mask damage

Serpentik – Her first appearance and the bar fight scene [Hall of Fame] – [Blog exclusive]

by

I still “owe” you a post since I made the VIP Club update last Sunday 😉

It’s finally time to post more about my favorite (mask-related) movie of 2025!

I made this post in December:

https://maskripper.org/a-first-glimpse-on-the-maskripper-movie-of-the-year-2025

Now I wanna post a little more of the movie.

I will also make a Hall of Fame entry for this movie in the next few days.

Watch the video before you continue!

These are the first appearances of Serpentik in the movie.

She is the arch-nemesis of the hero. He wants to get her, he wants to unmask her.

She hides behind her mask… and even the face behind the mask… is a mask!

He is obsessed with her… which I can totally understand! 😉

It’s a bit odd that she doesn’t wear her usual mask in the bar. The audience (and all of those in the bar) thinks that she is fighting unmasked… but we see that she is actually wearing a face mask.

And not only one!?! But we will come to that later….

This scene is the most violent scene the movie has to offer, and damn… she is really killing those goons right and left!

Her arsenal is quite something. Deadly heels, razor-sharp claws, and little hooks in her hair(!).

Kind of a very violent/over-the-top Catwoman.

I love the twist and the end as she is laughing while ripping off her mask. A very sexy scene!

And even that face is just one of many…

By the way: Her leather catsuit is ….well…. AWESOME!

I will make at least one more post about this already legendary movie!

[Post 1 of 2 for today]

Another great example of mask damage with a full face mask!

Yeah, I don’t like that her mask (and suit) is magic, but I love that that mask can still be severely damaged like that.

Still a cool image as she “re-powers” herself, and her mask is intact again.

The mask damage was done really well… with parts of her face showing while she just might still be concealed just enough to keep her identity secret.

And I generally like it when costumes and masks are torn and damaged when the wearer was in a heavy fight.

Sadly, the scene where her mask is damaged is pretty short.

Still a great “mask damage” scene for my taste.

 

What do you think?

Batgirl’s full face mask gets massively ripped! [Masks off! #54]

by

It’s time for a new great scene from the comic books!

In this one, Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) will get into a fight that won’t be too good for her mask 🙂

Damn, these magic…. things…. really screw up her mask big time!

Her mask is perfect for such mask damage scenes, as it fully covers her face, and the material seems quite thin.

I love that she then pulls off a reserve mask to cover her face again, she is well prepared 🙂

Also, as a bonus, she then removes the lower part of her mask by pulling it up… and then pulls it back again.

I appreciate that she doesn’t (fully) unmask herself even when she is safe with these guys.

She stays in character and keeps her mask on, very good!

Quite some mask action for just a few pages!

A great comic book 🙂

2 masked (female) Luchadoras in a fight (incl. mask damage and an unmasking!)

by

This one was recommended to me about a month ago. Thanks again for recommending it!

We have two masked female Luchadoras in an epic battle.

I tried to post a longer version on YouTube, but it was blocked until I made two more edits, and the video was under 3 minutes.

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

The fight between the two is MUCH longer, but I had to cut it down to make a video that YouTube would accept.

So I focus my video on the two highlights of the fight 😉

Damn, especially the first scene is really sexy! Two masked women fighting each other in public, already a great setting.

I love how the villainess grabs into her mask and starts ripping it… certainly a rare treat 🙂

Damn that manager who stops her from doing that!

And then that guy even cheats, which leads to the defeat of the good girl.

There is a little cut in the unmasking process, as the camera focuses on the audience, and afterward, the mask is already much looser, and she can unmask her easily.

Still a great reveal, especially with the reactions of the “heroine” and the audience.

I also love how the evil girl enjoys all of that!

The costumes and masks are quite cool, especially the mask of the heroine that hides “enough” and is secured well.

The mask of the evil girl seems not secured enough without a chin strap. With all that rolling around, it might fall out way too easily…

Guess they cheated as they filmed it… and/or her mask is secured in a creative way.

I will watch the whole season of the show to get the full picture…

I’m not the biggest fan of wrestling (and its other versions), with all its “fakeness” but if you have masked ladies in it as here… I am certainly interested! 😉

To enjoy this scene even more, I want to get the full history of it, especially get to know how much secret identity struggle is actually involved.

Perhaps I will then make more posts about this show…

Catwoman gets (partially) unmasked during a fight! [Masks off! #53]

by

4 weeks ago, I posted some pictures from a new Catwoman comic book in which she got unmasked during a fight.

Just one issue later, there is another fight… and again(!)…someone grabs into her mask!

A very interesting development… 😉

Check out all the pages before you continue!

Ok, I don’t know if the writer is into unmaskings, or it is just a coincidence… but I love how the guys are going for her mask when they fight her!

This guy is only partially successful in unmasking her, but I love how he grabs into her mask and stretches the fabric 🙂

I think the mask could stay on her head with a yank like that, but it’s quite off how it (mostly) pops back into place like that.

The fabric also doesn’t rip, so it must be quite strong (enough).

He certainly doesn’t play around as he hits her quite hard several times.

I would love to know why he goes for her mask, as everyone seems to know who this Evie person is, who is Catwoman here.

Does he think it would weaken her if he unmasks her? Is that his way of dominating her? Or did it happen by accident/at random?

Hard to say…

It’s also interesting that neither he nor she comments on the unmasking attempt in any way… quite a shame 🙁

Still, a great scene as in 99.9% of the fight scenes with a masked woman… the mask gets ignored or is completely invincible to damage.

 

These pages are from “Catwoman 74” (2025) from the current series.

Issue 75 only has a flashback story in it, so I hope for issue 76 for an unmasking… even I BET she is already unmasked and wakes up tied up somewhere 🙁

Green Arrow fights against 2 masked women [Masks off! #50]

Time for a new “Masks off” post, where I present (mask-related) scenes from the comic that I really like!

In this one Green Arrow fights against 2 masked women!

Ok, 2 masked women with cool masks are already great!

Their masks disguise them perfectly, unlike many other masks in the genre.

I love how Nix is rather keeping her mask in place as she presses it against her face with one hand.

One strap that holds her mask is ripped… and it seems that that was exactly what Green Arrow wanted.

She thinks her mask will fall and expose her face, so she uses one hand to secure it.

By doing that she has only one arm left to fight him, which is her downfall.

I do love her determination to keep her secret identity! 🙂

And then Green Arrow pulls so hard on Rochev’s mask that the straps break and he thereby swiftly unmasks her.

A great unmasking!

I left out some pages in between that didn’t feature her… can’t post too much of it….

Well, what I would give to have these scenes in a movie or TV show!

Her outfit is really sexy… and that wig and full face mask is a great disguise. And she even thought of contact lenses in a different eye color, nice detail!

Ok, in a comic you can’t build in that many face details compared to reality or a live-action movie.

But I love how her mask gets totally ripped during the fight 🙂

A great unmasking and reveal!

Female Dark Moon Knight gets unmasked! [Masks off! #46]

Lately, I have become a little lazy when it comes to checking out the new comics for interesting scenes with masked women.

So thanks for the nice guy who posted about this one on a forum!

Quite rare stuff!

Not often do you see someone rip open the full-face mask of a masked woman!

Also nice that they talk about it a little… that he wants to see her face and that she says “You won’t get the chance!”.

Even the reader only gets that comment as he is already ripping her mask… a little late.

Would have been cool if there had been one small extra panel with her masked face delivering that line. And a “RIIIIIPPP” text would have been nice as well 😉

I do like that he is curious enough to unmask her, that should be the normal reaction if you fight against a masked woman/man, especially with a full-face mask.

So many villains just don’t care enough 🙁

Now, after he exposed her face he knows who she is and can see her (facial) reactions. She isn’t protected by her mask anymore and is more vulnerable now.

*EDIT September 3*: At first she manages to blind him and prevents him actually seeing her exposed face.

But that advantage is lost quickly….

All in all a really good scene! 🙂

I guess I should start to check out the new comics more regularly again!

What I would give if such moments would happen (much more) in new TV shows or movies!

Smoking hot women in great costumes and masks… mask damage… unmaskings (no, self-unmasking doesn’t really count).

Still hoping that we get another TV show with a masked woman as the lead character rather soon… #youcanalwaysdream

Black Cat VS Catwoman

by

Ok, one last, quick post in 2022.

Check out this video:

–

I think the fight is animated very well and … of course… I do love to see some sexy masked ladies fighting each other! 😉

The mask destruction is a big bonus as well!

Basically, my only negative aspect is the masks of the two. An eye mask and that open Catwoman cowl… not perfect.

I hope he makes a Batgirl VS Catwoman fight one day where both women have real cowls which get then damaged during the fight 😉

–

Catwoman VS Black Widow! Check out this animated 3D fan film!

by

Thanks to a member of our Behind the Mask forum, I discovered this gem, check it out and enjoy:

–

Watch the video before you continue!

Well….. WOW! I must say that is a VERY spectacular fan film!

This isn’t an aminated video from a big studio but the result of the work of just a few folks.

I love that Catwoman is in it and Black Widow is a good opponent for her… even I would have preferred Batgirl 😉

The effects are well done, all the sweat, rain and thunder, and so on.

The effects really add to the overall atmosphere.

The fight scene is well-choreographed and amazingly long.

Also, a big bonus for me is the costume damage! Normally these costumes seem indestructible in the movies which is quite annoying.

Especially the aspect that the Catwoman eye mask gets damaged twice is really great for me, as I love mask damage which happens so rarely!

A nice aspect is that Catwoman then gets fully unmasked! Also, I always prefer if the opponent slowly yanks or rips that mask away.

A shame that the two aren’t talking a little more, especially since some comments about Catwoman’s secret identity would have been great as her mask gets damaged more and more.

I imagine a Catwoman with a cowl fighting the classic Batgirl and then these two would battle to see how can destroy the mask of the opponent first 😉

 

As you can see on their Youtube channel they will make another battle between these two… looking forward to it… BIG time!

The 2 really interesting scenes in a …not so….interesting show

by

I’m not a fan of this show, and it was already canceled by Cancelflix after just one season with 8 episodes.

Even the season had only 8 episodes you could have easily told the story in 3 or 4 episodes.

And the idea to explain the backstory of (most of) the heroes in back flashes throughout the whole season(!) was really bad in my opinion.

But let’s focus on the good parts! The show provided two interesting scenes after all.

Let’s start with the most interesting one!

Preview:

–

The scenes weren’t welcome on Youtube, so check it out:

…sorry, had to remove it…..you are too late…

–

Watch the video first before you continue!

Ok, the bad news is…..that was her only scene in this mask and costume in the entire show. What a wasted potential…. 🙁

The costume is pretty great! Also I love the mask, it disguises Raikou’s face well and the material is well chosen! Ok, the cowl could use a chin strap for security reasons…but ok, not a major flaw.

Would have been so great to have seen her in more scenes…especially if some bad guys would get curious to see the face under that mask! 😉

It’s great that some of the masked “henchfolks” are actually (masked!) henchWOmen! It’s a pretty cool trend that the bad guys nowadays employ female fighters as well for their evil deeds. 10-20 years ago you could barely find any henchWOmen at all. I like the masks that they are wearing, a nice bonus feature!

Overall a really good scene….a shame

This scene was in episode 7.

In the very first episode, there was an interesting scene as well.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of those sci-fi costumes that can appear out of nowhere. I much prefer the “normal” version that you have to get on like normal clothes.

The fact that a villainess attacks bad guys who already are on a robbery…is pretty cool!

The fight isn’t that interesting, and her “costume” is rather lame…except for the boots. But the end is quite nice as her mask is just damaged enough that we can see one of her eyes.

And as you should know by now….I like to see damaged masks 😉 , a rare view!

The masked female revolutionist….gets….UNMASKED!

by

Last week I posted these scenes in which a masked female revolutionist unmasks herself…twice as she is wearing two masks(!).

In the meantime I watched the remaining episodes of the season and…..well…..the BEST scene was shown in the last episode of the season!

As the title of this post suggests she gets UNMASKED, this time by an evil henchman!

Check out some preview pictures:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

That’s how you do an unmasking! This short scene is my “unmasking highlight 2020” when it comes to TV shows and movies.

Ok, her leather mask does only cover on half of her face…but it covers more then most of the eye masks that heroines often are wearing.

And many things are done really good in this one:

She isn’t tied up, she can fight back. But he pushes her against the wall, using the oportunity immediately to to grab onto her mask. Finally a bad guy who actually wants to unmask the heroine….and he does it at the first chance he gets. For a moment she is stunned and he swiftly pulls hard on her mask. One of the two leather straps …..which holds her mask in place…. rips and he yanks the mask away from her, tossing it to the ground. Thereby he doesn’t only unmask her but even damaging her mask so she can’t put it on again. She later flees from the fight with others….still unmasked.

Yeah, the bog scar under the mask isn’t that attractive…but as I told in the post last week….she got it as bad guys punished her.

Also I like her reaction to it. She is furious as the mask comes off and all her anger is showing immediately.

Of course this scene is even more intense if you have watched the whole TV show before….

*EDIT* I forgot to mention this: Yeah, her mask doesn’t give her a secret identity, everyone knows who she is, it is like I said last week, a mask that hides the scar (like in Phantom of the Opera), but that doesn’t really change my liking about the unmasking.

–

I really love this scene as it shows something very rare.

I wish that season 2 of the Batwoman TV show would include a scene such as this one! Or an unmasking attempt during a fight….that would be awesome!

–

As a little bonus, here is the unmasking scene in the short version:

I recommend that you download it and play the file in endless repeat mode 😉

Masks off! #39 – Catwoman with severe “Mask damage” …and more missed opportunities

by

[2nd post for today]

Time for another issue of “Masks off!”  !

This time it’s about Catwoman.

In the issue from this week, Catwoman ends up in a room with two grenades! (early in the comic)

She survives, but the explosion badly rips her mask, and so she runs around with it for the rest of the issue 😉

I wanna show 3 scenes with 8 pages. There are more, of course, but I won’t show the complete comic here.

You may know by now that I love damaged masks, so the comic starts really good!

But again, it’s a shame that no one uses this opportunity for an easy unmasking.

In the 2nd scene, where she fights against the woman, that woman has her hand on her mask once, and then she even grabs the hair that is exposed by the mask damage.

But….again, the villain doesn’t unmask the heroine (I would count Catwoman into that category, 51% heroine/ 49% villainess)!

Really frustrating…. well, perhaps next time.

Two masked women in action – The Wasp VS Ghost – (with unmasking)

by

My first idea for a video from “Ant-man and the Wasp” was to make a video with all unmasking and masking scenes that the Wasp (Evangeline Lily) has in the movie. Because there are a LOT! But well, with the mechanical “wonder helmet” of hers, these unmaskings aren’t so interesting and all pretty much a like.

So, I wanna concentrate on the best unmasking scene in the movie. We have the Wasp and Ghost fighting about a ….miniaturized lab… and there is nothing wrong about two masked women fighting against each other 😉

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, ok, not really a good unmasking, but we have two masked beauties fighting each other….I won’t complain 😉 !

And I do love “mask damage” like in this scene, even we can see that only very short and from the side.

But that way it is a forced unmasking (due to the damage) and that is actually pretty cool.

Ok, I had hoped at least one of them had a real secret identity…but there masks/helmet are not really for hiding their faces under them. It’s more like a protection for combat action…I suppose.
