Victor west character design 1

Description

Concept for the webcomic I'm planning. Basically, it's about four girls who make comics based on an obscure celebrity (Victor) and his wife. This is one of those comics, where Victor's a superhero.

The character design, backstory and premise is a mash-up of many superheroes, like Batman, Iron Man (the power armour), Rorschach and The Question (coat and hat).
One thing I'm bothered with is the inspiration for his helmet. It's mostly based on the tall guys' heads from this Dresden Codak comic [link] but there's also more. I've found that around the Middle Ages or in the 20th century, people would wear these masks shaped like bird heads, probably as a gas mask. Problem is, I don't know if there's actually such a thing or if it's made up. I've seen the bird-mask once in a book and in this comic [link] (second-last panel). Anyone can help clear my mind? I can't seem to find it in Wikipedia.

I'm still not sure what to use as his superhero name. I've thought of Mantis, but that's taken by BOTH Marvel and DC, apparently.
