Wanda Maximoff in Avengers: Infinity War
Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) evolved so much over her arc within the MCU. She went from a jaded villain to a hero struggling to do what was right while trying to find herself at the same time. Her most iconic battlefield look was in Avengers: Infinity War when she faced off against Thanos’ forces and held her own against impossible odds. You can add your own mix of unique silver rings to the costume, but the red leather coat and corset paired with the tight black pants and heeled boots truly make this look.
Steve Rogers in Captain America: Civil War
Steve Rogers is best known as Captain America (Chris Evans), the first Avenger. But in Civil War, he breaks away from the rest of the team and takes a few allies with him. He spends much of the movie out of his uniform and in this casual but iconic look. A little hair gel keeps his hair in place while all the brown leather makes it clear he’s nobody to mess with, even without his shield.
Wakako from Wakako Zake
Wakako Zake is a 26-year-old woman who enjoys treating herself. She usually goes out to eat and drink alone, especially when she had a rough day at work. She likes her personal space when it comes to savoring a good meal at a great spot she finds. Wakako lives her best foodie life in Wakako Zake.
Musa from Run with the Wind
Musa Kamara is a second year Engineering student at Kansei University. He is an international student being sponsored from Tanzania. Musa joins the track team created by Haiji, and trains along side the rest of the team on their journey. His kind personality is a soft spot in the team. However, Musa’s gentle nature doesn’t stop him from being an ace athlete in Run with the Wind (Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru).
Sam Wilson from Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Sam Wilson (played by Anthony Mackie) has been a staple in the MCU since his introduction in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Using the code name Falcon, he has been at Steve Rogers’ side through every battle since the resurgence of Hydra. In the comics he is as close to Steve as Bucky is, sharing such a deep bond with the original Captain America that the two can formulate plans with little more than glances and nods of the head. They have a similar relationship in the MCU, though it is a little more understated.
It is no wonder, though, that Sam is the one Steve chooses to carry on the legacy of Captain America when he retires. Although fans still aren’t sure exactly how that will work out, we got a few hints when Disney+ dropped its Super Bowl spot. Viewers got a glimpse of Sam in a grey pullover and comfortable jeans with his iconic shield on his arm. It’s a simple look but the understated costume just highlights how comfortable he feels with the shield on his arm!
Black Mask/Roman Sionis from Birds of Prey
Black Mask is the main antagonist in the DC movie, Birds of Prey. Also known as Roman Sionis, he’s a narcissistic crime lord who doesn’t take no for an answer. Roman rules his nightclub as well as his crime empire with an iron fist. He even threatens to kill Harley Quinn unless she brings him the diamond. He is cruel, ruthless, and likes to display his power by torturing others. He is played by famous actor Ewan McGregor. If you want a more screen accurate suit, you can check out this exact replica.
Doomer Girl
The Doomer Girl meme is one of a series of memes. She is supposed to represent the emo or goth girls that became much more common in the early part of the Millennium. In some cases she is used to deride such women but in other cases she is used to demonstrate their viewpoints and reactions to things.
This is why she has black hair and very simple makeup with almost no color except her pink blush. And although the meme is very pale, the blush used in this example works on all skin tones! A pendant choker and black sweater rounds out the visible parts of the meme while the meme’s use helps fill in the rest. Black pants with laces up the side and black velvet boots with chunky heels are all perfect for this aesthetic and finish out the meme for a head-to-toe costume.
Yato from Noragami
“Toss a coin to your wannabe god of fortune, happiness, and war,” says nobody ever, but that doesn’t stop Yato from giving his aspiration the old college try. This Noragami protagonist’s sense of fashion is contemporary for the time – in the present day, he sports a comfortable tracksuit, practical boots, and a funky gray-blue scarf (that’s supposedly an old bath towel). We eventually learn that Yato’s scared stiff that everyone will forget him, so let’s memorialize this character by re-creating his most popular outfit.
Mulan Kato as Green Hornet
In 2018, Dynamite Comics ran a short arc in which the daughter of Kato picked up the mantle of the Green Hornet following the death of Britt Reid. Mulan is a highly skilled martial artist like her father, trained in nearly 500 forms of hand-to-hand combat. Mulan’s Green Hornet costume is a more fitted and updated version of the 1960s adaptation, swapping the trench coat for a stylish asymmetrical top with an attached cape.
The Joker from Batman: Killing Joke
The Joker played by Mark Hamill in Batman: Killing Joke gives us a little more insight into Joker’s past. We learn of the atrocities that have taken place and what has caused Joker to become one of the most classic villains in the DC universe. Joker is a great costume for any gender and if you enjoy working with make up this will be a fun one!
