Redheaded Hero

Some Heroes Want Redheads. Some heroes are redheads.

Why Red? Consider how, of all hair colors, red is the least common. It’s not surprising that it’s used when writers want someone to stand out, at least in shows that don't give random extras unusual shades of hair.

While heroes tend to have bright-colored hair (almost reddish-blond), villains have darker-colored, almost brownish hair. Red is second only to blonde hair for a hero (see Law of Chromatic Superiority).

• Odysseus from The Iliad and The Odyssey had hair described as "crisping red-golden".
  • Menelaus had "red-haired king" among his epithets. Which is odd, because his name, Menelaus Xanthus, means "Menelaus the Blond". Apparently, scholars never met any blond Greeks (they do exist). But something strange was going on originally because "Xanthus" also referred to slaves (foreigners, mostly). There's something metatextual going on there.
• The storm god Thor, before Marvel Comics made him blond.
• In some versions of the Trojan War Achilles has red hair to denote his temper and badassery, matching his common epithet as "blazing Achilles".

  • Achilles himself, when he hid out in king Lycomedes' palace disguised as a girl (and, in the process, fathered Pyrrhos with Lycomedes' daughter Deidameia), called himself Pyrrha. Some think that Neoptolemos' alternative name may have been derived from his father's alias (he only got his name Neoptolemos, "young warrior," when he joined the Greek army before Troy).
