History Main / GasMaskLongcoat

* The Bogeyman in ''VideoGame/SilentHillDownpour''

* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series contain a number of examples - generally of the at least quasi-heroic variety.
** Tycho from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout|1}}'' wears the ensemble as part of his uniform as a Desert Ranger. Due to the graphical limitations of the time his in-game representation is simply one of the handful of standard NPC sprites, but the outfit is described in his flavour text.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Tenth Doctor in "The Poison Sky". He usually wears a BadassLongcoat and wore a gas mask because of the toxic gas being released from the cars.

%% * The Vandenreich's Soldat forces from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.

%% * Shiro Iori from ''Anime/KillLaKill''
%% * Haborym from ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana''

* Shingen Kishitani from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' wears a gas mask at all times while visiting his son to protect him from Tokyo's air quality, even wearing it while showering (it's all but stated he's a CloudCuckooLander). He wears a lab coat, much like his son, Shinra, because of his occupation as a medical doctor. His second wife and Shinra's step-mother, also a doctor, wears a lab coat and a gas mask when she visits, but in a form of GogglesDoNothing, she mostly wears it like a hat rather than a breathing device.
%% * The 3rd diary holder from ''Manga/FutureDiary''.

%% * Haborym from ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana''

* The Sandman, Wesley Dodds, from ''ComicBook/SandmanMysteryTheatre''. Notable in that he also has a hat. Probably the UrExample in fiction, since he's been sporting the look since [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks 1939]]. Justified in that he has a gun that fires KnockoutGas and unlike other CoatHatMask characters with similar weapons, has thought through what happens if he enters the cloud himself.
** Creator/NeilGaiman's [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Sandman]] both homages Dodd's look and is retconned as inspiring him -- though in his case, the "gas mask" is actually the [[DarkerAndEdgier skull and spinal column of a dead god]].
* Partially invoked during the first few arcs of ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan'': Yorick disguises himself with a gas mask and poncho since his main aim is to disguise his male figure and features, rather than look intimidating or cool.
* Dr. Kroenen from ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}''. He is seen wearing a long coat as part of his Nazi uniform once or twice but eventually trades it in for a significantly less awesome apron.

* ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'': Newt wears this outfit when playing his character Corporal Punishment in ''Heroes of Hackleague''.

* Kroenen from ''Film/Hellboy2004'' is dressed in a Nazi uniform, with a black coat and black cap, and a metallic gas mask.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilRetribution''. Umbrella Corporation soldiers, so they can look cool while FastRoping out the back of a tiltrotor gunship.
* Peter Quill in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' is introduced in this outfit when exploring a toxic planet, and since the mask is a CollapsibleHelmet, he's seen in it a few more times throughout the film.
* Bane in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' wears a [[https://www.nolanfans.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/baneposter2-by-sysmatic.jpg variant]].
* ''Film/{{Restoration|1995}}'' features the main character, a Restoration-era doctor, venturing out to tend to plague victims in a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor_costume plague mask and long coat]]. The film won an Oscar for best costume design.

* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. The episode "War Zone" had vampires using these to attack a group of {{Vampire Hunter}}s in daylight, after first flushing them out with smoke grenades.

** It should be noted that ''both'' are based on real-world militaries from the same nation but of different eras. The Death Korps is intended to resemble World War 1 German infantry, whereas the Steel Legion bears more of a resemblance to the later Wehrmacht uniforms. Interesting fact: the original Death Korps models were just Steel Legionaires painted with skulls on their masks. Now only the Grenadiers and Quartermasters wear skulls.
* Standard uniform (along with a Brodie helmet) of the [[DoomTroops Deathwatch]] in ''TabletopGame/UnhallowedMetropolis'', it's also - along with a tophat - the signature look of the [[HunterOfMonsters Undertaker]] class, though many other individuals sport a similar look given future London's pollution problems.

* The First Sons from ''VideoGame/InFamous''. Also crosses over with GasMaskMooks.
* The original design for the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' [[GasMaskMooks Combine Mooks]] featured the civil protection with gas masks and longcoats. The longcoats were cut, gas masks were not.

* [[SerialKiller The Corroder]] from ''VideoGame/ClockTower3'' wears a gas mask and a long brown stained apron that greatly resembles a coat. Justified in that his weapon of choice is a gun that shoots acid.
* He lacked the coat initially, but Kabal from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3'' gained a sleeveless one in ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception Deception]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon Armageddon]]''.
* Silhouette from ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans''

* The Assassin, the main character of ''WebVideo/MadGod'' dresses this way. This is one of the clues that the story is set AfterTheEnd, but really, [[MindScrew it's hard to tell what's going on]].

* The Sandman, Wesley Dodds, from ''ComicBook/SandmanMysteryTheatre''. Notable in that he also has a hat. Probably the UrExample in fiction, since he's been sporting the look since [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks 1939]]. Justified in that he has a gun that fires an InstantSedation gas and unlike other CoatHatMask characters with similar weapons, has thought through what happens if he enters the cloud himself.

* The Sandman, Wesley Dodds, from ''ComicBook/SandmanMysteryTheatre''. Notable in that he also has a hat. Probably the UrExample in fiction, since he's been sporting the look since [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks 1939]].

** At the start of World War I, cavalry was still seen as a viable part of warfare. If a gasmasked soldier is a disturbing image, one riding a gasmasked horse is pure NightmareFuel.

* The [[HeavilyArmoredMook Nazi Storm Elites]] ''and'' the [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Waffen Storm Leaders]] in the final mission of ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorAirborne''.

* More primitive versions can be found in the PlagueDoctor (Wikipedia articles on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor the profession]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor_costume the costume]]), who were employed during the Black Plague. The plague doctor's mask possessed glass eyepieces, and the nose was filled with herbs to ward away 'bad air', which was one of the believed causes of the plague at the time. The doctor then wore long thick outer garments to protect them from their surroundings and carried a cane to interact with things without directly touching them (think that claw thingy the trashman carries). Although there was very little the doctors could actually do for their patients besides taking note of the infected, offer hydration and rest, and instigating quarantines; they were paid relatively handsomely for the risk involved in their jobs. The adopted cleaning of the suits with smoke and use of wax [[RightForTheWrongReasons unwittingly]] offered some degree of protection against the disease carrying fleas that transmitted the plague, whereas medical practice at the time thought foul smells carried the plague.

** By the time of ''New Vegas''' main campaign, the Desert Rangers have been amalgamated into the [[TheFederation the New California Republic]], and their iconic trenchcoat worn over Pre-War riot armor has become the uniform of the [[EliteMook NCR Veteran Rangers]]. Counter to the ominous look, they're the elite force of one the [[BlackAndGrayMorality more or less good]] factions, spreading democracy at gunpoint.

* ''Webcomic/{{Remus}}'' introduces KnifeNut Williams as one. He later drops the gas mask and replaces it with a more generic black balaclava.

* Vlad from ''[[ComicBook/HackSlash Hack / Slash]]''. The gas mask helps his breathing. The coat is to hide he looks like a humanoid lizard.

* Peter Quill of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' is introduced in this outfit when exploring a toxic planet, and since the mask is a CollapsibleHelmet, he's seen in it a few more times throughout the film.
* ComicBook/{{Bane}} in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' wears a [[https://www.nolanfans.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/baneposter2-by-sysmatic.jpg variant.]]

* The War of the Chosen expansion to ''VideoGame/XCOM2'' introduces the Reapers faction, whose units sport this look.

* [[http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/18893944/mysterious-figure-photographed-in-woodland/ The Loyon]], an unidentified person spotted wandering in a Swiss forest, regularly seen for a decade. He wears a gas mask and sometimes a long camouflaged coat. Although the previous link can look like a hoax (it is actually quite exaggerated), the Loyon (gender unknown) really exists (look [[http://www.lematin.ch/faits-divers/Le-Loyon-ne-fait-rire-personne/story/25650014 here]] for an article - in French - from an actual Swiss newspaper).

* ''Webcomic/TheFAN'' has [[http://www.shastrix.com/thefan/index.php?comic=277 Captain Nil]], though it's technically a cape he's wearing.

* In ''[[http://thewretchedoneswebcomic.com/ The Wretched Ones]]'', John plays as his friends' medic in a video game, his avatar having a [[http://www.thewretchedoneswebcomic.com/?comic=page-60a gas mask and long coat]].

* Many soldiers, particularly German ones, in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. Most likely the TropeMaker.[[note]] They weren't called trench coats for nothing as they protected the skin against blister agents.[[/note]]

* ComicBook/{{Bane}} in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' wears a [[https://www.nolanfans.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/baneposter2-by-sysmatic.jpg variant]].

* [[BigBad Zero]] from ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' uses the look. It serves to hide their identity by hiding their voice and concealing their face and protecting them from the knockout gas he uses to kidnap the main characters.
