Carbon Costume Movies
Commando John Matrix
In Commando, Colonel John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a retired Delta Force operator who’s brought back when mercenaries kidnap his daughter, and it’s not long before Matrix himself is abducted. It turns out the mercenaries are made up of members of his former unit who have been decommissioned for enjoying the killing too much, led by a former South American dictator who wishes to carry out a political assassination and kickstart a military coup.
WWII Captain America
In Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) receives an experimental serum, with the aid of Peggy Carter, to transform his frail body into the peak of human ability in order to contribute to the US’s war effort. After a military mission, he’s made to don this colorful costume and tour the country to raise war bonds. Put into a deep sleep for 70 years, it’s not until he awakens to Nick Fury in present time that he puts away this vintage outfit for the Captain America costume we’re all familiar with.
The Human Spider
In Spider-Man, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) starts off with his newfound superpowers not by fighting crime and saving lives, but fighting in a wrestling cage match to win some money. With his homemade costume, he fights as The Human Spider, facing off against Bonesaw McGray (portrayed by Randy Savage). He looks just a bit amateur compared to the Spider-Man costumes made him later in the movie and by Tony Stark in the Avengers movies.
Moana
Moana Waialiki is the strong-willed daughter of a Polynesian chieftain. When fish become scarce and the coconuts begin to spoil on the island, Moana insists on exploring beyond the reef to find more fish. Finish off this cosplay by following this Moana makeup guide.
Angela Hayes from American Beauty
In American Beauty, Angela Hayes (Mena Suvari) is a high school cheerleader. She is the object of infatuation from her friend’s dad Lester Burnham, who is experiencing a midlife crisis. In his fantasy, she reveals what she’s got underneath her cheerleading uniform, and it’s a whole lot of roes petals.
The Spirit
The Spirit is a fictional masked crimefighter created by cartoonist Will Eisner. He’s a masked vigilante who fights crime with the blessing of the city’s police. I recommend finding a way to make your tie stick out to the side, probably by putting a wire into it.
Aaron Boone
Aaron Boone is the protagonist of Clive Barker’s cult classic fantasy/horror film Nightbreed, based on his novel Cabal. Suffering from nightmares of monsters, he discovers an underground city called Midian, and he is reborn a monster. Now he must protect this world and become its new leader, Cabal.
