Masque was one in a series of bio-duplicates created by the agoraphobic Whitney Frost / Madame Masque. Too paranoid to leave her protective bunker, Madame Masque employed these "Masques" imprinted with her memories, personality, and appearance to act as her avatars out in the real world and among the Maggia family she ruled. However, this particular Masque escaped from Nefaria's bunker before the imprinting process was completed. She had only a partial copy of Whitney's memories and retained her sense of independence.
