Iron Mask Bomber (鉄仮面ボンバー, Tetsukamen Bonbā in Japanese) is a boss from Super Bomberman 5.
Description[]
He is a member of the Fiendish Bombers and is statistically the second strongest of them all, rivaled only by Baron Bombano. He is not quite the leader, but rather, both the military and acting leader of the gang, as well as Baron Bombano's second-in-command. He is one of three possible bosses in Zone 4. His arena includes 3 Rogians and a Pit Hole, and he starts the battle riding Warooi. He can use Pierce Bombs and has the Punch, Kick and Power Glove abilities. Once his Rooi is destroyed, he will summon Rogians onto the battlefield by electrokinesis, but will only do so when the total number of Rogians in the arena drops below 3. The Exits will not appear unless both Iron Mask Bomber and all of the enemies are defeated.
Like most of the bosses of this game, he is able to collect Power-Ups on the field and deals no damage upon collision. He takes 5 hits to defeat (7 in 2P mode) and yields a score of 5500 points. He also drops a Pierce Bomb item when defeated.

Trivia[]
- Even though he is often pictured holding an ax (one-handed with a short handle in the official art, and both-handed with a long handle in the near-end of the intro of game, as seen in the sprite), he does not use it in his boss fight.
- He has the second most seniority out of all the prisoners in Bomber Prison. However, it's Baron Bombano that has the true largest seniority out of the Fiendish Bombers.
- It is obvious as to what Iron Mask Bomber's crimes really are, as the instruction manual reveals that he is an ax murderer.
- Despite being the statistically second strongest member of the Fiendish Bombers, Iron Mask Bomber is rivaled only by Baron Bombano. This is true because Iron Mask Bomber is the acting leader and military leader of the gang, making him Baron Bombano's second-in-command.
