Very handy for a Dramatic Unmask.Įven if possible in Real Life, this would probably be a bad idea. The helmet often seems to activate without any apparent interaction or input from the wearer it just extends or collapses with minimal fuss whenever the situation demands. When needed again, it can be summoned back in the blink of the eye. However it works, this helmet can fold or vanish into the armor as if it no longer exists. It operates by using Applied Phlebotinum, Functional Magic, storing components in Hammerspace, through Impossibly-Compact Folding, or maybe just a Hand Wave. And then they reveal themselves with an unbelievably cool helmet that just slides, clicks, folds and does all manner of other mechanical origami. Picture the scene: the character is wearing their Powered Armor or other such suit.

For them, there's a simple solution: the Collapsible Helmet.

Heroes or villains who avert Helmets Are Hardly Heroic still rarely want to bother about putting it on, or removing the helmet and carrying it along.
