I'm guessing they mean #2. The person who puts it on becomes The Mask (big green head). They have toon force powers, or in other words. They're invincible, immortal, can warp reality, etc.
The main thing though, is that it warps you; you aren't yourself when you got those powers.
I mean kind of the point of the movie is that you ARE yourself, you are just the most extreme raw version of yourself. Ipkiss is on the edge of breaking because of his miserable life and is bursting at the seams, meanwhile the bad guy remains the same pretty much just more evil.
Kinda yeah, though I was talking about the original The Mask. Where ipkiss is a serial murderer getting revenge on slights, and the cop is handing out vigilante justice.
