Which characters who originally had their face hidden that later was revealed to the audience, were you most excited about when it happened?

Fire Lord Ozai (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - first one that comes to mind, though his face was shown in pubbet form in The Deserter not to mention thoughout the first two seasons bits and peaces were shown (if you put them together, you can see his face), and his whole face was shown in long shots,. I was excited when they finally revealed his face in full form in a closeup shot, though I wish they build it up better.

Giovanni (Pokemon) - not only was his face hidden, but so was his real voice. Just like Ozai, I wanted to see the guy that scares Team Rocket.

Diane Thurston (Eureka 7) - I wanted to know why they hide her face, and I was anguish waiting to see how she looks like. First time we saw her was in a black and white flashback. Later we saw her in present day color.

The Huntsman (American Dragon: Jake Long) - I don't know if he counts, because they never hide his face, he just had a mask on. In one season 1 episode, there was a scene when he was unmask, but they only showed his feet. Finally we saw his face in Homecoming and was worth the wait if you saw what he looked like.

Sector V's parents (Codename: Kids Next Door) - these are many characters, most of the time when we first meet a parent of one of the main characters in their debut episode their face was hidden, and in a later episode we saw what they looked like. With some exception such as Numbuh 5's parents, whose faces were never shown
 
It counts because his face was never shown until the end.The first season he was more Darth Vader-looking from behind,in the 2nd season it is revealed he is more human-looking.
 
Let's not forget Dr. Claw, whose face wasn't even revealed until 1993, when an action figure was released, as well as a Video Game featuring a heavily pixilated Claw as the final boss. Not quite what I was expecting, but I guess it could have been worse.
 
Let me remind you of the topic, characters who's face were eventully revealed. We are not discuessing characters whose faces were never shown.

Not that any of the replies so far is guilty of that, just a friendly reminder.
 
Well, I thought it was of note since, while the character was not unveiled in the show, he was unveiled outside of the show. Clearly an odd move on the part of DIC.
 
I was not really referring to you. Of course it counts, so I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

Anyway earlier I mention Codename: Kids Next Door, how could I forget this character.

Father (Codename: Kids Next Door) - I was excited when we finally saw his face, but I was disappointed with what I saw. I was expecting him to look a whole lot more scarier. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, it was a funny joke, the man was overcompensating.
 
I bet right now, she-who-must-not-be-NAMEd of the AmDrag community, is smiling eright now, since someone finally mentioned her "cuddly Huntsy" in a positive light, even if she can't read it.
 
This is was a hard thread to name. I wanted it to keep short and simple. "Favorite of character faces that were previously hidden" that would be to long.

But most of the time it is villains that come under this category. Most of the non villain characters whose faces are not seen, stay un seen for ever. Of course baring a few exception.

The first episodes of Fairly Odd Parents I ever saw were the regular episodes in which Mr. and Mrs. Turner's faces were shown. When I saw the early Oh Yeah Cartoons episode when their faces were hidden, it felt funny, because I knew what they looked like.
 
As much as I hated that show, Cow and Chicken pulled off a neat twist on the gag when they revealed that their parents simply didn't exist from the waist up.
 
The so-called-"Splinter Cell" members of the KND watching Numbuh One from the shadows complete with Giovanni-esque voice alteration for several episodes revealing themselves to be Numbuh Infinity and Numbuh 74.329.
 
Naraku is a pretty good example of this when he was first introduced, under his guise of baboon skin. The empty-dead look on the baboon's face provided a fitting visual to associate him with until his true form could be revealed.
 
Funny story about that: before Hawkgirl removed her helmet in "Wild Cards", I didn't know it was a helmet; I thought that was actually what her head looked like! (I never knew much about Hawkman/Hawkgirl before doing the research.)
