Billy Mitchell is a brash and colorful arcade player who stars in the documentary King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. He’s best known for playing the first perfect game of Pac-Man, holding the world record in Donkey Kong, and, naturally, selling a line of hot sauces.

These purple, furrier versions of minions make their debut in Despicable Me 2. Despite their creepy appearance, there’s something that’s very familiar about them.

In Despicable Me, Gru is a super-villian who exploits three little girls he adopted in his quest to one up his competitor, Vector. While trying to balance criminal activities with ballet lessons, he soon learns there’s more to life than world domination.

Lucy Wilde is an agent of the Anti-Villain League who persuades Gru (i.e. uses her Lipstick Tazer on him) to assist them in fighting a new super villain in Despicable Me 2.

Life in California can be tough for a teen, especially when you spend your free time investigating various crimes, including the murder of your best friend. When she’s not spending time in her dark room, you’ll find Veronica hanging with biker gangs or her bestie, Wallace. If you find yourself in trouble, you better enlist the help of the former popular girl turned private eye.

Buffy is a cheerleader turned butt-kicking slayer who found a home in Sunnydale, right on top of the Hellmouth. When she’s not taking out vamps or other nasties, she loves spending time with pals Willow and Xander or training in the library with Giles. Everyone knows (even vampires), if you’re smart you’ll be sure to side with The Chosen One.

In Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, Gadget Hackwrench acts as the team’s pilot, mechanic, and jack of all trades. Not only is she the object of affection for Chip and Dale, but she’s worshipped by a Russian cult. Golly.

Monterey Jack, affectionately called Monty by the Rescue Rangers, is an Australian mouse with a taste for adventure and cheese. One whiff of cheddar and he’ll do anything — anything — to feed his insatiable addiction.

Most people remember Andre the Giant for his role in The Princess Bride. For wrestling fans he is a major part of WWF history. A magnificent presence on his own, Andre didn’t need a flashy costume to stand out in the ring. While you may not be able to pull off the height, you can replicate his look with a black singlet, though you should cut one strap off if you want to be authentic.

The Undertaker’s Western mortician and zombie-like style has made those with a darker side feel a little less geeky when it comes to watching wrestling. It has also given people an excuse to wear a leather duster. But if you really want to get the full look of The Undertaker you’ll need to layer on the black eyeliner. Otherwise your menacing look won’t look as menacing.
