Malevolent Masked Men: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', quite a few of Cobra's leaders wear masks, including [[The Dragon|Destro]], Wild Weasel, Scrap Iron, Storm Shadow, and Firefly. [[Big Bad|Cobra Commander]] himself has two masks, one [[Cool Helmet| a helmet that covers his entire face]], and another made of cloth (the first for combat, the second for other situations); he'd later adopt a third, even cooler one that was included with [[Powered Armor]]. [[Word of God]] claims one reason for designing the Baroness was to have a villain who could show her - admittedly lovely - face and still look intimidating.

* [[Doctor Doom]]; when his face was scarred from a failed experiment early in his career, his pride and arrogance compelled him to craft the mask along with his armor, to conceal a face that was, in his eyes, no longer flawless. Scott Lang has claimed that Doom's true reason for the mask (and the rest of the armor) is to pretend that he can alienate himself from humanity because of his scars, but it's really the scars upon his very soul that sets him apart.

 

* ''[[Star Wars]]'' has Darth Vader, Darth Maul, General Grievous, and the Stormtroopers. The Jawas aren't that evil, but they probably count.

* The ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' series gives us the Ghostface killer, who can occasionally be a Malevolent Masked Woman.
