Chest Insignia | comment |
The universal formula for depicting a character to be instantly recognizable as "a Superhero" of some sort: put them in reasonably form-fitting clothes, and then add a prominent symbol on the chest. Almost universally in the earlier eras, and in many cases today, the logo is centered and covers at least half the space available; a variant, that appears more and more frequently nowadays, has it shrunk down and off-center like a police badge, or on a belt buckle. Symbols on the back, shoulders, or even forehead are less common, but still viable. Symbols on the legs or feet are extremely rare and usually only on characters with costumes too skimpy to fit them anywhere else. Copyright-holders soon realized that these insignia were marketing gold, in that fans of the characters were more consistently attracted to the insignia than the faces of the characters themselves; a valuable realization when different performers were chosen to portray the characters for various reasons. In addition, it's often easier to slap a stylized letter or icon onto merchandise, since it might look creepy when trying to incorporate character faces onto merchandise. The rare occasions where character faces are used as insignias almost always involve masked or clearly inhuman characters. Even then, the insignia tends to be heavily stylized and simplified representation of the face/mask or a silhouette with only their most identifiable features or accessories depicted. Recently there has been a trend (particularly with less "super" characters) of justifying the symbol by having it attract gunfire towards the torso (which is easier to armour), such as with Batman and The Punisher. Said symbol will often be Brought to You by the Letter "S". If it glows, there's overlap with Heart Light. Compare Highly-Conspicuous Uniform (the group and/or military version of this trope), Symbol Motif Clothing. |

X-Men: The X-Men have an X in circle logo. It usually isn't in the middle of their chest, but it still counts. Emma Frost has a particularly Stripperific variation on the X logo; it's made up of the exposed portions of her skin. Most versions of Sunfire's costume have a red circle and lines across his chest that evoke the Japanese military flag. Havok used to use a pattern of circles within each other that looked similar to the way his energy blasts are drawn. Nowadays he just has a glowing circle with lines reaching out of it. Thunderbird's costume featured a large eagle on the chest, spreading its wings out in the shape of a T. Similarly, Jean Grey sported an abstract, triangular bird shape as Phoenix. The "light" Phoenix version was a small phoenix in a black triangle, whereas the Dark Phoenix showed a very large emblem which covered nearly her entire torso. Double-subverterd by the earliest version of Rachel Summers, who initially wore her emblem-less Hound costume, but she eventually switched over to the traditional Phoenix costume. But she went with the Dark Phoenix version despite not being remotely evil because it looked cooler. Jamie Madrox, aka Multiple Man, has "spots connected by lines" that were originally part of an impact-reducing full-body suit but have since retreated to the chest. |

Care Bears and their Cousins also have symbols unique to each character. As an added bonus, these symbols double as a weapon, at least in earlier installments. Originally they were known as tummy symbols, in latter installments they're known as belly badges and can be used to activate special powers, rather than being used as a weapon. | |

And then there was the Hurricane (Gregory Helms), whose gimmick was of a superhero. Naturally, he wore a 'hurricane' symbol with an H in the center on his costume. His sidekick Rosie, once he 'graduated', sported an R. Since Rosie was about twice the size of Hurricane, his R was about twice as big as Hurricane's symbol. His original sidekick, Mighty Molly, had a symbol similar to the Hurricane's but with an "M" in the center. |

In the various My Little Pony series, each pony has a symbol on their flank (known as a "cutie mark" in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) corresponding to their name and personality. It's where a brand would be on an actual horse, which... is actually pretty dark. Especially in Generation 1, there are variations to this. Some Little Ponies have symbols over their entire torso. Others, such as the Winger Ponies, have their flank symbols matched by one on their forehead. And Sea Ponies for the most part do not have symbols at all; the few who do have a necklace as symbol. |

Supergirl: Kara shares her cousin's "S" shield—later versions of the Superman mythos have established that it's the emblem of the House of El. During her Red Lantern stint in Red Daughter of Krypton, she wore a modified Red Lantern Corps emblem: a circle and two crooked lines on its right and left sides inside a diamond silhouette. Her Supergirl (Rebirth)'s uniform has a modified S-shield. As she's fighting Lar-On, he associates her with the House of El when he sees her emblem. |

Wonder Woman: For most of her history Diana has had a soaring eagle on the top of her one-piece. In 1982 it was replaced it with concentric W's (explained in-story as the logo of the "Wonder Woman Foundation" and, Post-Crisis, as Diana Trevor's WAFS insignia). The eagle has recently returned. Donna Troy had a version of the eagle on her red shirt as Wonder Girl. Cassie Sandsmark's original Wonder Girl costume had a black shirt with Wonder Woman's concentric Ws overlaid with a G. While many versions of Nubia wear a, generally more modest, take on whatever the current Wonder Woman costume is her original incarnation wore armor with a stylized phoenix gilded across the chest. In Wonder Woman and the Star Riders the villain Purrsia wears a P on her chest. |

Variation in Dragon Ball; the iconic orange gi worn at various times by acolytes of the Turtle school (most notably Goku, Krillin and Yamcha during the original Dragon Ball) has the kanji for "turtle" ("kame") prominently featured on the back, and in smaller type on the left chest (instead of centered on the chest like in most examples). The kanji is sometimes changed to reflect the wearer's fighting style: Piccolo gives Gohan a version with his demon clan insignia when he trained him during the Saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z, and Goku swaps out the back insignia for King Kai's (while retaining the turtle insignia on the front) after training with him in the afterlife. | |

While it's not superhero exactly, who doesn't wear a tabard with a chest symbol in World of Warcraft these days? Not only can they cover some of the uglier chest armor, but they're good for showing whose guild you're in or what faction you're exalted with, or what achievements you've earned. | |

Notably, the original Power Ranger team only had the belt buckle versions (except for the White Ranger), but the trope was powerful enough for all of the toys from the original run to add them to the chest as well. The movie followed suit. (We wouldn't get show-accurate MMPR toys until 2009, well after MMPR's 1993 debut!) | |

Green Lantern: The Green Lantern's namesake — more stylized for the Silver Age Green Lantern Corps than for Golden Age's Alan Scott. With the formation of more Lantern Corps, each of them have their own insignia. This is done for maximum horrific effect in Blackest Night among the Black Lanterns. When a corpse rises as a Black Lantern, the Black Hand symbol (a downward-pointing triangle with five lines coming from the top) is always incorporated into their new costume; sometimes in extremely imaginative ways (for instance, Black Lantern Superman has his S-shield as the triangle). |

Pretty Cure in Yes! Pretty Cure 5 have butterflies on their chests. These resemble (seemingly by design) the bows often seen on the chests of other Magical Girls, including their predecessors in the two previous Pretty Cure continuities (as well as some others you might have heard of). Not quite a Chest Insignia, and not a reliable indicator by any stretch, but if you're the Monster of the Week and you meet a girl in with a bow on her chest, you should probably flee. |

Heroine Chic, by value of focusing on the fashion designers to superheroes, has several examples. Some overlap with Brought to You by the Letter "S": Valiant's first costume includes a stylized "V" on the chest. Laren's "Liberteen" costume features a white star on a blue background — Zoe's redesign moves the insignia from the forehead to the chest (in order to do away with the Cleavage Window she hated so much). Super Ego's costume includes the insignia on the chest and the back. Superhero Huge has a stylized "Y" on the front of his costume because (according to Huge at least) the name is pronounced "yuuuuuuuuge." |

WILQ – Superbohater: The sign of Rzuff that Wilg wears on his chest, that looks like a turtle. "Rzuff" is mispronounced "żółw", which means a turtle; similarly, "Wilq" is mispronounced "wilk", which means wolf. Just don't try to think about it too much. Alcman wears the percent sign, which is a reference to his (rarely used) superpower: shooting gushes of 100% pure ethanol. |

Power Girl: Power Girl infamously averts this, as she instead has her distinctive costume "keyhole" as a kind of anti-insignia. In JSA: Classified #2, Power Girl explains her reasoning for it: "The first time I made this costume, I wanted to have a symbol, like you. I just... I couldn't think of anything. I thought eventually, I'd figure it out. And close the hole. But I haven't." Leading to the infamous "Fill my hole, Superman." Ironically, the original reason was just that Power Girl was an aggressive woman who took pride in her femininity. She also categorically refused a P insignia offer by a JSA teammate. The lack of an insignia became an unintentional bit of Fridge Brilliance. Her "cleavage window" is the same kind of circle with a line that's used as the 'Power' icon for most electronics. In the New 52, Power Girl wears a more modest outfit with a stylized "P" on the left side of her chest...until enough people complained about it that they went back to the Cleavage Window. |

Batman: The iconic bat silhouette. This was lampshaded in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman admits that the famous bright yellow background is, obviously, a great big target as he gets shot smack dab in the middle of it, revealing that there's armor plating behind it. He then goes on to explain that he did it because he "can't armor my head". (Has Batman not heard of helmets, or does he just not want to wear one?) Some of the Silver Age stories have the bat-emblem used as a diamond-edged cutting tool. And Robin's off-center "R" in a circle. The similarity of the original version to the registered trademark symbol ® has been a frequent parody gag. On Tim Drake's Robin uniform, the "R" was a hidden stylized shuriken. The Batgirls also have batsymbols on their chests, although Cassandra Cain is more of an outline. As does Batwoman. The original Bat-Woman and Bat-Girl didn't, though. Nightwing has ... a sort of stylised wing-shape, although adaptations and the New 52 make it more recognisable as a bird. Red Robin has a large circular disk with a stylized silhouette of a bird's head on it in the middle of his chest. |

The Cat-headed logo carried over from the original is the royal emblem, seen in the castle throne room, and projected as a Bat Signal, but does not appear on armor or clothing, in part as a deliberate effort to avert instances of the Unreliable Illustrator. | |

Similarly, Jean Grey sported an abstract, triangular bird shape as Phoenix. The "light" Phoenix version was a small phoenix in a black triangle, whereas the Dark Phoenix showed a very large emblem which covered nearly her entire torso. Double-subverterd by the earliest version of Rachel Summers, who initially wore her emblem-less Hound costume, but she eventually switched over to the traditional Phoenix costume. But she went with the Dark Phoenix version despite not being remotely evil because it looked cooler. | |

Not quite heroes, but there's the minor fact that Star Trek featured the small-bit-on-the-side version. To the point where some of the fluff says the Enterprise's then-unique pointy thing became Starfleet's actual official insignia so everyone could wear it. In the Next Generation era, they double as communicators/trackers. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Stronger has a big letter S on his chest that spun around when he powered up. Kamen Rider BLACK and his sequel form Kamen Rider BLACK RX both have their respective logos as the smaller, badge-like version of this trope. Kamen Rider OOO has a three-part chest logo which changes depending on which Core Medals are currently in use. Kamen Riders Mach and Chaser of Kamen Rider Drive have the badge version. Kamen Rider Ghost has his stylized eye logo as a big chest insignia under his hoodie jacket. The same applies for Kamen Rider Spectre. Kamen Rider Build gets his diagonal-cut gear logo on the chest of his RabbitRabbit and TankTank forms in order to maintain Fashionable Asymmetry in the forms that otherwise lack it. |

Superman: Superman's "S" shield, shared by various sidekicks, and parodied repeatedly throughout pop culture. His wacky duplicate Bizarro, on the other hand, has a backwards "S" shield that looks almost like a "Z" — and a backwards spitcurl to boot. In Superman/Fantastic 4, Johnny Storm attempts to recruit Superman by offering, "It doesn't take much to make that 'S' into a '5'." The symbol has varied in different incarnations. Currently the Golden Age Superman is shown with a bloated looking "S". Kingdom Come Superman had a more angular stylized "S". In Smallville Clark gets this scorched onto his chest. Zibarro, the "imperfect" duplicate of Bizarro in All-Star Superman, has a "Z" instead of a backwards "S". At the end of the story the D.N.A. P.R.O.J.E.C.T. has a plan to help the world if Superman doesn't come back, concealed behind a door with an "S" shield that looks like a "2". One-time Superman foes Protector and Radion—who bugged him in the Krypton No More story arc—had chest emblems: a flaming sword and a big red circle crossed by several black lines respectively. In Superman: Brainiac, Brainiac points out that Superman's bio-suit appears to serve no purpose as he touches the S-shield. Superman growls that "My uniform's designed after the Kryptonian flag and my father's family crest". |

All of Ben's alien forms in Ben 10 have the Omnitrix symbol on them somewhere, usually the chest, but the shoulder, forehead, and wrist are also common options. Grey Matter is the form with the oddest placement. It's much larger than usual given Grey Matter's small size, but on his back, where it's not usually visible. Justified in that the symbol basically is the Imported Alien Phlebotinum that lets him turn into those alien forms - the Omnitrix tailors itself to its user and not all of Ben's forms have arms. We have a Flip-Flop of God on this: In the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien years, the reformatted Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix have the symbol always on the chest, and to change directly from one alien form to another (the original version couldn't do that) he slapped the Omnitrix symbol. Dwayne McDuffie, the showrunner at the time, said that the pre-reformatted Omnitrix wasn't working at 100%, and it was always meant to be in the center of the chest for easy reachability. However, Omniverse puts the Omnitrix symbol in different places again, and its showrunner Derrick J Wyatt said that it was errors in the previous models that limited the positioning of the Omnitrix during AF/UA. Neither explanation has been mentioned in-show. It eventually gets his identity exposed in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: A young fan noticed that there were a bunch of aliens wearing the same symbol in about the same area, and after poking around that area found that Ben wore an identical symbol on his watch... The Plumbers in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien have badges (identical to Ben's Omnitrix symbol) that they wear on the chests of their armor. We find out that the Omnitrix and the Plumbers bear the same symbol because it is an intergalactic peace symbol that predates both. |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man's spider at the center of his costume's web-pattern. (He also sports a more abstract spider on the back of it.) The Black Costume/Venom has a larger white spider design that takes up most of the chest and back. Ben Reilly had his own Spider-Man costume design, which Spider-Girl (Pete & MJ's daughter from an Alternate Universe 20 Minutes into the Future) adopted for her own series. Norman Osborn's Iron Patriot armor also has a Uni-Beam, shaped like a star. This feature ironically causes the Uni-Beam to overheat after multiple uses, used to the advantage of Spider-Man in their most recent fight. |

Super Sentai / Power Rangers: Many teams feature Chest Insignia. Sometimes it's a team logo, sometimes it's a personal one. A few have the smaller offset-to-the-side version. Logo belt buckles are also used but they're generally not as visible. Notably, the original Power Ranger team only had the belt buckle versions (except for the White Ranger), but the trope was powerful enough for all of the toys from the original run to add them to the chest as well. The movie followed suit. (We wouldn't get show-accurate MMPR toys until 2009, well after MMPR's 1993 debut!) These insignias got a lot easier to spot when Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger made prominent use of them. A list (and where they appear on each team's costume) can be found here. |

This is done for maximum horrific effect in Blackest Night among the Black Lanterns. When a corpse rises as a Black Lantern, the Black Hand symbol (a downward-pointing triangle with five lines coming from the top) is always incorporated into their new costume; sometimes in extremely imaginative ways (for instance, Black Lantern Superman has his S-shield as the triangle). | |

Although he didn't have it at the beginning, Danny eventually (although in an incredibly convoluted manner) gets his own at the beginning of the second season in Danny Phantom as a stylish "DP". Dani, on the other hand, has her logo slightly off center. |

Legion of Super-Heroes: The reboot version of Lar Gand wore a costume with an insignia◊ that could be seen as either an "M" for M'onel (his 30th century Code Name) or "V" for Valor (his 20th century one). Various other Legionnaires also wear or have worn chest insignias, such as Sun Boy's sunburst and Timber Wolf's stylized wolf head. By the post-Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! continuity, if not before, it became standard for all Legionnaires to wear a belt buckle with the Legion's insignia, an L and star inside a circle. |

There's the "i" in an oval sported by The Incredibles. Even the villain Syndrome sported an "S" that covered his entire torso. Interestingly, during the lawsuits that force Mr Incredible and other supers into hiding, Mr. Incredible's defense lawyer covers his Chest Insignia with a hand. This makes sense in context, given that Mr. Incredible is an identity defined by said logo. | |

Child of the Storm: Steve has Captain America's traditional five-pointed star on his chest. Carol, his great-granddaughter, uses variations on it in her own gear. Harry vacillates between the Phoenix, given his connection to the entity in question, and a Tolkien-esque stylised tree with seven stars in a semi-circle above it - the original crest of the Alliance of Realms, which became the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil, worn by his distant ancestor, Frey. (It's seven stars because Muspelheim was their enemy, and Niflheim, later Helheim, was essentially empty, included as part of the design of Yggdrasil rather than an active member). The Tolkien nod is intentional In-Universe - it's revealed that Loki took a liking to him and gave him the tour of the Nine Realms, while his mild abilities as a Seer meant that he picked up far more than anyone initially realised. The House of El crest pops up, eventually, on Clark's suit. |

The iconic bat silhouette. This was lampshaded in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman admits that the famous bright yellow background is, obviously, a great big target as he gets shot smack dab in the middle of it, revealing that there's armor plating behind it. He then goes on to explain that he did it because he "can't armor my head". (Has Batman not heard of helmets, or does he just not want to wear one?) | |

This is played with in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Power Girl crossover Origin Story. When Alex Harris decides to assume the identity of Superwoman, the costume she designs has a combination of the classic Power Girl Cleavage Window along with the color scheme of Superman. Alex accepts and believes in Kara's reasons for not having a real Chest Insignia, but she also acknowledges the House of El by including the Superman crest on her belt buckle and on the broaches that hold her cape on. Like Power Girl, Alex feels that if people are overly preoccupied or distracted by her boobs that's their problem, not hers. | |

MegaMan NT Warrior: Every Navi has a circular personal symbol of some sort, and several mount it in the center of their chests, notably Rockman himself. (Hino "Hinoken" Kenichi actually used recolors of the same symbol for all three of the Navis he operated during the series: FireMan, HeatMan, and FlameMan.) There's a subversion with Blood Knight Bass/Forte: in place of a symbol he has a massive scar where his symbol would normally be. |

Spider-Woman: Jessica Drew has yellow arrow pattern marks over her womb and abdomen; connected in between her breasts follows an upside-down triangle placed over her chest. When she switched to her biker-inspired look, she used a minimilistic yellow spider design similar to her original insignia. Jessica Carpenter wears a black costume with a larger white spider design that takes up most of the chest and back. In fact, her costume was the inspiration for Peter's original black costume. |

Inverted in the Facing the Future Series where Sam designs a logo for her ghost identity Sam Tasma that goes on the back of her coat. Despite the impracticalness of it, it doesn't matter to Sam. | |

Masters of the Universe: Revelation: He-Man's insignia is changed into a symbol that can either be read as the letter "H" or "M" (for He-Man.) When Skeletor gains the power of Grayskull, the same symbol appears on his chest in glowing green. |

City of Heroes allows players to choose chest insignia from over a hundred symbols, plus every letter in the Greek and Roman alphabets and all ten decimal digits. Although the letter and number options are pretty rarely used, as they look kinda silly. |

Deadpool: Deadpool's, erm, "Deadpool Symbol" (a simplified version of his mask), makes an appearance on his belt buckle, his weapons, his boxers and on the center of many of his shirts. | |

Most Transformers sport the robot-face Autobot or Decepticon logo prominently on their chests (Others may have them on their shoulders, or wings if they have an aerial alt-mode). Skyfire switched out his own logo to indicate he'd defected, demonstrating that these logos are removable, not painted or embossed. (Magnetic patches, perhaps?) Some of the Decepticon ones, at least, are brands: see Transformers: Animated, when Mixmaster and Scrapper join the Decepticons. We've also seen these symbols appear out of flippin' nowhere when a character joins/changes sides. And a couple of spy characters have the ability to change theirs at will. |

Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!: Captain Carrot has a "C" over a carrot. Fastback has a big up arrow. Rubberduck has a yellow "R". Little Cheese has a wedge of green cheese in a sunburst. Yankee Poodle has a white star, but on her midriff rather than her chest. Pig Iron and Alley-Kat-Abra have belt logos: a "P" formed from a bolt and a magnet, and the same four-pointed star that appears at the end of Alley's "Magic Wanda". |

A few of the superheroes in Happy Heroes have a chest insignia. Happy S.'s symbol is a heart. Sweet S.'s symbol is a pink-red first aid cross, symbolizing her healing abilities and protective personality. Careful S. has planet Gray's symbol (a yellow alien head with antenna-like ears on its sides) to represent how he was continuously used for evil from seasons 1 to 9. From Season 10 onwards, the insignia is changed to Kalo's triangle symbol to represent how they used to form the Gallant duo. Kalo's symbol is an inverted triangle. As mentioned above, Careful S. adopts this symbol himself starting from Season 10. |

Captain America: Captain America's white star, though the pattern on his shield and the A on his forehead are also pretty emblematic of him. USAgent, who was Captain America for a while in the 80s, has red and white stripes with a black star in the upper-left. When Steve Rogers served as Director of SHIELD, his outfit had a chest insignia featuring a white star inside an outlined white circle, with three white stripes extending on each side of the circle. |
