Before Jack Coleman came along on Heroes, I, like many others, had no idea what horn-rimmed glasses were. To be honest, I still don't. What I do know is that Coleman and the show have created a character so uniquely identified with a single fashion decision that the character is named after it.

The nerdy glasses are the perfect choice because they only serve to make his bad-ass nature more terrifying. Even without powers, I'd pick HRG to win in a fight against any other character on the show, and the glasses are a big part of it. They make him look like a normal guy, and when an average person snaps, it's a lot more troubling than if someone who looks like a thug tries to rob you. You expect that from them, but with HRG, the glasses lower your expectations for the man behind them, making him more lethal.
