Carbon Costume Men
Captain America
A frail Steve Rogers takes an experimental serum and becomes Captain America, a World War II hero and leader of the Avengers. As the name suggests, he’s pretty patriotic, garbing himself head to toe in the stars and stripes. Most recently, Cap has been played by actor Chris Evans.
Billy Brown
In Buffalo ’66, Billy Brown (Vincent Gallo) is finally released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Sensibly, the first thing he does when he gets out is kidnap a tap dancer named Layla and “span time” with her at the bowling alley.
Lorne Malvo
In the Fargo TV series, Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) is a hitman that passes through Bemidji. In a chance encounter with Lester Nygaard in a hospital waiting room, he convinces Lester about the virtues of violent revenge. Aces!
Aiden Pearce
In the video game Watch Dogs, Aiden Pearce hacks computer systems in order to bring justice to those responsible for his niece’s death. Don’t let the baseball cap fool you — Aiden is a gray hat hacker all the way.
Lester Nygaard
In the FX television adaptation of Fargo, Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) is a polite and meek insurance salesman from Bemidji, Minnesota. After he’s pushed over the edge by his old high school bully and then his abusive wife, boy does he embraces his darker side.
Tight Pants Jimmy Fallon
“Everybody’s talking about his tight pants.” Well it’s hard not to talk about or look at Jimmy Fallon’s tight white pants especially when he’s performing those hip shaking moves. Now, the important question is who wore it better – Will Ferrell or Jennifer Lopez?
John Constantine
Based on Alan Moore’s Hellblazer comics, John Constantine (Matt Ryan) can see the supernatural in our everyday world. He must do all he can, including the morally questionable, in the fight against the evil paranormal. You can simply substitute a black tie to dress up as Keanu Reeves’s Constantine. Whoa.
Hannibal
We all thought Anthony Hopkins’s Hannibal Lecter was the final word, but Mads Mikkelsen manages to take it to the next level in the NBC series Hannibal. His artful cooking and impeccable fashion sense are enough distraction that you’ll forget what he’s serving you for dinner…
Charles Xavier aka Professor X
In X-Men: Days of Future Past, reformed playboy Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) is out to save mutant kind. The world’s most powerful telepath has a mission, and his mission has come from the future. He and his team will team up to stop Mystique’s plan before it ruins the future for all mutants.
