View Full Version : I need ideas for a superhero costume
I'm going to a 30th Birthday lads weekend and we have to dress up as a superhero. I was going as Wolverine as I have a long goatee but someone else pipped me to the post. Any ideas? The costume must be reassonably easy to make or cheapish to buy. I'd like to go as someon funny, maybe a cartoon character. Here's who's already going:
Bananaman
Monty Panesar???
A teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle???
Captain America
Wonder Woman
Buzz lightyear
Mr Incredible
Wolverine
Superman
I was going to try and make a mighty mouse, dangermouse, superted, hong kong phooey costume but they all have fur or funny faces! How about spider pig?

Hovis has copyright on Bananaman on this forum! Beware, Beware!
But please do Hong Kong Phooey, he's a number one super guy, my childhood hero, quicker than the human eye!
No, there wasn't much to do growing up in a small village on the Welsh borders......

PMSL... ill find out at the first scrutineering when they discover my tie wraps bodge tape and blu tac lol
Try Ghostrider,Rubbish film but at least you can go on the bike
I'd seen the spiderpuke picture before! Lovely.
Reckon the incredible hulk or dangermouse will be easy enough if I can find a good paint. Incredible hulk will be cheaper and probably more effective. I'm finding it very hard to find a white all in one catsuit for dangermouse! Hong Kong Phooey would be easy enough apart from the doggy bits.

Just tell them Jerry Burgess helped you prep the bike, that should fox 'em
go as me
The 30 year old is going as you but thanks!
U could go as Green Lantern... then all you'd need is a pukey kwak green lycra catsuit, paint the black lantern symbol on it, a black mask and a ring... oh and maybe a black belt and boots...
I'm not going as someone I've never heard of!
Gah! Non-geeks these days... *tuts*
:lol:

Us LARPers have the BEST dressing up boxes :)
Very good costumes, especially the gladiator one. Not sure that would get me any fans out on the town in Bognor! That's you from the other night!
But, and it's a big but, none of them are superheroes!
Are they your own teeth?
:D

Go as Incest Boy.
Gather round me people and a story I will tell
About a tragic superhero whose life's a living hell
He had big bug eyes, he had a huge thorax,
he could carry twenty times his own weight on his back
By day a bug collector, by night the town's protector,
Insect Boy
that should have been his name
He was born to fight terror,
but a clerical error
Confined him to a life of shame
They called him Incest Boy, they got the spelling wrong
They called him Incest Boy, and sadly from that moment on
He could summon up the strength
of a bug who flies and stings
But first he had to fiddle with his sister
He can fly like a hornet, he can sting like a wasp
But he is saddled with a curious dilemma
Is it really worth the price to battle crime and vice
If first you have to poke a family member?
It takes a cousin to get him buzzin'
It takes an aunt to make him strong like an ant
But after he's fought evil
He just curls up like a weevil
Overcome by guilt that he don't understand
They called him Incest Boy, his life's a living hell
They called him Incest Boy, so stay in school kids
and learn to spell!!
He's a superhuman bug, he swoops down from above
He's got a face only a mother could love

Borrow the cloak, get a toy-lightsaber and just go as "Random Jedi"
Jedi are the New Superhero's
Or add red and black face-paint on that shaven bonce of yours and go as Sith - or Super-Villain
Simple
And no, not my own teeth - just very nice denture work :)
Be different... go as a female superhero, i`ll lend you some red knickers :D
Already got a chubb nub going as Miss America. :(

I'm not going to a fancy dress party or anything, but can I borrow them anyway?
