Orson is a character in the Scary Godmother books and movies. The children’s books were written and illustrated by Jill Thompson. As the son of vampire Count Max and Countess Ruby, he is the prince of the night. However, he’s often embarrassed by his parents’ outdated ways, and prefers modern culture. He’s nerdy and shy, but he also likes creepy things, as all vampires do. Orson is very curious about the human world, and would rather know more about them than drink their blood. For instance, he shows affection towards Hannah, his first human friend — and maybe his first crush.

Brandon Sampson (played by Andrew Horton) is the son of Sheldon and Grace Sampson in the Netflix series Jupiter’s Legacy.  Unlike his sister Chloe, Brandon has not shied away from the family business.  Though as the superhero Paragon, Brandon often struggles to live up to the ideals and legacy of his super-powered parents.  Paragon’s costume is blue, white, and red.  Thought it’s tough to find a red cape with a white lining, you could always purchase two capes in the correct colors and wear them together.  If you have time and are feeling particularly crafty, some grey fabric paint can add the finer details to his suit.

Flynn Rider is a main character in Disney’s Tangled. He is a scoundrel and a thief, and all the wanted posters can never get his nose right. He tries to steal Rapunzel‘s tiara, but she coerces him into taking her to see the floating lanterns. Surely enough, he falls in love with Rapunzel, and realizes his new dream is to be with her. Despite Mother Gothel interfering, Flynn helps the lost princess reunite with her family and reclaim her title. Unlike a typical prince, Flynn is rugged and witty. His real name is Eugene Fitzherbert, yet he goes by Flynn Rider, a fictional swashbuckler from his bedtime stories. He’s voiced by Zachary Levi, who you may know as Shazam.

Sheldon Sampson (played by Josh Duhamel), also known by his superhero moniker The Utopian, is a main character in the Netflix series Jupiter’s Legacy, based on the graphic novels of the same name.  At more than 100 years old, Sheldon feels out of touch with the current world, and even his own family.  Sheldon is married to Grace and they have two children, Brandon and Chloe.  The Utopian’s uniform consists of a white body suit with red cape and boots, as well as some gold details.  You can purchase a single bodysuit with these attributes, or if you’re more into building your own costume, you can assemble the pieces and put your DIY skills to good use by painting the Utopian’s chest piece with fabric paint.

In the Tekken series, King I is a luchador who wears a jaguar mask when fighting. He also sometimes wears typical wrestling gear like black trunks with blue tights and black elbow pads, or a more formal outfit with trousers, suspenders, and neck tie. But for our money, King’s outfit in Tekken 3 is tops with his casual leopard-print track pants, t-shirt, and cross trainers.
