Meta Knight's getup seems to be more stylised full-body armour than a proper mask. Think we could get a better example over here?

What's precedent ever done for us?

It's definitely a mask. I'd explain why, giving examples, but I am going to bed now.

"Full-body armor" is still a mask when your body is just a head. Anyway, you can see pretty clearly that it doesn't cover his hands or feet or the back of his head.

It's alright, but there are far clearer examples out there. Any one pic would do the job, but I wouldn't mind seeing a four-pic collage with, say, V, Rorschach, The Dread Pirate Roberts, and Judge Dredd.

Hrm - that's purely from films and comics, though they're all good examples. Maybe mix it up with Char or one of his clones?

I like the idea of collages. Just gather the candidates.

Zechs is probably the best choice, Char's mask looks pretty silly 30 years on.

What about V? I've seen people wearing this mask at anime conventions, as well as on 4chan for obvious reasons.

The V mask brings along some extra baggage, due to how its used nowadays.

Doesn't that kind of enhance it? I mean, it was deemed cool enough to be used by a real-life protest movement.

Also, Jason. V, Rorschach, Westley, Jason...

Two Gundam guys are too much. Pick one.

Others... Psycho Mantis? Vega?

Zechs is a good anime option. How's this as a possible multi-media lineup?

Anime: Zechs
Film: V
Comic books: Either Judge Dredd or Rorschach (I lean toward Rorschach)
Western animation: Cobra Commander

EDIT: [down] Crap, I meant Zechs, thanks for catching that.

Zechs instead of Char. Char's mask is not "cool"

Vega might be good for a Video Game example, as long as it's not Zelda.

No, Char is cool, but his mask isn't.

Zechs makes for a better example because his mask is his helmet; with Char, the mask is just a fancy variant on a domino mask that's separate from the helmet.

Why?

I hope it's not just because of the game it's from.

IMO that image is just so over used and just gets passed from trope to trope and IMO its not very cool. ><

Anyways I like the idea of using a collection of images Zechs, the link one and a few others from live action and such.
