Carbon Costume

Nicolas Cage plays himself in the film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. We follow his character in the film that is a struggling actor with financial issues, until he receives an offer to appear at wealthy fan’s birthday party named Javi, where they both run into trouble. Nicolas learns to have empathy for Javi despite his initial negative impression of him, and they become partners in crime.

This film takes place in the summer on an island so Nicolas sticks to this theme with a white striped shirt, sunglasses, and a white summer hat. He pairs this with a stylish brown suede bomber jacket.

Stain (voiced in Japanese by Go Inoue and in English by Robert McCollum) is one of the initial antagonists in the series My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia.

He is a villain known as the Hero Killer, and one of the main antagonists early on in the series, focusing on Iida’s part of the story.

Stain has extremely spiky and messy hair, and tiny red eyes that are framed by a tattered cream mask. He wears a thick red headband, a tattered red scarf, a black and grey tank top/vest combo, black pants, and a large variety of holsters, with spiked boots with knee guards, black bracers, a tan belt with a holster, and cream arm wraps. Also several blades.

Miss Hattie (voiced by Kristen Wiig) is a minor antagonist in the Illumination film Despicable Me.  She is the cruel operator of Miss Hattie’s Home for Girls where Margo, Edith, and Agnes live before they are adopted by Gru.  Miss Hattie has brown hair and wears a pink cardigan with a red plaid skirt.  The ruffled collar of her blouse sticks out over the collar of her sweater, and she wears a red gem brooch at her throat.  Complete your costume with a coiffed wig, sheer stockings, and red shoes.

Baki Hanma (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki and Troy Baker in the 2018 anime) is the protagonist of Baki the Grappler.  Baki trains as a fighter so he can surpass and defeat his father Yuujiro Hanma as vengeance for the death of his mother Emi Akezawa.  Baki has shaggy brown hair and a beauty mark over his lip that resembles Emi’s.  For your costume, you’ll need a pair of red shorts to emulate Baki’s preferred fighting uniform.  While finding an exact match might be difficult, plenty of options exist that are very similar, so choose your favorite.  You’ll also need white hand wraps and athletic tape, and you can use a pair of open-toed grip socks to protect your feet.  Baki is covered in scars from his hard years of training, and you can use scar wax to recreate these.  Depending on how many you decide to wear, you may need extra wax.  Choose a concealer in your skin tone (the one linked comes in many) to conceal the edges.  Finally, use a black eyebrow pencil to add your beauty mark and you’re ready for a fight!

Darrel “Darry” Curtis Jr. is a character in The Outsiders. He is the oldest Curtis brother and leader of the household. Since the passing of their parents, he has taken on the role of a parental figure. Darrel is mostly serious, but at times his concern for his younger siblings can manifest into anger, which causes him to act rashly. Ponyboy describes his older brother as “someone who grew up too fast and handling things no one his age should have to.” Patrick Swayze plays Darrel in the 1983 movie adaptation.

Lars is a member of the Go Jetters, a group of four heroes who travel the world in the British animated children’s series. Lars is the resident expert mechanic who can fix just about anything. Even though he’s British, he loves the Eiffel Tower in France. His catchphrase is “Geographic!”

Maria is a major character in the 2012 RPGMaker pixel horror game, Mad Father.

She is the assistant to Aya’s father, as well as his lover, and works as the family’s maid. Aya isn’t close with her, and doesn’t like her very much, but Maria does try to keep her at least relatively safe for a good part of the game. This leads to Aya reconsidering their bond.

Maria has coppery-brown hair worn in thick braids and tied with light pink ribbons, bright green eyes, and she wears red lipstick. Her outfit as the family’s maid and Alfred’s assistant is nurse-like, with a white headpiece, a long sleeveless green dress, and a white, high collared under layered shirt with puffed sleeves. The type of shoes she has is unclear, due to the skirt length on the sprite.

Mr. Compress (voiced in Japanese by Tsuguo Mogami and in English by Kent Williams) is part of the League of Villains in the series My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia.

He is very showy and more of an entertainer oriented criminal, much in the way that Gentle is. His quirk is compressing things into small, tealy-blue marbles.

We haven’t seen his full face in the anime yet, so mild spoiler warning, but he’s got upswept brown hair, and light brown eyes. He has a variety of patterned white masks that he wears over a black ski mask that leads all the way down his collar, a burnt orange button up shirt worn with the collar popped, a green bolo tie, a black vest, black pants, white and black high boots, reddish-orange gloves, and a brown top hat with a red band and a very long white-ish feather sticking out of it.
