Carbon Costume The Arrowverse
Wally West / Kid Flash from The Flash
Wally West (played by Keiynan Lonsdale) is the son of Joe West and brother of Iris West-Allen. His mother left Joe and then discovered her pregnancy so Wally did not grow up knowing his father or his sister. He quickly takes a place on Team Flash and becomes Kid Flash as well as The Flash in certain timelines.
When he isn’t saving the world as a speedster he spends his time drag racing and trying to find where he fits in the wider world. He tends to prefer comfortable clothes like jeans, flannel button ups, and t-shirts as well as shoes he can easily drive in. And while his Flash costume is usually yellow, he has been known to wear the iconic red when called on to do so.
Cisco Ramon from The Flash
Cisco Ramon (played by Carlos Valdes) is the sweetheart of Team Flash. He is the one who always holds out hope that things can get better. He also tends to be a little more silly than the rest of the team but don’t let that fool you. He is wildly intelligent and can be a ruthless fighter when called on. This is especially true when he has his meta-human powers and joins the team as the vigilante, Vibe.
Cisco’s day to day clothes tend to be very comfortable and casual. He likes wearing graphic t-shirts and isn’t shy about wearing the S.T.A.R. Labs logo. A button-up flannel and a basic canvas jacket are his go-to layers while study khakis and high tops make up the rest of his outfit.
As Vibe he prefers a more uniform look. He has a special jacket as well as leather pants, dark boots, and goggles with blue lenses. No matter what he’s wearing though he has shoulder-length brown hair that has a lot of natural curve and wave to it.
Iris West-Allen from The Flash
Iris West-Allen (played by Candice Patton) is the lifelong love of Barry Allen. She takes on several roles over the course of the show but her drive to tell the truth and deliver justice never change. She is often the person coordinating the team – once she becomes involved – and even takes a turn as a hero in an alternate universe.
When cosplaying Iris, class is the name of the game. She is always well put-together and dresses fashionably in silk blouses and fitted slacks or flowing sundresses and matched sweaters. She wears her hair long and usually down with neatly done classic makeup. Iris also has a preference for stiletto high heels no matter whether she’s in slacks and a blouse or a dress.
Clifford DeVoe / The Thinker from The Flash
Clifford DeVoe (played by Neil Sandilands) was a professor and researcher who augmented himself with a device that increased his intelligence. While his intelligence increased, however, his body began to deteriorate. This ultimately put him in a wheelchair which he altered to be a sort of base for his power.
Altering a wheelchair – particularly a power chair as DeVoe uses when he is The Thinker – is a large undertaking. So too is making the specialty headgear that makes up his costume. An easier way to cosplay him is to dress as he did before becoming The Thinker and then use a few costume cybernetic pieces to show DeVoe’s transition into being The Thinker.
The piece pictured above is technically a piece for a Borg costume which means it can be reused in other costumes as well. Otherwise all you need are dress shoes, slacks, a button up, and a tie as well as a wheelchair if you choose to cosplay that point if DeVoe’s development.
