If gas masks aren't exclusive to Mooks, you may be looking at Post-Apocalyptic Gas Mask. Often crosses over with Radio Voice and Doom Troops. May or may not be a marker of Elite Mooks. British citizens were issued gas masks during World War II for this reason, and Germany never dropped chemical weapons on England (so they either weren't needed or worked perfectly - take your pick). The lack of an obvious need for gas masks may be justified as preventative measures: in other words, if everybody has a gas mask, no enemy will waste time attempting to gas them. May also show up as the Mask part of Coat, Hat, Mask, turning it into Gas Mask, Longcoat, and more commonly as part of a Malevolent Masked Man ensemble. There's a reason Vader's face looks like a stylized gas mask. Let us be brutally honest, though - it looks either damned cool or damned scary. If they're lucky.įunnily enough, in many video games, enemies wearing gas masks are still affected by gas-based weapons. This is even though 1) being evil, they presumably have no qualms against doing so and 2) the heroes typically are wearing nothing except civilian clothes and a smile. Despite the prevalence of gas masks amongst the enemy forces, it never seems to occur to them to use chemical weapons against the heroes. In situations (especially video games) where the majority of Mooks are not Faceless Goons, gas masks are often the mark of Elite Mooks.
note With how much they restrict both your breathing and vision when actually worn, few people would ever want to wear one without being in a situation making it necessary. Note that this almost always occurs in situations where the goggles and gas masks serve no real practical purpose, as chemical weapons aren't even a factor in whatever conflict is involved. A popular form of the Faceless Goons, achieved by taking your enemy Mooks and giving them all gas masks.
