Helmet-Mask Appreciation

AWOL · 02-23-2021, 10:42 AM

From Steel Brigade to Master Chief, the helmet-mask is the coolest accessory. What are some of your favorite ones? This is encompassing all of pop-culture.

Matt Trakker's Spectrum is my favorite mask followed by Hocus Pocus worn by Brad Turner.

I mean a cartoon called M.A.S.K. should have some pretty awesome helmets/masks right?

I don't recall, but was M.A.S.K. a government sanctioned organization?

I think they were recognized by the government, but were a secret kind of underground organization that only fought VENOM. Matt was extremely wealthy and interacted with lots of people in the cartoon, but nobody ever mentioned him being the leader of M.A.S.K. so I'm guessing that meant it was a secret.

I always thought it would be awesome if M.A.S.K., Centurions, Bionic Six, Rambo's Force of Freedom, Chuck Norris' Karate Kommandos were all parts of G.I. Joe. So instead of having Battle Force 2000 you would have Centurions for the futuristic aspect even Bionic 6, Force of Freedom could have been like Night Force, Karate Kommandos like Ninja Force and MASK or even COPS could handle the international and city clean up of evil.

I say, release them all in 1:18 scale.

I think M.A.S.K. was supposed to be like Thunderbirds - a benevolent millionaire's private high-tech "relief organization" dedicated to protecting the innocent and helping those in need.

I had a MASK annual as a kid (that's a UK annual, a hardcover book with activities in and a comic story) and in that MASK was a force that worked for the Peaceful Nations Alliance against VENOM who worked for Contraworld. They seemed to be paramilitary organisations fighting some kind of covert war.

On topic: I like the Mandalorian helmet, the helmet Hit&Run wears, Captain Marvel's collapsible cowl and the Spider-Man mask
