The way Thaedus ripped off the beard with so much passion and confidence was too funny, I was imagining that it would be a slow, dramatic reveal.

I always thought it was a fake beard on glue, not ACTUAL beard

This is the way I thought it was too. My head cannon was it was glued on, could be same for the show. But iirc all male vultures have mustaches, so maybe they’re incapable of growing a beard and that’s why it was a good disguise for Thaedus.

Nolan has grown a beard twice now.

You’re 100% right. Idk how I skipped over that. Guess mustaches are just popular for the them

It's a cultural tradition, practically mandatory for adult male Viltrumites.

Is that gone over specifically in the comics? I only read the main story

Yeah I remember Mark saying something about not wanting to continue the Viltrumite tradition of growing a mustache in the comics. It's not something that's ever fully explained and is just mentioned.
