This thread will be dedicated to The Mask.

It will be broken down into a few main sections:
I.) Healing factor/durability
II.) 'Ex nihilo' object manifestation
III.) Battles
IV.) Misc./Looney(er) abilities


Please do not spam/troll this thread.

Let's begin!

First off, this is how the Mask itself 'works' (confirmed on a few instances):

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask1.jpg

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask3.jpg

Basically, the mask affects the personality of the wearer by removing all personal social inhibitions.

Section I (healing factor/durability)..


Imo, the Mask's most impressive ability, is his unheard of immunity to any sort of damage..


First and foremost, the Mask is invulnerable (in the true sense):

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_invulnerable1.jpg


======


As you can see, the Mask’s HF is actually quite a bit better than Lobo’s, because he doesn’t have to wait for a body to 'grow' - instead, he is simply... Back to normal *clap-on*:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo17.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo18.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo19.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo20.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo21.jpg

Insane!

Section I, (continued)..


The Mask and Lobo easily survive an explosion at ground zero, which destroyed an entire system:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf25.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf26.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf27.jpg


======


However, as tough as Lobo is he can’t even begin to harm the Mask:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf28.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf29.jpg

(Lobo even confirms how 'tough' the Mask is.)


======


Even if the Mask is vaporized, he can not only exist as a 'ghost', just for fun - but he can also go back to 'normal' whenever he decides to:

Section I, (continued)..


Even complete decapitation doesn’t affect him in the slightest:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf10.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf11.jpg

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf20.jpg


======


Here, the Mask survives different magnitudes of explosions, with no ill-effect:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf24.jpg

Section I, (continued)..



Here’s some instances of the Mask shrugging off gunshots:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf23.jpg

Section I, (continued)..


Survives swords to the chest:

======


In one panel Mask has all of his limbs ripped off, then in the next battle *poof*, they’re all there again:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf18.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_hf19.jpg

Poison does nothing, either:

Section II, ('Ex nihilo' object manifestation)..


Another uncanny ability the Mask has is that he can "*poof*" into existence, anything he wants/needs…


Such as, very powerful bombs..


A 50 Megaton bomb in this case:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_createbomb7.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_createbomb8.jpg

Section III, (battles)..


The next section will feature some of the Mask’s 'battles'…


The Mask takes on 'The Main Man' himself (aka. Lobo.)

Due to the Mask's cartoon-like abilities, he is seemingly equal to Lobo. In fact, I'd give the overall edge to the Mask, due mainly to the final few pages of the battle (which were previously highlighted in this thread):

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo1.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo2.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo3.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo4.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo5.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo6.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo7.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_ownlobo8.jpg

(End of Mask/Lobo fight.)

Section III, (continued):


A powerful voodoo priest thought he could beat the Mask with his black magic:

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo1.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo2.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo3.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo4.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo5.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo6.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss188/galan007pix/th_mask_voodoo7.jpg

As you can see, the Mask was simply toying with him the whole time..

Section III, (continued):


Owns an alien murderer by eating it…. Literally:

Section IV, Misc./Looney(er) abilities


Other than the ridiculously insane feats above, here’s some other odds and ends the Mask is capable of..


The Mask can apparently time travel:

The Mask can also be quite fast when he wants to..


Circles the earth several times in an instant:

Nice thread, but is The Mask/Lobo crossover canon?

I'd say so. The Mask made references to thing's he'd done in past issues.

Great thread! The Mask needs more respect!
