White Hat
Appearances 179

White Hat is a stick figure character in XKCD. He is distinguished by his eponymous white hat which appears to be in the shape and style of a boater. He has a similar appearance to Black Hat other than the color of their respective hats. However, he is far less often depicted.

Characteristics

The hat and name were not originally a reference to Black hat hacking, but to the now defunct webcomic, Men in Hats. However, the character has evolved to have very similar motivation, hatching evil schemes often for no reason other than to cause chaos or go against the societal norms.

When he was first introduced, Black Hat's hat was taller and more in the style of a top hat. The design was refined in his next several appearances to the flat hat he currently sports.
