Steel City, [[UsefulNotes/TheModernAgeOfComicBooks present day]]. Jack King gets a new job as a superintendent of "the Brick", an old residential building, and while cleaning up his basement flat discovers the hidden lair and belongings of a long lost super hero from the 1940's/50's. Pretty cool, huh? Obviously he'll [[TakingUpTheMantle take up the mantle]] and... what do you mean, [[SubvertedTrope sell the hero's journals to the highest bidder online]]?

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