Many times, when an author wishes to identify a certain character as a badass, said character will be given some sort of horrific permanent disfigurement. Most of the time, the disfigurement will stay unnoticed, possibly out of respect for they that are marked, or because the story behind it is too horrible for the others to imagine. But there always exists the chance that some bystander will ask about the scar, in which case the Badass is contractually obliged to explain it. When they are, expect the story to be long-winded, fantastical, and involving at least one Moment of Awesome. In other words, a Remember When You Blew Up a Sun? moment. Super-Trope to A Scar to Remember, when the story has the scar. Similar to Scar Survey, but can occur between any two characters (not just hero/heroine) at any time (not just after sex). Can overlap with Rugged Scar. In the case of Rugged Scar, the story is not the important part, just the general fact that having the scar makes the character seem tougher. For further scar-y goodness, see Covered with Scars; Good Scars, Evil Scars; Scar Survey; and Scars Are Forever. |

Tokyo Ghoul: Ken Kaneki has a large surgical scar on his abdomen, from the surgery that turned him into a Half-Human Hybrid. It stands out since his extreme Healing Factor means he doesn't have any other scars, even from the other injuries he received the night Rize attacked him. Hachikawa wears a jacket with a high collar that covers the lower half of his face. When a subordinate confronts him about shooting at a civilian to attack Black Dog, he yanks down the collar to reveal that he wears it because she once ripped away all the flesh around his mouth. |

Lampshaded in Misfile when Emily is taking auto shop and she notices some very distinctive scars on the teacher's aide's fingers. He tells the story of the accident where it happened and every other guy in the in the class then begins to show off their scars and tell the story of how they got them. This squicks out Emily who then exasperatedly asks aloud why guys seem to always be so keen to talk about their scars. | |

Arrow The hero Oliver Queen returns home after five years Lost at Sea with 20% of his (well-muscled) body covered in scar tissue, plus some unexplained tattoos. The writers go out of their way to show how he got the majority of them via flashbacks throughout the first five seasons (he receives a few more in the present). Oliver gets them all removed between Season 3-4, but they continue to appear in flashbacks until Season 6. In "Time of Death", Oliver, John Diggle and Sara Lance share the origins of their various scars (IED, grenade, knives, bullets, etc.) Felicity Smoak proudly states that she has a scar...from getting her wisdom teeth removed (3 stitches!). During the episode she gets a real one when she takes a bullet for Sara and seems rather happy about it. |

Merno from Dragon Sanctuary has scars covering his whole body, the most prominent being the one across his left eye (the eye itself is glass) and a nasty black and red veiny one on his left wrist. There's also a scar on his spine; that combined with him mentioning that he's sterile implies that at some point he was successfully attacked by a succubus. | |

This scar is a reminder that Hibiki is the sole survivor of the Noise attack that killed Kanade and made Tsubasa a Broken Bird. It's also where Hibiki was impaled by the Gungnir shards that broke off from Kanade's armor. | |

The Simpsons: Bart asks Herman, the gun shop owner, how he lost his arm. He replies, "You know how they tell you to keep your arms inside the bus?" According to the commentary on the DVD, this was going to be a running gag: Every time the character showed up he would be asked about his arm and and he would have a different story every time. However the second time, wherein he lost his arm in a bowling alley ball return, was cut and they never bothered to pursue it further. "Moms I'd Like to Forget": Bart goes to great lengths to learn the story behind a mysterious scar on his hand. |

That is where he nearly stabbed himself through the heart to save Hinata from the Kyuubi. Hinata, understandably, loves this scar, and kisses it whenever she can. Keiko Takamichi has some "cool battle scars" on her back, from where Pein's Animal path hit her after she and her cousin finished off the Naraka path. |

In RWBY, Weiss Schnee has a small scar across her left eye. When her VA, Kara Eberle, was asked about it, she instead replied "[the fans] will find out." This alone implies that it's significant. It was later confirmed that she received her scar as depicted in the White trailer: A knight slashed her across the eye during a duel.

Harry Potter: The title character is famous for the lightning-bolt shaped scar he got when Voldemort tried to kill him as a baby; for some reason the spell rebounded and "killed" Voldemort, leaving Harry with just that scar (which is doubly odd, since it's noted that usually the Killing Curse leaves corpses unmarked). Later in the series he also gets some scars on the back of his hands that read "I must not tell lies," thanks to the wonderful teaching practices of Dolores Umbridge. There's also Mad-Eye Moody's scars from his career spent fighting Death Eaters, and Lupin's facial scars (in the movies) are self-inflicted due to his transformations. Averted with Dumbledore's scar on his kneecap shaped precisely like The London Underground; it's mentioned offhand in the first chapter of the first book and then never explained or even referenced again. |

Harry Dresden from The Dresden Files. At one point Anastasia sees him topless and touches each scar. He gives a short summary of what gave it to him. Even though he has a (very slow) Healing Factor, he still has lots of them. A bit more dramatic than most, because most or all of them weren't just random backstory, but happened in the series where the reader got to see it happen. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Misato has a huge scar just below her ribcage, which along with the cross-shaped pendant left from her father, is a painful reminder that she was at ground zero of the Second Impact, as well as that she's the Sole Survivor of the scientific expedition that unintentionally triggered said disaster. In her mind, it is as much of a symbol of how It's Personal with her drive to kill all the Angels as it is an actual blemish on her skin. | |

When he meets mentor figure Taeris on his journey, the older man's face is covered in similar scars. Further events reveal they are all from the same horrifying incident, in which a 13-year old Davian Controlled a room of attackers into slicing up their own faces. | |

Ultimate Marvel: Ultimate X Men: Much of Wraith's anger against Wolverine is because of that big scar he left in his face. The Ultimates (2002): Captain America left a huge scar on Herr Kleiser's face with his shield. At one pointed he boasted that it had almost healed. Almost. Spider-Men II: The adult Miles has a blind date with Barbara, who is surprised by his huge scar in the face. Wilson Fisk steps in to "salute" him and mentions that he got that scar while saving his life. |

In the Tawny Man trilogy, Fitz is posing as the servant of a very effeminate nobleman. When a rookie soldier tries to make fun of him over the rumors that he's more than just a servant, all the experienced soldiers nearby take one look at his scars and try to talk the rookie down. At one point his injuries, and with it scars, are all magically healed. After taking one look at himself he magically puts the scars all back. Not because he is proud of them, but because he is instantly recognizable as a member of the royal family without them. | |

The Order of the Stick: The paladin O-Chul has a very distinctive scar next to his eye. The story "How the Paladin Got His Scar" (a Kickstarter-exclusive story that eventually got compiled into the Good Deeds Gone Unpunished print book) details how O-Chul got the scar. O-Chul was stabbed by a fanatical paladin who would have led Azure City into a bloody war of extermination against the hobgoblins that would have led to the deaths of countless innocents. O-Chul kept the scar, despite there being magic that could heal it, to remind himself and the Sapphire Guard to never stoop to such fanaticism that they forget that their duty to protect. | |

The spin-off Abraxas: Empty Fullness reveals in King Ghidorah's Start of Darkness story that the distinct chipped horn which the right head (Ni) has in the movie was the result of the horn being broken when Ni and his brothers were violently captured by the Makers to be subjected to experimentation. This happened when the three brothers were still Dorats, which explains why Ghidorah's Healing Factor never changes the damaged horn; because the horn was broken before the Makers' experiments gave Ghidorah its regenerative power. | |

In Turning Red, Grandma Wu has a visible scar on her right eyebrow. It's later revealed that her daughter Ming was the cause of it after losing control of her panda form and attacking her. However, knowing that Ming was unable to control her transformations at that time, Wu was willing to forgive her, though Ming herself couldn't bear to forgive herself for the incident. Given how massive Ming's red panda form is, it's implied to have been caused as collateral damage from her rampages rather than something Ming did directly, otherwise the scar wouldn't be quite as small. | |

The page quote comes from The Dark Knight, where the Joker tells the story of how he got his Glasgow Grin twice, to two different characters, and tries to tell it a third time to Batman mid-fight but doesn't get a chance.

In the series' Distant Epilogue she explains that it marks when she became an alchemist warrior.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Played for Laughs (like everything else) in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) when Peter Quill boasts of his manly scars, each of them amounting to "one of his flings injured him in a fit of anger". In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Natasha shows Steve a bullet wound in her torso from a previous encounter with the Winter Soldier. Earlier in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Nick Fury told Steve, "The last time I trusted somebody I lost an eye." Years later, in Captain Marvel (2019), it's revealed that his eye was scratched out by a flerkin. In Black Panther (2018), Eric "Killmonger" Stevens has a scar somewhere on his body signifying each person he has killed. |

A tie-in storybook based on Disney's The Lion King (1994) actually explained how the villain got his scar in the first place. Scar, then known as "Taka", was jealous of his brother Mufasa and tried to get a wildebeest to attack him. Scar was the one who ended up attacked and was permanently left with a scar of his eye. Afterwards, he renamed himself "Scar". | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko's scar in Avatar: The Last Airbender came from when he spoke out of turn in a war council, protesting a plan involving sending a green regiment to their deaths for some tactical advantage, and his father the Fire Lord challenged him to an Agni Kai (a firebending duel) over it. Zuko refused to fight him, and this was how his father punished him. Lin from The Legend of Korra received two scars on her cheek when she tried to arrest her half-sister, Su, who cut a metal cable connecting them which flew back and cut Lin by accident. It serves as a reminder of their estranged relationship. After we see a flashback of this, Lin and Su fight and reconcile in the present. |

In Dead West, The Porcelain Doctor's scars. He hates his scarred body, both because he thinks is unattractive and because he considers them the remnant of his failures. Gervas has a different opinion, and starts to realize that Niall is not just a fragile doll after seeing them. He is the one who interrogates the doctor about them, and even gets answers. Mostly horrific ones. The great scar on The Porcelain Doctor's hip and thigh is left by a domesticated tiger his cousin sicced on him, the star-shaped one on his shoulder and back was inflicted by a jealous classmate with a javelin, and there are the scars on his forearms, after the bites of their dogs after his brother's failed attempt to help him learn to train their dogs. The Merry Company mistakes the scars as evidence of Parental Abuse for some reason. | |

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, scars are a symbol of glory and honor. A good story can bring more renown if it's got a scar you can show off, and a wicked scar is always cooler if it's got a howl-worthy story behind it. And due to their Healing Factor only aggravated damage like fire, silver, or the claws of other werewolves leaves scars, practically guaranteeing a story behind each scar. |

MonsterVerse fanfiction Abraxas: Although Mariko is revealed to have survived the destruction of Outpost 58 from her canon appearance (the Godzilla: King of the Monsters official novelization), she came out of it with bad facial scars which serve as a permanent physical reminder of her crime. The spin-off Abraxas: Empty Fullness reveals in King Ghidorah's Start of Darkness story that the distinct chipped horn which the right head (Ni) has in the movie was the result of the horn being broken when Ni and his brothers were violently captured by the Makers to be subjected to experimentation. This happened when the three brothers were still Dorats, which explains why Ghidorah's Healing Factor never changes the damaged horn; because the horn was broken before the Makers' experiments gave Ghidorah its regenerative power. |

Red Dead Redemption never explains how John Marston got his impressive facial scars, it's implied they were given to him by a wolf. However, the sequel/prequel finally gave players a definitive answer 8 years later - wolves were indeed involved. After a robbery gone wrong, he got separated from the gang he ran with and got lost. Before being found and rescued, some wolves attacked him. | |

Before she entered the hellhound adoption circuit, as a child, she was living on the streets alongside an older hellhound named Claw who took care of her. During a raid on a warehouse's food supply, Claw attacked and attempted to murder Loona so she could take all the food for herself, maiming Loona's ear before she left the latter for dead. | |

In Muhyo and Roji, Rio has some scars on her back and Bico has one on her wrist, which are usually covered up by their clothing. The cause of those scars was an incident during Bico's time as a student when she combined two of the wrong ingredients. Rio warned Bico about her mistake, then shielded Bico from the resulting explosion to show her what can happen if she makes a mistake, resulting in Bico coming to idolize Rio as her teacher. | |

Many characters in A Song of Ice and Fire bear scars, and probably the most notable "how-I-got-these" story would go to Sandor Clegane, who decides it would be fun to tell Sansa all about how his brother held his face down in a lit brazier when they were kids. Sansa is not enthused. He probably gets topped by Lord Beric Dondarrion, because each of his hideous scars is from a wound that killed him, only for him to be repeatedly raised from the dead by his companion Thoros the Red Priest. As well as seeing his body slowly turn into a mass of savage-looking scars, each resurrection also leaves scars on his soul. Ironically, he gets another horrific one when he loses a duel with Sandor himself. |

Used a lot in One Piece: When talking to Whitebeard, Shanks points to the scars over his eye and uses it as an example of how dangerous Marshal D. 'Blackbeard' Teach really is, as he was the one who caused the wound. Kaido is introduced as an invulnerable man who has survived all manners of executions without so much single scratch, but has a noticeable scar in his abdomen region that seemingly contradicts that notion. Later, this is revealed to have been inflicted by a daimyo of Wano Country, Kozuki Oden, the only person to have ever wound him. |

Each member has at least one scar, which they call "medals," and they are proud to show them to her and tell how they got them (in a knife fight, shot, etc.). One young trainee gang member doesn't have any medals yet but is looking forward to getting one in the next rumble - if he doesn't have a medal he can't become a full member of the gang. He ends up killed in the rumble. | |

We slowly learn the story behind some of Raegdan's multitude of scars in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic The Lunar Guardsman. He tells Twilight and her friends of the time he and a dying, giant cat creature fought each other as each was the other's last chance for food. He won but he has its teeth marks on his arm from when it bit him hard enough to break it. He has two large circular scars on his chest near his heart. One is from when one of Twilight's kidnappers shoved his horn in his chest. The larger one he got from a horn too, only this one he got from Celestia herself. A scar in his cheek is revealed to be from a bullet when he tried to kill himself. His missing pinkie finger. He forced Luna to bite it off as punishment. |

Star Wars Rebels fanfiction A Sword to Pass: Ursa’s recon team start to bond with Sabine over their scars with tales that just sound silly and embarrassing, such as one getting their head stuck in a door. Which contrast with Sabine’s as it was gained in a fight. | |

Person of Interest: In the episode "The Devil You Know", it turns out that Mafia boss Carl Elias' Number Two, Anthony "Scarface" Marconi, acquired the scar under his right eye in the process of killing his abusive father to protect his mother. Similarly, "Flesh and Blood" shows scars on Elias' hands, which he received from a garotte used by his father's henchmen when Don Moretti tried to have him killed. |

Bleed Kaga from Future GPX Cyber Formula has his trademark crescent-shaped scar on his forehead, which is the product of a car explosion which killed his best friend as a result of the Zero Realm when Kaga failed to save him, and for many years he steered away from the skill. | |

While showering with her under a waterfall, Ash notices that she's Covered with Scars all over her body, though most of them are small and he suspects probably don't have epic stories behind them. In a later chapter, while she's bathing with the girls in a pond, she reveals that a few do have some stories behind it, such as one she has around her left hip caused by a fight with some Gabite for a pond near a cave. | |

Heart Core Actually starts off with one of these. It shows how Ame, once a happy and cheerful princess, was forced into a permanently scarring ritual by her father, costing her much of her powers and leaving her with large scars on her face and arms that never healed. This made her rather bitter against her dad. | |

The Ironclaw novel Scars has some examples of course. Most notably the scars on main character Danica's fingertips from when her father ripped out her claws and cauterized the wounds, after she accidentally scratched her legitimate half-brother. And Danica realizes that the supposed impostor of prince Fabrizio de Rinaldi is the real one when she recognizes the scars she gave him. | |

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Spike has a scar on his eyebrow, mainly because James Marsters received one in a mugging. Still, in "Fool For Love", while Spike is telling flashback stories, one of them shows the character getting it during his fight with the Chinese Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion. Apparently, it was a magic sword. | |

Shotgun Stories, a 2007 film starring Michael Shannon, is essentially named after this trope: Shannon's character has prominent scarring on his back from a shotgun blast, and several stories are told throughout the film, explaining them. Each story gives an alternate interpretation for who he is as a person, and for his motivations throughout the film. | |

The Punisher (2017) In "Cold Steel", after sex with Billy Russo, Dinah Madani spots a bruise that he claims is a paintball bruise from a training exercise (actually it's from when the Punisher shot Russo while he was wearing a bulletproof vest) and compares it to an actual bullet wound on his body. Dinah expects a suitably badass (and somewhat exaggerated) war story about an injury to his shoulder, but Russo reveals that's from when his arm was broken by a pedophile while he was in a group home. Dinah jokes that at least his handsome face wasn't damaged. In "One Bad Day", Russo (his face now extensively scarred) has rough sex with his therapist Krista Dumont, who turns out to have her own scars and even encourages Russo to squeeze them during sex to inflict pain on her. After sex, she tells Russo to just go ahead and ask how she got them because everyone does eventually (though it's a while before she reveals the full story). Used as character backstory with John Pilgrim who's shown to have faded neo-Nazi tattoos that appear to have been removed with laser surgery. We later discover that he's a former neo-Nazi who had a Faith–Heel Turn, though the Christian fundamentalists who employ him have no problem using him as their Pet Rat as well. |
