Destro Mask, Destro figures, Destro history

Get a load of this kickin' version of the Destro mask. Higher-res version here.

Here's a French version of the Destro mask. He looks like a grumpy old man.

Wikipedia offers a nice summary of Destro. Destro's full name is James McCullen Destro XXIV. I never knew that.

history of the Destro mask:
The history of the Destro clan dates back to the mid-1600s in Scotland, when the Destro family began selling weapons to both armies fighting the civil war in England. When Oliver Cromwell discovered their treachery, he punished the Destros, by forcing their leader to wear a steel mask; however, instead of viewing the mask as a disgrace, they made it a symbol of honor, and since that time have passed it down from generation to generation, always to be worn by the head of the clan.
