Rex Salazar from Generator Rex
Rex Salazar (voiced by Daryl Sabara) is the main character of the TV series Generator Rex. Rex is a teenager with the ability to grow machines and weapons from his body at will because of the nanites in his body. Rex is an Exponentially Variegated Organism (EVO), and has the power to heal other EVOs when they are injured. Rex’s outfit consists of a red and gold moto jacket, and black pants with blue geometric details that glow blue-white when he uses his powers. To replicate this effect, you could use glow in the dark fabric paint to create the designs, so they will stand out in the dark. Likewise, a red and gold moto jacket may be difficult come by, but you could experiment with some gold leather paint on a red and white jacket if you’re feeling crafty.
Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows
Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) is a main character in the FX show What We Do In The Shadows, a spinoff of the movie directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement. She is of Romani heritage and is the first lady vampire in the series. After turning Laszlo into a vampire, the two got married, though the couple often bickers. They moved to Staten Island and now live with Colin the energy vampire, as well as Nandor and his familiar Guillermo. Nadja is romantic, as she seeks out her true love, and observant, as she is the first to point out paranormal occurrences. Unlike her roommates, Nadja is capable of using modern technology. Use this promo picture as a reference for her makeup.
Alix Kubdel from Miraculous Ladybug
Alix Kubdel (voiced by Kira Buckland in English) is a character in the French cartoon Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Alix has been both friend and foe to Ladybug as her the time traveling villain Timebreaker and also as the hero Bunnyx in the future. Alix has short cropped reddish-pink hair, and when not donning the costume of one of her alter egos, can often be found wearing checkered hi-tops with lime green accents and bright pink colors that match her colorful hair.
Dank and Dabby from Disjointed
It’s hard to describe Dank and Dabby. They’re unique people on their own. Together they form an entertaining duo that brings a healthy dose of adorably strange to the scene whenever they show up. Don’t let the funny fool you, though. They’re also sharp business owners, talented artists, and fiercely loyal friends.
Dank and Dabby both have distinctive styles. Dank favors stiff-brimmed hats, marijuana-themed t-shirts, dark jeans, and sneakers. Dabby’s look always includes an unusual cat t-shirt, a purple zip-front hoodie, Chuck Taylor’s, and a unique hairstyle with some of her hair up on top of her head in a top knot and the rest down around her shoulders
Homelander from The Boys
Homelander is a character in the Amazon TV series, The Boys, played by Antony Starr. He is the leader of The Seven, a team of superheroes who actually do more harm than good. His powers include flight, super strength, super hearing, plus x-ray and laser vision. Despite his symbolic similarities to Superman and Captain America, he is the antagonist. While the public thinks of him as a benevolent hero, he is actually vain, twisted, and power-obsessed. He is probably the most evil and sociopathic of The Seven. Billy Butcher knows his true character, and seeks revenge on him for the death of his wife.
Joker (1966)
The Joker is the main antagonist of the 1966 Batman TV series featuring Adam West as the titular hero. Famous Cuban-American actor Cesar Romero plays this role of the villain who always tries to outsmart the caped crusader. However, unlike more recent iterations, he is played for laughs and is mostly a harmless trickster.
Marcus from Raised by Wolves
Marcus (played by Travis Fimmel) is one of the main characters of the HBO Max show Raised by Wolves. He is a follower of the Mithraic faith, and eventually becomes the leader of a group of humans who have relocated to the planet Kepler-22b in order to escape an Earth ravaged by war. Marcus finds himself in conflict with Mother, an android who was previously sent to Kepler-22b with Father and human embryos in an effort to begin populating the new planet. Marcus’ clothing is tactical in feel and mostly white. If you have some skill with a paintbrush, you could paint the Mithraic sun symbol onto a white tunic. Otherwise, a Crusader costume will help evoke the same feel. For a little extra detail, use an FX kit to recreate the scarring on the right side of Marcus’ face.
Ruth Whitefeather Feldman from Disjointed
Ruth Whitefeather Feldman (Kathy Bates) is a marijuana activist and one of the core characters on the show Disjointed. She has been an activist for more than thirty years, largely fighting for the legalization of marijuana. And while she might not always be the easiest person to get along with, she really does try to help the people around her. Whether or not they really want her help!
Ruth’s look is comfortable, colorful, and casual. You’ll want to start with a long wavy wig in silver tones. A long colorful shrug and coordinating top start the outfit while cuffed jeans and slip-on shoes finish the look. Add in some chunky jewelry and a burning desire for social justice and you’re ready to heal-p people, as Ruth likes to say!
Yako from Neuro: Supernatural Detective
Yako Katsuragi is on a mission to solve the mystery behind her father’s death. She teams up with the non-human Neuro, making a deal to help him keep his cover. Yako and Neuro begin to form a true bond as they carry out their detective work in Neuro: Supernatural Detective (Ma jin Tantei Nōgami Neuro).
Mother from Raised by Wolves
Mother (played by Amanda Collin) is an android sent to the planet Kepler-22b in the HBO Max show Raised by Wolves. Mother and Father, another android, are tasked with raising human children destined to repopulate their new planet, as the Earth has been plagued by war between atheists and followers of the Mithraic faith. Some of these followers, including Marcus, eventually make their way to Kepler-22b as well, causing conflict in the world of Mother, Father, and Campion. While Mother’s costume is relatively simple, her hairstyle truly makes her stand out. If you aren’t quite ready to take the plunge and give yourself a buzzcut, a men’s wig in a strawberry-blonde color can help you achieve the utilitarian appearance of this futuristic android.
