Carbon Costume

Reginald Hargreeves is a character in the Darkhorse comic series, The Umbrella Academy. In the Netflix adaptation of the same name, he is portrayed by Colm Feore. Known as “The Monocle,” Reginald is an eccentric billionaire who adopted seven children with superhuman abilities. Dubbed the Umbrella Academy, he trained the seven to become superheroes. Due to his selfish yet mysterious motives, he was a less than stellar father figure. He can be downright abusive, such as locking Klaus in mausoleums and suppressing Vanya‘s powers. In the first episode, breaking news announces his death, and the Hargreeves siblings reunite to investigate. They meet him again in the second season when Five teleports them to the 1960s. Diego believes Reginald is involved with JFK assassination. Spoilers: Reginald is revealed as an alien (which never gets explained) and in the next timeline, starts the Sparrow Academy.

While there are two versions of Roxy Lalonde we went with the post-scratch version. Prior to the scratch Roxy was an adult and the mother of another character named Rose. After the scratch she is effectively her daughter’s age and joins in the adventures more fully.

There are many fan versions of Roxy that change the hair colors and other small details. For this costume, however, we’re trying to stick close to what you see on the screen. This means you’ll want a short white wig and white body paint. Then, using pink fabric paint, recreate Roxy’s pink decal on a white t-shirt. Finish off her look with a white skirt, black leggings, and white sneakers.

Wealthy playboy by day and masked vigilante by night, the Green Hornet’s story is not unlike most popular superheroes. It is his unique fighting style, heavily inspired by Asian martial arts, that sets him apart. The Green Hornet has entertained families since the 1930s, appearing on radio shows, a black-and-white TV show (starring Van Williams) in the 1960s, and even a movie (featuring Seth Rogen) in 2011.

Rikuo Uozumi has a part time job working at a convenience store called Nico2 Mart. He did graduate University, but he lacks the drive to pursue a career. His passion is photography. One day, while feeding crows the food his job will throw out, he meets Haru. She says she knows him, but Rikuo doesn’t remember her at all. Rikuo and Haru start to know each other more in Sing “Yesterday” For Me (Yesterday wo Utatte).

Poison Ivy is a character in the DC Universe animated series Harley Quinn. She has the ability to control plant life, and owns a greenhouse in her apartment. A talkative Venus Flytrap named Frank the Plant provides comic relief.  In the first episode, she convinces Harley that the Joker is more in love with capturing Batman than with her. While she matches Harley’s sassy and headstrong personality, she keeps a more level head and knows how to rein Harley in. Ivy was originally is engaged to Kite Man, but she admits her feelings for Harley at the end of the second season. She is voiced by Lake Bell.

Tails is Sonic the Hedgehog’s faithful sidekick. The two have been through so many adventures together that listing them all here – or the voice actors, artists, and writers involved – would create a book! Needless to say Tails always has Sonic’s back and this costume will always have yours!

There are a few ways to cosplay as Tails. The first uses body paint and clothes you might find in your closet to create the color of Tails’ fur. The other uses an orange body suit and white felt for Tails’ body and face paint to create his orange and white facial features.

Both looks require white gloves, slouchy white socks, red and a white sneakers, and – of course – two tails in addition to an orange wig and fox ears.

Natsumi Koshigaya is filled with ideas. She often has ideas on fun things to do with her friends. Her love for fun can get her in trouble, since she is more irresponsible about her actions. She doesn’t have the best grades, but is bright when it comes to nature and activities. Natsumi plays in the countryside with her older sister Komari, and her friends, Hotaru and Renge, in Non Non Biyori Repeat.

Fiona the Fox is one mean miss! She’s been with a variety of villainous crews and is particularly fond of Scourge the Hedgehog. She does have a few nice bones in her body and can do the right thing. But it all depends on how Fiona will come out in the end.

Fiona’s outfit matches her rough reputation. You can mimic her fox-like look with red ears, a red tail, a red body suit, a red wig, and face paint. Or you can just go with the ears and tail along with the rest of her outfit. The only color in her outfit is an orange hair bow, a nod to her original costume. Otherwise she wears a black crop top, black fingerless gloves, crossed black studded belts, black pants, and black boots. Boots with silver toes are hard to find but you can mimic the look with paint or metallic tape. Just be careful since either alteration is going to be permanent!
