** However, this is likely just an artifact of it being Wally West under the mask (see under comic books above).

* The most notable hero to have this trope as part of their design is Franchise/{{Batman}}. He has this feature in all other adaptations as well, with the exception of live-action ones and recent video games.

Note: Characters who have this incorporated into the design of their masks when it is off (e.g., Franchise/SpiderMan and the [[Franchise/StarWars Clone Troopers]]) or already have MonochromaticEyes do not count for this trope.

* While Franchise/{{Kirby}} already has MonochromaticEyes, there's a close relative of this trope in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'': when using the Meta Knight sword, Kirby puts said warrior's mask on, which somehow leads to his eyes turning yellow. The mask clearly doesn't do the same for Meta Knight, however, as his eyes remain yellow when he is unmasked.

* ComicBook/TheFlash is an extremely rare subversion -- his eyes have always been drawn normally under that mask, and this has been consistent between the various {{Legacy Character}}s who have taken up the Flash mantle, as well as Wally West's kid sidekicks Jai and Iris. However, Wally had iris-less masked eyes during the period between issues 50 and 130 and would return to this for a while in 2010, just a year before ComicBook/TheNew52. This trope was averted for awhile with Wallys return in ComicBook/DCRebirth, but is now played straight again with his suits from ComicBook/{{The Flash|InfiniteFrontier}} (Infinite Frontier) onwards.

** For most Batfamily members, this is explained by the fact that the cowls contain special lenses for GogglesDoSomethingUnusual purposes. This is a generally accepted fan theory, however, in close-ups we can see that there isn't anything in Batman's eyeholes. Either its artistic expression or it's just the way criminals see him because he's so damn scary. In the Arkham videogames is shown this is how his eyes look when he's using detective vision, suggesting it's a feature that can be turned on and off.

* ''VideoGame/EverybodyEditsFlash'': While smileys usually have BlackBeadEyes, the [[BlatantBurglar Robber]] smiley's eyes instead appear as pure white, distinguishing them from the black DominoMask it's wearing.



** [[Characters/FZero Captain Falcon]]: depending [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros on the]] [[Anime/FZeroGPLegend media]], hints about this trope have been zig-zagging around him for years. The trope is sometimes played straight as the visor has eyeholes, sometimes [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] as the visor has no holes and the "eyes" are just a [[StylishProtectionGear stylized]] [[ExpressiveMask glow]].
