Probably the most iconic and distinctive form of a Good Scar, this scar consists of two clean, intersecting cuts that form a cross or X on the hero's face. Generally, it serves to imply that the hero has been through quite a few skirmishes while making them look badass. How the hero got such a scar is usually not explained. Part of our brain tells us that getting such a scar in battle is highly unlikely, if not impossible, unless they're deliberately inflicted, such as in torture. Another common possibility, rarely addressed, is that the two scars which form the X had been inflicted in different instances. Don't confuse with "X" Marks the Spot, which is the phrase this trope was named after. |

While not the main character (just his boss), Saki Vashtal of Area 88 has an X scar on his forehead. In the manga, it's revealed to be self-inflicted after a disastrous attempt to make peace. | |

Fire Emblem: Ogma, a mercenary in the service of Princess Caeda of Talys, from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, also has one on his cheek. It seems to be popular with the mercenaries. Dieck from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade has one on his shoulder. Tibarn, the king of the Hawk tribe laguz from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, has a large one where the horizontal cut extends across his nose and onto his other cheek. The trend continues with the villager Donnel in Fire Emblem: Awakening, who has his on his cheek. A variation appears with post-Time Skip Dimitri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, whose armor has a blue "X" carved into his breastplate. This only applies in the Azure Moon storyline, however: in other stories, he's an Ax-Crazy mass murderer. |

Tsukune Aono from Rosario + Vampire has a huge one on his chest, among several smaller scars. Got it from a random Mook, but it also marks the first time he released his ghoul powers without Moka's aid. Incidentally, said Mook is a graffiti artist, so the X-cut might have been a deliberate stylistic choice. | |

Dragon Ball: Yamcha has one starting with the Piccolo Jr. arc. Goku's father, Bardock, also had one of these. While he can't exactly be called a good guy, he was the closest thing there was to an actually heroic Saiyan at the time. The rebooted version of Broly has one on the left side of his chest. |

Oscar, a sniper from Valkyria Chronicles, sports one of these on the left side of his forehead. He acquired it when he protected his brother in an unexplained incident from when they were children. Musaad, a scout, also sports a similar one in the same place. His scar likely came from his involvement in the previous war in the backstory of the game, him being a famous war veteran and all. | |

Final Fantasy XV: In a "two separate wounds" example, Gladiolus Amicitia starts the game with a vertical scar along the left side of his face. He separates from the party for a chapter, and when he gets back, he's received another, horizontal cut across his forehead. Episode Gladiolus shows that the latter cut was received in his duel with the Blademaster during the final battle of the DLC; dialogue at the end of the episode reveals the former cut was received defending Noctis from a bully prior to the events of the game. | |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pyra implants an X-shaped fragment of her core crystal into Rex's chest to patch a stab wound he took from Jin, giving Rex a glowing X over his heart for most of the game and a matching hole in Pyra's core. At the end of the game, Pyra and Mythra's combined form takes the fragment in Rex's chest back so that he won't die with Pneuma after her planned Heroic Sacrifice, and so that the restored core crystal can be used to bring back Pyra and Mythra a little later. | |

One Piece: While Vice-Admiral Doberman is a villainous character, he stands out for having no less than six X-shaped scars scattered across his face and neck. Coby also got one above his right eye at some point while training with Garp. It helps show that he Took a Level in Badass. Anti-hero X Drake has one on his chin. Laboon, a whale, is covered in x-shaped scars from his attempts to destroy Reverse Mountain by bashing it with his head. After the Time Skip, Luffy also has a huge X shaped scar on his chest. He got it from Admiral Akainu during the war at Marineford. If you check him out while Jimbei is carrying him, you can see it's still fresh. |

Skullgirls: Painwheel's mask usually hides these scars, but in instances where we see her without it, you can see that the areas where the mask was stitched on to her face have caused a large X-shaped mark to form across her face. Leduc bears two X-shaped scars, visible in one of his talksprites in Big Band's storymode. They're situated on his lower cheeks on either side of his mouth, making them sort of similar to a Glasgow Grin. Amusingly, Isaac appears to have one of these in his hair. |

Aqua Regia: Has the protagonist, having an X-shaped scar that he hides with his long hair, in Chapter 7 it's revealed that he got it at the end of his conscript year, because a friend and mentor of his was about to be raped due the fact he was homosexual, something that's sadly Truth in Television. Daniel jumped at the guys and saved him, but he ended up tortured instead. Months later, his then girlfriend tells him that he should be proud of that scar, because even if he got disfigured, he did the right thing. | |

The bosses in Splatoon all have this, though it is in a Hero of Another Story sense. While desiring revenge for losing the Great Turf War a century prior to the events of the first game, the military campaigns that reignited the conflict are also motivated by perceived necessity: after living underground for decades, the Octarians are running out of power and are at risk of dying out, while the Inklings arguably have an overabundance of energy. | |

Hanna has an X-shaped scar, but it's not on his face, it's on the sole of his foot. (He might have one on each foot, it's hard to tell.) X shapes are a motif of the comic in general and Hanna in particular; it's anyone's guess how much of it is related to Hanna's Mysterious Past and how much is just because Tessa likes to draw cross shapes. | |

Two of the protagonists in Live A Live have x-shaped scars on their cheek; Mecha Chapter protagonist Akira Tadokoro and partymember/possible protagonist provided she survives Lei Kugo. Akira's is easily seen in what official art of the game exists, but Li's only gets seen if she's selected as the main character for the final chapter, in which case the player will be treated to a shot of her face after the credits. | |

Domon Kasshu from Mobile Fighter G Gundam has such a scar, the origins of which are mostly unexplained. It's a quick indicator of his ten-year Training from Hell. A gag manga "reveals" that it's actually marker that Master Asia drew on his face as punishment for messing up during said training, and he messed up so often that it became permanent. | |

We later learn that he's been slowly turning into yet another Xehanort host for some time, and Xehanort's obsession with that letter involves using it to brand his "property". This raises some worrying questions about how he got that scar... | |
