Carbon Costume Men
Professor Chaos
In South Park, Professor Chaos is the alter ego that Butters takes on after he’s exiled from the crew for being too uncool. As Professor Chaos, he spreads discord in the world by doing things like spraying aerosol cans to destroy the atmosphere, and no doubt wasting lots of aluminum foil.
The Karate Kid
In The Karate Kid, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) learns how to defend himself from bully, Johnny Lawrence, after he is taken under Mr. Miyagi’s wing. Daniel’s a slow learner however, and doesn’t understand that he can’t master moves like The Crane until he first masters skills like wax on and wax off.
Orko
Orko is a Trollan who’s accidentally transported by a cosmic storm to Eternia, where he saves a young He-Man. Despite having magical powers they are usually unpredictable and backfire on him. Though he keeps his face hidden, this doesn’t seem to hinder him from finding a girlfriend.
No-Face
In Spirited Away, No-Face is a lonely spirit who follows Chihiro Ogino after he develops an interest in her sincerity. He soon becomes obsessed with her though and tries to win her affections with gold and stolen tokens for the bathhouse.
Guybrush Threepwood
In the Monkey Island game series, Guybrush Ulysses Threepwood considers himself a mighty pirate, though others often bungle his name and mistake him for a floors inspector. Among his quirks are a dislike of heavy syrup and an irrational fear of porcelain.
Bilbo Baggins
In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is a hobbit who’s settled down comfortably in Hobbiton. That is until the wizard Gandalf and 13 Dwarves recruit the unlikely hero to help them on their quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug.
Dewey Cox
In Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly) distills the essence of the country musician, parodying the likes of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Elvis Presley all in one go. His rags-to-riches story starts as a poor smell-blind kid who rises to become a musical phenomenon.
Randy Bodek
In Loverboy, Randy Bodek (Patrick Dempsey) is a college slacker whose parents force him to get a job. He eventually finds work as a delivery boy for the Mexican-themed Señor Pizza, although he discovers that he can earn much bigger tips from lonely housewives by serving “extra anchovies”.
The Phantom
The Phantom is one man in a line of crimefighters whose responsibilities are passed along from father to son. He doesn’t have any superpowers but relies on his reputation of being immortal to strike fear into criminals. He was the first superhero to start the trend of wearing a skintight costume, which unfortunately included the skintight underwear.
