Men
Alfred Pennyworth from Batman
Alfred Pennyworth is as iconic as Batman himself. He’s the man who raised Bruce after the murder the Waynes. He is the man who keeps track of the Bat family when the number of vigilantes grows. And he’s the one that grounds Bruce when the burden of the superhero life gets to be too much.
There are a few ways you can pull off an Alfred cosplay. All of them involve a black suit, black bow tie, and black shoes with a white button down shirt. You can leave the shirt as-is or replace the buttons with black buttons. A fake mustache is a must, of course. When it comes to Alfred’s hair, though, you have more choices. You can use a bald cap or you can opt for white pomade and slick your hair back while getting Alfred’s mature, distinguished look.
Koichi Hirose
Koichi Hirose is a character in the anime Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. He is the deuteragonist of the fourth arc and appears again briefly in the fifth arc of the series. At the start, Koichi is a timid high schooler in his first year. After he befriends Josuke Higashikata, he finds himself entangled in the world of Stand users. Like Josuke, he becomes a stand user and wields Echoes.
Eikichi Onizuka from Great Teacher Onizuka
Eikichi Onizuka (voiced by Wataru Tagaki and Steve Blum) is the main character of Great Teacher Onizuka. Eikichi was formerly a delinquent and the leader of the Onibaku bike gang, though he later aspires to teaching after a run-in with a pretty girl at a mall. Eikichi wears many outfits throughout the series, though one of his most recognizable might be the white suit and red tie he wears to teach a troublesome high school class.
Skinny All-Might
All-Might is a main character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. His real name is Toshinori Yagi. After sustaining permanent damage from One For All, his declining health reduced him to a very skinny man. The effects of his wounds make it difficult to sustain his muscular, empowered form for long durations of time. Due to the devastating impact on his heroic abilities, All-Might passes the Quirk to Deku. However, he must keep the secret that this is All-Might’s true form. Use the black eyeshadow to give your eyes a sunken appearance, and size up on the clothes to make this outfit extra baggy.
All-Might
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 Natsworthy from Mortal Engines
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.
Lord Bravery from Freakazoid
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 from Resident Evil Village
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 from Flushed Away
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 from The Smurfs
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.
