Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were 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 manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

However, he's most notably not able to defeat apes in battle like past versions of the character have been able to. Possibly justified as a combination of RealityEnsues and the fact that he was out of his element for too long.
