George Cooper, Jr. (played by Montana Jordan) is the eldest son of George and Mary, and the elder brother of Sheldon and Missy on the sitcom Young Sheldon.  Referred to as Georgie by nearly everyone, the eldest Cooper child is named after his father and is often derided by Sheldon and Meemaw for his lacking intellect.  Georgie’s style is far less buttoned-up than his younger brothers, favoring comfortable jeans and loose-fitting, sporty clothes.

Mysterion (voiced by Matt Stone) is the secret vigilante identity of Kenny McCormick on the adult cartoon series South Park.  Recreating Mysterion’s look might take a little preparation and effort, but it will make for a kickass costume once complete.  First, you’ll need to find a question mark headband.  It’s difficult to find one in green, so get the lightest shade possible and paint over it instead.  Use the same paint to adorn the front of your light purple jumpsuit with a capital ‘M.’  Cut a hole large enough to fit the question mark through the top of your hood (since these headbands are sold in a two-pack, you can paint one and use the other to measure the hole).  Then, once the headband is dry, put on your black eye mask first, then the question mark headband, and carefully slip the hood over top.  After that, all that’s left is to layer the white briefs and belt over your jumpsuit, pull on your boots and gloves, and dash off to keep the citizens of South Park safe!

Suguru Geto (voiced by Takahiro Sakurai and Lex Lang) is one of the primary antagonists of the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.  Suguru was once a student at Jujutsu Tech alongside Shoko Ieiri and his former partner Satoru Gojo.  Suguru became known as one of the worst curse users after he used his powers to massacre non-sorcerers.  Suguru wears dark blue robes and has long black hair that is partly tied back.  You can find high-quality versions of his uniform for cosplay, though if you are flexible with the appearance and want to save money, you can always mix and match different pieces to recreate the look instead.

In Amazon Prime’s comedy-drama The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Miriam (Midge) is a Jewish-American housewife living in 1950’s New York City. With her impeccable wardrobe, elegant home, rigorous beauty regimen, and a family of her own, she appears to have everything figured out. But when life takes an unexpected turn for the worst, she discovers a hidden talent for stand-up comedy and hits the road to stardom with her amateur talent manager Susie Myerson. Midge flaunts countless iconic looks throughout the series, but nothing says Mrs. Maisel more than the all-pink ensemble from the show’s first episode. This costume will have you screaming “We got the Rabbi!” outside your local deli.

Actor Kirk Fogg is the host of the 90s Nickelodeon game show, Legends of the Hidden Temple. During the first season, he announced each event, asked tiebreaker questions, and handed out the Pendants of Life. He also playfully interacts with Olmec. The image on the right features Kirk from the recent movie adaptation. Two minor alterations to the updated outfit are a gray t-shirt instead of white, and a red patch on his button down. It also seems the branded pouch was swapped for a regular brown pouch.

Lonewolf is the former military hitman protagonist of the mobile game Lonewolf: A Sniper Story.  A talented marksman, Lonewolf undertakes contracts from The Assembly organization in a bid to get closer to its leader, a man named Mando.  Lonewolf wears a plain bandana tied around the lower half of his face to conceal his identity, as well hide a nasty scar on his left cheek.  The rest of his uniform is practical, with a sturdy jacket, backpack, and slightly distressed jeans.  Though he mostly relies on his sniper rifle, Lonewolf also carries a pistol.
