Professor Wonder from WonderWorks
Professor Wonder is the mascot of the science amusement park WonderWorks. His top-secret research laboratory was located on a remote island in the Bermuda Triangle, but when an experiment went wrong, a man-made tornado lifted the lab and dropped it onto its current location. He’s a kooky professor with frazzled white hair and mustache that strongly resembles a certain Albert Einstein.
Luis Fernando Lopez from Grand Theft Auto 4
In Grand Theft Auto IV, Luis Fernando Lopez (voiced by Mario D’Leon) is a former member of the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, his life takes a turn when he meets “Gay Tony” Prince, a nightclub owner in Liberty City. They develop a friendship and work together, first with Luis as his bodyguard and later as his business associate.
Dread Ducky from Dark Deception
Dread Duckies are enemies that appear in the Stranger Sewers level of horror indie game Dark Deception, as bloodthirsty minions of the enemy boss Doom Ducky. Dread Duckies are hard mechanical duck floats atop a pair of shriveled rotten legs. They also wear traffic cones on their heads.
Karl Heisenberg from Resident Evil Village
In Resident Evil Village, Lord Karl Heisenberg is the patriarch of the Heisenberg family. He’s a genius engineer who runs the Heisenberg factory and serves Mother Miranda in the Eastern European mountains. He first encounters Ethan Winters in Castle Dimitrescu, where he entombs him in scrap metal and brings him to Lady Dimitrescu and the other lords.
Cassian Andor
In Andor, Cassian Jeron Andor (Diego Luna) is a thief whose planet was destroyed by the Galactic Empire’s mining project. He starts out as a cynic only looking out for himself, and gradually transforms into a reluctant revolutionary and then together with Jyn Erso and others, a hero of the Rebellion.
Doris the Ugly Stepsister from Shrek 2
In Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, Doris (voiced by Larry King!) is one of Cinderella’s step-sisters, who works as a bartender. She puts forth Puss in Boots to King Harold for the task of assassinating Shrek. Eventually she ends up as part of Princess Fiona’s inner circle. Whether she’s ugly is subjective — Simon Cowell certainly thinks so — but her makeup with gaudy eyeshadow, pencil-thin eyebrows, and prominent mole, is ultimately what makes or breaks this cosplay.
Penny from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Penny is a student in the same grade at the Academy as the Pokemon trainers. She’s rather shy and always wears her big fluffy Eevee bag on her back.
Mercury from Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls
Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls is a cartoon concept that was pitched to Hasbro by Lauren Faust. Although Hasbro passed on it, it eventually morphed into the highly successful My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. MWGG is inspired by the 90’s Strawberry Shortcake series, with a dash of the anime Sailor Moon, with the girls as the personification of different planets. Mercury’s winged sneaker-skates propel her through the cosmos in a shimmery silver flash at the speed of light.

Grusha from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
