Powers and Abilities
Black Mask usually carries at least two automatic pistols. He is a capable hand to hand fighter, able to hold his ground against even accomplished martial artists such as Batman and Catwoman. He can take high amounts of damage, while continuing to fight. Black Mask's most important weapons are fear and intimidation. He is known for his brutal and sadistic torture techniques, especially on the face. Black Mask also uses his connections to gather information on his enemies, and then hits them at their weak points, such as family and friends.
His black mask, per the events of the New 52, has hypnosis-like mind-control abilities which also extend through the material of the masks of his gang, the False Face society, rendering them under his direct control.
