Carbon Costume

Dollar Bill, real name William Brady, was a member of the Minutemen, the first team of superheroes in the Watchmen universe.  A corporate superhero sponsored by a bank, William was an exceptional athlete, but his life was cut tragically short when his cape got caught in a revolving door when he tried to stop a bank robbery and he was shot at point-blank range.  Dollar Bill’s costume consists of red, white, and blue pieces.  The blue unitard can be layered underneath red shorts, gloves, and socks, and then paired with a red cape.  To get his iconic dollar sign insignia, use a little white fabric paint on the blue suit.  Then, you can glue or sew white stars onto the bodysuit and cape.

Alice Green (voiced by Artemis Pebdani) is the mother of Bill Green on the Disney Channel show Big City Greens.  A military veteran, Alice has a no-nonsense attitude, but loves her family and would do anything for them.  Alice wears a pink dress and slippers, oversized glasses, and a pearl necklace.  She also uses a cane and has a hearing aid in her left ear.

Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons) is the main antagonist of the classic Disney film The Lion King.  Scar is the brother of Mufasa, the ruling king, who seeks to take power from his brother and nephew in this animal twist on Shakespeare’s Hamlet.  Scar is lankier than his brother, with a dark mane and a scar over his left eye.  There are two ways you could approach this costume.  First, you could purchase a Scar mask and pair it with the lower portion of another lion costume if you’d like to go for a literal interpretation of the character.  Otherwise, don’t be afraid to get creative with a wild black wig, some scar putty, and dangerously long nails for a more interpretive take on this iconic villain.

Remy Remington (voiced by Zeno Robinson) is a rich kid from Big City and Cricket Green’s best friend on the Disney Channel show Big City Greens.  Remy is smart but very shy before befriending Cricket and Tilly helps him break out of his shell.  Remy wears oversized glasses, a pink shirt, and a red vest with khaki shorts.  His short hair is tinged purple.

Rita Malone (voiced by Kate Winslet) is an adventurous rat in the Dreamworks film Flushed Away.  The polar opposite of Roddy St. James, Rita is adventurous and brave, not afraid to take risks or speak her mind.  Rita has long red hair and wears a green sweater paired with pants printed with the UK flag.  To recreate the appearance of a rat, you may have to mix and match pieces from different accessory sets.  The most realistic way to get the look is to use a prosthetic nose with a little spirit gum to hold it in place.

Bex Warren (played by Hari Nef) is one of the main characters in the satire film Assassination Nation.  Bex is best friends with Lily, Em, and Sarah.  As a transgender teen, Bex faces discrimination from some of her fellow students, which turns deadly after a hacker leaks important secrets about the residents of her hometown Salem.  One of Bex’s best looks from the film is the one she wears after the town descends into violence, which includes a red leather jacket that matches her friends’.  She also dons cropped black jeans and a multicolor striped crop top.  Finding an exact match for the top might not be possible, so don’t be afraid to focus on either similar colors or vertical stripes if you can’t get both in the same piece.  Similarly, a plain red trench coat can be substituted for an exact match, which might be kinder to your costume budget.

George Cooper, Jr. (played by Montana Jordan) is the eldest son of George and Mary, and the elder brother of Sheldon and Missy on the sitcom Young Sheldon.  Referred to as Georgie by nearly everyone, the eldest Cooper child is named after his father and is often derided by Sheldon and Meemaw for his lacking intellect.  Georgie’s style is far less buttoned-up than his younger brothers, favoring comfortable jeans and loose-fitting, sporty clothes.

Mysterion (voiced by Matt Stone) is the secret vigilante identity of Kenny McCormick on the adult cartoon series South Park.  Recreating Mysterion’s look might take a little preparation and effort, but it will make for a kickass costume once complete.  First, you’ll need to find a question mark headband.  It’s difficult to find one in green, so get the lightest shade possible and paint over it instead.  Use the same paint to adorn the front of your light purple jumpsuit with a capital ‘M.’  Cut a hole large enough to fit the question mark through the top of your hood (since these headbands are sold in a two-pack, you can paint one and use the other to measure the hole).  Then, once the headband is dry, put on your black eye mask first, then the question mark headband, and carefully slip the hood over top.  After that, all that’s left is to layer the white briefs and belt over your jumpsuit, pull on your boots and gloves, and dash off to keep the citizens of South Park safe!
