Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) is the superhero identity of Carol Danvers, a former U.S. Air Force pilot whose DNA was accidentally fused with a Kree, which imbued her with superhuman strength, energy projection, and flight. When Earth is caught in the middle of an intergalactic conflict between two alien factions, it’s Captain Marvel to the rescue.

Thanos

In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos (voiced by Josh Brolin) is a powerful Titan warlord who seeks the Infinity Stones to complete the Infinity Gauntlet, which would give him enough power to wipe out half of the universe, including many of The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Nebula

Nebula

In Guardians of the Galaxy, Nebula (Karen Gillan) is adopted by Thanos and raised as a sibling of Gamora. Sure she’s sadistic and evil, but at the same time it’s clear she’s jealous and hurt by the success of her older sister. For this costume, apply the metallic silver paint to face and left arm.

Drax the Destroyer

Drax the Destroyer

In Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) is a powerful alien whose family was slaughtered by Ronan and Thanos. He joins Peter Quill and vows revenge on them along with Gamora. For the costume, use the gray body paint to touch up parts that aren’t covered by the costume, such as your neck and hands.

WWII Captain America

In Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) receives an experimental serum, with the aid of Peggy Carter, to transform his frail body into the peak of human ability in order to contribute to the US’s war effort. After a military mission, he’s made to don this colorful costume and tour the country to raise war bonds. Put into a deep sleep for 70 years, it’s not until he awakens to Nick Fury in present time that he puts away this vintage outfit for the Captain America costume we’re all familiar with.

Doctor Strange

After a car accident ends Doctor Stephen Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) career as a neurosurgeon, he embarks on a journey of healing in the Far East. There he encounters the Ancient One, who teaches him the mystical arts, with some help from the Cloak of Levitation and Eye of Agamotto.

Winter Soldier

Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) is Captain America’s brother-in-arms until his plane explodes in Soviet airspace. The Russians rescue him, using the opportunity to program him to work for them as an assassin code-named the Winter Soldier. They also patch him up with a bionic arm, all the better for assassinating targets.

Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron

The twin sister of Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), real name Wanda Maximoff, has the ability to harness magic and use hypnosis and telekinesis. Sweet and caring, but extremely powerful, she’s battled mental illness for a long time. Originally supporting Ultron against the Avengers, Scarlet Witch battles her inner demons to figure out which side she should really fight for. To complete your Scarlet Witch cosplay, follow this Scarlet Witch makeup tutorial.

Quicksilver in Avengers

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is Pietro Maximoff, the fleet-footed twin brother of Scarlet Witch who can move at superhuman speeds. He’s not to be confused with the Evan Peters Quicksilver, who’s, like, totally different.

Agent Carter

Agent Peggy Carter

Captain America’s former main squeeze, Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) works as one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top agents. As one of the first female agents, she’s often put to the test to prove her grit. Her talents as a marksman, combined with her skills as a top agent, make her a force to be reckoned with.
