Pennywise the Dancing Clown from It (2017)
In the 2017 remake of It, Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgard) is an ancient, trans-dimensional evil spirit that takes the scariest form of all — a creepy killer clown. Compared to the 1990 adaption of Pennywise, this one is lankier and childish but creepy as hell all the same. While wearing the clown costume, roll around in the dirt to give it the right weathered look.
Mantis
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) uses are telepathic powers to sense others’ emotions when she makes physical contact with them. Despite this ability she remains innocent and rather naive, which makes sense given that she’s spent most of her life in solitude with Peter Quill’s father Ego. Who would have guessed the antennas would be sold at Hot Topic of all places?
Laura Kinney (X-23)
In Logan, Laura Kinney (Dafne Keen) is a mysterious young mutant who is revealed to be a clone made from Wolverine’s blood.

In 1989’s Batman, Joker (Jack Nicholson) becomes the Joker as we know him after mobster Carl Grissom sets up his second-in-command to be killed in a vat of chemicals.

Nicholson’s is a classic look that’s since been re-interpreted by Heath Ledger and Jared Leto.
