Biography[]
Past[]
Like the other Masked Monsters of the Black Cross Army, Warship Mask was an ordinary human who was captured and experimented on by the Black Cross Army. Brainwashed and given a head built to resemble a warship, Warship Mask was successful in helping his masters in their goals and was among the Masked Monsters sent to the Gobi Desert to help Iron Man Mask General Temujin.
Goranger[]
When the Gorangers first emerge to counter the Black Cross Führer and kill Gold Mask, Warship Mask is not present due to being in the Gobi Desert but joins Temujin in Japan after Sun Halo Mask's death.
Warship Mask is sent to steal the blueprints for a new rocket that is ultimately used to fit upon a battleship that is to be used as the Black Cross' new flying base. Infiltrating an EAGLE Rocket base to steal the blueprints for a new rocket that is ultimately used to fit upon a battleship that was to be used as the Black Cross' new flying base. His second, more crucial scheme was to help Temujin discover a means to stop Daita Ooiwa's YTC Radio, which ends up ruining his balance in their initial battle and continued to prove a problem for the organization. Sending out Cyborg Q (a girl cyborg given the name "Aya") to seduce and win the trust of Ooiwa, she ultimately leads him to the warship base where Kirenger is captured and his mask ripped to prevent him from summoning the YTC and to send a message to the Gorenger as he, Temujin and the Black Cross Furher launch their new flying weapon and use it to terrorize EAGLE Bases en masse.
Ultimately, it is Cyborg Q's defection to the Gorengers that leads to Warship Mask's downfall, with the female spy returning the blueprints to the rocket to them even at the cost of being fatally attacked by Warship Mask. The angered Kirenger tries to use the YTC Radio, but the Masked Monster is now immune to its frequency until Cyborg Q, in her final words, gives him the concept to raise the frequency high enough to create a beam that stuns Warship Mask long enough for a Gorenger Storm; the same beam ultimately takes down the flying battleship even as Temujin and the Fuhrer escape.
Warship Mask is later recalled by the narrator as one of the many Masked Monsters who fought the Gorangers but was subsequently killed.
