History
Hey hey hey, Jacks and Janes of the in-ter-net! It's time that le Masque explains la Máscara's sssssssmokin' hot origin story!
It all began when some sad and pathetic loser called Stanley Ipkiss bought a certain totally-not-bizarre-looking mask from a store. Said mask was either used for some old tribal ritual in Africa or made by the Norse god Loki himself, but who knows at this point. Anyways, when he put on the mask, Stanley transformed into me, THE Mask. The media also goes with "Big Head" sometimes, but "The Mask" has a nicer ring to it if you ask me.
So then, Stanley, aka ME, aka I, went on a murder spree, and boy was it a great one! Ya see, I sorta work on cartoon logic, but nobody else does, resulting in some hiiiiilarious rated R Looney Tunes moments. I really bring out the best in people. And the worst. I guess that's why Ipkiss f***ing died in my comics. Sorry for the spoiler.
But who cares about Ipkiss, when I've got tons of hosts and a pretty good movie, a decent cartoon, and an absolute abomination of a sequel that also tell my tale but without all the gore. When's my gritty reboot coming along? I’m lookin' your way, Amazon.

Notes
- ↑ The Mask's analysis primarily makes note of its time possessing Stanley Ipkiss, the original host of The Mask in the comics and most adaptations. However, as the analysis is on The Mask itself rather than Stanley, which has had numerous other hosts over the years, the exact identity of the host used is unknown.
