Deathstroke
In the DC Comics, Deathstroke (real name Slade Wilson) is a mercenary and assassin. Originally an enemy of the Teen Titans, he’s worked his way up the supervillain chain to face off against the likes of Green Arrow and Batman.
Richmond Valentine
In Kingsman: The Secret Service, Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) is a billionaire who dabbles in eco-terrorism. His fashion palette suits his name, and he’s able to layer casual and chic like no other: a blazer over a dress shirt over a sweater over a polo.
Daredevil Black
In the Marvel comics and Netflix television series, Daredevil is the alter ego of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox). He fights crime as a lawyer by day, and as a vigilante by night. As if that weren’t enough, The Man Without Fear — as he’s called — does this all while blind, relying on his other heightened senses.
Colonel Sanders
Colonel Harland Sanders is the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and we have much to thank him for that. As the face of KFC, he’s always seen in a white suit and western tie, even on the side of a bucket of chicken.
“Scarface” Tony Montana
In Scarface, Tony Montana (Al Pacino) is a Cuban refugee who arrives in Miami with nothing in his pockets. Through determination and a strong dose of violence, he rises to become a powerful drug kingpin. Don’t forget to accessorize with Tony’s “little friend”.
Doc Sportello
In Inherent Vice, based on the Thomas Pynchon novel, Larry “Doc” Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) is a hippie private investigator. He takes assignments from questionable clientele in Los Angeles, getting himself caught up in all sorts of intrigue.
Quicksilver in Avengers
In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is Pietro Maximoff, the fleet-footed twin brother of Scarlet Witch who can move at superhuman speeds. He’s not to be confused with the Evan Peters Quicksilver, who’s, like, totally different.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
In Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) escapes a doomsday cult where she’s been kept in an underground bunker for the past 10 years. She moves to New York, where she has to make some adjustments. At least she’s used to confined living spaces.
