the baron's helmet

Was wondering what people thought about the Baron's mask

. Why did he chose it and what's it made off, etc.
Is it some ancient relic made of iron chosen for some mystic symbolism? And/or a family heirloom? Is it some sort of super technologically advance piece of kit that lets him do all sorts of fancy stuff...
Why is it shaped the way it is? Anyone got any ideas as to what inspired it creator?

"the man in the iron mask", a prisoner in today`s climate, of people objecting to random
killings.

It's definitely got a sci-fi tech / mystical energy to it, the freebie from the comic had the phrase: "Share the Baron's hypnotic power... dominate your friends."

I think it's to show power and produce fear.
What would scare you more? The Baron wearing his iron mask and only being able to see his eyes or Osama Bin Laden wearing his robes?

his entire suit is a deadly gas suit, for the life of me cant think of what there called
High Mat or something like that
in any case look at the yellow eco warrior dude from GI JOE and youll get what Im trying to say.

its an idea stolen from ned kelly the famous outlaw.
im told cobra commander now uses it as a waste paper bin
it certainly wont be made of iron.too heavy.nor will it be made of a vinyl material like the figure!!!
