James Moriarty
The infamous nemesis of Sherlock Holmes on the hit BBC show Sherlock, James Moriarty (Andrew Scott) matches Sherlock Holmes in wits, intelligence and cunning. Unlike Sherlock, Moriarty uses his talents for criminal purposes, establishing a wide underworld network. He enjoys setting elaborate traps that can take years to complete, toying with people and generally being cruel and ruthless. He dresses with the same care and attention to detail as he does when planning a heist or manipulating Sherlock.
Henry Standing Bear
Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips) is a member of the Cheyenne reservation in Wyoming and the best friend of Sheriff Longmire in the TV show Longmire. Standing Bear owns the popular bar The Red Pony and often helps Walt out on his cases. This leads to trouble down the road, especially when Standing Bear winds up in the middle of the sheriff’s office and the Cheyenne Reservation police unit. He dresses simply in a red plaid shirt and jeans. For an extra touch, carry around a glass jar filled with the names of people others want you to kill.
Dr. Evil
Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) is the main villain of the Austin Powers trilogy. He is a parody of James Bond villain Blofeld and notorious for his nonsensical plans and pinky pose. He’s often accompanied by his miniature clone, Mini-Me.
Commander William Riker
The First Officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) performs his duties with confidence, courage and a heap of charm. Although he has the experience and skill to captain his own ship, he chooses to stay with the Enterprise as First Officer. The rakish Riker proceeds to tour the galaxy, saving lives and sweeping women off their feet – with the occasional trombone solo. As a Starfleet officer, he wears the Command Red uniform.
Oliver Pike
Oliver, otherwise known as “Pike”, is the rebellious love interest of Buffy in the 1992 film Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He is a lone wolf who fends for himself and takes no shit from anyone if he’s put up to the task. His character is portrayed by Luke Perry.
Director Krennic
Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) is a villain from the Star Wars film Rogue One. He the Imperial weapons developer overseeing the construction of the Death Star, a space station with the capability to destroy an entire planet.
Inspector Lestrade (BBC)
Greg Lestrade (Rupert Graves) is an Inspector with Scotland Yard who calls upon Sherlock Holmes when cases take a perplexing turn. He has worked with Sherlock long enough to not be bothered by the brusque, rather rude manner Sherlock has, and the two are as close to friends as Sherlock allows. Lestrade is cool, confident and always open to Sherlock’s suggestions. He wears an unbuttoned black suit with no tie and a large overcoat.
Commander William Adama
William Adama (Edward James Olmos) is Commander of the interstellar battleship Galactica and Admiral of the fleet on the hit sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica. A stern, taciturn, moral man who bears the weight of responsibility for the last lives of humanity, Adama protects the fleet from threats both inside and out. A man of tradition and respect for the military, he wears officer duty blues with Commander and Admiral pips and patches.
Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin
We find Kenshin roaming the Japanese countryside, carrying his reverse-blade sword (sakabatō), in search of redemption for the lives he has taken. He has made a vow to never kill again. Kenshin is known throughout Japan as the legendary swordsman and assassin, Hitokiri Battōsai. However, we see that he is really a soft spoken and humble person – quite the opposite of what would be expected.
Casey Jones from TMNT (1990)
Casey Jones (Elias Koteas) was first introduced to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in an altercation with Raphael. The two of them actually fought each other in a New York City park, just after Raphael stopped some punk from stealing a woman’s purse and Casey was about to beat them to a pulp for that whereupon Casey turns his aggression on Raphael. The 1990 movie version dresses slightly differently from the late ’80s cartoon Casey Jones.
