Carbon Costume Men
Bill Green from Big City Greens
Bill Green (voiced by Bob Joles) is the father of the Green Family in the Disney Channel series Big City Greens. A hardworking farmer and handyman, Bill is the father of Tilly and Cricket. Bill’s clothes typically consist of a green shirt, red hat, and sensible blue jeans. His pants are caked in dirt and have a tear in the left knee.
Riddler from The Batman
In the latest film adaptation for the DC hero Batman, Riddler (played by Paul Dano) is a sinister terrorist intent on exposing the dark secrets of Gotham’s elite. The Batman‘s 2022 version of Edward Nashton is a far cry from previous iterations, and the grittier tone of the film is reflected in the character’s far more understated costuming. To recreate this Riddler, you’ll need an army green anorak and balaclava. Use some white fabric paint to add his custom insignia to the jacket and layer a pair of clear framed glasses over the hood, in the style of the Zodiac Killer, reportedly a strong influence on the updated characterization.
Dollar Bill from Watchmen
Dollar Bill, real name William Brady, was a member of the Minutemen, the first team of superheroes in the Watchmen universe. A corporate superhero sponsored by a bank, William was an exceptional athlete, but his life was cut tragically short when his cape got caught in a revolving door when he tried to stop a bank robbery and he was shot at point-blank range. Dollar Bill’s costume consists of red, white, and blue pieces. The blue unitard can be layered underneath red shorts, gloves, and socks, and then paired with a red cape. To get his iconic dollar sign insignia, use a little white fabric paint on the blue suit. Then, you can glue or sew white stars onto the bodysuit and cape.
Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is a villian from the DC Comics. He first appeared in Green Arrowvolume 3, #12, written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by Phil Hester. He is often an enemy of Green Arrow and Batman, only speaking in noises as per his namesake. He is a master marksman with advanced handgun training. For this costume guide, the white paint to draw the circles onto the balaclava.
Scar from The Lion King
Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons) is the main antagonist of the classic Disney film The Lion King. Scar is the brother of Mufasa, the ruling king, who seeks to take power from his brother and nephew in this animal twist on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Scar is lankier than his brother, with a dark mane and a scar over his left eye. There are two ways you could approach this costume. First, you could purchase a Scar mask and pair it with the lower portion of another lion costume if you’d like to go for a literal interpretation of the character. Otherwise, don’t be afraid to get creative with a wild black wig, some scar putty, and dangerously long nails for a more interpretive take on this iconic villain.
Remy Remington from Big City Greens
Remy Remington (voiced by Zeno Robinson) is a rich kid from Big City and Cricket Green’s best friend on the Disney Channel show Big City Greens. Remy is smart but very shy before befriending Cricket and Tilly helps him break out of his shell. Remy wears oversized glasses, a pink shirt, and a red vest with khaki shorts. His short hair is tinged purple.
Chef Hatchet
Chef Hatchet is a supporting character in the Total Drama series. He is the chef of the show, but he isn’t really known for his fine cuisine. Just like the show’s host, Chris McLean, he finds joy in tormenting the campers. Chef Hatchet will sometimes wear ridiculous costumes in accordance with the challenge or theme of the episode.
Kronk
Kronk (voiced by Patrick Warburton) is a supporting character in the Disney animated movie, Emperor’s New Groove, and the main character in its sequel, Kronk’s New Groove. He is Yzma’s bumbling yet loveable henchman. What Kronk lacks in brains, he makes up for in brawn — and culinary skills, as indicated by his homemade spinach puffs. Despite working for Yzma, he is a genuinely kind person. While this is an easy DIY costume, we provided a ready made option as well.
Félix Madrigal from Encanto
In Encanto, Félix (voiced by Mauro Castillo) is the fun-loving husband of Pepa Madrigal, which makes him the tío or uncle to Mirabel. Although he doesn’t have any magical gifts, Félix has a special ability to keep his wife’s emotions in check, which in turn keeps the weather of Colombia in check. You can use red satin ribbon to embellish down the shirt.
Dudley Dursley from The Order of the Phoenix
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dudley Dursley (Harry Melling) and his gang torment his cousin Harry Potter on the playground.
