Another theory I'd had was that perhaps Reza had become Iron Mask after the previous one was retired, but this episode kinda shoots that down immediately.

There's definitely a strong case for Mikhail being Reza at this point. I can see why you also suspected Topeng Besi, maybe due to his intense focus on Bima, but he still has his own story for another time to explain that.

And if it's somehow not a mind-controlled Mikhail I won't know what to think given the very obvious setup.

Rasputin's pulling the old Rita Repulsa move of "make evil [x] to destroy [x]". I mean, he did have five Power Stones sitting around, with only Topeng Besi using Biru. May as well use another one to put more pressure on Bima. And if Mikhail's the user for Power Stone Hitam, then.... Well, I'll save that talk for next episode.
