All-Might is a main character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. He is a famous Pro-Hero, even better known as the  Number 1 hero, who saves people with a smile. For that reason, Deku looks up to All-Might as a role model, and he wants to save people as well. His desire to do right as a hero convinces All-Might to pass along his One for All Quirk to him. He is also a teacher at U.A High School, where he must maintain his muscular form to conceal his secret. His design is meant to resemble American comic book heroes, so use the black face paint to draw the lines on his face.

Tom (played by Robert Sheehan) is a young historian working on the city of London. He idolizes Thaddeus Valentine and wants to serve his city through his work at the museum. His life takes a wild turn, however. And for all that he starts out a London boy, it’s not long before he’s swept up into wild adventures that take him far from home.

A windswept brown wig starts off any good Tom cosplay. Unless, of course, you already have dark hair of a similar cut, in which case all you need is a little styling. From there you’ll need to layer a dark blur shirt under a silver brocade vest and add a black military-style jacket. Black pants, a black belt, and black boots finish off a look fit for anyone hanging onto their roaming city.

In Freakazoid, Lord Bravery (real name Nigel Skunkthorpe) is a British superhero loosely based on comedian John Cleese. Looks can be deceiving — he resembles a Roman gladiator, but constantly gets browbeaten by his wife and mother-in-law. Despite his red cape and blue tights, Lord Bravery hates any comparisons to Superman.

Chris Redfield (voiced by Jeff Schine) returns in Resident Evil Village, attempting to save Rosemary Winters from an evil bioweapon named Miranda.  This also puts him at odds with Ethan Winters throughout the game.  Chris’ look has been updated since his original introduction in the series.  Whether you decide to go for his more tactical or casual outfit, some of the pieces will remain the same, including the gloves, turtleneck, and boots.  For his more casual look, you’ll pair these with black jeans and a peacoat, while you’ll swap out for a pair of tactical pants and a low-profile chest rig if you decide you’d like to recreate his more military-inspired apparel.  Refill cartridges for an airsoft gun can help fill out the rig for a more complete look.

Roddy St. James (voiced by Hugh Jackman) is post rat who gets flushed down the toilet in the Dreamworks film Flushed Away.  Roddy teams up with Rita Malone to find his way home.  Roddy’s penthouse wardrobe consists of doll clothes.  At the start of his journey, he’s wearing a fancy tuxedo, though he eventually loses the jacket and bow tie.  To apply a rodent nose prosthetic, you’ll need spirit gum or liquid latex, but don’t forget to purchase remover as well to make the process of taking it off more comfortable.

Gargamel is a wizard and the main antagonist of The Smurfs television program, comic books, and associated films.  Gargamel created Smurfette, who was later brought to life by Papa Smurf, but has sworn to eliminate the Smurfs.  He also has an orange cat named Azazel who helps him antagonize the Smurfs.  Gargamel is a balding man with dark hair and bushy eyebrows.  He wears a black robe with green patches on the elbows and a purple patch on the abdomen.  If you want to go the extra mile and add these embellishments to a black monk’s robe, you can use colored felt squares cut to size and either sewn or glued in place.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, while the Dursleys intended to send their nephew Harry Potter to the local state school, they enrolled their own son Dudley (Harry Melling) in the fancier Smeltings Academy. Dudley proudly models the Smeltings uniform, which consists of a maroon tailcoat, orange knickerbockers, a straw boater hat, brown socks pulled up to the knees, and a knobby wooden cane called a Smelting stick, which was mainly used to hit other people.

Linus McLoon is a main character in the French-Korean animated series, My Giant Friend, or Linus & Boom. Linus is a twelve year old boy, but he is secretly a hero. He is the leader of the Astronomy Club. Linus likes riding jet-boards, and is shown to be the best jet-boarder in town.
