Makuta's original mask was the Mask of Control which has the capability of mind control. He wielded a large hammer, which he used to forge his creations. When Makuta was about to be freed, the Toa stopped him by combining their elemental powers, resulting in Makuta remaining trapped in the Shadow Realm and the Toa returned to the stars, where they originally came from.Īs a Maskmaker, Makuta was able to create masks of incredible power.

Makuta then used the mask to force Umarak to put it on, allowing him to control the hunter and transforming him into a monster. He then directed Umarak to locate fragments of the Mask of Ultimate Power, scattered across the island when it was destroyed, in order to free him from the Shadow Realm. This resulted in one Skull Creature, Kulta the Skull Grinder, obtaining the Mask of Creation and planning to melt it down at Ekimu's Forge.Īfter the Skull Creatures were defeated, Makuta bode his time within his prison, now using Umarak to obtain his former mask, the Mask of Control.

Makuta and the city were sent to the Shadow Realm as a result of the mask's explosion.ĭespite having been purged into a deep slumber, Makuta's spirit had remained active since then, and had influenced the Skull Creatures to do his bidding and search the island for the Masks of Power. Ekimu then knocked the mask off of his face, destroying it and seemingly destroying the city, while both of the crafters were put into a deep sleep. Makuta attempted to demonstrate his new mask at the Capital City, but upon donning the mask its power proved to be too much. In violation of a sacred law that no mask could contain the power of more than one element, Makuta forged a heretical mask that contained the power of all six elements, dubbed the Mask of Ultimate Power. This plan backfired, however, causing Makuta's jealousy to reach the breaking point. Makuta would attempt to prove himself as the superior of the two by giving Masks of Power to the islanders. Makuta was a legendary crafter of masks on Okoto, but was often overshadowed by his brother, whose masks were more favored by the island's denizens.
