Trope is "character is never seen without some sort of headwear". Picture posted here for your convenience. Captain is "It's a matter of life and death." I have no idea who this person is nor what the caption refers to.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

Pretty much any instance of this that isn't a lampshade is going to be JAFAAC...I'm good to pull it.

Appropriate, but I find the cat distracting from the trope.

Think it would work if we could crop right above the cat?

hard to see?

Yeah, looks like a headband.

I think it would look odd if cropped above the cat.

I like @5. Will probably need a caption to point the headband out.

I think @3 is better. The cat is not so distracting that it completely overshadows the other aspects of the image.

I was going to suggest a screenshot from Raidou Kuzunoha, but the image is better.

My suggestion, though I don't have the skills to pull it off, would be a montage of pictures of John Price across several games, always wearing his hat (if I well recall, Captain Price is only bareheaded in one cutscene in his entire screentime).

EDIT: Closest I could find

Not sure I'd say a rendered video game character shows the trope as much, since it takes more effort to change something than to keep it the same, and in all of those the hat looks like it's part of the uniform.

Now that I think about it, Beetle Bailey is the perfect route to go, as he's never seen without headgear of some sort. Unfortunately, all the good images I'm finding are watermarked.

There is one comic with him without some kind of headgear. It's also the point of the joke in that one. I think Sarge was curious about it.

But yeah, he'd be great, since there are pics of him in civilian outfits and still some kind of hat.

Would the first panel of either this or this work on its own?

#3 has too many distracting outside elements. The Beetle Bailey one is perfect.

Ah, fine. 17 illustrates the trope well enough, that even though I'm not fond of the artstyle, I'd give it a [tup].

I give my blessing for 17 as well.

And for good measure, I also support 17.
