[paulinoid]Yeah but Thomas More didn’t have those nifty masks that we can put on.[/paulinoid]

Pretty much. The whole idea of Guy Fawkes mask and regalia was to give him a sort of “superhero” appearance, plus the whole history behind the Gunpowder Plot. Yeah, Fawkes’ motives were not really the reason behind it all, but the symbolism of his act was part of the mythos.

So yeah, in short, they wanted to dress him up like Fawkes.
