I've long thought Vader's look was based on ancient Sith armor. Palpatine did not just pick it at random or make up something scary on his own.
Darth Bane's appearance in The Clone Wars implies just this.

I'm still hoping the guy's not actually a villain and all this Faux Vader stuff is just deliberate misdirection.
A Vader-masked character not being a villain would be an awesome twist!
