Mummy

Lore & Background

The mummy mask is one of the many enchanted masks that Elizabeth Tyne carries in her bag, each modeled after a particular character and imbued with chaos magic from Limbo. According to the source, the mummy mask specifically 'transforms her into a mummy.' This transformation allows Tyne to adopt the abilities, traits, and even speech patterns associated with the mummy form. The mask is part of a larger arsenal that includes masks modeled after Frankenstein's Monster, a werewolf, a vampire, a Hulk, a Spider-Man, and a Kaiju, among others. Tyne first received her collection of masks from Madelyne Pryor, ruler of Limbo, who used S'ym's magic to empower her and transform her into Hallows' Eve during the lead-up to the 'Dark Web' storyline. The masks are kept in the bag she carries and are central to her identity as a supernatural hero and member of the Blood Hunters.

In Their Own Story

During the 'Blood Hunt' storyline, Elizabeth Tyne, as Hallows' Eve, encounters Dagger, White Widow, and Elsa Bloodstone while wearing a vampire mask. They mistake her for an actual vampire, but she clarifies she had been wearing the mask to throw off other vampires loyal to Varnae. Later, when the Bloodcoven members Smoke Eater, Cruel, and Unusual retreat, Hallows' Eve uses a witch mask in an attempt to cast a spell to send Dagger to safety, though the spell instead harms the vampires. While the source does not provide a specific narrative moment where the mummy mask is used, it is confirmed as one of the masks in her collection, available for her to deploy in battle alongside her teammates in the Blood Hunters, a supernatural team that battles the super-powered vampires called the Bloodcoven.
