Fun Facts About Hero Masks
Small eye masks like this are also called domino masks – the name comes from Venice, where people wore a hooded cloak called a domino during carnival. Lots of heroes in comics and stories wear masks like these to keep their identity secret. But real-life heroes don't need a mask at all: helping others, comforting a friend, or bravely telling the truth makes you a hero too. Inventing your own hero can boost confidence. And every superpower counts – even the power to make everyone laugh.
