácter (p=0,0325). Según este análisis, parece haber una tendencia a ayudar a los espectadores a distinguir héroes de villanos mediante el uso de características mutables. El uso del vello facial para identificar héroes es notable porque, si bien no es un trastorno dermatológico, investigaciones anteriores han revelado un mayor uso de hallazgos dermatológicos en los antagonistas en comparación con los protagonistas.
