Monster Girl from Invincible
Monster Girl is a character in the comic book and animated series, Invincible. She’s hand-picked by Robot to be part of the new Guardians of the Globe. Her ability is monstrous transformation, giving her incredible brute strength. However, this power is a curse; every time she uses it, she becomes a year younger. After Rex teases her appearance, she transforms into a giant green monster and rightfully beats him up. We discover Robot has been closely studying her physiology. Grey DeLisle voices Monster Girl (and Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender!) in the show now streaming on Amazon Prime. Brush out the bangs for the ponytail wig and trim them just above your eyebrows. You can skip the wig if you have brown hair and bangs already.

He is also friends with Eve Wilkins and Amber Bennett. He is openly gay in the comics and the show. Broadway star Andrew Rannells voices William in the show now streaming on Amazon Prime.
Atom Eve from Invincible
Samantha Eve Wilkins, aka Atom Eve, is a character in the comic book and animated series, Invincible. She is a member of the Teen Team. Her ability is atom manipulation, which manifests in telekinesis, regeneration, and flight. Like Mark, she balances being a superhero with a normal life, and she attends high school as Eve Wilkins. To the disappointment of her parents, Eve rejects college and instead leaves to use her powers to help the world.

Molly from Lumberjanes
Molly is one of the main characters of the comic series Lumberjanes. Molly is a skilled archer who also enjoys knitting, mythology, and puzzles. Bubbles, the raccoon that sleeps on Molly’s head is a friend she made the first day of camp. Molly is Mal’s girlfriend, and their personalities often offset one another. Molly wears cargo shorts and a two-tone green shirt and styles her blonde hair in a braid. Rather than have a wild animal sleep on your head, a raccoon cap can achieve a similar effect.
Sinestro from Green Lantern
Thaal Sinestro (played by Mark Strong) is a member of the Green Lantern Corps. And when Hal Jordan joins the Corp, Sinestro becomes his mentor. Not that he’s happy about it, of course. And though he saves Hal in the end, Sinestro’s fate isn’t exactly a happy one.
The hardest part of Sinestro’s costume is his non-human appearance. You can either use black hair spray and then slick your hair back with pomade or you can use a bald cap and black body paint to recreate his hair line. In either case you’ll also want a pair of pointy ears and red body paint, as well as a fake mustache.
With that part covered you’ll want to get a bodysuit and the Green Lantern Corps ring next. Then you can finish off the look with green gloves and green boot covers.
Omni-Man
Nolan Grayson, aka Omni-Man, is a main character in the comic book and animated series, Invincible. He comes from the planet Viltrum, and his kind uses their super abilities to protect other planets. On Earth, Nolan is known as Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero. When he falls in love with Debbie, they start a family and raise their son, Mark Grayson. He trains his son on how to harness his inherited powers and become a hero like him under the moniker Invincible. However, after he murders the Guardians of the Globe, the audience realizes he’s up to something more sinister. J.K. Simmons voices Omni-Man in the animated series, which is a perfect casting choice given his appearance as J. Jonah Jameson in the Spiderman movies.
Invincible
Mark Grayson, aka Invincible, is the protagonist of the eponymous comic book series and animated show. He is the son of Nolan Grayson, aka Omni-Man, and Debbie Grayson. Due his father’s lineage, Mark is half-Viltrumite, and thus possesses similar powers. This includes super speed, super strength, and the ability to fly. As he steps into his new identity as Invincible, Mark must balance his normal teenage life with protecting the Earth. Walking Dead star Steven Yeun voices Mark in the show, now streaming on Amazon Prime.
