Actually, Warior135,
That mask is known as the Guy Fawkes mask, it's not something he wore, it's a recreation of his face,

Also, Fawkes didn't light a single fuse under the Parliament building, he was caught guarding the gunpowder barrels. It's speculated that Guy Fawkes wasn't even exactly aware of the treason fully, but just a pawn in the operation.
The masks and all come from the movie V for Vendetta though. V did take upon himself the Guy Fawkes theme when fighting a dictatorship in the UK and actually blowing up the Parliament building. Nobody's relating to a Catholic plot to take over the British government when they put on the mask and gather in public or mess around on the internet - they're actually relating to V's statements of ideas being bulletproof and his lone fight against a fascist regime. Let's not forget the grand finale, where everybody showed up with a black rope and the Guy Fawkes mask.
All in all, I only see one rather notable act from Guy Fawkes himself - on fix execution he jumped off the stage, committing suicide.
