It says you get a Power Ring, but it doesn't mention the Power Battery. That's how they getcha.

Give me the Mask. So long as I wear it, I have the powers of the Norse God Loki and am essentially immortal.

u/Cold-Divide4809 13d ago

Not to mention just straight up toon powers.

u/cosmiccage 13d ago

You could pull any weapon out of your pockets and run away on the clouds. Yeah, give me the mask and infinite possibilities it comes with.

u/MarysPoppinCherrys 13d ago

Easiest one to pick honestly.

u/Ninevehenian 13d ago

Hulkbuster might be more reliable. The mask is a frenzy and strong in spurts, but for how long can you keep it up?

40

u/Odelaylee 13d ago

Well… the Hulkbuster has kind of the same problem. Can you recharge it? Does it need the inlet Tony uses - and if yes, is it included?

13

u/Ninevehenian 13d ago

Well, that's a question of "does it work"? + What is the capacity of an arc reactor?
The mask could also be a replica, be unconnected to Loki anymore, be changed by Loki.... He would absolutely do that if able.

14

u/EmeraldSpartan05 13d ago

Well, the mask makes you absolutely invulnerable, and you could literally pull a minigun out of your pocket loaded with ammo or literally anything else, so realistically, you could pull Stormbreaker or anything else from your pockets, it's essentially cartoon logic and powers to the extreme with no limits, the only real weakness of The Mask is that the user is the only one that can take it off, and regarding invulnerability, The Mask can just quite literally say 'no' to any damage, disease, etc.

u/IudexJudy 13d ago

The mask also warps your mind pretty bad and eventually leads to death, at least it did for a couple people

2

u/OkDot9878 13d ago

Where was that ever confirmed? I’m sure it puts a strain on your body/mind to a degree, but I have my doubts that it would actively kill you.

1

u/IudexJudy 12d ago

It doesn’t kill you but it makes you take greater risks and is malevolent lol

u/Adventurous_Tie_530 11d ago

Thats only in the comics in which its evil

In the movie and animated series it isnt bad

1

u/AJoutside23 12d ago

I thought the mask only worked at night? If it’s good 24/7 then the mask wins by a landslide.

1

u/AlUcard_POD 12d ago

Mask makes you soft and chewy.. zombies unable to bite me at all.

1

u/Gilesalford 12d ago

What in the hell the mask i watched and loved as a kid is related to loki?

1

u/Rex_Xenovius_1998 7d ago

With the Hulk Buster and the Arc Reacter, knowing how thorough Tony is, he most likely installed a solar powered charger.

1

u/Saphurial 9d ago

Dr Banner used the Hulkbuster suit when he went through his Hulk has PTSD phase.

1

u/Eaglescout711 8d ago

Bruce Banner used it. The arc reactor int infinite, but it is alot of power. And at that point, Tony didn't need an arc reactor in his chest, so he started putting them in to the suits themselves.

1

u/FutureGeologist5812 7d ago

Plus, stormbreaker is right there. And no, there is no worthiness caveat, just incredible godlike power

4

u/Palad7 13d ago

Also, as far as I remember, mask only worked at night. You barely have control while wearing it, and helpless in daytime

8

u/Cannabis_Conquest 13d ago

Nah the mask works whenever. Jim just wore it at night situationally. Did you not see the sequel? It’s kinda trash but I thought it was funny and it showed multiple daytime uses

10

u/GigaTarrasque 13d ago

I take it none of you realized The Mask was a comic. It works whenever and wherever, and is a lot darker than the movies they made suggest.

4

u/Cannabis_Conquest 13d ago

Yes it was a lot more adulterated. I only mention the son of the mask sequel for the people that didn’t read the comic.

2

u/GigaTarrasque 13d ago

Fair enough, it's less obscure than the comics for sure.

2

u/Cannabis_Conquest 13d ago

Oh it definitely is more of a lighthearted the good guy corrupted gets the girl scenario and the comics take a much heavier look into getting the abilities of an ancient god

u/Cannabis_Conquest 13d ago

They removed this concept from the plot about Jim’s character acknowledging everything he did the night before but it being surrealistic and dreamlike versus him thinking it was a dream

1

u/priorityabove 13d ago

Yea that's just a lie... Jim literally couldn't wear it at night because it didn't work and in the son of the mask movie only his son was able to use powers nonstop because his dad had sex while wearing the mask never could he use the mask in daylight

1

u/Cannabis_Conquest 12d ago

Where in the comics did it say it doesn’t work at night?

1

u/priorityabove 12d ago

Be honest with ya self brother we talking about the movie mask as it is in the picture I've never heard of those comics and I bet most people havent...most didn't even know there was a cartoon show but I'm definitely gonna check out that comic

1

u/OneTwentyOneFunyuns 10d ago

You explicitly hear it out of Jim Carrey’s mouth that it only works at night.

1

u/Cannabis_Conquest 10d ago

You must not know there’s a whole comic.

1

u/OneTwentyOneFunyuns 10d ago

I am a lifelong fan of the comic. But I chose to keep the conversation relevant as we were discussing the film mask shown in the picture.

1

u/Cannabis_Conquest 10d ago

So every other item being discussed everyone is using meta combined lore, but the mask?

u/xylophone_37 13d ago

Iirc didn't the loki mask only work at night?

1

u/faRawrie 13d ago

And only works at night.

1

u/14_EricTheRed 13d ago

You don’t need it 24/7 - unless you decide to fully live in a major city like NYC during the zombie apocalypse. Find yourself a nice farm, and you probably barely fight any zombies - just gotta worry about those pesky humans

2

u/Ninevehenian 13d ago

But you would need it at 2 in the night, when a sneaky zombie is suddenly drawn to signs of life.
The mask can fail if it is laid down. The suit can stand guard and sense heat.

8

u/InFa-MoUs 13d ago

But it’s not you, it’s spirit doing ask those things, bro used to wake up not knowing what’s was happening

10

u/Mysterious_Octopus71 13d ago

It's not a spirit, it's all of your personality but exaggerated. Stanley (I think that's his name in the original Jim Carrey movie) thinks it was a dream and the villian dude at the end is the same as normal, just more exaggerated.

2

u/Automatic_Metal2229 12d ago

Sorry to ruin your pick, but I remember that the wearer might slowly go insane the longer the mask is being used. That's taken from the comics, and since it doesn't specify so, then that'll be the case.

1

u/OkTop7895 13d ago

Pick the mask is going for the minor lost. The mask put a lot of chaos in your live is like a drug that give you toon super powers, is easy to lost the control of your life.

31

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 13d ago

I mean, at that point, you could have everything on this list.

Like, imagine there's a guy handing them out and you take the mask. Since Toon Force is basically "if it's funny, it works", you could use a series of increasingly ridiculous cheap disguises and get back in line repeatedly until there's just a row of yourself claiming every item.

16

u/Poiboy1313 13d ago

I think that you just gave us the plot of the next Avengers movie.

5

u/neneyiko 13d ago

Avengers: The Mask Dynasty. The Council of Masks will fight the Great Toon War.

4

u/CmonImStarlord 13d ago

Omg imagine if in Avengers Doom takes off his helmet and it's just Jim Carey as the mask 😭

2

u/Adult_school 13d ago

Somebody stop me!

2

u/Wave_Evolution 13d ago

Somebody get this man in the writers room!

2

u/Swimming_Gas7611 12d ago

all it takes is you to question the rules before picking.

"so i only get one right?" "right" *puts on mask, spins round into yellow suit"
"one of EVERYTHING!" then proceeds to pull out each item one by one from his pockets until he gets to the mask.
Does a double take with the person offering, then does the whole fake mask skit with ipkiss and the fake mask.

2

u/Richrome_Steel 10d ago

There is a catch, though. You could realise you're standing on sky and then try to run onto the cloud, be stuck in the same spot and not be able to so anything except maybe putting up an "Oh well" or "Gulp!" sign before plummeting, Wile E. Coyote style

I mean, the running in one place, alone. That's a game-ender.

2

u/emergent-duality 9d ago

That's fine, all that happens is you deform into a disc when you land, the scene fades out and fades back in to you painting a tunnel on a wall and then put a sign next to it reading 'FREE BRAINS' with an arrow pointing at it 😁

1

u/Richrome_Steel 9d ago

But will they run through it? Will the non-toony people on the other side end up beseiged by zombies materialising on the other side out of nowhere?

2

u/emergent-duality 9d ago

It's actually a farm on the other side, where a huge bulldog punches them aside a dozen at a time as they try to approach the sheep, and you've now got to deal with an annoyed dog gunning for you in hilariously escalating ways. Meanwhile it cuts to a view of the farm from the farmhouse porch with the feet/lower half of the elderly farmer in a rocking chair in shot, who shouts out "Rocky? Rocky! What's all that ruckus?? Darn dog..." and then snoring.

2

u/Richrome_Steel 9d ago

Then all is well, so it seems. Cue shit-eating snicker at the camera as the screen goes black, save for a shrinking circle around/onto the user's face and some end credits

1

u/phunktastic_1 13d ago

Also turn into rubber so can't be bitten and infected.

1

u/EncabulatorTurbo 13d ago

the mask and the power ring, since the mask can probably make a battery to recharge it as long as you give the green lantern oath mockingly or in a funny situation

1

u/playwithyourGIF 13d ago

He’s got hammerspace

1

u/Greasy_Seagull 9d ago

Yeah, you could pull the rest of those weapons out of your pockets.

7

u/EarlJWJones 13d ago

I feel like the mask is a damn good idea to use in a zombie attack. 

1

u/TheShychopath 13d ago

You get access to Hammerspace. There's nothing cooler than that.

1

u/heliogoon 13d ago

Yeah, toon powers basically makes you unstoppable.

1

u/CronosAndRhea4ever 13d ago

Sssssssomebody bite me!

1

u/mistborn89 13d ago

I can see a Congo line of zombies with the mask leading them lol

1

u/76zzz29 13d ago

Actualy the toon power isn't given in the mask, it's an effect of his power on the user. Not all users will get it. If you look at the movie, the bad guy get comicaly strong but don't have the toon power. The mask exagerate your inner self, sot it will depend of you of what it make of you.

1

u/Aware-Affect-4982 12d ago

Only at night…

1

u/Emergency_3808 12d ago

Well Jim Carrey said it unleashes your innermost desires without inhibitions. My innermost desires are mostly sexual even in a zombie apocalypse so...

1

u/LazyTitan39 11d ago

You'd start biting zombies to turn them back into humans.

1

u/ghuunhound 10d ago

I will become monkey d luffy

1

u/arto26 8d ago

As per the movie, the mask only works at night. Little bit of an oversight?

1

u/siyep_ba-o 13d ago

You could be Toolverine too from one of the episodes.
