The Mask

Name: Stanley Ipkiss

Age: mid-30's

Race: Human

Title: Big Head

Bio: A sad, pathetic man who was constantly getting pushed around, Stanley Ipkiss seemed doom to a life of misery and pain until he happened upon a bizarre mask. On donning it, his true desires would come to life in a surprisingly-gruesome way. As the publicly-named "Big Head" or "The Mask", Ipkiss would fall victim to the artifact's desire for chaos, mischief, and bloodshed with a questionable amount of control. He would not be the Mask's first host, and he would be far from its last.

Voice Actor: Rob Paulsen

Special Attacks:

-Throwin' Arm: The Mask winds up and pitches an object at the opponent at random. Such objects include...

Whoopee Cushion - Emits flatulence on impact

Cream Pie - Sticks to opponent for a few seconds

Bike Horn - Honks on impact

Deadpool's Head - Says "oh, come on!" as it flies

Dynamite Pack - Explodes after 5 seconds

Ice Sculpture - Freezes opponent

Hawaiian Torch - Sets opponent on fire

Tommy Gun - Fires in random directions as it flies

Bulldog - Bites opponent and locks them in place

Landmine - Sticks to the ground and explodes if stepped on

Baseball - Flies in a straight line and, if it misses, will fly at the opponent again from the opposite side of the stage

-Hop-Splotch: The Mask leaps straight into the air, then comes down while wearing an oversized pair of VERY spiky cleats. Where he comes down varies depending on the button input.

-Stage Hazards: The Mask pulls a rope that spontaneously appears in front of him, dropping a heavy object (piano, anvil, dumbbell, etc.) on a different part of the stage.

-Rubber Physics: The Mask will do one of three different moves in varying directions. These are both evasive and offensive in nature.

LIGHT: Turns into a spring and goes straight into the air. Good for catching midair opponents.

MEDI: Turns into a giant rubber ball that bounces forward three times, striking the opponent if they're in his way.

HEAVY: Bends backward like a slinky twice, then launches forward, feet-first to kick the opponent.

-Big Hand: The Mask grows his hands to a huge size, then claps them (up to three times w/proper timing). Limited range, but runs high chances of stunning the opponent.

Throws

FORWARD: The Mask repeatedly slaps the opponent across the face, then hits them over the head with a hammer before pushing them over with a finger.

BACKWARD: The Mask disappears, then reappears behind the opponent with an oversized slapstick, then swats them in the posterior, sending them on their face.

Super Moves:

-2nd Amendment Rights: The Mask hides his hands behind his back, then pulls out a vast array of guns--shotguns, machine guns, magnums, bazookas, etc. and takes aim before unleashing them all in a dazzling array of gunfire. He'll end it with five rockets that explode on contact, then blows the smoke off their barrels and magically pockets them all.

-The Big One: The Mask takes out a gigantic hammer and swings it down. If it successfully connects with the opponent, it will bury them up to their neck in the ground. As they regain their senses, the Mask is absent. In his place is a machine with a timer counting down from 3 seconds. It reaches 1, then pauses. The Mask comes in, gives it a kick, then runs. It reaches 0 and then explodes in a mushroom cloud visible from space. The opponent is flat-out on their back while The Mask is completely-black save for his eyeballs. He shakes himself clean and the fight resumes after his color scheme returns.

FATALITIES:

-To Square One: The Mask cracks his knuckles and snaps his fingers, seeming to disappear to the opponent's confusion. Suddenly, a mouse cursor appears over the opponent and a menu pops up. He chooses the option "Delete Everything" and clicks it. The quality of the game suddenly starts to decline--losing texture/detail, reducing to pre-render state, then basic model, then concept art, then animation storyboard before finally disappearing--the Mask appearing seated at a computer. He then turns to the player and says "Ain't I a stinker?"

-Erasin' Mistakes: The Mask reaches into his pants and pulls out a gigantic pencil. He twirls it around so that the eraser faces the opponent, then begins to rapidly swipe at them, erasing them from existence from the head-down as they scream in terror. When he finally finishes with their feet, he blows fragments off the eraser and scribbles "Next!" (in colored, stylized font, too).

Intro: A multicolored tornado spirals into the arena, then slows to a halt to reveal the iconic green face of The Mask.

Outro: The Mask looks at his watch, waves in a jovial fashion as his leg extends off-screen, then zips away on that same leg.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: Stanley Ipkiss didn't know what had happened. One day, he was just sleeping at home, not a care in the world. Next thing he knew, he was in some backwards world where nothing made sense and dozens upon dozens of colorful characters were duking it out for top spot. With so many dangerous characters out for his blood, Ipkiss was driven to don the cursed artifact and, in a whirlwind of chaos, The Mask took over and decided to make this whole world his own personal playground.

Rival Cutscene:

(In a seemingly-ordinary park on the outskirts of a city, all seems well, complete with peaceful-sounding music...until someone sped by on a moped that was somehow going over a hundred miles per hour. The Mask tore through the world in the fast lane, tongue hanging out the corner of his mouth and actually toppling a lamppost in his rampage.)

Mask: OH YEEEEAAAAH!!! SOMEBODY STOP ME!

(He speeds past a park bench and sees a figure seated on it, looking at the horizon. Comically, his head freezes in place while his neck continues to stretch off screen-right. The rest of him then springs back into place when he recognizes the familiar red-and-black bodysuit of Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth.)

Mask: What-ho? Whadda we got here?

(Deadpool turns at the source of the voice, but gives no dramatic reaction or act to violence, instead opting to return his gaze to the horizon. The Mask bends and extends like a slinky, landing to sit right next to Deadpool.)

Mask: Whassa matter, DP? I know ya, you're usually more upbeat, zany and the like. So what's got ya down?

Deadpool: I don't wanna talk about it.

Mask: Hmm... Perhaps a little change of scenery will help?

(The Mask goes into a whirlwind of color and, right where the bench once stood, Deadpool now laid, face-up, on a sofa with The Mask seated on a separate chair. Mask in question is dressed like a shrink with a notepad and pen.)

Deadpool: Huh. This does help, actually.

Mask: That's nice, Pool. Now, where do ya think this all started?

Deadpool: I dunno, doc. I guess it all started with that trailer for our fight. I mean, the whole point of "Death Battle" is to be impartial and keep people guessing at first, right? So, why outright admit that the whole point of this episode is to freakin' kill one of the combatants? It kills any and all suspense!

Mask: That's interesting. Their little invitation to me DID seem a bit too eager to putcha down now that I think about it. There more to talk about?

Deadpool: Well, after that whole thing went down, I did a lot of soul searching. Talked to Wolvie, talked to Weasel, talked to Bob, I even talked to the guys who write my comics for their opinions. To them, I'm more than a meme and have some seriously messed-over shit that might, MIGHT need addressing...and two guys pit me in a fight I can't win because the masses are obsessed with me for all the wrong reasons. Now I'm not sure if I can ever win anything.

(The Mask jots the whole thing down, though it's revealed to be a picture of both him and Deadpool kicking the butts of Wiz and Boomstick, while saying "not cool, bro". He peers over it...)

Mask: Sounds like ya had it rough and, yeah, I'm willin' to admit I did play a part in it. But the big picture here is--ya got scammed and we can all agree that it was a serious cop-out in more ways than one. But I know the one thing that should lift your spirits, my mouthy, mercenary friend.

Deadpool: I'm listening.

Mask: (leans way down and whispers in Deadpool's ear) We're not in Death Battle. We're in a fighting game BASED on it.

Deadpool: (shoots up into a sitting position) Wait, you mean...?

Mask: (ditches the shrink outfit and is back in his zoot suit) Yuppers! It's one of THOSE fighting games, too!

Deadpool: (excitement building) Like that one where I could fight Phoenix Wright, the knight from Ghosts 'n Goblins, and a raccoon?

Mask: PRECISELY! And y'know the best part of those games? ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! Anyone can lose to anyone! It can be cool, goofy, downright-stupid and nobody would care! It's all dependent on the player behind the controller right there! (points to the camera, Deadpool's gaze following)

Deadpool: (turns back to Mask with excitement) Oh-ho, MAN! These kinds of games are my JAM! What was I so glum about?! (grabs the Mask's hand and shakes vigorously) Thank you, my unfortunately-not-played-by-Jim-Carrey friend!

Mask: Don't mention it, ya walkin' cancerous insane asylum! What're friends for? Now! Accordin' to the rules of the game, none of us can face the final boss until one of us comes out on top in a fight.

(Deadpool looks ready to interject, but the Mask holds up a finger to stop him.)

Mask: Ah! Fighting game, remember?

Deadpool: Oh, riiiight! Anything can happen! Nothin's predetermined!

Mask: Tell ya what? Take a free shot! It's on me.

Deadpool: If ya say so!

(Deadpool decks the Mask across the face so hard that his head spins. He stops it by slapping his hands on his cheeks, with an audible squeaky-toy sound.)

Mask: Not bad! Now, let's get this party started!

(The Mask reaches into his pockets and flings out two health bars that hover in their respective corners. As he puts up Super Meters and more, Deadpool grabs the camera.)

Deadpool: Hey, player! TRY makin' us look good, okay? Ya came this far, the last thing I wantcha to do is drop the ball. Got it?!

(The Mask finishes setting things up, then he and Deadpool take up their respective fighting poses as the screen fades to black.)

Ending: When he finished off the Mastermind of Death Battle, the Mask's first order of business was to try and-

Yeah, gonna have to stop ya right there, Mr. Narrator.

Wait, what?!

Buddy, what's goin' on here?! I'm not about to get some sappy after-story after all this! I'm on a roll here!

But I was just about to explain how you went home and-

Nuh-uh! I'm hoppin' through worlds, causin' mayhem wherever I go and I'm only stoppin' when I get bored! And guess what?

What?

I'm startin' with the scariest one you can think of.

No...NO...

Yes. YES!!! YOUR WORLD IS MY BURRITO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!
