Carbon Costume

Doctor Fate refers to a number of heroes who have done the gold help and cape of a DC Comics staple.  No matter which Doctor Fate is your fave, a few things remain the same; the hero has supernatural powers and the costume also includes a blue bodysuit with yellow gold accessories.  To create your Doctor Fate, start with a blue full-body suit.  Then, you’ll need a golden cape, gold gloves, and gold boots of your choosing.  Finish the book with a gold utility belt.  Replica Doctor Fate masks can be a bit pricey, but you can get creative with yours by using a gold hood beneath a polarized face shield or a plastic full-face mask instead.

Sprite (Lia McHugh) is a character in the Marvel film, The Eternals. She’s an Eternal, an immortal, superpowered being created to eradicate Deviants to help populate the Celestial race. Sprite and nine other Eternals get sent to Earth but are forbidden to interact in human conflicts. She has the ability to project realistic illusions. She is close friends with Sersi, but she also has an unrequited crush on Ikaris, which causes jealousy. At the end, Sprite requests that Sersi uses the remaining energy from the Uni-Mind to turn her into a human. This allows her to start aging, thus ending her unwanted childlike appearance.

Joe Young (Trey Parker) is a young Mormon missionary who finds himself in the world of pornography playing Orgazmo, the titular sexual superhero in an insanely popular porno.  Orgazmo fights crime with the Orgazmorator alongside his sidekick ChodaBoy.  To recreate Orgazmo’s over-the-top look, you’ll need a pink bodysuit, green cape, and purple facemask.  Then, you’ll want silver gloves, boots, and a jockstrap to wear over your bodysuit.  If you want to get even closer to the costume used in the film, you can cut the sleeves off the bodysuit and wear layer a purple compression shirt underneath, as well as add the Orgazmo emblem with some silver and black fabric paint.

Lois Lane (voiced by Christina Hendricks) takes on some superpowers of her own in the comic and cartoon movie All-Star Superman.  Superman gives Lois, who is usually a journalist without superpowers, a serum that provides her with his abilities for 24 hours.  Super Lois’ costume is very similar to Superman’s, consisting of a blue and yellow leotard with red cape, gloves, and boots.  You can layer a yellow crop top over a blue long-sleeved body suit to get closer to her costume’s design.

Sersi (Gemma Chan) is a character in the Marvel film, The Eternals. She is an Eternal, an immortal, superpowered being created to eradicate Deviants to help populate the Celestial race. Sersi and nine other Eternals get sent to Earth but are forbidden to interact in human conflicts. Unlike her kin, Sersi expresses empathy to humans and Earth. She has the ability to manipulate matter through touch. When she’s not using her powers, she works as a museum curator. Sersi is close friends with Sprite, and has been crushing on Ikaris for literal centuries.

Metro Man (voiced by Brad Pitt) is an alien who was sent to Earth by his parents when his home planet was destroyed.  As a superhero, he is Megamind‘s original arch-nemesis.  Metro Man’s hero costume is white and beige, with a long cape and fringed boots and gloves.  To recreate his look, you’ll want to layer a tan singlet and brown over a white body suit.  Then, add gloves, boots, and cape, as well as a salt and pepper wig and you’re good to go.  An iron-on patch can be added for additional detail to the front of the costume.

El Tigre (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the super alter ego of Manny Rivera on the Nickelodeon animated series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.  Manny’s transformation into El Tigre includes some pretty stark changes, including the addition of a tiger tail, ears, and sharpened claws.  To dress as El Tigre, you can layer boots, a belt, and a red bandana over a black bodysuit.  For some extra authenticity, you can also use scar wax to add the scar Manny has over his left eye.

Lucita Sky (voiced by Veronica Hortiguela) is a student at Hero Elementary in the PBS animated series. Lucita’s hero powers include flying, despite her fear of heights. She is also the leader of the Sparks Crew. Lucita’s superhero costume consists of shades of blue and purple, including purple boots and cape, and a blue skirt. The Sparks Crew shirt she wears can be found in some youth sizes through the PBS website, though none are white like she uses for her costume. Instead, you can purchase a plain white shirt and recreate the logo with fabric paint.
