The Faceless also come in bulk, as demonstrated by this subset of Mooks whose defining characteristic — apart from being evil, of course — is the lack of individual identity. They will wear matching uniforms and helmets or masks that completely obscure their facial features. Sometimes, the (perpetually scowling) lower portion of their faces may be visible, but their eyes will pretty much always be hidden, like under the brim of a helmet, behind Scary Shiny Glasses or malevolent looking masks (especially gas masks or Rage Helms), or beneath an opaque visor. Note that a balaclava or Ninja mask covers everything except the eyes, but goons wearing them still count. Note that a unique face as a symbol of identity means that You ALL Look Familiar allows for unmasked but identical mooks to be effectively Faceless.
You'll never see any faceless goon Pet the Dog, but they'll have no problem kicking them by the basketload.
The reasons for this trope are largely matters of convenience. Most obviously, the faceless goon does not display emotion; hence, he does not display humanity. It's much easier to accept characters as evil (and by extension, feel no tug of sympathy as wave after wave of them gets wiped out by the heroes) if you are able to forget that there's actually a human being behind each mask. Not showing any pesky emotions to undercut their menace also adds quite a bit to the creepiness factor.
There's also the fact that it's easier on the budget, as the director can keep reusing the same ten extras without the audience catching on quickly. It's also helpful in animation because you only need to design one character (or render one model in the case of video games or CGI) and one action figure, and the fact some fans will want to make an "army" out of multiple goon toys. Plus, it makes it more convenient for the hero should he ever need to hide amongst their ranks.
If even hurting them seems a bit extreme, you'll get Mecha-Mooks instead who are beaten till they show broken gears and sparks. This can also serve as a justification for why the Big Bad has so many identical soldiers running around.
A variant of this trope often occurs in superhero comics, with the various common criminals the hero can fight as a way to bring some action into the story. They are not given backgrounds or individual personalities beyond those of petty thugs and are typically found robbing banks, mugging defenseless citizens, and committing other crimes that the hero must stop. Not very bright, the criminals frequently try to fight the hero, even though the hero has super powers and/or special training. Of course, they never stand a chance.
What's interesting to note is that in Real Life the Faceless Goons do have upsides; if someone is behind a mask or hood or even mirrored sunglasses they often no longer feel responsible for their own actions and obey commands (especially very cruel ones) more readily than if they were just in plain clothes. Possibly a case of Truth in Television. This can, however, backfire pretty badly. Looking a man in the eye and then killing him is a very hard thing to do. Covering a person's face, subconsciously suppressing our recognition of them as human, makes killing them a lot easier on our willpower. This may be why heroes never have trouble hitting the Faceless Goons, yet the Faceless Goons can't hit the hero not wearing a mask.
These characters are usually Mooks. It's not completely unknown for the good guys' Red Shirt Army to get this treatment, but nowhere near as common. Should one of them lose their mask, they'll become a Uniformity Exception.
Not to be confused with Faceless Masses, Faceless Eye, or The Blank.

With the exception of their high ranking officers, most of the Helghast soldiers in Killzone wear a helmet, oxygen mask, and goggles that give them eerie glowing orange eyes, squad leaders omit the helmet in place of an officer's hat, recon troops just omit the helmet completely, elite soldiers wear just the goggles, and heavy assault troops wear Powered Armor that conceals the face entirely, the background info handwaves this by explaining that their planet's atmosphere has mutated their lungs (among other things) to the point that they can no longer breathe oxygen. The second game takes place on their home planet, by which time the masks have conveniently become a symbol of pride for the Helghast. Don't ask how the ISA soldiers are surviving without them.

For the most part ignored in Ranma ½, but there are a few instances where it appears. The group of male club members, most notably the Kendo club, who tried to beat Akane in a fight each morning at school in order to be able to call themselves her boyfriend. The other is an anime-only episode where the Villain of the Week practices Martial Arts Shogi... and consequently has a squad of mooks wearing Kuroko (Kabuki Theatre Stagehand) uniforms... which are then topped with shogi piece costumes during the actual battle. Another anime-only filler episode has Genma apparently stumble into a lost village filled with veritable clones of Nerima cast members, the Kuno clone commanding a squad of ninjas, and who orders them to attack the man-turned-panda with the opening quote.
Kodachi's Rhythmic Gymnastic Team, Mariko's cheerleading team, Mikado and Azusa have a group that they use for practice, Phoenix soldiers, principal has the teachers be this wearing costumes, etc. they are somewhat common.

All of the scientists in Jetpack Joyride have their faces covered by gas masks and hazmat suits. Even if X-Ray Specs are equipped, which otherwise leave them in nothing but underwear, the game doesn't show what they look like without their helmets. The only exception to this was a female scientist from Barry Steakfries: From the Files of Jetpack Joyride, a non-canonical comic book adaptation, nicknamed "Lab Lady".

The Neo-Vipers from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Taken to the next level, really, in the respect of this trope being to dehumanize them so the audience doesn't feel bad for them. There is a scene where the Vipers are seen unmasked... And the entire point of the scene is to show that they're completely mind-wiped with no chance of recovery, barely human anymore, really.

In the Fire Emblem series, enemy mooks are often represented with soldiers who wears a helmet that obscured their eyes. Bandits are never masked though, showing off their ugly faces. Some games have exceptions, like Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 have many enemy mooks without any obscured eyes (though they are usually shared) and starting with Fire Emblem: Awakening, enemy have portraits representing their class that shows their faces though it is still played straight with some classes like Knights and Generals.

Andor: Most of the goons actually have their faces showing in a break from Star Wars tradition with the Pre-Mor guard as the starting antagonists. This means that when the helmeted Stormtroopers do show up they're somehow even more faceless and anonymous as goons than usual, with their contrast with Imperial enforcers who are given a bit of characterization and visible faces.

Arrow:
Edward Fyers' mercenaries wear balaclavas all the time. This is handwaved as being to hide their identities from each other (presumably Fyers is the exception as he recruited them). Oliver Queen tries to infiltrate their camp in a dead mercenary's uniform and balaclava but Fyers is still able to recognize him.
Happens again in Season 2 with Slade's army Mirakuru-enhanced Super Soldiers, and the "Ghosts" of Damien Darhk in Season 4.
Members of the League of Assassins wear the mask-and-hood Dark Archer outfit, which comes in handy for a Dramatic Unmask whenever one of them turns out to be a major character instead of an ordinary mook.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has the Yiga Clan, a sect of Sheikah defectors who are pro-Ganon. While Sheikah ninjas do conceal their identities, their eyes are still visible. Yiga assassins, however, all wear solid white masks decorated with their inverted Sheikah-eye emblem which cover their entire faces. Yiga assassins can be found out of uniform acting like ordinary travelers to catch Link off guard, and it's evident that their ranks are composed of normal men and women. Once they reveal themselves, the Yiga teleport into their faceless uniform and attack. Interestingly, basic Yiga Clan Ninjas teleport away instead of ragdolling and exploding like the monsters, and their leader is killed at the end of his fight by his own mistake, most likely to keep Link from being responsible for killing fellow people. In the DLC, there is another case. The benevolent mummified Sheikah monk Maz Koshia tests you with several quests, but then, when Link reaches him, he animates himself for a duel with Link, something none of the other mummified monks have done. But even though he's asking Link to fight as a test and most other entombed Sheikah monks' faces have been visible, Maz Koshia wears a face cloth with the Sheikah eye over it, obscuring his face completely since he is a human opponent and might be too sympathetic otherwise. (It also ties him closer to Master Kohga, though, and there are deliberate contrasts between the two ninja leaders.)

The Replica Soldiers in First Encounter Assault Recon all wear helmets with masking visors or night-vision goggles. Not that it would matter, as they're all clones of their psychic commander. Also, the ATC security guards wear matching caps and sunglasses.
Project Origin gives a possible explanation as to why the Replica all wear face-concealing masks. Being clones, they all look alike, but the unmasked ones that appear in a late-game level are horribly disfigured and deformed, with twisted mouths, shrunken ears, colorless eyes, etc. In addition, their voices are deep, growling, and nearly incomprehensible.
Armacham's security/mercenary troops play around with this. In the first game, the security guards wear caps and shades but their faces are otherwise visible (and in the expansions, their troops in riot gear wear full-face helmets). In Project Origin the unarmored Black Ops units wear balaclavas, while the Black Ops assault troops wear helmets and goggles that cover more of their faces, but the elite troops have full-face masks. By F.3.A.R. the entire Armacham force policing Fairport wears balaclavas, even their helicopter pilots.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero — The rank and file of Cobra troops invariably wear some form of face-concealing masks and helmets. By contrast, there were rare appearances by non-main-character Joe soldiers, who wore non-concealing kevlar helmets.
The basic blue-shirted Cobra infantry and officers have masks over their mouth and nose along with their helmets, exposing only their eyes. Vipers (the infantry rank supposedly lower than even the regular blue-shirts) have full faceplates (and extraneous goggles), while other specialist units wear similar face-concealing gear.
In one episode, the GI Joes attack an unknown COBRA base which turns out to be a "recreational facility" (On the south pole...), and we see a bunch of COBRA mooks in a swimming pool — they are all wearing identical blue swimming trunks and their standard-issue helmets and masks.
Not to mention how the series averts this; Cobra Commander and Destro, the most prominent villains on the show, were both perpetually masked.
The comics were heavily into showcasing random and not-so-random Cobra bad guys literally removing their face-obscuring helmets. Heck, a faceless goon literally kills many G.I. Joe soldiers.
The SKAR Troopers in G.I. Joe Extreme had grey, skull-like masks in the first season, and faceplates similar to the one used by the Cobra soldiers in the second season.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey:
Because they need helmets to survive in the Schwarzwelt, everyone in the Strike Team, whether they have names or not, winds up a faceless goon. Even you. This is thanks to the Demonica's head-concealing helmet, which doesn't even have eye-sockets — its "eyes" are actually optical sensors that project an image inside the helmet. Only plot-important characters ever raise the helmet's faceplate to let the player see their faces. The nameless, black-clad and villainous Jack Squad members also wear their faceplates down, making them more apt representatives of the trope.
Ironically, the Doppelganger demon looks just like you, and doesn't wear a helmet because it doesn't need one. The "Demonica-N," "Demonica-C," and "Demonica-L" demons, on the other hand, are meant to reflect what Strike Team humans look like, so they get helmets to complete the illusion.

Shin Megami Tensei:
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey:
Because they need helmets to survive in the Schwarzwelt, everyone in the Strike Team, whether they have names or not, winds up a faceless goon. Even you. This is thanks to the Demonica's head-concealing helmet, which doesn't even have eye-sockets — its "eyes" are actually optical sensors that project an image inside the helmet. Only plot-important characters ever raise the helmet's faceplate to let the player see their faces. The nameless, black-clad and villainous Jack Squad members also wear their faceplates down, making them more apt representatives of the trope.
Ironically, the Doppelganger demon looks just like you, and doesn't wear a helmet because it doesn't need one. The "Demonica-N," "Demonica-C," and "Demonica-L" demons, on the other hand, are meant to reflect what Strike Team humans look like, so they get helmets to complete the illusion.
In Devil Survivor 2, generic JP's members manage to fit this trope without wearing a mask by literally being drawn without a face. They are not The Blank, as their lack of faces is not mentioned in-game, making it a purely stylistic choice.

Naruto is an odd example in that it has had true Faceless Mooks exactly twice, during the Sand/Sound invasion of Konoha with most of the Sound and Sand village nin and the Samurai in the Land of Iron (although the latter were good guys sort of). However, it otherwise is an aversion of the "all identical" part as damn near every individual enemy has their own distinct designs and most of them even have names (although they're sometimes only given in the databooks). The members of the ANBU are the closest thing to a good guy version, and even then they have different patterns of their masks and recognizable features not covered by their masks.

Tarkin's Fist: Played with. As a stormtrooper we never learn SF-4738's first name. We don't get a physical description of his appearance under the helmet either. However, SF-4738's arc is dedicated to exploring the camaraderie that develops in the Stormtrooper Corps despite the dehumanization the Empire tries to enforce. Despite their robotic, uniform appearance, each Stormtrooper is a person with their own thoughts and feelings on the war, the Empire, and their position in it.

In Batman Begins, the League of Shadows' McNinjas obscure their faces, though they also ditch the masks when they infiltrate normal society. The masks actually become a plot point during Bruce Wayne and Ducard's duel: both don masks and hide among a throng of similarly-masked mooks.

The F.O.W.L. Eggmen in Darkwing Duck, who are identical (except for one Giant Mook) ducks in yellow jumpsuits with egg-shaped helmets that only expose their beaks. The Eggheads in DuckTales (2017) have a bit more variety in their builds (and even species), but have the same outfits and still don't get much characterisation (except Pepper, who's distingushed by wearing a helmet without a visor).

Unlike the Transformers, G.I. Joe had action figures of Faceless Goons from the very start, with the familiar blue shirted COBRA trooper being one of the first ever toys. The various specialist troops (e.g. Tele-Vipers, Eels, Alley-Vipers) were all sold as hordes of faceless mooks, alongside Battle Android Troopers and the Crimson Guard. Many of them were also exclusively sold with their vehicles, such as the famous HISS tank and the HISS driver.
One of the criticisms of the otherwise well-received G.I.Joe Classified series (begun in 2020) is that the COBRA Troopers, Red Ninjas and COBRA Vipers (all highly desirable for army-building purposes) are all much rarer than unique characters than Duke or Snake-Eyes or Storm Shadow. Worse, the Vipers were sold as exclusives at Target in the US. This has unfortunately led to scalpers buying up the Faceless Goons, selling them for exorbitant prices on the secondary market.

Some of the enemy soldiers in Modern Warfare wear balaclavas or gas masks, especially the Russian fascist Ultranationalists, even when they don't need them. Maybe Russians just like gas masks.
Similarly, many German soldiers in Call of Duty 2 wear either dark glasses or dark glasses and a facemask, even though they almost never need them.
Somewhat justified. In North Africa, sunglasses can come in very handy against the sun. In Russia, facemasks help to protect themselves against the extreme cold, something the Russians are more used to.
In Modern Warfare 2, Ghost wears a balaclava and sunglasses. Russian soldiers also often are wearing face masks as do the members of Shepherd's personal hit squad, the Shadow Company. Some of the Army Rangers and Taskforce-141 soldiers (the good guys) also cover their faces with balaclavas (such as the ranger on the cover).
In Modern Warfare 3, however, most of the Russian regular military and Makarov's goons tend to have exposed faces and wear berets or helmets, excepting the commandos that Makarov sends after Soap, Price, and Yuri in India and most of the "dock workers" in the London mission wear gas masks. For good reason, as they're transporting chemical weapons. At the end of the game, Price and Yuri put on Juggernaut armor, turning them into the faceless killers.

Shadow Raiders: In a rare heroic example, the Redshirt Army all wear masks. The In-Universe explanation is that the masks serve as both combat armor and environmental gear.

Assassin's Creed notably averts this; nearly everyone except a few Crusader knights and your own Assassin allies has a visible face, and the lack of a particular character's face being visible is a minor but important plot point late in the game. Interestingly enough, Assassin's Creed: Revelations gives you the option of doing this to your apprentices.

Discussed in The Last Adventure of Constance Verity. In "the old days", secret societies and other sinister cabals would make their soldiers wear uniforms was a good way to strip them of their identities, but it also made it easier for saboteurs like Connie to break in unnoticed, not to mention it lowered morale by reminding them of just how replaceable they are.

Discworld:
Defied by Vimes in Night Watch when there is danger of rioting at his Watch station.
While not exactly goons normally (they became goonish in Thief of Time) the Auditors of Reality are literally faceless, and so devoid of identity that if they show any signs of having one they pop out of existence.
In Reaper Man, it's implied that the ones with zero personal identity will squish any that shows a sign of individuality... like using the word 'I' two or three times.

SHINRA goons in Final Fantasy VII also have full helmets. The see-the-chin variant is used for every member of SOLDIER except the important ones (such as Zack and Sephiroth).
This is also used as a plot point, as one of the mooks accompanying Cloud and Sephiroth to Nibelheim is actually Cloud, while the Cloud in that flashback was actually Zack.

Ace Combat plays with this in the form of named aces; most of the time it's merely a bonus, as they're separate from the regular Mook enemy fighters and more elite squadrons, but they rarely had relevance beyond just being a high-point-value enemy pilot. Zero and 6 would add the Assault Records, which hold a profile for each and every named ace that you (or your wingman) shoots down, but Zero stands out in that every enemy ace squadron (instead of one in 04 and 6 each) has its own unique paint job, set of fighters and supposedly fighting style, while each enemy ace pilot has a name, individual callsign, profile, and an eventual fate. (In fact, one pilot's circumstances will depend on the extent to which you've spared or destroyed neutral targets.) Also, a few of these pilots are interviewed about you in the cutscenes.

In The Mandalorian, the Children of the Watch, the sect that the protagonist, Din Djarin, is part of has a rule that the face should always be covered, except when alone, or with intimate family members. This makes normal eating/drinking difficult since there is very little room to do so with his helmet on. Later, when he meets Bo-Katan Kryze, she tells him that the sect is a relative minority on Mandalor. (Djarin was a rescued as a child and taken in by that sect.)

Metal Gear Solid V surprisingly averts this for the most part. The vast majority of enemy soldiers do not wear any masks or helmets, probably to force the player to see their facial expressions whenever they get killed or incapacitated. However, the XOF soldiers still play this very straight.

Players of XCOM: Enemy Unknown who have either the preorder or Elite Soldier Pack can invoke this on their troopers with a variety of face-obscuring headgear as a means of not getting attached to them, and will only remove the helmets once they reach a sufficiently high level. Zemalf, in his playthrough of the expansion Enemy Within, uses this feature on his MEC Trooper, as seeing a man's head on a giant robot body creeps him out, lampshading that he'd prefer to think of him as a badass robot.

In the first two seasons of Ben 10: Alien Force, the Hightbreeds relies on the Dnaliens as faceless goons. Turns out quite quickly that Dnaliens are actually created by infecting human beings with face-hugger-like creatures called Xenocytes... which mean all the Dnaliens the heroes fought and killed were innocent, brainwashed human beings. The Forever Knights also count.
In Ultimate Alien, there are the Esotericas who willingly serve Diagon.

Their only characterization is that they're former military, apparently friends with the jerk who'd been kidnapping kids for ransom the month before, and have no problem slaughtering unarmed homeless people while they sleep.

Both Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys drew from the same small pool of stuntmen (and women), so all the baddies usually had something face-concealing or at least partly-face-obscuring on when they were beaten into the mat by the heroes.

In Luke Cage (2016) Shades constantly wears sunglasses and is the most emotionless and calculating of the criminals Luke fights, giving a version of this effect. In the second season, him ceasing to wear the sunglasses coincides with him becoming increasingly full of doubt and concerned about the morality of Maria's actions.

In Mayans M.C., wannabe MC the Swole Boys are the only bikers to wear actual motorcycle helmets with blacked-out visors, while the Mayans and Sons of Anarchy wear face-exposing half helmets. When the Mayans and Sons confront the Swole Boys for running one of them off the road, the injured party admits he doesn’t actually know which one did it, so he picks one at random and shoots the guy in the leg.

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. About 90 percent of the bad guy's goons are in green uniforms with snake-type masks/helmets with red eyes and fangs, concealing the top part of their faces. Slightly subverted in that the Commander of the Week is also usually masked, but wears a far more... creative costume.

The enemy soldiers in Sega's tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles all wear what appears to be some kind of medieval-style frog-lip helmet that looks to be near impossible to breathe in, much less look down the sights of a gun. And they don't stop bullets either. Even when an Imperial engineer becomes the topic of a Villain Episode, the Imps still remain Faceless with little personality. Said episode zigzags this trope; the enemy soldier gets his helmet removed, and another enemy soldier's eyes are actually visible through his helmet's vision slit in a cutscene. This is the only time in the whole game when that happens.

Mazinger Z: Ninety percent of the Mooks wear uniforms with helmets that conceal their faces. The Iron Masks wear Greek-style helmets that cover the entire head save for the mouth and chin. Becomes subverted in a horrific fashion when one of them has his helmet removed to reveal he is missing the upper half of his skull, removed by the Big Bad when the mook was Reforged into a Minion. The purpose of the helmets is not simply to protect their heads, but to replace their skulls and protect their brains. The Iron Crosses have similar helmets that cover all but the lower face, though their are more styled after WWI Nazi helmets.

The ski-masked mercenaries in the employ of Horne and Vlad from the Max Payne series certainly fit the pattern.
Played with in Max Payne 2; the Mooks pose as "cleaners", complete with jumpsuits. Making them mooks who pretend to be people who are socially invisible. Later on, they add leather jackets, ski masks, and bulletproof vests and occasionally pretend to be NYC cops. Despite all of the Cleaners using the same models, they are given a surprising amount of character if the Player Character overhears them, including discussion of TV shows, complete with spoilering each other. On one occasion, the Player Character hears music upon entering an apartment. It turns out to be one of the mooks playing the piano, with another one standing there, watching him. This is made slightly eerie by the fact that the mooks intend to kill pretty much everyone in the apartment building.
A pair near the end of the first game talk about their families, the one's daughter's piano recital, etc, and how henching is just their day job.
The third game zig-zags this, with favela Gangbangers, paramilitary thugs and Dirty Cops all freely alternating between masked/shaded and having uncovered faces.

In most Metal Gear games, a majority of non-boss enemies wear masks or helmets.
The Genome soldiers from Metal Gear Solid.
In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, most of the PMC troops wear normal uniforms with ballistic vests and helmets, while Ocelot's FROG troops are never seen without their fully-covering helmets and body suits. And they are damn scary.
In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance the cyborg mooks have their AR visors active and hiding their faces.
Metal Gear Solid V surprisingly averts this for the most part. The vast majority of enemy soldiers do not wear any masks or helmets, probably to force the player to see their facial expressions whenever they get killed or incapacitated. However, the XOF soldiers still play this very straight.

Battlestar Galactica:
In the original series, the Cylons were originally envisioned as armor-wearing Reptilians, before they were decided to be a race of robotic warriors. Both versions came encased in faceless armor with an iconic, inhuman warbling red eye.
In the reimagined series, Cylon Mecha-Mooks Centurions' facelessness was initially played for laughs when Baltar is trying to preach to one of these chrome domes, and you can't tell if the Centurion is paying attention or just wondering what this crazy human is babbling on about. Later on, it ends up protecting Baltar with its own body when a warhead hits the ship. The series often implies that these voiceless death dealers have a rich internal life once they've been released from the lobotomization imposed upon them by the skinjobs, but we never exactly learn how they view their situation.

The Grineer and Corpus from Warframe have face obscuring masks/helmets. Some Grineer mooks don't wear masks, though, and the Corpus helmets can be shot off, but since the Grineer are all clones and the Corpus have very specific facial markings on their Mooks, the trope is still in play.

The Barrier: Policemen in full raid gear have their faces covered. It works in the protagonist's favor in the finale as Julia's boyfriend has been more or less forced into doing dirty work for the police for most of the series. Because of this, he had no trouble getting his hands on a set and walking around the police headquarter unnoticed during the time for which Julia was trying to free herself and others from the building.

The Dark Knight:
The film opens with a bunch of bank robbers in clown masks, working for the Joker. Over the course of the robbery, they all kill each other, and the last one standing pulls off his mask to reveal that he is the Joker.
Then there's the wonderfully twisted scene at the end, where Batman figures out, not one second too early, that the guys in clown masks with guns duct-taped to their hands are Joker's hostages, and the unmasked guys in doctors' scrubs are Joker's goons.

Marvel Universe:
Hydra, whose members all wear identical green masked outfits. The motto of the group is "Cut off a limb and two more will take its place", referencing the monster that is their namesake and lampshading the fact that these guys aren't individuals.
Other villain groups, A.I.M. and the Secret Empire, take this a step further — they are not only masked but identify themselves only by numbers instead of names (except for Karl).
Parodied in Deadpool volume 4 #23, where the Ultimatum Mooks can't tell each other apart and can't tell if a Mook named Rick had just been killed or not. One suggests a mnemonic system to tell them apart suggesting "Rick" could wear a red beret with an R on it.
The Mooks of The Hellfire Club all wear the same masks with slits in them, but can emote pretty well through them sometimes.◊

The Dark Knight Trilogy:
In Batman Begins, the League of Shadows' McNinjas obscure their faces, though they also ditch the masks when they infiltrate normal society. The masks actually become a plot point during Bruce Wayne and Ducard's duel: both don masks and hide among a throng of similarly-masked mooks.
The Dark Knight:
The film opens with a bunch of bank robbers in clown masks, working for the Joker. Over the course of the robbery, they all kill each other, and the last one standing pulls off his mask to reveal that he is the Joker.

The human enemies of the Guard of Priwen from Vampyr (2018) are all wearing bandanas over their faces, aside from Chaplains which instead wear a solid red full-face mask which is featureless aside from eye slits. It makes perfect sense that these enemies all do this because the game takes place in London in 1918 while the Spanish flu is ravaging the city - they would naturally want to be wearing some sort of mask for their own health and safety.

The music video for Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion smashes together every tired, overdone fascism cliché in the book, but the most prominent is easily the gas mask-like helmets worn by the evil military guys.

Averted for the most part in Fallout. The Super Mutants, the Elite Mooks that you start facing in the second half of the game, have visible faces. The various raiders and gangs you fight also don't conceal their faces. The Brotherhood of Steel have access to Powered Armor that hides their faces, but they're closer to aloof than evil and aren't hostile to you unless you antagonize them.

Fallout 3 sees the return of the Brotherhood of Steel, who are this time much closer to the good guys than in previous installments, and they wear suits of T-45d Powered Armor into battle that cover their faces, but off duty, many of them have no helmets or wear Recon Armor helmets that expose their faces.
The Enclave play this straight with their Mooks and even their scientists. The only Enclave characters who show their faces normally are officers and Colonel Autumn, they're otherwise all faceless.
Downplayed with the raiders you fight, some of them spawn with helmets that cover their faces partly or fully.

While in the West the Seacons were unique individuals, in Masterforce only their leader Turtler (the toy known as Snaptrap in the West) was an individual. Meanwhile, the rest of the Seacons were mindless drones easily dispatched by the Autobots. As knowledge of this spread, this led to Western fans doing the same with the Western releases (helped by the fact that there were no deco changes between the Japanese and Western releases of the toys).

The Nod soldiers in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and more egregiously in Command & Conquer: Renegade.
In Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, a great number of mooks on both sides are wearing some form face concealment; the only exceptions are the GDI Sniper, Nod Fanatics, and Nod Commando. However, this is a fully Justified Trope, as the infectious Tiberium will crystallize you from the inside out with a minimum of exposure. The fact that these units aren't using protection is very strange.

Farscape:
Peacekeeper commandos. So expendable and useless, existing only to be gunned down in waves and make the crew look badass.
Similarly the Charrids. Having established that Scarrans are pretty much Immune to Bullets it was necessary to have them ally with a race that did not share this immunity, thus allowing shootouts to continue.
Lampshaded when, as part of a ploy to start a riot between the Charrids and Kalish, John says that a couple of Charrids were responsible for him and Aeryn accessing an off-limits part of the base. When asked to identify which Charrids, Aeryn and John point out that they do, in fact, all look alike.

Lampshaded by Team Skull whereupon running into two recurring identical male grunts, the player is asked if they remember them. Upon answering yes, one of the Grunts will remark "Even though we look identical? That's kind of impressive, actually!" The likewise is also true, should the player answer no, the two Grunts will wonder if you were confused because they had switched places (Grunt A usually being on the left and Grunt B on the right), making yet another joke about the fact that they are identical.

Fire Nation foot soldiers in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Though this is expressed only by minority firebender soldiers, who sport white, skeleton-like masks for intimidation. Also possibly justified by the fact that firebending probably involves a lot of ashes, grit, burning debris, and other stuff you don't really want to get on your face.
The masks also have the side effect of giving them a Darth Vader-style echoing voice.
Of course that's only when they're outside their homeland where they're friendly public guards.
Also, somewhat most of the Dai Li. Though in some scenes their whole face can be seen, most of the time their faces are hidden under their hat.
The equalists in The Legend of Korra also wear concealing masks, which makes sense considering they're a terrorist organisation recruiting from the general population. Like the Dai Li, they avoid being faceless masses to mow down, functioning more as Elite Mooks. Kuvira's army◊ also favours the face-concealing mask, with the few who aren't masked being mostly named characters like Kuvira herself and Bataar Jr.

Arcane: The Enforcers only wear gas masks when in the Undercity and not topside, as gas from the fissures poisons the air. Thus Enforcers when in the Undercity seem as inhuman and foreign to the audience as to the locals, who in their poverty have to breathe in the air every moment of every day. Narratively important Enforcers don't wear the full face mask and take it off anyways to speak, helping to humanize them.

The Legend of Zelda:
In a The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past the castle guards are enemies due to becoming brainwashed and wear full plate armor concealing their face outside of their eyes glowing from the darkness of their helmet. When the spell is broken at the end of the game, the purified guards have fully visible human faces instead. It's also notable that an unused sprite◊ has a soldier enemy with a partially exposed face with Mind-Control Eyes.
Soldiers return as enemies in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, once again brainwashed to fight Link.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has the Yiga Clan, a sect of Sheikah defectors who are pro-Ganon. While Sheikah ninjas do conceal their identities, their eyes are still visible. Yiga assassins, however, all wear solid white masks decorated with their inverted Sheikah-eye emblem which cover their entire faces. Yiga assassins can be found out of uniform acting like ordinary travelers to catch Link off guard, and it's evident that their ranks are composed of normal men and women. Once they reveal themselves, the Yiga teleport into their faceless uniform and attack. Interestingly, basic Yiga Clan Ninjas teleport away instead of ragdolling and exploding like the monsters, and their leader is killed at the end of his fight by his own mistake, most likely to keep Link from being responsible for killing fellow people. In the DLC, there is another case. The benevolent mummified Sheikah monk Maz Koshia tests you with several quests, but then, when Link reaches him, he animates himself for a duel with Link, something none of the other mummified monks have done. But even though he's asking Link to fight as a test and most other entombed Sheikah monks' faces have been visible, Maz Koshia wears a face cloth with the Sheikah eye over it, obscuring his face completely since he is a human opponent and might be too sympathetic otherwise. (It also ties him closer to Master Kohga, though, and there are deliberate contrasts between the two ninja leaders.)

Inverted with the player characters, who are almost always Super Soldiers with face-covering visors, which the Redshirt Army lacks.
While the Covenant soldiers tend to look identical anyway, several Elite Mook variants in the later games do wear face-concealing helmets.

The majority of mercenaries you fight in Mass Effect are wearing helmets. Only a few will have visible faces. Justified since many of the planets Shepard and crew visits have very hazardous conditions and wearing a pressurized helmet is necessary for survival.
Cerberus Commandos, in Mass Effect 3. They basically look like Stormtroopers, if their armor was more futuristic and realistic looking. There's also a good reason for them to be faceless; it hides the Reaper implants Cerberus gave them.

The Tetragrammaton foot soldiers in Equilibrium are another example of the motorcycle helmet-wearing type, though in this case, it's Christian Bale and not Milla Jovovich that does the hating. Since Equilibrium came out before Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Ultraviolet, it's entirely possible that Bale was the one who got Jovovich started on the trope.
Same writer-director for Equilibrium and Ultraviolet. Thank you Kurt Wimmer.
If you listen to the commentaries, they explain that they did that on purpose because if you shoot a helmet-wearing bad guy, you simply have to show shattered glass flying off, as opposed to blood when the foe is without helmet. That way they prevented a higher-age rating because of the bloodless carnage— which doesn't make sense when you realize that the movie is rated "R" and depicts someone's face being sliced off, but then, "making sense" is never a huge priority in Kurt Wimmer's work.

Fallout:
Averted for the most part in Fallout. The Super Mutants, the Elite Mooks that you start facing in the second half of the game, have visible faces. The various raiders and gangs you fight also don't conceal their faces. The Brotherhood of Steel have access to Powered Armor that hides their faces, but they're closer to aloof than evil and aren't hostile to you unless you antagonize them.
Fallout 2 plays this straight with the Enclave, who are Malevolent Masked Elite Mooks, but otherwise there are no Faceless Goons in the game.
Fallout 3 sees the return of the Brotherhood of Steel, who are this time much closer to the good guys than in previous installments, and they wear suits of T-45d Powered Armor into battle that cover their faces, but off duty, many of them have no helmets or wear Recon Armor helmets that expose their faces.

Downplayed with the raiders you fight, some of them spawn with helmets that cover their faces partly or fully.
Zig-Zagging Trope in Fallout: New Vegas. Caesar's Legion (the morally black faction) fields face-concealed canon fodder Mooks while most NCR troopers and Patrol Rangers (the gray faction) have visible faces. At higher levels with Legion Centurions and Praetorians their faces are visible, while the NCR has face-concealed Veteran Ranger and the Heavy Troopers. Then Caesar's Legion has a masked Legate as their Four-Star Badass Dragon while NCR has General Lee Oliver and Chief Hanlon as high ranking commanders who have their faces visible.
The Ghost People of the Sierra Madre combine Gas Mask Mooks with Zombie Apocalypse. Their hazmat suits protected them from the Cloud long enough that they mutated into something... not quite human.

Kamen Rider:
The Shocker Combatmen in Kamen Rider zig-zag this, as they wear lucha masks that leave their eyes, nose and mouth exposed. The Gel-Shocker Replacement Mooks play this straighter however, as the masks they wear cover up their entire face save for their eyes.
The Destron Combatmen in Kamen Rider V3 wear spooky, skeletal-like masks that cover their entire faces and give them a much more intimidating look than the Shocker combatmen.
Kamen Rider X carries on the tradition by having the GOD Warfare Agents wear black full bodysuits that cover their entire body, including their heads. They also wear goggles over their masks for some reason.

Pokémon Colosseum and XD's Cipher Peons (even Ceiling Peons) wear visored helmets at all times as part of their uniforms. Ironically, they're also the only grunts in the series who all have individual names. That said, if you can see the face of a member of Cipher, rest assured they're at least Admin rank.

Played with in Final Fantasy X-2. The Leblanc Syndicate seems to have an endless number of these, only differentiated by gender-specific uniforms. They're literally called "Goon" or some variant thereof. Goon, She-Goon, Mr. Goon, Ms. Goon, etc. It becomes a plot point later on when the heroines steal a set of uniforms from some female faceless goons and wear them to sneak into Chateau Leblanc.

Journey to Chaos: Soldiers working for Latrot, from the rank-and-file to the prince's personal guards, wear identical uniforms and masks. This gives rise to rumors of them being zombies who had their souls eaten by Prince Lunas. It's also part of Latrot's state religion as Order doesn't believe in individuality. Queen Kasile, at the Mana Mutation Summit, made sure her personal guards all forwent helmets to show diversity.

Plenty of human(oid) enemies in Shovel Knight wear face-concealing headgear that leaves them anonymous, but then again their superiors are hardly different in that department. Even the eponymous Knight in Shining Armor wears a face-concealing helmet.

For some reason, almost every single Russian soldier in Battlefield: Bad Company 2's single-player campaign wears either a mask and goggles or a black balaclava, completely obscuring their faces. The only exceptions are the officers, who wear only a bright red beret, and some of the Elite Mooks near the end of the game. Strangely, though, the South American militiamen don't seem to follow the same rule.

Massive subversions in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, where a faceless, nameless grunt manages to give a Cyber-Newtype piloted Kshatriya a run for its money. His buddies got shot down in about two seconds each, but this guy sure as hell wasn't going down without a fight. Subverted again in Episode 4, where another nameless grunt piloting an outdated Byalant kicks supreme amounts of ass up and down the battlefield.

Mostly averted with Pokémon, where the faces of the various Grunts are clearly visible at all times. There are exceptions, though.
Pokémon Colosseum and XD's Cipher Peons (even Ceiling Peons) wear visored helmets at all times as part of their uniforms. Ironically, they're also the only grunts in the series who all have individual names. That said, if you can see the face of a member of Cipher, rest assured they're at least Admin rank.
The grunts of the new Team Plasma have masks that cover the lower parts of their faces.
Lampshaded by Team Skull whereupon running into two recurring identical male grunts, the player is asked if they remember them. Upon answering yes, one of the Grunts will remark "Even though we look identical? That's kind of impressive, actually!" The likewise is also true, should the player answer no, the two Grunts will wonder if you were confused because they had switched places (Grunt A usually being on the left and Grunt B on the right), making yet another joke about the fact that they are identical.

Happens a lot in Final Fantasy:
Imperial Soldiers in Final Fantasy VI are faceless goons, and in fact are often used for Star Wars references.
SHINRA goons in Final Fantasy VII also have full helmets. The see-the-chin variant is used for every member of SOLDIER except the important ones (such as Zack and Sephiroth).
This is also used as a plot point, as one of the mooks accompanying Cloud and Sephiroth to Nibelheim is actually Cloud, while the Cloud in that flashback was actually Zack.
Final Fantasy VIII makes it a point to have all the Galbadian, Dollet, and Esthar soldiers wear masks or helmets. Two are actually named, recurring characters.
The Archadian soldiers in Final Fantasy XII all wear full armor and face-concealing helmets. The Judge Magisters wear a similar getup, but each has a distinctive, but still concealing helmet.
Cocoonian soldiers serve this function in Final Fantasy XIII.
Played with in Final Fantasy X-2. The Leblanc Syndicate seems to have an endless number of these, only differentiated by gender-specific uniforms. They're literally called "Goon" or some variant thereof. Goon, She-Goon, Mr. Goon, Ms. Goon, etc. It becomes a plot point later on when the heroines steal a set of uniforms from some female faceless goons and wear them to sneak into Chateau Leblanc.

Game of Thrones:
Lannister uniforms include helmets with somewhat impractical folding visors that cover the wearer's face. Seen here◊. This is in marked contrast to the books, where there is no standard uniform for any of the factions beyond a garment bearing some version of your Lord's insignia.
Greyjoy soldiers also cover their faces with wraps underneath their enormous Wehrmacht cast-off helmets.
The men in Ironborn armor who pursue Theon in "Walk of Punishment" are these, except for their leader. They are deliberately making use of this trope by pretending to be Greyjoy soldiers to mess with Theon's mind.
The City Watch of King's Landing (a.k.a. gold cloaks) wear helmets with chainmail over their noses and mouths.
Unlike their book counterparts, the TV Unsullied all wear identical spiked helms with face plates which leave only their eyes exposed and make a rare light-grey morality version under Daenerys' command. Their commander Grey Worm is established as a character the moment he removes his. In Seasons 4 and 5, we do see plenty of Unsullied without their helmets, though.

In Harkovast, The Nameless are a good example of this trope, being an army of warriors who lack not just names but also cannot speak and always have their faces covered by helmets. They are so anonymous that they are the only creatures in Harkovast who cannot be identified with a real-world animal.

Police cars fall victim to this trope disturbingly often, even in films where the police are not portrayed particularly negatively. Supposed "good guys" frequently have no problem smashing up ten or twenty in a high-speed chase. How many policemen do you think were killed or injured in the chase scenes in The Blues Brothers, which were played for laughs?

Super Sentai:

Most troops in Warhammer 40,000 are either alien monsters or wear full-face helmets, but most squad leaders, special characters, and superior officers are modeled bare-headed, to make them stand out more. Yes, men in suits of Powered Armor the size of tanks are running around with their heads completely exposed. Good thing 40k snipers haven't learned to aim for the head.
For the Space Wolves (superhuman space Vikings), the helmets are eschewed because a) it interferes with their heightened senses, and b) having their faces obscured prevents them from claiming bragging rights — it's not enough to just claim that you killed an alien beast with your bare hands during a battle, somebody has to see you do it.
Lampshaded in Traitor General where one of the Chaos Marines gets killed by irate natives giving him a literal face full of poisoned crossbow bolts.
Oddly, the ultimate expendable mooks of the Orks and Imperial Guard don't have full-face helmets or gas masks (well, except certain Guard forces like the Death Korps of Krieg anyway). Guard have entirely visible faces, and Orks (whose willingness to wear any protective gear below mega amour is basically limited to heavily-studded black leather) don't even wear hats, let alone helmets.
Necron Warriors do have faces, but the bulk of them have been killed and reanimated many times over. The process damages the engrams that used to be their organic minds, and thus they are essentially devoid of anything resembling a mind or personality and have little to no individual identity.

The Nyrceffs from Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages are a Space Fighter version of this. Your Voice with an Internet Connection describes them as soldiers who no longer have individuality, they use a CIR symbol for their transmissions instead of a race symbol like other pilots, and they all fly the same model of ship (which contrasts with the huge variety of hulls that the regular CIR military and Extinguishers field).

In UFO (1970), the mystery of the alien invaders (their name and true nature are never revealed) is enhanced by having them always wear spacesuits, with helmets filled with green fluid. Episodes where we're supposed to feel empathy for an individual alien ("Survival", "A Question of Priorities") feature a lot more close-ups.

Doctor Who, of course, employed plenty.
Any alien race made up of Rubber-Forehead Aliens will, due to budget, employ Faceless Goons. Examples include the Sontarans, the newer Silurians, the Judoon, and the Sycorax.
More than any other characters, the Cybermen always have helmets. They are about removing gender, creed, after all. What better way to do that than adding a faceplate in addition to suppressing emotion?
Some of the most typical are the War Lord's goons (presumably of his race) in "The War Games". Mask obscuring most of the face, vaguely Nazi-like, near-100% fatality rate, almost no kills — doesn't get more typical than that.
"The Leisure Hive" features an army of clones with their faces covered in helmets. And again the Doctor hides among them.
"The End of Time": The billionaire antagonist has an army of goons at his disposal, all wearing face-concealing black visors. When the Master assimilates the entire human race into copies of himself he fails to notice the one faceless guard who was slightly too tall (who wasn't assimilated because he isn't human).

In Crysis 2, all C.E.L.L. troopers wear a repurposed flight helmet with breathing apparatus, which completely covers their face. This makes them completely indistinguishable and saves on having to model several different faces for them, in contrast to the North Korean soldiers in the first game.

Blake's 7 has the Federation's always gas-masked troopers, though subverted in some episodes where we see them take the masks off for breaks, or if you the viewer are going to have to remember which one is who. Even alien civilizations seem to have these as the standard sci-fi dystopia package. Given the Economy Cast, it has the added advantage of enabling extras to be reused for other roles.

Star Wars Rebels: Not just the Stormtroopers, but done with the generic Imperial officers as well. Almost all of them have their visors angled in such a way that their eyes are hidden, and they all share the same chin.

In a The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past the castle guards are enemies due to becoming brainwashed and wear full plate armor concealing their face outside of their eyes glowing from the darkness of their helmet. When the spell is broken at the end of the game, the purified guards have fully visible human faces instead. It's also notable that an unused sprite◊ has a soldier enemy with a partially exposed face with Mind-Control Eyes.

Played with in Super Minion. Members of Hellion's Henchmen wear masks, but it's primarily for legal reasons, because doing so allows them to hide their identity and, because of Fortress City's bizarre legal code, it also makes it illegal for police to reveal their civilian identities. They also serve to identify powered minions, which prevents the heroes from having an excuse to use indiscriminate high-powered attacks that might hurt or kill normal minions. And, of course, the story focuses a lot on how diverse and individual the people behind the masks are.

In the reimagined series, Cylon Mecha-Mooks Centurions' facelessness was initially played for laughs when Baltar is trying to preach to one of these chrome domes, and you can't tell if the Centurion is paying attention or just wondering what this crazy human is babbling on about. Later on, it ends up protecting Baltar with its own body when a warhead hits the ship. The series often implies that these voiceless death dealers have a rich internal life once they've been released from the lobotomization imposed upon them by the skinjobs, but we never exactly learn how they view their situation.

The equalists in The Legend of Korra also wear concealing masks, which makes sense considering they're a terrorist organisation recruiting from the general population. Like the Dai Li, they avoid being faceless masses to mow down, functioning more as Elite Mooks. Kuvira's army◊ also favours the face-concealing mask, with the few who aren't masked being mostly named characters like Kuvira herself and Bataar Jr.

Machinemen in Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan and Spotmen in Dai Sentai Goggle Five are both "faceless" for the same reason. They're both Mecha-Mooks who wear masks and full-body uniforms to conceal their machinery.

Jeremiah: The ruthless, well-trained, and heavily armed Valhalla Sector soldiers throughout season one usually wear ski masks or hazmat suits. This may be to hide how at least some of them are too old to have survived the Big Death by normally means and must have a Hidden Elf Village.

SCP: Secret Laboratory uses this trope to differentiate civilian classes (who are tasked with escaping the facility) and military classes (who are tasked with eliminating enemy personnel and rescuing their team's civilians):
On the Foundation side, Scientists wear a pair of glasses, whilst Facility Guards and Mobile Task Force personnel wear balaclavas.
On the Chaos Insurgency side, D-Class Personnel wear a beanie, whilst Chaos Insurgency units wear gas masks.

The Murderbot Diaries: SecUnit Cyborgs are mass-produced by an N.G.O. Superpower as disposable security details and are outfitted in armour with opaque visors. When the title character hacks its Restraining Bolt and starts acting as an individual, some characters are honestly surprised to see it has a face beneath the visor. Murderbot, meanwhile, has social anxiety and misses the anonymity at times.

Several of the gangs in the game Manhunt wear masks that range from a simple nylon over the head to hellaciously creepy smiley faces covered in blood. The only gang that doesn't wear any still hides their features with camouflage face paint. At least until the protagonist makes their heads pop.

In the audio commentary on The Lord of the Rings films, Peter Jackson and company mention that they made the human allies of Sauron, the Haradrim, into faceless goons in ninja-wrap-turbans to de-emphasise their humanity, something they didn't have to do with the slavering, monstrous Orcs that make up the usual mookdom. They also subverted this in the extended edition, when Faramir looks at the body of a fallen Haradrim (with his young, handsome face exposed) and comments on what circumstances would have led him from his home and family to die violently in a foreign country. In the book, this was an internal musing by Sam.
Although, ironically, in the book the dead guy's laying face-down.
Saruman's Uruk-Hai also fit the trope with their identical, face-concealing helmets. In their case, the point was probably the intimidation factor of several thousand identical goons, along with saving some time for the special effects people, as they didn't have to craft unique masks for every actor.

A rather blatant example in Babylon 5. Almost none of the foot soldiers of prominent races wear any kind of face-covering gear. Then on an occasion, an alien invasion force assaults Babylon 5 and their soldiers are all Faceless Mooks. Coincidentally this race is regarded solely as arbitrary conquerors and is never mentioned again after their attack is repelled.
Even more blatant one is that all the Star Fury pilots from Babylon 5 have helmets with transparent visors, but when a pilot attacks civilian targets under an order from President Evil, he has a black visor.
The Shadows are not merely faceless, they are invisible.
The Vorlons, meanwhile, are encased in their protective Encounter Suits because if they are seen outside of them, most of the younger races have been manipulated to see them as holy beings. Of course, the Vorlons are with the good guys at first.

The City of Heroes universe has the soldiers of Arachnos. As an interesting subversion, you can actually make one yourself if you get a villain to level 50. (The page image was of an Arachnos soldier.) Funnily enough, the Arachnos Mook character models are about as likely to be unmasked as otherwise, but as you get further up the chain of command the masks get bigger.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind features plenty of masked Torumekian soldiers, as well as the legions of Heedra in the manga. Subverted in the manga, at least, in that we sometimes see individual Torumekian soldiers without their masks. Then, of course, there are the gas masks required for anyone traveling in the Toxic Jungle, but that's another matter.
