Bizarro
Bizarro is a villain in the DC comics. He is the parallel antithesis of Superman. He was created in an accident involving Superboy and a duplicating ray. Years later, Lex Luthor creates another Bizarro. Superman comes to find out about multiple Bizarros who originate from Bizarro World, or planet Htrae. Place the iron on superman logo backwards, or simply paint over it. Bizarro is often seen with a sign that says “Bizarro #1” around his neck. Use the chalk to write on the chalkboard and hang it around your neck. You might need a longer piece of twine.
Karl Mordo
Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is an antagonist in Marvel’s Doctor Strange. In the comics, he is referred to as Baron Mordo, though a few different characters make up the movie’s portrayal. Once a sorcerer, he is a former member of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. At first, he is a student under the Ancient One and a mentor to Stephen. But when he realizes the truth about the Ancient One, Mordo cannot cope, which gives way to his reveal. In a post credit scene, Mordo confronts Pangborn and steals the mystical energy he uses to walk, which hints at his larger role as a villain in the upcoming sequel.

Canada from Hetalia
Matthew Williams, also known as Canada, is a side character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. While he sometimes gets mistaken for his brother, America, he acts nothing like him. Whereas America is bold and outspoken, Canada is shy and passive. Other countries tend to forget he exists, which makes him nostalgic for when England and France used to pamper him. Even pet polar bear, Kumajirou, asks “who are you?” to which he sheepishly responds, “I’m Canada.”
