Yuno from Black Clover
Yuno (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki and Micah Solusod) is an orphan raised at the Hage church alongside his foster brother Asta in the anime series Black Clover. Yuno is proficient in his use of the magic arts and eventually receives a four-leaf clover grimoire to aid him in his quest to become the Magic Emperor. Yuno wears a black tunic and short pants with boots, as well as a pendant that he was wearing when he was left at the church as a baby. You will need two belts to wear crossed around your hips to finish his look, and you can also add the cape he wears after becoming a Magic Knight if you wish.
Crimson Bolt from Super
In the movie Super, Rainn Wilson plays the role of Frank Darbo, a kind but awkward man who creates the vigilante alter-ego Crimson Bolt in the aftermath of his wife’s death. The Crimson Bolt dons a homemade red suit with a hand-printed sigil. If you are feeling particularly crafty, you could make your Crimson Bolt shirt by hand as well with a red long sleeve tee and some yellow fabric paint. Otherwise, grab your ready-made shirt and layer as much padding as you can over your uniform, using red spray paint liberally when necessary to achieve the fully-crimson appearance of Frank’s superhero personality.
