History Main / DominoMask

** Katana in her current costume. In [[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders older incarnations]], she wore fuller head coverings.

** ComicBook/MsMarvel. The mask's uselessness was {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by her parents, who weren't fooled in the least. This is also worn by "ComicBook/DarkAvengers" Ms. Marvel (Moonstone), who usually wears a different outfit, and [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]], who wears a simple figure-eight blue cloth mask. In Issue #22 of the second run, after Kamala [[spoiler:reveals her identity to Josh/Discord]], the latter comments that in hindsight a part of them had always known, since a domino mask isn't exactly heavy-duty concealment.

** ''ComicBook/XForce'': ComicBook/{{X 23}} and Warpath. Despite the name, Domino ''doesn't'' wear one, although her facial marking resembles one half of a domino mask.

** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': The supporting character Black Cat wears a black, angular domino mask with windows much larger than her actual eyes. She actually hits both types of this trope, being both a superhero and a reformed cat burglar.

** Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}}'s incarnation in ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures'' wears this as a costumed rogue "Silencer".

** Also, some versions of Franchise/{{Zorro}} when it isn't a bandana.

[[folder:FanWorks]]

* Franchise/{{Zorro}}. He actually wore a full face mask in the original pulp stories; the domino mask didn't come until the Douglas Fairbanks films.

* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'', Skull Face, wears one. Combined with his stetson, three-piece suit, and leather boots, it makes him look like a twisted knockoff of Franchise/{{Zorro}}.

* ''Anime/LaSeineNoHoshi'': The titular La Seine No Hoshi wears a frilly red mask. Being an {{Expy}} of Zorro, she also leaves red carnations as a ZorroMark.

* Simone (a.k.a ''Anime/SeineNoHoshi'') wears a frilly red one, similar to Sailor V.

A domino mask will often compose the third part of CoatHatMask. For villains, a domino mask is also one of the standard accoutrements of [[BlatantBurglar the cartoon burglar]]. They are also commonly associated with [[RascallyRaccoon raccoons]], famously sneaky and thieving animals whose eye markings resemble the domino mask. Bonus points if the mask also [[IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery removes the wearer's irises and pupils]]. For other less heroic variants, see MalevolentMaskedMan. A SleepMask is generally a similar sort of shape, only without the eye holes. The [[PaperThinDisguise glasses]] involved in literal ClarkKenting, by disrupting the features around the eyes, derives from a similar idea.

* Phantom Limb in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''
** Also [[spoiler:Professor Impossible]] when he joins the Revenge Society.
** And in the sixth season, Blue Morpho and Kano--as an homage to [[Radio/TheGreenHornet Green Hornet and Kato]]--wear blue ones when they're out fighting crime. When [[spoiler:Monarch and #21]] take up the mantle to hide their motives, they wear the same masks along with the rest of the outfit.
*** Wide Wale and his henchman Rocco [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] the trope when they reveal that, since they know [[spoiler:The Monarch]] personally, a domino mask and fedora don't do much to conceal the Blue Morpho's identity.

* Anita Mui wore a silver mask in ''Film/HeroicTrio'' that resembled a domino mask except that her mask went higher on her forehead than the usual depictions.
* ''Film/LaReineMargot''. Margot wears a DominoMask when she goes out onto the street looking for some rough trade to have sex with. La Môle, the man she chooses, assumes she's wearing it because she's ugly or disfigured, not knowing he's having sex with a member of the royal family.
* Selina Kyle (Creator/AnneHathaway) uses one in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', which is technically part of her safecracking goggles, and which she also uses to protect her eyes when riding the Batpod.
* ''Film/TheLoneRanger2013'' wears one made from the vest of the Lone Ranger's brother. The eye holes were made from the bullet holes. A frequent RunningGag is people he encounters asking him: "What's with the mask?"
* ''Film/TheFall'' Lee Pace wears a red one when playing the Masked Bandit.
* In ''Film/ACinderellaStory,'' Sam's costume for the Halloween dance is basically a fancy dress, and this. Nobody can recognize her. Her friend Carter also has one as part of his Zorro costume, but at least that's a whole outfit.

* Suggs and several other members of ''Music/{{Madness}}'' wear domino masks when they're dressed as criminals in the music video for the song "Shut Up".

* In ''[[Literature/SherlockHolmes The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton]]'', Watson makes a pair of domino masks out of black silk for himself and Holmes as they are preparing to break into the titular blackmailer's house. During the heist, they witness Milverton's murder by a third party and Watson nearly gets caught in the ensuing chaos, providing the police with a rather vague description of a man with a square jaw, mustache and a mask over his eyes, but is never found out in the end.

* The Kryptonbrand assassin team in ''Anime/WeissKreuz: Weiss Side B'' wear these as their trademark.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Oddly enough, they treat the mask as if it is a fool-proof protection of their identity when it barely covers the eyes and [[ExpressiveMask moves with their expressions]].

** Tuxedo Masks wore a white one.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]], both when he was ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's sidekick and when he was the Winter Soldier. Barnes dropped it when he became Cap. [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Rick Jones]] wore the same mask during his brief stint as Bucky, and the ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn'' version of Bucky also wore a variation of this mask. Another [[CaptainPatriotic patriotic]] character briefly used the name Bucky but changed it due to the UnfortunateImplications (he was black) and later adopted the name Battlestar. He wore a similar domino mask.

* ''LaReineMargot''. Margot wears a DominoMask when she goes out onto the street looking for some rough trade to have sex with. La Môle, the man she chooses, assumes she's wearing it because she's ugly or disfigured, not knowing he's having sex with a member of the royal family.

* ''Film/LaReineMargot'' wears one when she goes out looking for a man to have sex with.

* The player characters from ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' (called "Inklings") have black marks around their eyes to give the impression of a mask.

* Maxwell of ''VideoGame/TriangleStrategy'' wears a mask like this in conjunction with a NiceHat. [[spoiler:After his defeat at Avlora's hands, his mask and hat are recovered by House Wolffort -- Roland starts wearing them to protect his identity while FakingTheDead.]]
