Now here is one of my favorites. Green Lantern! All you need is a symbol shirt, some black pants, a power ring, and whatever other accessories you want. Domino mask for some, vest/ sleeveless jacket for Guy Gardner! Of course you could always just get the symbol and ring and make up your own. I think I would end up looking like a mix between John Lennon and somebody from the Matrix. I am the Green Lantern of Sector 2819! Not the same as Earth, but we do listen to the Beatles... and watch the pseudo-anime-action films. You can check out all of the shirts at Green Lantern T-Shirts
SHAZAM! Somebody got into an argument the other day about ‘lame superheroes’ and he totally mentioned Captain Marvel/ Shazam. I found myself instantly defending him. That damn catch phrase doesn’t allow him to be taken seriously, does it? That guy can stand toe-to-toe with Superman and people just remember the SHAAAZAM part. I hope you guys can feel me shaking my head in dismay at this prospect. Oh well. At least it is a good catch phrase. Hell, I almost feel powered up when I yell it! If you want to me Captain Marvel, all you need is the shirt, a white cape, and a lot of red for everything else! If you are a girl, you could always try out Mary Marvel too! Instead of the pants though you need a skirt; sorry but that’s the rules. If you are the black sheep of the family, you could always come as Black Adam! Our Black Adam shirt, black pants, and slick your hair back. Surprise! You are now the reason Shazam took 2000 years to give his power to somebody else. That’s what we like to refer to as leaving a bad taste in somebody’s mouth.
If you have a silly strand in you and/or a penchant for Golden Age costumes/ characters, then perhaps you should come as Jay Garrick, the first Flash! He got his powers from smoking a cigarette and falling asleep in a room filled with Hard Vapor. I think that may be the ‘cheekiest’ way to being given super powers, but hey I’m sure Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man enjoyed that story immensely. The reagents for this costume? Just our Golden Age Flash Symbol and a pot/ colander on your head! You could go the extra mile and add little paper wings to the side too! I’m sure the first version of that costume was probably constructed like that anyways. Where else are you going to find headgear like that?
Our last idea, but certainly not least, involves our Iron Man Arc Reactor t-shirt! I mean really, that’s all you need to start the costume off and then you can go in any direction you want. You could go the movie route, and use some face paint or makeup to color in some of your veins. After all, palladium poisoning is not the best way to go. Inversely, you could play to Stark’s true comic book persona and walk around with a half-gallon of liquor. Either way you’re playing to the strengths of having a bum-ticker, if you catch my drift. This shirt may actually prove you have a heart…go figure! We hope you have enjoyed our ideas and have a safe and happy Halloween – just don’t be too lazy!
