I've got your number, Mr. Matt Trakker - and your number is up!

Warning: Spoilers
While in San Francisco, VENOM steals a crystal skull that can see through anything, and Mayhem uses it to discover Matt's identity as the leader of MASK. VENOM capture Scott in order to force Matt to surrender both the Trakker fortune AND all the MASK agents' masks and data files in exchange for Scott's safety.

I definitely enjoyed this episode, because it was the closest VENOM ever came to defeating MASK.

It also shows how important a role the masks themselves play in the MASK agents' lives, since they protect their civilian identities on top of being weapons.

This was something the second season of the cartoon AND both the U.S. and UK comics all threw away and made it so everyone on both teams knew the other's secret identities.

Numb Skull

M. A. S. K. was a great concept. Kenner toys took the best parts of competitor Hasbro's most popular boys toy lines--G. I. Joe and Transformers--and sort of mashed them together. The resulting toys were very cool. The tie-in cartoon series, a requirement for any toy line in the '80s, was not.

M. A. S. K. Is a flat-out lousy show. The writing is bad, the animation is worse and the voice acting is cringe-inducing. Its one saving grace is what I consider to be the best cartoon theme song of all-time.

"Eyes of the Skull" is a textbook example of all of the ways that M. A. S. K. fails as a cartoon.

Do not accept this mission.
