Stare #1
Head down, chin tucked, gazing levelly up past eyebrows at target (usually archenemy).

Advantage: it's just creepy and unnerving. Best example of this is "Evangelion's" Gendo Ikari. Refer back to his own page for an analysis.

Disadvantage: If not held confidently and levelly, this stare can look frightened. Try a smirk, and the rest of your face will fall into line. Once perfected with the smirk, try it without for more serious moments. Be careful not to look too aggressive as this may insight irrational attacks from your quarry, and if you're not ready then you're in deep doo-doo.

Stare #2
Head up, possibly with chin thrust forward, gazing down length of nose (usually at archenemy).

Advantage: gives the impression that you're bigger than life, looking down on the peons around you (get used to this type of thinking! If necessary refer to The Attitude once again), like you have to make a special effort to focus on something so insignificant as what is in front of you.

Disadvantage: Brother, if you're short, you're out of luck. No way to look down your nose at something above you, sorry. Let's say about 5'5" is the cutoff height for this stare. Also, if you have a snub nose or ski-jump nose it might look ridiculous. Try it if you have a straight, long, or particularly Roman nose. Refer to the "Dragonball Z" Piccolo page for this particular stare.

Stare #3
Straight on, lids half lowered, one eyebrow raised (at archenemy). Note: best achieved with casual stance, arms crossed or seated comfortably with legs crossed. Feel free to yawn at strategic moments.

Advantage: takes the wind out of your opponent's sails, makes him/her look unimportant and irrelevant.

Disadvantage: if done wrong you can end up looking sleepy, not bored. Also, if you're not good at raising one eyebrow don't try this. If you end up with both eyebrows raised you'll get that "Paul McCartney Singing At The Piano" look on your face. Not intimidating, although definitely scary. I imagine "The Tick's" Chairface Chippendale using this expression, of course noting the fact that he doesn't actually have a face. If he did have a face he would use this stare. A better example would be Megabyte from "Reboot." Definitely a dismissive expression.
