Who Should You Be For Halloween?

Before I start, do this quiz to find out who you should dress up as for Halloween! Then look below it to see how I would put these costumes together!

Seriously, these costume ideas are pretty cool. Some, as seen with the quiz above, are more complex than others. Here are some ways I would make them work. Do some gender-bending, or just go straight for whoever you want.

Batman

A Batman mask is relatively cheap online, find yourself a cape and a utility belt and it's a quick make-shift Batman costume.

Dumbledore

Dumbledore; find an old flat cap and tat it up and dye grey. Wear some grey, tatted up bed sheets. You're Dumbledore.

Groot

Wear some sticks/twigs/leaves and you're instantly a talking tree. ONLY say "I am Groot" though. 

Miranda Sings

Wear a lot of 'lisstick' as Miranda would say, put on a horrid old jumper and a red tracksuit on. You're internet star, Miranda Sings.

Lumpy Space Princess

Paint some cotton balls purple, stick them on you and wear a crown and a sassy attitude. You're Lumpy Space Princess!

Katniss Everdeen

I would especially go for a tribute look from the first Hunger Games movie, very similar to the books. Brown jacket, trousers, boots. 

Squirrel Girl

I would perhaps recommend going for the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl costume (on the right), unless you have a brown, furry leotard and a bunch of actual squirrels floating around somewhere. Obviously, the tail is the difficult thing here. Other than that, a jacket, jeans, boots, ginger hair, belt, squirrel ears. You're Squirrel Girl. 

Twelfth Doctor

The Twelfth Doctor: Spray hair grey, boots, trousers, waistcoat, shirt, and a long blazer, stitch red lining if you can be bothered. Speak with a Scottish accent. Ta-dah! You're a time lord!

MARVEL & DC TEAM-UPS

Hello! Today I'm writing about Marvel and DC, more specifically Marvel and DC characters teaming up together and FIGHTING THE BAD GUYS WOOOAHHH.

 

I previously did a blog post about Marvel VS DC, pitting two characters, one of each, against each other to see who'd win. Check that out here. MARVEL VS DC CROSSOVER

Anyway, let's get started. (Warning: I really wasn't that great at coming up with team names)

1. Spider-man, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Superman and Wolverine as... THE FRONTRUNNERS

Basically, as the appalling team name may suggest... These six heroes are a few of the core heroes of Marvel and DC. Just imagine the hard-core battling done between these guys and perhaps a villain team consisting of Doctor Doom, Dr Octopus, Magneto, Harley Quinn, The Joker and Lex Luthor.

2. Ant Man, The Wasp, Atom and Shrinking Violet as... THE LITTLE ONES (I told you I was bad at thinking of team names)

So little, so tiny, where the heck are they? I kid of course. I'm hilarious I know, please... stop applauding. Imagine a superhero team consisting of, well, four tiny people. It would actually work quite well.

3. Black Panther, Iron Man, Green Arrow and Batman as... THE M TEAM (No seriously stop laughing at these team names)

Imagine all the cool gadgets and super cool technology, just a few rich guys beating up some bad guys. All the equal opportunities. 

4.  Kid Flash, H.E.R.B.I.E, Robin (Carrie Kelley)  and Lockheed as... THE SIDEKICKS (Again, don't judge)

This is something I'd like to see, the sidekicks come up and be the main heroes (despite the team name, oh my). Carrie Kelley is actually super cool, and with her rumoured appearance in Batman V Superman (although I truly doubt it's truth), I'd see her as the frontrunner of the team. The others, they're super awesomely cool as well.

5. Scarlet Witch, Zatanna, Magik and Raven as... THE MAGICEISHAS (I'm rather proud of this team name actually)

This would be one badass all-female magical superhero team, THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. NEEDS TO. Scarlet Witch is cray cray as the kids say, Zatanna is equally as cray, Magik is just cool and Raven is epic. ALL DA MAGIC.

6. Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), Miss America (America Chavez), Supergirl, Wiccan, Miss Martian and Robin (Tim Drake) as... THE YOUTHFUL SIX

I'm a huge fan of America Chavez and Kamala Khan, so I could perhaps see them as the leaders of this group. However, Supergirl and Robin are huge presences in not only the DC universe, but also in the general superhero universe. Ask anybody, and they'll know who Supergirl and Robin are. So they would perhaps be the frontrunners as well. This team would be fantastic because it's a bunch of young people proving themselves and truly making a difference and saving the world. Yolo, as the kids say.

 

That's all for now.

 

See you next time for My July Soundtrack featuring Jack Garrett, Galantis, Sigma and Florence + The Machine.
