Carbon Costume Men
Vulture
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Vulture (Michael Keaton) is the nickname of Adrian Toomes, the owner of a salvage company turned supervillain after the government and Iron Man put him out of business. Vulture clashes against Spider-Man, sometimes even while the latter is wearing his homemade costume.
Comic Book Guy
The Simpsons’ Comic Book Guy is notoriously pedantic, annoying, and above all else, lonely. You may want to trim the wig a little bit to really capture his receding hairline. Also: grabbing a slushie from your local 7-Eleven on the way to your event would definitely help breathe authenticity into this cosplay.
Tetsuo from Akira
Akira is a timeless and critically-acclaimed anime from 1988 in which a biker gang in cyberpunk Neo-Tokyo clashes with a secret government telekinesis program. One of the bikers, Tetsuo, is granted unstoppable telekinetic abilities after accidentally colliding with one of the program’s ESPers. Finally powerful for the first time in his life, Tetsuo begins to lose his grip on reality as he abuses his newfound powers and they begin to grow out of his control.
Eddie Kaspbrak
In Stephen King’s It, Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer) is a sickly hypochondriac boy, though his broken arm is quite real. He might get that from his domineering mother, who is constantly worrying about his health. He only truly feels well when he’s with this friends in the Losers Club, including the likes of Richie Tozier, and Bev Marsh.
Mike Wheeler
Woodsman from Twin Peaks
In Twin Peaks: The Return, the woodsman is a mysterious being associated with the Black Lodge that takes the form of a disheveled man with an Abe Lincoln beard. He’s a man of few words, often standing motionless except for the occasional “gotta light?”
Drax the Destroyer
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) is a powerful alien whose family was slaughtered by Ronan and Thanos. He joins Peter Quill and vows revenge on them along with Gamora. For the costume, use the gray body paint to touch up parts that aren’t covered by the costume, such as your neck and hands.
Good Burger Employee
In Good Burger, slacker Dexter (Kenan Thompson) and dim-witted Ed (Kel Mitchell) take summer jobs at the local fast food joint where they greet people with the line “Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger”. Complete the costume with engraved name tags that say “I’M ED” and “I’M DEXTER”.
