"The Mask" is the name of the Franchise, which is what people know. The personalities of the Wearers are each expressed differently when donned. In the franchise, Stanley Ipkiss is but the first of a series of Wearers. He may be best identified with the Item, but he is hardly the longest to wear it.

In addition, as a wearer, Stanley was a mischievous trickster and therefore an antagonist, but IMO falls short of Evil/Wicked, thus fails as a Villain.
