Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity/manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

* SocietyMarchesOn: In the early comics, Lothar was essentially Mandrake's manservant/porter/slave, who barely spoke, did menial tasks (and beat up villains on command), and tended to vanish and appear when convenient. (Nevermind the fact that his initial appearance resembled less an actual human being and more ''Black Sambo''.) When this sort of depiction became unacceptable, [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap he developed]] into a proper character with an actual personality and on equal footing with Mandrake.

Lee Falk's (''ComicStrip/ThePhantom'') first comic series, ''Mandrake the Magician'' is his other contender for "first costumed [[{{Superhero}} superhero]] in the comics". It all depends on if you want to count a tuxedo, with top hat and cape no less, as a costume.
Creator/KingFeaturesSyndicate started publishing ''Mandrake'' in 1934. The first story ''The Cobra'' introduced Mandrake's [[BashBrothers bash brother]], Lothar, an African prince who preferred fighting evil to his princely duties. Oh, yeah, Lothar is black. And perhaps the earliest black character portrayed seriously in comics. The second story ''The Hawk'' introduced Narda, who would become Mandrake's romantic interest. After [[ComicBookTime sixty years]] they finally married in 1998.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Mandrake discovers the Yeti creatures in the Himalaya. He finds out they are actually technologically-advanced HumanAliens in disguise who lived for millenia hidden from humans, [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy but secretly influenced their advancement of science]], while also posing as gods to them. Mandrake wants them to interact with the Earthlings further to help them in human progress, but they have to leave to the stars, not bothering to eliminate/brainwash Mandrake because they know nobody would believe him, especially after they destroyed all remnants of their own civilisation behind. Mandrake decides not to say anything about what he learned.
