The 1994 superhero comedy starring Jim Carrey was an adaptation of a much different comic. In the film, Carrey plays a man named Stanley Ipkiss, an aw-shucks loser who finds a magical ancient mask that transforms him into a green-faced cartoon character with Chiclet teeth and a full wardrobe of Deion Sanders suits. As the Mask, Stanley not only is invulnerable, but has the ability to conjure any kind of prop or physics-defying sight gag he needs to escape any potentially dangerous situation on a crest of pure yucks. However, the original comic series The Mask is still about Stanley Ipkiss, a loser who finds an ancient Nordic mask that gives him superpowers... Except Stanley is an extreme right-wing lunatic, and instead of using his magic to dazzle would-be assailants so he can make his escape, he creates guns, knives, and bombs to murder every single person who has ever wronged him. Stanleys girlfriend (who is not Cameron Diaz) eventually puts on the Mask herself and shoots Stanley in the back, ending his reign of terror.
