In some media, particularly science fiction media, armored characters will often have large plates covering their face. This could be anything from a large bubble helmet used in a conventional space suit, to a thin strip-like visor running across their eyes. Sometimes writers and artists need to show combat damage on suited characters, and one of the most visible and effective means of communicating that to the audience is by means of smashing, cracking, or putting a hole through the faceplate on their armor, suit, or mask.
This can be a very powerful image, as humans instinctively look to the face to gauge the state of another person's emotions, and even when that face is completely concealed behind a visor, the fact that the visor is damaged tends to communicate horrible damage quite quickly. This can also be a form of Gory Discretion Shot, as any damage severe enough to put a hole through a faceplate is likely to make a mess of the head it conceals, but the actual blood and gore need not be directly shown. See also Pretty Little Headshots. On the other hand, if the damage caused uncovers the character's face but does not cause head injury, that can also be a way of communicating to the audience that though the character is not dead, they are in serious danger. Tearing away their protection and revealing their face in the process will "humanize" an armored character to the audience, with all attendant human vulnerabilities that implies.
Note that though this trope seems most common to armored characters, it can apply to any character who conceals their face behind a mask. For example, a masked Super Hero who gets their mask partially torn off in battle would count as this trope, though one who deliberately takes the mask off would not.
Often a type of Armor-Piercing Attack, this is a non-fanservice Sub-Trope of Clothing Damage, and Sister Trope to Hat Damage if non-fatal. Can overlap with a Dramatic Unmask if this is done to reveal a character's identity. May invoke Ominous Crack where it's not fatal for added drama.
As is often a Death Trope, Spoilers may be unmarked ahead. Beware.

In Narbonic, the state of Dave's eyeglasses symbolizes the state of his sanity. For most of the comic's run, his glasses are intact but represented as opaque. Towards the end when Dave finally realizes the great secret responsible for much of his life's path, his glasses are suddenly represented as clear, showing that he can see clearly now. And then one of the lenses cracks, as a not-so-subtle way to show that Dave is half-cracked.

In Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun the Nod campaign starts with a pan shot to a fallen Nod trooper, whose helmet is blown open. Unlike most other instances of this trope, if you look closely you can see the remains of the guy's face (it ain't pretty). This is intentionally juxtaposed with Nod Propaganda being broadcast over the trooper's transmitter, which leads into the actual intro.

In Luminous Avenger iX, the end of final fight with Blade has him shattering his own helmet after seeing the picture in Kohaku's pendant that Copen dropped during the fight, revealing his face and showing he's a she.

Masked Avengers have the leaders of the Masked Gang constantly wearing their masks, much like their namesake. A Mauve Shirt hero managed to confront three of the leaders, and slice their masks into half revealing their identities, one at a time. But then the third of the leader whose mask he splits apart turns out to be one of his allies, the unexpected reveal stunning him long enough to be mortally wounded by an ambush. He survives long enough to reveal the truth behind the Mask Gang to his allies later on.

Near the end of the season, the Meta manages to drive a spiked A.I. containment unit into Tex's visor, smashing a large round hole into the front of it and absorbing her into the unit. note Rooster Teeth supposedly intended for this iconic image to be used on the DVD cover until they discovered the trope was also being used in Halo: Reach, which was being released at nearly the same time. They decided to change it to avoid seeming like they were ripping off the idea.

Lost Galaxy - During the final battle with Trakeena, Leo uses his Super Mode armor to grab her and fires at point-blank range. At first, his teammates aren't sure he survived, but he staggers out of the rubble with half his visor blown off and gives an epic thumbs up.

Happens to Carter in the finale, to an extent — his helmet gets knocked off and we see the visor shattered when the helmet landed.
Time Force - This is how Wes's father finds out that his son is a Ranger.

In The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure, during the Final Chapter of Azure, the Special Support Section has to fight against Arianrhod, the Seventh Anguis of Ouroboros. Doing enough damage to her destroys her helmet to the point her stats increase and she'll likely wipe the party with her S-Craft soon after. She considers it an honor that the SSS survived long enough to break her helmet. If you defeat her, she considers them to be Worthy Opponents who can survive everything else to come after her.

Frequently appears in the BattleTech Expanded Universe:
In the Legend of the Jade Phoenix trilogy, Aidan only won his Bloodname when a lucky shot from his autocannon cracked the canopy on his gloating enemy's Humongous Mecha, which shattered and burst outwards on the airless moon.
In the finale to the second Saga Of The Gray Death Legion novel, Grayson Carlyle is forced to jettison his mech's armored canopy and fight off a lance of enemy mechs. By the end of the fight, he's suffering from second-degree burns and corneal damage from the searing light of his mech's twin Lightning Guns.

The mask of Yasha, which symbolizes his allegiance to the Seven Deities in Asura's Wrath, takes more and more damage throughout the game, at one point being removed when he joins Asura in opposing his bosses, before finally shattering completely when Yasha finally dies in Episode 21.

Used in first person in Star Wars: Republic Commando. The leader of Delta Squad will get cracks and chips on his visor when taking damage, which will be quickly repaired as the helmet's systems re-surface the visor.

Galactus's Cool Helmet is occasionally cracked during battles, though this can happen with opponents who are much weaker than he is, like Thor. On one occasion, Thanos was able to blow off most of his armor revealing a human-looking form beneath his armor, though this is just what the human mind perceives.

At first, it's all she can do just to stay alive, while he's not even trying - until he lets his guard down and she chips off part of his mask with a surprise attack. This convinces him to get to the point of their meeting, with an added warning that he'll stop being so friendly if she does that again.

A Catapult Nightmare has Crichton dying this way in "Dream a Little Dream".
In "The Flax", Crichton and Aeryn are trapped in a damaged transport pod and the only way to fix it is to depressurize briefly. They have suits but the visor on Crichton's helmet is cracked so he won't be able to fix the environmental controls. Instead he tells Aeryn how to make the repairs and how to perform CPR to revive him once she's sealed the pod.

Black Ops II also briefly uses this in the final level, where the player and his team are dropping into the area by way of some form of jetpack with helmets/rebreathers as missiles explode in the air along your path; flying through the explosions damages you and causes minor cracks to appear at the edges of your vision, though not enough to actually break it if you get killed on the way down.

'"Doraemon''
The remake of Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan have Doraemon and gang battling the masked villain, Gigazombie, whose mask later gets split vertically into two by a flung spear, revealing Gigazombie's true face to the heroes for the first time. Turns out Gigazombie looks like an ordinary person under that sinister mask.
Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom have the villainous Dester having his helm split into half (in both anime and manga), leading to the Unrobotic Reveal that Dester's a human.

A few examples in Halo: Reach:
Noble Six's helmet is shown as a Dead Hat Shot In Medias Res during the opening cutscene, half buried in the dirt, lying alone and abandoned on a charred battlefield.
Seen from first person when Noble Six is making a Last Stand against the Covenant, and we learn why the helmet was discarded as shown in the opening.

In Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, this is a gameplay mechanic similar to the Black Ops example above when you go above ground: your gas mask will start to crack and break as you take damage while wearing it. As it gets closer to breaking, it becomes less effective, and when it has a hole punched in it, it's done for and you have to find another in less than thirty seconds.

Red vs. Blue: Revelation
Near the end of the season, the Meta manages to drive a spiked A.I. containment unit into Tex's visor, smashing a large round hole into the front of it and absorbing her into the unit. note Rooster Teeth supposedly intended for this iconic image to be used on the DVD cover until they discovered the trope was also being used in Halo: Reach, which was being released at nearly the same time. They decided to change it to avoid seeming like they were ripping off the idea.
It shows up again after York's injury in the sparring match in season 9, where he loses vision in one eye and gains some serious scars.

Spinnerette has a situation where a North Korean superhero raids a research faculty in the USA intending to steal a superweapon. The American general tells him, smugly and unwisely, that his platoon of Super Soldiers are wearing power armour and protection that makes them invulnerable to superpowers. The supervillain Colonel Glass then smiles wickedly and points out that his name is Colonel Glass. What do you think my superpower is? He then notes the soldiers are wearing vision-enhancing lenses in their faceplates. which from the point of view of a supervillain who can manipulate glass and turn it into, say, razor-sharp shards propelled with some force, is rather convenient. He then proceeds to blind each soldier in one eye. Because he's feeling merciful.

In Mega Man ZX Advent, the final boss Master Albert wears a full helmet with the front covered in opaque dark-blue glass that only shows his Glowing Eyes of Doom. Defeating him shows in the following cutscene Grey/Ashe manages to shatter the glass, revealing the fatally wounded Albert's face as he spitefully condemns them before he explodes.

Spaced Out (2016): When Dash sees Lily Sjoberg's space helmet on the floor of the old Moon Base Alpha operations pod, he notes a crack zig-zagging across the visor.
Dash's mom also notes a hairline fracture on her space helmet's visor while out on the lunar surface. This was because Cesar Marquez and the Sjoberg twins were using them as football helmets one night, and damaged them.

During the space jump in Star Trek Into Darkness, Kirk takes a winging glance to the face from a small piece of debris. It produces a hairline fracture on his faceplate which begins to expand into a spiderweb of cracks as the air pressure in his suit pushes the faceplate outward. It holds and does not shatter completely, but it does disable his Heads-Up Display which he needs to navigate the debris field.

Pumpkin Scissors:
Alice is buying time for Randel by taking on an entire division of Claymores (masked, heavily-armoured shock troopers). The captain mocks her because she's getting tired; her response is to hack right through the metal faceplate of the captain with her double-bladed cavalry sword, then slash through his body armour.
The same episode has another example near the end. As the body of Hans of the 908th High-Temperature Troop is being carted away, we see the faceplate of his flame and bullet resistant armour cracked wide open. As he can no longer survive outside his suit, this example is even more appropriate than most.

Super Sentai - Here's a montage.
Happens to Black Condor in Choujin Sentai Jetman.
In Mirai Sentai Timeranger: Tatsuya's visor breaks after he blocks a shot aimed at the City Guardians, revealing his identity to his father.
Happens at least once in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger (to Blue).
In the Mahou Sentai Magiranger movie, Hikaru / Sungel gets shot point-blank, shattering his faceplate. Instead of his face, we see pure light underneath before he changes into his Heavenly Saint form.
A curious variation takes place in the final battle against N Ma; Kai manifests his helmet without the faceplate.
Gekiranger: Jan gets a hole punched in his visor during his final fight with Rio.
Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters: In Mission 14, Hiromu and Ryuuji both get smashed visors. This shows how strong the Metaroids are getting... the episode happens to be the debut of the 4th and 5th rangers. It also happens to Ryuuji in mission 46. It happens to all three main Rangers in the finale.

In Deus Ex: Human Revolution while infiltrating the TYM headquarters in Hengsha, Jensen comes across a TYM employee who just got caught in an industrial accident. He is trapped in a room full of toxic gas, and something smacked him across the head and broke the clear visor of his Hazmat Suit. He has a secondary rebreather beneath that, but it is clearly not as effective without the suit's seal, and the man is running out of time.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops, one mission requires you to wear an NBC suit during a chemical attack. You're still fighting, though, and as you take damage, your faceshield will crack. While your health will regenerate normally, your faceshield won't, meaning that if you take too much damage in the entire sequence, you'll die from exposure to the chemical agent.
Also briefly appears Modern Warfare 3, in first person, when Price's Juggernaut suit is damaged by helicopter rockets in the final mission.
Black Ops II also briefly uses this in the final level, where the player and his team are dropping into the area by way of some form of jetpack with helmets/rebreathers as missiles explode in the air along your path; flying through the explosions damages you and causes minor cracks to appear at the edges of your vision, though not enough to actually break it if you get killed on the way down.

In The Martian, after the seal around one of the Hab airlocks rips and the pressure blasts the airlock out, with Mark inside it, Mark has the faceplate of his helmet shattered. He is trapped in a pressured environment with a slow leak and needs to MacGyver a way to seal it before he can go anywhere. He ends up cutting the left arm off his suit, tucking that arm against his chest, sealing the hole where the arm was, then using part of the suit's arm as an emergency patch, using the camera on the other arm to see.

In Transformers: Prime, Soundwave gets slashed across his faceplate by Wheeljack, shortly before Wheeljack headbutts him hard enough to badly crack it. However, Soundwave shows pretty much no reaction to the damage and manages to narrowly win their battle.

The remake of Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan have Doraemon and gang battling the masked villain, Gigazombie, whose mask later gets split vertically into two by a flung spear, revealing Gigazombie's true face to the heroes for the first time. Turns out Gigazombie looks like an ordinary person under that sinister mask.

Several examples in The Last Days on Mars (2013). Patient Zero staggers back to the expedition base, somehow surviving a fall that should have killed him or punctured his spacesuit. As he's dragged out of the airlock, a crewman takes off his helmet and we're shown the hole in the faceplate just before the Facial Horror of his desiccated features is revealed, and he attacks the crewman as an enraged alien fungus-infected zombie. Later a Zombie Infectee pulls off her space helmet to stop a colleague from rescuing her. He tries to put the helmet back on but sees the faceplate has been smashed. Later he comes across a member of the relief team dead in his spacesuit, after hearing their Sound-Only Death. The final version is when the Sole Survivor has to headbutt another infected victim, raising the possibility that he also might become infected.
