I wanted to post something else today… but that video got also blocked by YouTube.
To finally have a new video on the YouTube channel after 4 weeks I present two more scenes from this show.
Again, her secret identity is in danger as she is unconscious and a guy wants to take a look under that mask!
Preview:
He goes for her mask!
She is unconscious…
…and again a hand reaches for her mask!

Here is the video:
–
One episode ends with a cliffhanger as he is reaching for her mask from her right side.
Oddly enough the next episode doesn’t start exactly there, but seemingly his unmasking attempt is interrupted by the doorbell!?
With the woman he enters the room again and goes for her mask… again… and this time the woman intervenes by protest.
I can only guess why she doesn’t want Supergirl to be unmasked… maybe she is a loyal fan and it’s about respecting her secret identity.
If I remember right …Supergirl’s secret identity and the guy are really close, perhaps he even suspected his girlfriend(?) to be Supergirl and finally wants to prove it.
Two nice “close-call” unmasking scenes that remind me of this one:
It’s time for a proper upgrade as there is so little text in these old posts!
This is one of my favorite scenes that I have watched a hundred times, so it’s time to make a proper upgrade post.
Also, the video is on my pretty small Dailymotion channel, so many of you may have never seen the video or that old post.

In this TV show, Barbara Gordon is Oracle and is bound to a wheelchair.
As her old enemy, Lady Shiva re-appears in Gotham Barbara feels the need to put on her old (GREAT) Batgirl costume and can (shortly) walk again with the help of an experimental device.
Preview:
The two meet again..
…Lady Shiva…
…and Batgirl!
Batgirl is down!
Is that a hand at her cowl? 😉

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!
This Batgirl costume (alongside the nearly identical one from “Batman and Robin”) is SO AWESOME for me!
The mixture with the (mostly) black leather and rubber is sexy as hell and I love every second Dina Meyer is in it (and Alicia Silverstone).
If I would live in that Gotham City I would become a criminal in no time or …even better… a cop who wants to arrest the vigilante. #BlackScorpionvibes
Or I would need to be rescued from evil criminals suspectingly often 😉
The cowl is nice but basically my only issue about the whole outfit.
It is cut open very high at the back of the head and …more problematic… has no chin strap and no neck coverage.
So unmasking her is way too easy as this video demonstrates.
Also, the cowl could simply fall off in a hectic fight… and that shouldn’t be possible.
It’s a fantastic tread that here we also have a second masked woman in the scene… Lady Shiva.
And damn… her mask is AWESOME and the costume is quite good as well.
It’s a shame that Batgirl here goes down so easily as that device is failing quickly. 🙁
An epic unmasking battle with these two where Batgirl isn’t paralyzed and is wearing a properly secured/upgraded cowl… is basically my holy grail.
Also a whole TV show with such a Batgirl as the lead character…. would be even more insanely-awesome-fantastic 😉
In this show Batgirl is just in one episode and some black and white mini flashbacks.
I do love that Shiva here immediately goes for Batgirl’s mask as soon she realizes that Batgirl is helpless!
That’s how a villain(ess) should do it! She has the opportunity to find out who Batgirl is and takes it. Perfect!
Not like most of the other villains who just run off and aren’t interested at all to find out who is hiding behind that mask.
Now the helpless Barbara Gordon is lying in front of her and she is ready to finish her off to get her revenge (most likely).
Then Huntress, who is sadly never wearing a mask or even a costume, shows up right in time to save Barbara.
She was too late to save Batgirl from the unmasking though. #timing
Due to the fact that Huntress isn’t wearing a mask, Lady Shiva recognizes Helena and runs off as she doesn’t wanna fight against her.
Or maybe she was afraid to lose and then be unmasked as well? 😉
All in all just an awesome scene!
Here, as a little bonus… two (edited) pictures of the “exposed” Barbara:
Thanks a lot (again) to the one who recommended me this one a while ago!
This bizarre Superheroine show is quite a rollercoaster.
It has 129(!) episodes, which are available on Youtube!
A masked superheroine in different costumes and solid masks is the lead character!
It has a lot of secret identity issues incl. unmaskings and unmasking attempts!
It even has a masked villainess that is in many episodes!
Sounds fantastic? Well yes…. BUT…. there are also some problems.
More on that later on…
Preview:
Supergirl!?!
And a masked villainess!
She is pinned down and someone is reaching for her mask!

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!
I combined scenes from 2 episodes for this one. One episode ends just after the villainess unmasked herself and we see Supergirl’s shocked face. #cliffhanger
–
Here are the problems the show has for me:
– Obviously, the language issue if you are not familiar with it… no dub or subtitles are available
– The playlist of this show has 129 videos with episodes but they are …often… not in order… a total mess
– It’s a soap opera, a really over-the-top soap opera… that you can realize very quickly without understanding a word 😆
– Really bad CGI and a total overload of superpowers
– some really annoying characters like a magic micro-mini-human
But, it also has a lot to offer 🙂 (as mentioned above)
Now to the scene itself:
Supergirl knows who the villain is, I think she was/is in love with him as he was turned into this evil character.
So he is shocked to find her under the mask of his enemy… Supergirl.
He wants to protect her so he carries the unmasked Supergirl away before the villainess can find her.
It’s been a while since I watched (skipped through) these episodes and the language issue makes it a lot more difficult to follow the crazy storyline.
I like the struggle with her and that he unmasks her, even the camera should be more focused on her face.
But I certainly love the expression on her face as she realizes in terror that he unmasked her.
She should have put up more of a fight… but I guess the way she got smashed against the tree was still affecting her big time.
I love how the guy is tossing her mask on the ground as he isn’t exactly happy about finding out that his love was Supergirl the whole time.
All in all, a really interesting scene.
In other episodes, she is wearing a costume that makes her look like a version of Spider-girl, also really interesting!
And the mask is actually the source of her power, as soon she puts it on she turns into the superheroine.
That means an unmasking leaves her powerless AND destroys her secret identity, quite a combo.
I guess I could make …at least…. 5 more posts with scenes from this show.
I will think about it….
–
The hint where to find the playlist with the other episodes can be easily found in the video 😉
I posted about the best mask-related scenes here some years ago… but I missed one scene that surely needs to be here as well!
This TV show is in my Hall of Fame and is certainly one of my favorites 🙂
Here we have an episode where Tessa finds out that there is a man who actually knows who killed her father.
Of course, she wants to know and actually saves this guy (as Queen of Swords) from the evil duo the Colonel and the Captain.
But then something really bad is happening….
Preview:
She unmasks herself…. and someone is peeping!
He is really evil and has special plans…
…for Tessa!

And here is the video:

In the past, I often mentioned how careless some masked heroines are when it comes to self-unmaskings in (more or less) public places.
For example, Batwoman unmasked herself on rooftops and alleys at night in the TV show. There was always the danger that someone might show up or would watch it from the distance.
I’m not a big fan of such careless behavior… as I don’t want anyone to uncover a secret identity out like that.
The Queen of Swords was more careful in general and here she thought it would be safe to unmask herself in her own home which is placed quite remote.
But, unlucky for her… the scumbag was peeping through her windows and saw how the Queen of Swords unmasked herself and he recognized the face of Tessa.
And that is such an enormous problem for any heroine with a secret identity… especially if it’s a bad guy.
With his knowledge, he approaches her when she is the most vulnerable. Tessa is alone, without weapons, and without her costume.
Her dress is also making it more difficult for her as it slows her down.
Quite unusual that the show really gets that dark and that they have a bad guy who actually wants to rape the heroine/her civilian self!
That never was a topic in shows like Black Scorpion, Batwoman, etc.
And here she really gets into a big dilemma, as she wants to know from him who killed her father, but also has to defend herself and take care of the fact that he knows her biggest secret!
The outcome is the only possible outcome for me. He knows her secret identity, he tried to rape her… she has to kill him, even if that means that she won’t find out who killed her father… at least at this point.
These scenes perfectly demonstrate the danger of losing a secret identity… and therefore I need to post about it.

These scenes are from episode 8 of Queen of Swords.
I’m rather low on material right now but this movie has 2 nice scenes with masked women.
Thanks to the nice guy who mentioned it some time ago!
Preview:
A masked fighter….
…a female masked fighter!
The masked villainess!

Here is the video:

Yeah, as (nearly) always….there are some negative aspects in here as well.
It’s a very dark scene and I had to edit the first two screenshots so you would see anything.
The masked fighter is always moving and you never get a really good look at her.
Also, I don’t even know why she is wearing that mask in the first place. It’s the only scene with her wearing it and it’s never even fully explained why she does it.
But seemingly she wants everyone to think that she is dead.
I do like how Jessica Chastain’s face is revealed, even is was done very quickly.
I do like her as an actress and I think she is also very attractive so that is a plus point!
I added the 2nd scene with Emily Blunt just as a little bonus as she only puts the mask on, and the mask isn’t even there to disguise her identity.
–
All in all a very good movie with some bonus scenes for those who like to see masked women 😉
Today I wanna feature a GREAT compilation on this site. And thanks again to the guy who pointed me towards it!
A compilation of masked villainesses of all sorts. In under 4 minutes you will see a lot of great scenes. 🙂
Some of them were already featured here on this blog, and one scene can even be found on my sister blog frogwoman.org.
But as a matter of fact, I don’t know some of these scenes.
Perhaps some of you can fill in some of the blanks as well!
*Edit*
I only identified 5 of fitting movies/TV shows. Pretty disappointed by that. Guess I have seen one or two of the other scenes, but not sure.
However the movies/TV shows I know for sure:
Weep no more, my lady [movie] – wetsuit, puts on scuba mask, japanese outfit/fencing mask, scuba scene
Continuum [TV show, season 1, episode 7] – shower attack with taser
Punisher [movie] – wetsuit (in group), motorcycle/chain
James Bond – A view to kill [movie]– Eifeltower, angle scene, landing on boat
Sudden Strike [movie] – penguin, mascot
Beverly Hills Cop 2 [movie] – woman in gas mask – Thanks to “Franck” for this info!
Romeo must die [movie] – woman on motorcycle (uzi, “unmasking”) – Thanks to “john jawir” for the info!
MacGyver [“Murderers’ Sky” Season 3, Episode 20] – the very last scene in the video with Tia Carrere – Thanks to “2AM” for the info!
Alias [Season 3, ep 14] – ? – Thanks to “pp” for the info!
Clip starting at :19 is Loni Anderson playing a female jewel thief from “B.L. Stryker: Grand Theft Hotel,” an ABC series starring Burt Reynolds. – Thanks to JK!
Clip at 1:10 of a masked killer using a silencer is from “Full Exposure: The Sex Tapes Scandal.” Jennifer O’Neill is the killer. – Thanks to JK!
Well, the last episode from the Flash had some interesting dialogues about secret identities and an unmasking as well.
Even if I hope, I don’t think it will be of impact for further episodes….but let’s see if that gets a real big problem.
Preview:
XS and three villains?
What is happening…
….here?????
(cllick to enlarge)
–
And here is the video:
–
Well, what a clumsy/moronic Sherloque Wells! He does try to convince Nora/XS how much her parents care about her….but by saying that he actually exposes the fact that she is his daughter.
And the “weather witch” connects the dots and realises that Nora is XS, who gives up the masquerade and unmasks herself in front of a villainess!
XS is exposed!
Well, these three villains aren’t big villains like Cicada…but I wonder if they use that knowledge later on against her (and her family)?
…well not the ….actual nutj*b who is in the white house right now, but the US President in the Supergirl TV-series.
In this last episode before the Elseworlds crossover event, we got some great lines about her secret identity.
And I know that Supergirl isn’t “masked” and that actually Kara Denvers is the “masked” alter ego (with the glasses and the different hairstyle 😉 ).
However I found this dialogue between the President and Supergirl….very interesting! He wants to know more about Supergirl….MUCH more 🙂
Preview:
The President wants to know….
….Supergirl’s….
…..deepest secret!!!

–
And here is the video:
–
Well, I do love talk about unmaskings and secret identities. And the fact that he tries to force her to give up her secret identity, is kind of sexy 😉
But Supergirl knows about the catastrophic consequences if she would give it up and thereby expose Kara and especially her loved ones. Every villain could easily come after them…
She knows that Supergirl and Kara MUST co-exist to keep her friends and family safe.
And so she doesn’t let her “mask” down 🙂
It was the right choice…..but I am looking forward to the next episodes and the consequences.
For today I got 2 rather short scenes, but interesting stuff.
In the first scene Flashs cowl gets damaged. The rubber of his mask gets ripped in some places. I love it when masks gets damaged….and now imagine a woman behind that cowl…. 🙂

Here is the video:
—————————-
And I have another short scene for you.
James Olsen talks with Supergirl about his plans of unmasking himself (as he is masked vigilante Guardian) and why Supergirl needs to keep her secret identity (that brilliant ….”glasses + different hairstyle”- disguise…. 😉 )
Preview:

Here is the video:
–
Yeah, how much I wish Supergirl would wear a mask… I like her disguise as Kara. And the fact that she really cares about not being exposed as being Supergirl.
It’s always a little thrill to me that she might be exposed and outed as Supergirl.
Especially that Lena Luthor might find out….she really likes Kara, but has pretty big problems lately with Supergirl…
Let’s see how long Supergirl can protect her secret from Lena. 😉
Happy new year folks! Well, I hope you had a nice christmas time last year and a good start in 2017!
Today I edited 2 videos for you folks. In both we see the same female masked agent.
In the first one she wears a mask to disguise her identity to a known enemy and to partner who is (in this case) an enemy too. They can’t know that she is under the mask…
In the second video she wears a “tactical cold suit, she needs it so that the heat signature cameras wouldn’t be alerted… If her mask would come off…she would have a massive problem 😉
Can she keep her mask on?
Preview, Scene 1:
Our agent…
….who is she?
Trouble!

And here is the video:

Good stuff for my taste! 😉
And if you really don’t know what TV-series that is:
[If you haven’t seen the flash episode aired on November 10th…. SPOILERS ahead!]
Ok, first I must admit: The following scene doesn’t have a masked superheroine but a masked superhero. So why is it relevant for this site?
It is a really great scene! Imagine this scene with a woman under that rubber mask! The danger of being unmasked in front of the public, the ripping destruction of her mask… Believe me, you don’t wanna miss it! It is a fantastic setting…
So, check it out:
Preview:
That doesn’t look good for the Flash!
Someone is UNMASKING him!

Here is the scene:
–
>>>> And if you wanna see just the UNMASKING on SlowMotion: <<<<
–
In my eyes it’s a fantastic scene! The danger of being unmasked in front of the press and the police! And the actual unmasking!
I love it when the mask is ripped and destroyed. Much more interesting than a simple “pull off”.
And his mask is pretty good for an unmasking! Of course there is room for improvement… it would be even better if Barry would be conscious during that scenes 😉
