I was feeling a bit silly/nostalgic when I made this.

 

Might've made a few PSCT/OCG errors, but meh.

 

CnC?

Oh dear. Masked Heroes. Memories of Danklaw are arising again.

 

But, it appears as if you're taking the mediocre route when designing this card. Which, is fine, I'm no big fan of HEROes myself. But the problem I see here is that adding this card to the Masked Hero archetype is absurd. No offense, but its effect is horrible. Unless you have a face-down Mirror Force / Fiendish Chain / Magic Cylinder, this thing's going to die faster than a Winged Kuriboh. The only thing holding it back is its summon effect. It's too much of a nerf to be good, even when casually dueling. It's even worse than Vapor, and nobody runs him legitimately.

 

The only thing I recommend you change, at all, is his summon effect. Instead of making it last until the end of your opponents next turn, why not just make it last until the end of the turn he's brought out? Or, just remove the part wherein he negates his own effect, which would be its saving grace.

 

For example...

 

Lore: Must be Special Summoned with "Mask Change" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is Summoned: Halve its ATK and negate its effects until the end of your opponent's next turn. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. If this card attacks an opponent's monster: You can pay 3000 Life Points; until the end of the Damage Step, halve the ATK of that monster, and if you do, this card gains that lost ATK, and if it does, all battle damage your opponent takes from that battle is halved. You can only use this effect of "Masked HERO Viewtiful" once per turn. You can only control 1 "Masked HERO Viewtiful".

 

Or...

 

Lore: Must be Special Summoned with "Mask Change" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is Summoned: Halve its ATK and negate its effects until the end of your opponent's next turn until the end of the turn this card was Summoned. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. If this card attacks an opponent's monster: You can pay 3000 Life Points; until the end of the Damage Step, halve the ATK of that monster, and if you do, this card gains that lost ATK, and if it does, all battle damage your opponent takes from that battle is halved. You can only use this effect of "Masked HERO Viewtiful" once per turn. You can only control 1 "Masked HERO Viewtiful".

 

Honestly, I'd recommend combining the two together. If you did, then you'd have an epic monster that might actually make running Blazeman in a Masked Hero deck worth it! You'd get to send a Shadow Mist to the grave for a free Bubbleman (or another Shadow Mist), or you'd be able to run Flash Fusion and make an Absolute Zero and wipe your opponents field at the end of the turn. With this new card, and how good it appears to be, really, it could open doors for Masked HERO players everywhere (something I'm both happy and unhappy to hear about).

There is, like, no point to this card. It's too weak. You get to wait 1 turn and pay 3k LP for Dark Rebellion's effect. I suggest:
