Carbon Costume Men
Inigo Montoya
In The Princess Bride, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) is a Spanish swordfighter who seeks revenge on Count Rugen for the murder of his father, as he will so often remind you: “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”
Dread Pirate Roberts
In The Princess Bride, Dread Pirate Roberts (Cary Elwes) is a pirate with a mythical reputation who is feared across the seven seas for his swordfighting skills. It’s revealed that Dread Pirate Roberts is actually a succession of individuals who pass on the name, with farm boy Westley as the latest.
Ragnar Lothbrok
In Vikings, Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) starts as a farmer whose ambitions lead him to join raids in England. Through his successes he soon becomes one the most feared Norse raiders of Europe. Of course, Ragnar’s costume wouldn’t be complete without his trademark hairstyle.
Lee Everett
In The Walking Dead video game, Lee Everett (voiced by Dave Fennoy) was a history professor before the outbreak, but now he’s just one of the world’s few survivors. He hasn’t lost his humanity though, acting as a parental figure for the young Clementine.
Vincent Adultman
In BoJack Horseman, everyone is seemingly oblivious to the fact that Vincent Adultman, who likes to hang out in bars, is actually three kids in a trench coat with a broom for one hand and a mannequin hand for the other. Princess Carolyn even goes so far as to date this “stud”.
Robert Lutece
In BioShock Infinite, Robert Lutece (voiced by Oliver Vaquer) is a quantum physicist who, with twin sister Rosalind, escorts Booker DeWitt to the city of Columbia. He keeps track of coin flips on a chalk sandwich board, but it’s hardly needed when you always toss heads.
Ed Hochuli
Ed Hochuli is the most famous referee in the NFL, known for his barrel chest, chiseled jaw, and burmese pythons that even dwarf the football players he officiates. I want to be Ed Hochuli.
Leonard Hofstadter
In The Big Bang Theory, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) is an experimental physicist and roommates with Sheldon Cooper. He may be a geek, but he’s perfectly normal compared to the rest of the gang.
Qohen Leth
In The Zero Theorem, Qohen Leth (Christoph Waltz) is an eccentric and reclusive computer programmer for Mancom. He files a request to work from home so that he won’t miss a phone call that will give him the meaning of life. Instead, he is visited by Bainsley.
