While Fawkes’ image has been romanticized over the past 400 years, he was a criminal who tried to blow up a government building. It would be hard to imagine Americans one day wearing Timothy McVeigh masks to protest the government or corporate greed.

It’s amazing what a few centuries can do to transform an historical figure into an icon. Sometimes it only takes decades, as with Ronald Reagan.
