Looks more like the evil head (Lucifer) of the Cyclons from the original Battlestar Galactica (played by little Felix Silla - I’ve got his autographed picture in that costume and Carter almost looks just like him. Needs a little more foil).
Do you know an EMP would do to Carter when he is wearing that thing? Nothing. No brains to fry. Might get a good head tan though.
