The Mask of Drake DuCaine was an artifact from Puckworld's ancient past, a bio-mechanical cybernetic interface device, created by the legendary duck warrior Drake DuCaine, with the power to penetrate the Saurians' dark magic and cloaking technology. Once he donned the Mask, Drake was able to locate the Overlords and, with the help of his fellow rebels, imprison the evil ones in a dimensional limbo.
The legendary Mask gives the wearer computer-enhanced vision and an intimidating appearance. Also, only a duck can wear the mask and use its powers. Anyone else who tries is stunned by a surge of electricity as part of a safeguard to keep the mask out of the wrong hands.
When Puckworld was captured by Lord Dragaunus, a rebel fighter named Canard was the one who found the legendary Mask of Drake DuCaine and organized the resistance against their Saurian overlords. Canard’s mission was successful and Dragaunus was forced to flee Puckworld and set course for Earth. Unfortunately, in order to save his team from perishing in the dimensional limbo, Canard sacrificed himself, passing the Mask and leadership on to his old friend Wildwing. He at first refused to wear it, and said he was just holding it until they found Drake, but during a battle with Dragonis he eventually overcame his guilt and wore it.
A constellation outlining the mask can be seen in the Mighty Ducks opening credits, the shot was used in the closing credits of the show.
It has been worn by every member of the Mighty Ducks team. Phil had tried but was unable to due to it's safeguard function because he is not a duck.
In Take Me to Your Leader, Dragonis revealed that even with The Mighty Ducks dead; the Saurians will never be safe unless the mask is destroyed.
It was damaged in The Human Factor, but Tanya Vanderflock was able to fix it.
When active, the mask turns a gold color and the eyes turn red. The mask lacks any form of head strap to secure it to the wearer's face.
Powers[]
- Transformation/Camouflage -- it can transform into a regular hockey mask; it also assumes this form when deactivated as Wildwing uses it as part of his goalie equipment. It is also in this form when not being worn.
- Scanner -- it can scan objects and see things not visible to the naked eye; likely to aid in the ability to see through the Saurians cloaking technology.
