{{examples}}
== Multiple Media ==
* [[Big Bad|The Shredder]] in all versions of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', the mask covering the lower part of his face being part of his helmet. He does take it off occassionally.
== Anime and Manga ==
Line 51 ⟶ 54:
*** Char inherited his mask from the character he was inspired by, Prince Sharkin of [[Raideen]].
** Char and his clones tend to be [[Anti-Villain|Anti Villains]], though, with the mask mostly there because [[Rule of Cool|it's cool]] rather than for creepy factor.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has Kagetarou wearing an abstract mask. In addition, several of Fate's minions seem to wear masks.
* The [[Elite Mooks|Knights of Paris]] in ''[[Noir]]''.
Line 118 ⟶ 121:
* Death Eaters in ''[[Harry Potter]]''.
* Scipio from ''The Thief Lord'' by Cornelia Funke wears a Venetian carnival mask.
* ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' is possibly the [[Ur Example]]; he is hideously ugly (born that way in the novel, scarred by acid in the movie) and always wears a mask, usually made of ceramic. In some versions it covers his whole face, in others, only the top half or right half.
* In [[Michael Moorcock|Michael Moorcock's]] Hawkmoon saga, the evil and deranged people of [[The Empire|Granbretan]] wear elaborate animal masks all the time, and would rather be seen naked than unmasked.
* The Watraii in [[Star Trek: Vulcan's Soul]]. At first.
Line 134 ⟶ 137:
* In ''[[FlashForward]]'', [[mook]]s working for the show's big conspiracy wear clown masks.
* ''[[Luther]]'' has Cameron Pell, who commits brutal murders while wearing a Punch mask, in order to create a striking and memorable image as well as hiding his identity.
* Sqweegel on ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]''-not only a mask but a whole body suit.
** ''[[CSI: NY]]'' had an episode with clown masks being used in a bank robbery. An explosion caused an outline of a mask to get seared into one guy's face.
Line 145 ⟶ 148:
* In the ''[[BattleTech]]'' universe, Clan warriors are issued full face animal masks reflecting their Clan's totem to wear for ceremonial purposes. Further, the mercenary known as The Bounty Hunter is also only ever seen masked
* The ''Fiend Folio'', another Monster Manual of the 3.5 edition of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', introduces the Ethergaunts, coldly rational and atheistic aberrations from the Ethereal Plane who are [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]] and also sport featureless masks over their faces... which is fortunate since their faces [[Body Horror|are]] [[Alien Geometries|truly]] [[Brown Note|horrifying]].
* In ''[[Planescape]]'', reeves are brutal mercenaries who always hide their faces behind full-head helmets or veils; they have a racial taboo against showing their faces to anyone, including other reeves.
