Thursday Morning Riddle

Whether comic or tragic, I’m drama’s known face;
On the ice or the diamond, I’m just in one place;
I’m on hand on the airplane, but needed in space;
And if made out of iron, I hide a disgrace.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Nilda. See comments for answer.

    Pure guess here. Mask?

    O?

  3. tf Says:

    Wait, “mask” works.

    Indeed it does. MASK is correct. Way to go, Nilda!

    And welcome, tf!

    I also got an e-mail with the correct answer from Ro, but after Nilda posted.

    Line 1: Drama is symbolized by the comedy and tragedy masks

    Line 2: In both hockey and baseball, only one player per team wears a mask

    Line 3: Oxygen masks are handy to have on the plane, but very much needed in space

    Line 4: The Man in the Iron Mask
