Batman (Adam West)
In the campy 1960s TV series, Batman (Adam West) fights crime in Gotham while reminding kids to do their homework, drink their milk, and buy U.S. savings bonds. This version wears the skin-tight body suit and underwear briefs of the classic superhero. The chunkier ’60s Batman logo is hard to find, so this later version will do in a pinch or you can always make your own.
Heather Miller in Texas Chainsaw 3D
In Texas Chainsaw 3D, Heather Miller (Alexandra Daddario) is main protagonist, traveling with her boyfriend to collect an inheritance in Texas, where things will not end well. Alter the shirt so it goes off-shoulder and bares your midriff, and don’t forget the 90s style low-rise boot cut jeans!
Ben Hanscom
In Stephen King’s It, Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor) is a member of the Losers Club due to being overweight and bullied at school. He counts among his friends Richie Tozier, Beverly Marsh, and Eddie Kaspbrak.
Vulture
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Vulture (Michael Keaton) is the nickname of Adrian Toomes, the owner of a salvage company turned supervillain after the government and Iron Man put him out of business. Vulture clashes against Spider-Man, sometimes even while the latter is wearing his homemade costume.
Eddie Kaspbrak
In Stephen King’s It, Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer) is a sickly hypochondriac boy, though his broken arm is quite real. He might get that from his domineering mother, who is constantly worrying about his health.

Mike Wheeler
Nebula
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Nebula (Karen Gillan) is adopted by Thanos and raised as a sibling of Gamora. Sure she’s sadistic and evil, but at the same time it’s clear she’s jealous and hurt by the success of her older sister. For this costume, apply the metallic silver paint to face and left arm.
Drax the Destroyer
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) is a powerful alien whose family was slaughtered by Ronan and Thanos. He joins Peter Quill and vows revenge on them along with Gamora. For the costume, use the gray body paint to touch up parts that aren’t covered by the costume, such as your neck and hands.
Spider-Man Homecoming Homemade Suit
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is forced to return the fancy high-tech suit that benefactor Tony Stark gifted him after an incident with the Vulture goes awry. He resorts to wearing the amateur costume that he made during his early exploits that first made him famous.
Richie Tozier from It
In Stephen King’s It (2017), Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard) has the nickname Trashmouth Tozier, so you know he has a loud mouth and loves foul language. He’s the clown of the Losers Club. No, not literally the clown, that’s a fella named Pennywise.
