Mario, this might seem like a picky detail. But, I think you are mixing two different types of masks that cover two different parts of the face. The issue is your question does not match your answer pool as a result. Eye masks cover the middle of your face, while half mask covering the ​​​​upper half of your face​​. Besides, being two different types masks, your question is trying to be more accurate by being specific and actually is less accurate since it doesn't match the pool of answers. Plus, are you asking who is my favorite character or which mask is my favorite? The question implies character, but I think the my favorite or coolest mask is a far more interesting question, IMHO.

I would simply option A, rephrase the question to a

? Favorite Character Question

"​​Which fictional character ​​​​wearing an eye mask or half mask​​​​ is your favorite​​​​?​​" 

? Coolest Mask Question

Favorite Character Question

"​​Which eye mask or half mask wearing fictional character ​​​​sports the coolest mask​​​​?​​" 

or option B, split the poll into two or delete either eye or half masks from the answer pool with the remaining options matching the specified masks in the question.

I agree, focusing on the mask rather than on the hero makes the idea more interesting.

I disagree, the eyes belong to the upper half part of the face (being the nose the middle), therefore every eye mask covers the upper part of the face. The point is: the nose and mouth are always free, check the images. Every eye mask is a half mask, not every half mask is an eye mask (if it covers the mouth/chin and leaves nose/eyes free).

These fictional characters are wearing an eye mask or half mask.

​​Which is the coolest mask​​​​?​​

@mariojacobs​ The eyes belong to both the upper half and the middle, as it makes a difference if you are dividing the face in thirds or halves.

Anyways, more on the point of my original post, I think your poll suggestion is clearer, more accurate and more intetesting now.

Just curious, where does Bane fit into this whole conversation?

@mariojacobs Not all Watchmen wear a half-mask (Rorschach wears a full mask, Silk Spectre and Doctor Manhatan no mask), so you may wish to mention the hero in the image you posted, instead of the group. He is The Comedian.

You might also want to add Nite Owl from the same team.

Also FYC:

X-S

Flash

Elongated Man

Dove

Hawk

Speedy

Dreamer

Ladybug

Batwoman

Stargirl

Hourman

Ms. Marvel

Captain Man

Black Scorpion

Krrish

And of course: Batman

@Pencho15​ Thank you very much, all included. Total of 35 masks. To think that just like the Favorite Donkey suggestion, it started as a face-off idea...
