Wearing dark glasses or mirrorshades is long-standing visual shorthand for badassitude. The act of putting them on means that it's time to kick ass, take names or do both. The act of taking them off is a sign that somebody's about to get scrutinised by the badass, usually just prior to an asskicking. Obligatory for a Cyberpunk setting, or for intimidating Deep South Lawmen. A nice accessory to a Badass Longcoat. The opposite of Nerd Glasses, and the inverse of The Glasses Come Off. Overlaps, but is not identical to, Scary Shiny Glasses. If the shades are on the character 24/7, it's Sunglasses at Night. If the effect is to make the wearer look sinister rather than badass, this is Sinister Shades. If you're Making a Spectacle of Yourself, the effect is to make you look just plain weird. But remember, sometimes the Goggles Do Nothing. Occasionally the character may just wear their glasses on their heads as a head decoration rather then where their eyes are. Aside from making them look badass, the reason behind them wearing shades is so they don't show that their eyes flinch when firing a weapon or having massive swords flung at their face. So when a character isn't wearing any shades and running around firing automatic weapons and manages to show no discomfort you know they're truly badass. Another reason being that most people commonly have visual cues they give with their eyes subconsciously. Something a properly trained (or badass) opponent might pick up on. If they can't see your eyes, obviously they won't see you look at the gun before you leap into a roll for it, or look at the guy in the corner right before shooting him and making a break for it. Each type of frame has become an archetype of its own over the years: Wayframesnote Those square plastic glasses are commonly associated with power and status (and celebrities in general) or with bohemian intellectuals, while metal framesnote Most usually Aviators and Round Hippie Shades are mostly sported by either hippies or policemen (and for that matter, armed forces in general),note be sure you get the frame shape right or you'll wind up suggesting that your General Ripper drops acid; of course, that might be exactly what you're going for and Wraparounds have found their place within espionage. For some specific variants, see Sinister Shades, Triangle Shades and Round Hippie Shades. |

In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Char Aznable/Quattro Bajeena trades his famous helmet for a pair of shades. Zechs Merquise also wore shades in the prequel manga, Gundam Wing: Episode Zero. Harry Ord from ∀ Gundam and his legendary bug shades.◊ . Jamil Neate from After War Gundam X and Athrun Zala's "Alex Dino" disguise in Gundam SEED Destiny also fit with the trope. Both of Mr. Bushido's Ace Custom, GN Flag-based, Samurai-style Mobile Suits, have visors shaped like Kamina's shades. only with an extra pair in the middle. While they don't really serve any real purpose, they still look awesome. Finally, Sai Saici from G Gundam, when trying to look cool to a girl, wore a huge pair of pointed triangular shades. |

Ban Mido from Get Backers wears his 'Anti Evil Eye' shades constantly; the only time they ever come off is when he's about to use his signature Evil Eye, or in rare cases, when they've been broken.

Bleach: Seems to be a requirement for members of the 7th Division given former-captain Love Aikawa, former-lieutenant Jin'emon Kotsubaki and incumbent lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba all wear/wore badass shades. Renji's predecessor in the 6th Division Ginjir� Shirogane left to open a sunglasses shop called the Silver Dragonfly which Renji himself frequently buys from. (In keeping with his Butt-Monkey status, Renji's badass shades invariably get destroyed in battle shortly after he buys a new pair. No one else seems to suffer this fate.) | |

In Battle Spirits Shonen Toppa Bashin, Seven wears them when he takes on his "Galaxy Seven" persona. Compared to his cowardly and quiet usual persona, Galaxy is a flashy egomaniac. Masako also wears them, switching pairs depending on whether she's dressing as a teacher or is taking on her role as "Number Eight". The latter pair is reminiscent to Kamina's. (Unlike Seven, her personality doesn't change, but she does intend to come off as cooler/sexier that way.) | |

Chuck: Shades-wearing secret agent Bryce Larkin tries to give his sunglasses to Chuck, claiming that he should have them if he's going to be a real spy. In reality, he's imprinted an update to the Intersect within them. Later seasons seem to have shades that can either upload the Intersect to one's head, or remove it entirely. More mundane, but still cool, shades of various styles are worn by all the principle spy characters throughout the series. Even Chuck and Morgan look cool, but they increase Casey's badass cred. |

Nightmare from Kirby wears some Cool Shades. As does President Haltmann during his boss fight. Parallel Nightmare from Super Kirby Clash wears the same exact pair of shades. But once he loses it in the finale of the game, they become cracked to expose one of his glowing red eyes. |

Proto Man from Mega Man (Classic). Man's so cool, he wears shades under his shades. More accurately, his sunglasses underneath his helmet's visor. It seems like having a shaded visor in Mega Man Battle Network is one of the better ways to make your Navi an instant badass. Protoman and his Cross Fusion form. |

In the original film and its sequels, shades differentiate characters from extras within the Matrix. Virtually everyone that matters wears them. The technical reason they have them in The Matrix is so you can't see actors blink in gunfight scenes, although this is averted in the gunfight after Neo's first visit to The Oracle when Apoc and Switch both fight without them. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist Scar sports a badass pair of shades to hide his red eyes. He seems to have left them behind following his Heel–Face Turn. Another Ishvalan character, Major Miles also wears shades to hide his red eyes, the distinctive characteristic of his race. Greed is another character who likes sunglasses — in his case, it's mostly for the cool factor, but since he has Hellish Pupils, there is a practical benefit as well. In Ling Yao's cameo appearance in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) he's wearing some pretty awesome glasses. In fact; they're just like Greed's, as a nod to what happens in the manga. |

Yang Xiao Long of RWBY is about to be launched into a forest via catapult platform. Everyone else nervously prepares for it, but she calmly pulls some aviator specs out from nowhere and prepares to do some serious shotgun-gauntlet flying. Only for this one scene, sadly. In her stint in DEATH BATTLE!, she hilariously pulls out and puts on a pair of shades as she's walking away from Tifa's dead body. You couldn't possibly mention this trope without also mentioning the lovely (and deadly) Coco Adel. |

The King of Fighters: K' always wears sunglasses and takes them off during his intro. Some official artwork shows him with white framed glasses with red tint. The shades aren't solely there for show as his Chain Drive move has him throwing them at the foe and when hit, follows up with an autocombo, he also seems to have an infinite supply of sunglasses as he can perform his Chain Drive whenever he has 1 power bar. In KOF XIII, he has them on the whole time. Now he grabs back the sunglasses when it hits the opponent during Chain Drive. |

Dragon Ball: The Turtle Hermit, a.k.a., Muten R�shi, wears his shades for 90% of the time, giving him a more interesting look beyond the "wise, old sage" stereotype. As Jackie Chun, he doesn't wear them, since most people don't know how his face looks like without the shades (the wig helps too). The Glasses Gotta Go to signify that the Muten R�shi is going serious. Literally serious. The Muten R�shi's rival, the Crane Hermit, also wears shades to signify the audience their connection. The only time we don't see him without his shades is in one flashback where he was bald. The tournament announcer is never seen without his shades. It also protects him from the Taiy�ken, allowing him to observe the fights even everyone else is blinded by the intensity of the light. This inspires Son Goku to "borrow" the Muten R�shi's shades to counter the Taiy�ken. He also does the peace sign on top of the successful counter. To prove that Goku's Shunkan Id� works and how amazing it is, Goku teleports to the Muten R�shi and "borrows" his shades, giving Goku a cooler look for a brief moment. The gives the shades to Kuririn so the latter can bring it back to the Muten Roshi. Kuririn invokes this trope to look cooler, too. Due to the rules of the Tenkaichi Bud�kai preventing the participants to wear protective gear, Son Gohan has to find an alternative for his Cool Helmet which he only wears to conceal his identity. As a result, he's given shades and a bandana. This trope is largely subverted, given that the Great Saiyaman looks even more ridiculous with that combination than with his helmet. It is later played straight when he loses the bandana. It's especially effective when he turns into a Super Saiyajin with his shades which combined with his rage-filled facial expression makes for a very impressive looking appearance. One of the most iconic moments in Dragon Ball GT is the scene where the trio lands on Planet Rudeeze and are donning pairs of shades just to look cool. Given that it is desert planet with intense sunlight, the shades are justified. Dr. Myuu has a vizor built onto his face, adding to his relation with the Machine Mutants. |

Avataro Sentai Donbrothers also uses it as a theme that incorporates wide-angled Triangle Shades into the helmets and Megazords, as well as a regular design on their weapons. |

Guns N' Roses had two frequent wearers Axl Rose (who liked to use them over his bandanna◊) Slash who also frequently uses a nice hat. Axl is occasionally not seen wearing shades, but Slash on the other hand never takes his off. One interview said he went to see his mother who was dying of cancer in a hospital, and never took off his shades. |

In the Don Knotts episodes of The Muppet Show, the band approves of Fozzie letting them do "Lullaby of Birdland" for the closing number and make him an official Hip Dude, giving him a pair of 'Charlie Parker Lives supercool sunglasses'. The shades are so dark that Fozzie can't see where he's going and bumps into numerous things. After the final number turns into a disaster due to Fozzie letting Knotts play bass, the band strips the bear of his title and his shades. | |

Done to great effect in Hot Fuzz: the main character is disenchanted and giving up when he sees DVDs of Point Break (1991) and Bad Boys II in a little convenience store. Inspired, he buys a pair of cheap sunglasses that make him look disproportionately badass. He later hands off a spare pair to his partner when they meet up. | |

Cool Shades abound in Homestuck, ostensibly ironically. Dave Strider sports a bitching pair of aviators, the very same worn by Ben Stiller in the Starsky & Hutch movie. They were also a key item in the previous MS Paint Adventure, Problem Sleuth. Dave's Bro wears Kamina shades. It was an unintentional resemblance people kept pointing out which got a Fandom Nod later down the line when they were referred to as "dumb pointy anime shades". Terezi Pyrope wears bright red cat eye sunglasses, and Sollux Captor wears heterochromatic shades. Equius Zahhak wears sunglasses with perpetually cracked lenses. Dave's later upgraded and combined iSHades, which are an iPhone on a pair of aviators. And are awesome. John gets a similar pair of shades, but they lack the apple logo, and Dave's raw awesome. Post-Scratch Bro/Dirk Strider still has the Kamina shades but with his sentient auto-responder Lil Hal inside. Terezi's dancestor Latula wears red sunglasses. Or R 4 D sunglasses. You would think that combining a pair of Cool Shades with a helmet shaped like a skull would be pretty badass. You would, however, be wrong. Jake's Skulltop computer makes him look like even more of a dork than usual. |

Resident Evil Albert goddamn Wesker. Eventually, it's to cover up his bizarrely inhuman eyes, but mostly they're just there to be rockin'. He only takes them off twice in RE:5. The first time, he throws them at Chris as distraction (and then wipes the floor with him before catching his glasses to put them back on) before the boss sequence begins. The second time is during the final battle. He keeps his shades in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. He may lose them if he gets enough damage or if he uses his Phantom Dance hyper (which actually gives him a small damage boost in Ultimate), but taunting will make him put on a new pair. Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 drops a pair, which then explode as a distraction. Wesker's son Jake Muller puts this one on in the end of his and Sherry's campaign. |

ProZD: He makes frequent use of sunglasses to distinguish his various characters. With the video game characters Chaddicus and Braddicus ("And I'm very cool"), it's instead used to point up how one is just a copy-paste of the other. The "Cool Cow" card in the dairy farm card game. Not only does he wear Cool Shades, but playing him lets you put Cool Shades tokens on all your cards! They only give you +1 defense, but the player thinks they're funny. |

Batou takes this to its logical Cyberpunk extreme in Ghost in the Shell (all versions) by "wearing" night vision goggle lenses implanted in place of his eyes. They cannot be removed and his "real" eyes, should they exist, are never seen. Also double as Scary Shiny Glasses when he's being extra intimidating. Judging by their size and some other things, like a doctor in Stand Alone Complex trying to sell him actual eyeballs, they indeed are his eyes in their entirety, and their purpose is to pack in more functions than normal-sized eyeballs could, implying again that they are cylindrical and extend deeper in his skull than normal eyeballs would. Batou received these "eyes" during his time as an Army Ranger. As seen in Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig, they're standard-issue; the villains arrange for a team of Rangers to fight Section 9, but Batou convinces them to trust him by dropping his camouflage so they can see his Ranger eyes. | |

Molly (aka Rose, Sally, etc) from Neuromancer has mirrorshades surgically implanted over her eyes. The same surgery also rearranged her tearducts, so she literally can't cry. Instead, she spits. They're not just mirrorshades; they have microchannel image amps built into them so she can see in the dark. Somewhat cooler than your typical cybernetic replacement eyes, not to mention being rather easier to manufacture. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005): This campaign ad for Zaphod Beeblebrox puts forward the following argument: In other versions of the Guide these are "the greatest shades in the known sky": Joo Janta Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses. At the first hint of danger, they turn totally black, and prevent you from seeing anything that may alarm you. Ford isn't impressed. |

X-Men Film Series: Justified with Cyclops — he's always wearing them because they keep his particular mutation in check. X-Men: Days of Future Past: In 1973, Logan, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr sport fashionable '70s-style sunglasses. Quicksilver has a pair of goggles used to overcome anything that can impair his sight while in super speed. X-Men: Apocalypse: Professor X, Scott Summers, Alex Summers, Peter Maximoff and William Stryker are seen in '80s-style sunglasses. Logan: X-23 shoplifts a pair of Shopkins-branded sunglasses◊ from a convenience store, and she wears them at several points throughout both trailers. And despite being bright pink and blue plastic sunglasses covered with cartoon cupcakes, Laura still makes them look bad ass. See Exhibit A.◊ |

Ménage à 3 and its spinoff Sticky Dilly Buns: Erik hardly ever takes his shades off, even during sex, and definitely has a cool image. It's possible that he works at this consciously, with the shades as a prop; his cool does crack a little occasionally. When the very un-cool Ruby goes out in disguise as the street punk "Rudy", she switches her Nerd Glasses for similarly shaped shades. The disguise seems to do a lot for her confidence. |

Fallout: In Fallout 2, putting mirrored shades on actually gave your character + 1 bonus to Charisma. Likewise, in Fallout 3, Mr. Burke wears a pair of these. Which you can later steal from his house, provided you are crazy good with lockpicks (or have discovered cheat codes). Or you can just loot them off his corpse (which is probably the best option for anyone not playing as a evil character). One of the women in Andale has the same kind of shades. There's a way to get them without losing karma, just reveal Andale's evil secret and, when confronted by the 4 adults, tell them you think they're freaks. They'll try to kill you, which lets you get rid of them AND score some Cool Shades. Fallout 3 also has the "Lucky Shades", a unique pair of sunglasses that gives you a + 1 bonus to your Luck while you wear them. Fallout: New Vegas brings back the same model from Fallout 3 and introduces the new "Authority Glasses", a pair of aviator shades that seem to be a favorite of NCR Rangers. In Fallout 4, one of your companions, Deacon, rocks these. It's the only thing that's consistent among his numerous disguises. |

Persona Katsuya and Baofu from Persona 2: Eternal Punishment both sport some rockin' shades. In the PSP remake of Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Hitler/Nyarlathotep also looks pretty damn good sporting a pair, to the point where one wonders whether Atlus's censorship will backfire by simply making him look too cool. In Persona 4, the human members of the main cast all wear Cool Shades in order to see through the thick fog permeating the TV World. |

Back to the Future: The first Back to the Future ends with Doc Brown showing up wearing some very Cool Shades. They're so cool, they're made out of sheet metal! Christopher Lloyd couldn't see a thing out of them. They were only written in as a gag for the first film. When the sequels came around, he ditched them ASAP. In Back to the Future Part II, the glasses are revealed to be a part of the Delorean's Heads-Up Display. Note than you can now re-create this appearance with some brands of modern-day mirror shades. Marty also buys a pair of shades to go undercover in 1955 (specially as he went back to the events of the first movie, so he needs to look different from the other time-travelling Marty). |

The entirety of the A Better Tomorrow trilogy breathes this trope, with Chow Yun-fat's protagonist Mark donning shades as a high-ranking triad enforcer. The second movie where Chow plays a Backup Twin named Ken (due to Mark dying in the first movie) have Ken following his twin brother's habit of wearing shades everywhere he goes after his homecoming from New York. Those shades are of the Alain Delon 707A brand, and the film series' popularity leads to a spike in sales of said brand in Hong Kong, with Alain Delon personally penning a "thank you" letter to Chow as a result. | |

The Pokémon games have the "Black Glasses" item, a pair of Sinister Shades that heighten the power of Dark-type moves. The Pokemon Krokorok and its evolution Krookodile have a dark membrane surrounding their eyes that intimidates their opponents which looks like a pair of shades. The two player characters of Pokémon X and Y both wear sunglasses over their hats. (Only as the player characters, the rival versions don't wear them.) The customization options in Pokémon Sun and Moon onward allow you to purchase wearable shades. |

Cassidy from Preacher always wears them to hide his eyes, which seem to be the only part of him that changed substantially when he became a vampire. When he becomes human again at the end of the story, he throws his shades away. Both because his eyes look normal and because the shades embody his time as a vampire (during which he hurt and ruined a lot of people through his own selfish carelessness). | |

In Code Geass, Suzaku Kururugi wears a pair of shades in his civilian clothing. Schneizel sported a pair during the FLEIJA testing. They were only protective sunglasses, but still.◊ It's almost as is Schneizel has inherited Doc Brown's protective Cool Shades. Guilford gets in on the action too, though from the presence of a certain sort of cane when he visits Cornelia in the hospital, it's implied that this is not purely a fashion choice. |

Final Fantasy: Parodied in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, wherein Rude, upon having his shades destroyed during battle (because Reno steps on them), immediately produces a spare pair from his pocket and puts them on before returning to the fight. He seems rather distraught by their loss, though. Cloud has a pair at the beginning of the movie, though he loses them in the same scene. In the Dirge of Cerberus, Cloud puts on a new pair of (very sexy) sunglasses in the big battle cutscene. Final Fantasy VII Remake gives Barret a pair of black shades. They help him to exude an air of badassery to inspire the other members of Avalanche, because underneath, he has kind eyes that would be ill-fitting for a bio-terrorist leader. In Final Fantasy X, Auron is always wearing his shades, except during flashbacks. Downplayed as his cool shades are small and worn low on the nose, so you can often see at least part of his eyes. Al-Cid Margrace from Final Fantasy XII actually had someone to hold his glasses for him while he wasn't using them. Lightning sports a pair of fancy sunglasses in the intro of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. There's quite a few different types of shades that can be obtained in the game as cosmetic adornments, including the same pair she wears in the intro. |

In the first half of Pitch Black, Riddick puts his glasses on when he's kicking ass. The brightness of the sunlight leaves him vulnerable without his welding goggles — when they're torn off during a fight, he's pretty much helpless. However, he takes them off later during the total darkness of an eclipse: he wouldn't be able to see otherwise. The goggles are actually functional; his eyes are extremely sensitive to light (allowing him to see no matter how dark it is), so he needs them to protect his eyes. | |

In PvP, Brent Sienna is never seen without his trademark shades. He takes them off when he gets married, only to be blinded immediately because his eyes haven't been exposed to that much light in decades. He eventually takes them off for almost three years (real time) beginning in October, 2011, due to his vision having been so badly degraded from them, only to put them back on again in October, 2014, after a minor midlife crisis of sorts over the stress of being a father. At one point, Cole Wilson tries to emulate him by wearing aviator sunglasses, which Brent objects to because cool shades are his thing. A few strips later, Cole no longer wears them and admits he sat on them |

Prowl and Soundwave of Transformers: Animated both have similar pairs of shades as Kamina (though it's possible those are their actual optic sensors, being Mechanical Lifeforms and all; they even match their factions like most others eyes), and both are awesomeness incarnate (they're a nod to Joe Pineapple's optic visor from ABC Warriors of 2000AD comics). Jazz and Jetstorm also have sensors that look like visor shades, and Grimlock's are shaped like normal ones. | |

Monty Gator in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach has a pair of star-shaped shades. Aside from looking amazing, they serve a gameplay purpose: because most forms of stunning an animatronic involve triggering a "flashing lights" glitch in the animatronic optics, the shades make him immune to being stunned, forcing you to Run or Die. | |

The Chronicles of Riddick: In the first half of Pitch Black, Riddick puts his glasses on when he's kicking ass. The brightness of the sunlight leaves him vulnerable without his welding goggles — when they're torn off during a fight, he's pretty much helpless. However, he takes them off later during the total darkness of an eclipse: he wouldn't be able to see otherwise. The goggles are actually functional; his eyes are extremely sensitive to light (allowing him to see no matter how dark it is), so he needs them to protect his eyes. In The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), Riddick seems to put on (or take off) his welding goggles to emphasize what he's saying. He also takes them off or puts them on depending on the amount of light in a scene and how clearly he wants to see something. |

Team Fortress 2, being known for its large number of cosmetics, naturally boasts these. The most commonly seen are probably the Graybanns (a very standard-looking set of black sunglasses) and the Macho Mann (gold-bordered and paired with a Porn Stache). The Sniper also has them as part of his standard attire. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rainbow Dash has sported a pair of sunglasses on occasion. Also, there's Vinyl Scratch, aka DJ Pon-3, a pony DJ who's appeared briefly in a few episodes who wears a pair of purple shades. Her human counterpart has an identical pair, naturally. Rarity occasionally wears over-sized fancy shades, usually on picnic. Members of the elite flying team the Wonderbolts all have a pair when they don't have their flight suits and goggles on. |

J.C from Deus Ex never takes them off. When mocked by Agent Navarre for wearing sunglasses at night, he gruffly replies that his vision is augmented. Additionally it is suggested that the cool shades stop him freaking the public with his solid blue eyes. Adam Jensen, the reluctant Cyborg hero of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, has sunglasses built into his face that retract or extend at will. His vision is augmented, too. |

Blade Trilogy: Blade apparently stores his surplus Badassitude in his shades. In every movie, there seems to be a point at which he loses them, gets his butt kicked for a while, and then regains them, just to put 'em on in a badass way. Usually this happens right before fighting the Big Bad. Step 1 of defeating Blade is "remove his sunglasses". | |

Pokémon: The Series: Ash's Squirtle kept the Triangle Shades from his days leading the Squirtle Squad and has been known to pull them out from time to time. The recurring Sandile/Krokorok in Best Wishes has a pair of sunglasses with a red frame, even though its evolution line does technically have built-in shades. Its sunglasses give it self-confidence, which it loses if it loses its sunglasses. Ash ends up catching it during its fourth appearance and later evolves it into Krookodile. The sunglasses seem to grow in size whenever the Pokémon evolves. |

The Sandman (1989): The Corinthian wears shades to hide his nature. While his taking them off is a threatening move, his leaving them on isn't so reassuring either. Conveniently, by the time his master takes him for his first incognito visit to the real world in the 18th century (in Brief Lives), sunglasses have already been invented. In his 'regular job' as a nightmare he doesn't need them: turning around is a sufficient Reveal. When the new Corinthian gains human eyes in place of the mouths after a lot of Character Development, he ditches the shades. | |

Homestar Runner alternately references and parodies this a few times: Strong Bad's Cowboy Cop alter-ego Dangeresque, from the Strong Bad Emails "stunt double" and "dangeresque 3", wears "cool, cool glasses" that even get a mention in the "Theme From Dangeresque 2" on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits. In the Strong Bad Email "the bet", Homestar manages to win the eponymous bet with Strong Bad that he can "be's cool" by simply putting on a pair of Cool Shades at night and saying "'Sup?". In "Cool Things", Homestar buys a pair of "cool shades" from Bubs but stashes them inside a can of yellow paint before wearing them. When he dons the shades, still dripping with paint, the result is that he looks even more foolish than usual and can barely see, causing him to apparently confuse Strong Sad for an old friend named "Dripping Yellow Madness". |

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water: Sanson has some pretty damn Cool Shades. They have a similar shape to Kamina's without being as over the top, and the generally extremely similar personality of the two characters suggests that the Gurren Lagann team were a little inspired by Gainax's earlier figure of goofball manliness. His partner in crime Gadgeteer Genius Hanson also wears Cool Shades. |

In the Firefly pilot, Simon is first shown wearing a pair of nice-looking sunglasses. The Better Days comic tie-in indicates these are actually functional, as they block retina scans. Is is a slight nod to Chinese period films, where that style of glasses tends to be worn by evil characters or traitors. | |

Stephen Maturin of the Aubrey-Maturin series often wears glasses with colored lenses, which help him win at cards and with his gig as a really good spy, and also happen to disguise his pale, reptilian eyes, his most distinguishing feature. However, it's worth noting that during the books' time period, shades weren't considered cool at the time and were more medicinal in nature, being first used in Europe to help correct certain vision impairments. This is borne out when a fellow spy hears of Maturin's towering reputation and notes upon meeting him that he'd been expecting someone more heroic-looking, not someone who wore shades against the sun. | |

Orange Cassidy wears a pair all the time. Even during matches. It's more likely that they will fall off during a match than he will take them off. If they do, someone else will place them back on his head for him, or he'll pluck a new pair from his pocket. It helps him maintain his cool-as-a-cucumber countenance. Of course, if he takes them off himself, he has more in his bag of tricks than taps on the leg or dropkicks while keeping his hands in his pockets. | |

The Matrix: In the original film and its sequels, shades differentiate characters from extras within the Matrix. Virtually everyone that matters wears them. The technical reason they have them in The Matrix is so you can't see actors blink in gunfight scenes, although this is averted in the gunfight after Neo's first visit to The Oracle when Apoc and Switch both fight without them. It's also a visual cue that Neo is reaching his potential when he breaks Smith's shades. Smith takes them off and says, "I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Anderson." Sunglasses seem to be symbolic armor for everyone. Nearly every time someone gets beaten up, they aren't unquestionably defeated until after their shades are gone. One exception is Morpheus, who takes his off before Agent Johnson fights him on the truck, perhaps symbolizing the fight's ultimate futility. The final fight between Neo and Smith has them knocking each others' shades off early on, because armor is irrelevant with the level of control they both exert over the world. Sometimes though, The Glasses Come Off to show emotional vulnerability instead of physical. Neo takes off his glasses when visiting the Oracle as if to reflect the trust he puts in her. Persephone only accepts Neo’s kiss when the latter takes the glasses off. He also takes them off when rescuing Trinity, who is about to succumb to a gunshot wound. |

In Hellsing, Alucard's sunglasses, at least toward the beginning of the series. By later on, he's abandoned them, in what is probably the most badass way of having The Glasses Come Off ever. | |

Terraria: Demon Eyes have a very low chance to drop a dark lens, which can be used to craft these. If you wear them, the sun gets a pair, too! A hardcore character opening a Treasure Bag dropped by the Eye of Cthulhu will find 0x33's Aviators, vanity headwear that the devs created to honor a Terraria streamer. |

Beyond the Grave, the main character of Gungrave wears a pair of small, yet neat, sunglasses that have the left lens blacked out and a cross design on top of that. It serves a minor purpose in that the black lens slightly covers up the prominent scar on his face — and the fact that he no longer has a left eye, because it was shot out at point-blank range, and killed him back when he was still Brandon. | |

Many of the 'younger' Transformers (like Jazz and Prowl) have optics shaped like cool shades. Fans generally write fanfiction about them being blind underneath, or how they really have red Decepticon optics. Prowl and Soundwave of Transformers: Animated both have similar pairs of shades as Kamina (though it's possible those are their actual optic sensors, being Mechanical Lifeforms and all; they even match their factions like most others eyes), and both are awesomeness incarnate (they're a nod to Joe Pineapple's optic visor from ABC Warriors of 2000AD comics). Jazz and Jetstorm also have sensors that look like visor shades, and Grimlock's are shaped like normal ones. |
