"'''Masked HERO''' " (M·Hero{{Ruby|Ｍ・ＨＥＲＯ|マスクドヒーロー}} ''Masukudo Hīrō'') is a subclass of "[[HERO]]" sub-[[archetype]] mostly consisting of [[Monster Card|monsters ]] used by [[Jaden Yuki]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]].
They are currently the only monsters shown to perform [[Transformation Summon]]s and [[Double Attack (mechanic)|Double Attacks]].
While the "[[Elemental HERO]]" archetype is said to be based off of American superheroes, it can also be assumed that the "Masked HERO" archetype is a salute to Japanese Super Sentai or Kamen Rider heroes. In addition to "Kamen" meaning "Masked", there are several similarities between the two, such the recurring "form changing" and transformations of Kamen Riders. The Double Attacks are also similar to the original Kamen Riders' (1 and 2) "Rider Double" techniques.
