Marvel Civilian Disguise
Are you a well-known superhero looking for intel while incognito? A celebrity crime fighter just trying to have a quiet lunch out on the town? Then the “I’m Just a Civilian” starter pack is for you! In almost every Marvel movie, one of our cherished Avengers dons a baseball cap, a hoodie, and a pair of sunglasses to blend in with their surroundings. Depending on whether you are trying to emulate Tony Stark’s Iron Man, Steve Rogers’ Captain America, or another member of the team, you can play around with the color of your hat, your glasses, and what you wear beneath your hoodie or jacket. This is a great way to use your favorite superhero t-shirt as part of a simple–but clever–costume.
