Could No Face be based on Darkman?

Post by DAMartin »

I played the Darkman videogame and watched the third film. I have the No Face Figure and watched the movies, how couldn't I notice the similitudes before?
We have a disfigured man who wears disguises to reach his goals, and when not disguised, wears a trenchcoat and bandages on his face. Can you guess which one of them am I talking about? The main differences is that Darkman is an antihero and No Face is a villain (though slightly less evil than Dr X and Gangrene) and that while No Face wears classic rubber masks, Darkman uses a sort of synthetic skin with a flaw which causes it to rapidly disintegrate after being exposed to light for 99 minutes.
Could the Hasbro designers have been inspired by the Darkman movies to create No Face?

More than likely he was based on him.

:shock: 3rd one?
I didn't even know they'd made a sequel to the 1st Darkman film :-?

Are they any good ? I did rather enjoy the original film.
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

They were bad and starred Arnold "Zartan"Vosloo not Liam Neeson.

It's rather funny that Vosloo ended playing a master of disguises in two different film franchises :lol:

In fact, I'd say No Face is saner than Darkman (the bad guy is saner than the good guy! :lol: )
