80s toy line and tie-in cartoon Visionaries has essentially faded into the dustbowl of history - holograms weren't a good enough gimmick to last, unfortunately. But if we take a look back at the franchise, we'll discover that it boasted a wizard with a truly epic beard. The mighty Merklynn was the guiding force behind the Visionaries, granting both the good and bad guys their animal totem powers. Why exactly he did that has yet to be determined. His is truly one of the best wizard beards - flowing, white tendrils of hair that flare dramatically during spellcasting.
