The cancelled Superman film project, Superman Lives, would have depicted Superman with a mullet. He was a tall straight man, the hair of his head black, long behind, only short before, none on his face at all …Īfter the much-publicized 1992 DC Comics storyline in which Superman apparently died, the character returned to the 1993 follow-up storyline " Reign of the Supermen", in which he was depicted with a mullet. In Mourt's Relation, author Edward Winslow described the Plymouth pilgrims' first encounter with the Native Americans, Samoset of the Abenaki in 1621: Researcher Alan Henderson describes the ancient hairstyle as useful, as it kept the hair out of the eyes, yet provided warmth and protection for the neck. This non-Roman style was termed the 'Hunnic' look. In the sixth century, Byzantine scholar Procopius wrote that some factions of young males wore their hair long at the back and cut it short over the forehead. Fashion history Mullets in antiquity Ī metal figurine, dated back to the 1st-century AD and found during 2018 preparations for a new car park at the Wimpole Estate, England, was hypothesised by archaeologists to indicate that natives in ancient Britain during the Roman occupation could have worn their hair similarly to mullets. In 2022 press interviews marking the 35th anniversary of the film, Sutherland again recounted the story.
He also confirmed part of the inspiration for his hairstyle came from Billy Idol. In 2019, Kiefer Sutherland was widely reported, based on an interview with Yahoo!, to be the unwitting instigator of the style due to the director's requirements for his lead role in the 1987 film The Lost Boys. Decoder Ring discovered that the magazine image had been faked in a 2018 apology posted to imgur, the creator had admitted to faking the text, adjusting the magazine dates, and shown proof. On Slate's Decoder Ring podcast, Willa Paskin discussed the etymology of the term, noting that Oxford English Dictionary credited the Australian Street Machine automotive magazine with the first published description of the term in 1992, predating Beastie Boys. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, use of the term mullet to describe this hairstyle was "apparently coined, and certainly popularized, by American hip-hop group the Beastie Boys", who used "mullet" and "mullet head" as epithets in their 1994 song "Mullet Head", combining it with a description of the haircut: " number one on the side and don't touch the back, number six on the top and don't cut it wack, Jack." They expounded on the subject at length in a six-page article entitled "Mulling Over The Mullet" in Issue 2 (1995) of their magazine Grand Royal, offering a selection of alternative names for the cut, including "Hockey Player Haircut" and "Soccer Rocker".
