Carbon Costume Men
Jonah Simms from Superstore
On Superstore, Jonah (played by Ben Feldman) is the idealistic new addition to the Cloud 9 team.

Jonah typically wears comfortable clothing that helps him perform his job duties as Cloud 9 and is almost never without his blue uniform vest.
Dynamike from Brawl Stars
In Brawl Stars, Dynamike is an old-timey miner with a short fuse and explosive temper. As a brawler, Dynamike has low health and extremely high damage output, lobbing dynamite sticks and the barrel bomb strapped to his back to deal splash damage. There’s also Coach Dynamike that features him dressed comfortably in athleisure.
Detective Miles Hoffman from Stumptown
Detective Miles Hoffman (played by Michael Ealy) is an intense and dedicated detective at the Portland Police Department who is quickly pulled into both the personal and professional life of Dex Parios during a kidnapping case. On the TV show Stumptown, based on the comics, Detective Hoffman is one of the more fashion-forward characters, wearing business casual plain clothes as he tracks down the city’s criminals.
Jack Kline from Supernatural
On the CW’s Supernatural, Jack Kline (played by Alexander Calvert) is a nephilim born after his father, Lucifer, impregnates his human mother, Kelly Kline. Jack is new to the world, but possesses terrifying power, which can make it difficult for him to navigate his life as a hunter with Sam, Dean, and Castiel. For an extra detail, you may be able to get gold-colored contacts from your eye doctor to mimic Jack’s golden irises as a result of his status as the most powerful nephilim.
Josh Futterman from Future Man
In Hulu’s Future Man, Josh Futterman (played by Josh Hutcherson) is a janitor for Kronish Laboratories by day, but a die hard gamer by night. When he beats the seemingly unbeatable Biotic Wars game, he is met by soldiers from the future who believe he is the savior they and the rest of humanity have been waiting for.
Connor Murphy from Dear Evan Hansen
Connor Murphy is a character in the musical Dear Evan Hansen. Not much is known about his life. He suffers from anxiety and depression, and perhaps substance abuse, as it’s hinted that he took pills to kill himself. He’s a reserved loner who acts cold and cruel towards others — even his sister, Zoe. He is the catalyst for the plot, as his suicide sparks the confusion with Evan’s letters. Despite his death, Connor reappears in “Sincerely, Me” as a figment of Evan’s imagination, and a ghost when Evan doesn’t know how to rectify the situation. Mike Faist originated the role on Broadway.
Matt Hargreaves from Eddsworld
In Eddsworld, Matt Hargreaves is recognized by his ginger hair and square chin. Matt is obsessed with his looks, and wears either a black or purple hoodie, a green overcoat, blue jeans, and black shoes. Sometimes he wears a black tee with “I ♥ M@” written on it. He is the animated counterpart to creator Edd Gould’s real-life friend.
Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad
Mike Ehrmantraut (played by Jonathan Banks) is a rarity among modern crime dramas. He’s a bad guy with a code that he sticks to. Ehrmantraut might have been a crooked cop but he has his own idea of right and wrong. And he’s not afraid to kill or die for those ideas.
Cosplaying him is a pretty simple affair. Ehrmantraut was not one for flash since that would draw too much attention and his costume speaks to that. Sensible shoes, grey slacks, a button up, and a black windbreaker make up most of the outfit. Purple nitrile gloves will help keep the crime scene clean of prints while a bald cap completes the look!
Grey McConnell from Stumptown
On Stumptown, a TV show based on the comics of the same name, Jake Johnson plays Grey McConnell. Grey is an ex-convict who has turned over a new leaf and now runs a legitimate business. As the owner of the bar Bad Alibi and best friend/one-night stand of Dex Parios, Grey often finds himself helping Dex with her P.I. work and struggling to stay away from the life of crime he once knew. Grey wears comfortable clothing suited to a longtime bachelor and bartender.
Andy Bernard from The Office
Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms) is a Dunder Mifflin employee from The Office who transfers from Stamford to Scranton with Jim when the branches are merged together. Andy often refers to his time at Cornell University, and especially his involvement with a college a cappella group. Andy has anger management issues which he takes classes for, and he is also romantically involved with both Angela and Erin at different times. Andy often wears pastel colors, sweater vests, and bow ties.
