Here’s our list of ideal pandemic cosplays! These masked characters from video games, anime, tv, movies and comic books rock their badass masks like they’re in style! This list is for face masks similar to the medical masks we are wearing these days, so the criteria is masks that cover you mouth and nose, but still shows your eyes. That excludes Zorro and The Dread Pirate Roberts aka Westley from The Princess Bride type eye masks, that will have to be for another list.

We have to give a shout out to the ultimate masked villain Bane from DC Comics Batman as well – he only didn’t make the list because his mask in the movies isn’t quite a safe barrier and in the comics is a full head mask. Anyway, we’ll have to also do another list of iconic geek pop culture characters who wear full helmets or full head masks – like Stormtroopers and so many others from the Star Wars universe, Iron Man or Deadpool from Marvel Comics and many other superheroes and Master Chief from Halo, etc etc etc.

These are in no particular order, but our first pick is Kitana from the Mortal Kombat franchise, which is of course full of other masked characters like Mileena, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Skarlet and more. We didn’t want to flood the list with all Mortal Kombat characters so we chose her as the most iconic.

Let’s begin the 10 iconic characters who rock facemasks list:

Who are you favorite masked characters and who would you add to this list? I’m sure we’ve missed a few so drop a comment and maybe we’ll put together another list. A helmet list is also incoming!
