Batman's Foe The Riddler Cosplay Tips

1. Get a Riddler costume, either the green bodysuit with question marks or the green suit, complete your look with a bowler hat, a mask and a care.
2. Learn how to pull of riddles, word games and puzzles without people knowing what you are doing until you've pulled off what you have intentionally planned.
3. If you do have reasons for doing things, hide them! Never let people know what you are up to, and always hide your intentions.
4. Have no fear. This may seem a bit "Batman-like" but it's also essential if you want to become the Riddler. The Riddler is not afraid of being locked up. He's not afraid of Batman. He's not afraid of the police. He's not afraid to die. When Batman beat him up while interrogating him, all the Riddler did was laugh and keep confidence. Well, not all the time. Keep lots of self-confidence
5. Never take anything too seriously. Always see the light-hearted and funny side of everything. The Riddler makes loads of funny riddles and comments but keep in mind that he doesn't overdo it. Make sure you have the right timing for your riddles and only say them in the right situations; otherwise people will think you are just trying desperately to be funny!
6. Gain more intelligence. Even if you are already smart, become smarter. The Riddler is extremely intelligent and cunning no matter how crazy he seems. He always has backup plans and people doing his dirty work.
7. Riddler is known to cheat people out of their belongings by his puzzles and high IQ of knowledge. Learn how to hack and interfere with small things to catch your victims for example, hack into a video camera or tv/computer and broadcast yourself from your hideout blackmailing or intimidating your victims. Don't steal anything, they know the riddler is to smart to do petty identity theft.
8. The Riddler has also been seen with question mark cane pistols or exploding jigsaw pieces, and lockpicks, and his original cane so stock up on accessories.
9. Underestimate your victims. Outsmart them with your knowledge. Put question marks and riddles around your area to have people curious about the towns new RIDDLER.
10. Lastly make your hideout. You have to have a hidden hideout or people will know your secrets and plans and eventually take you down. Keep your plans and victims hidden. Have a television screen, video recorder to intimidate your victims, a table for all your plans, and a basement or space to keep your victims.

Which is Your Favorite Ms Marvel Costume?

1. The original Ms Marvel Costume

After getting blown up and saved by Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers gained super strength, speed and a seventh sense that would put her consciousness to sleep and allow Ms. Marvel to fight the prophesied problems. Her first costume consisted of a one-piece outfit with built-in gloves and an exposed mid-riff somewhat scandalous by 1977 standards. She also rocked a scarf and boots. The look might be a little dated by today's standards, but back then it proved pretty hot stuff.
2. The Classic Ms Marvel Costume

Soon after first meeting up with the Avengers, Ms. Marvel got a full-on costume change in 1978's MS. MARVEL #20. She ditched her original outfit in favor of a black affair with lightning bolt chest graphic, thigh-high black boots and separate black gloves. Of course, the costume design came from resident Avengers fashionista Janet Van Dyne, who kept a bit of the old look in the form of a red sash around the waist. Ms. Marvel wore this costume when she took over for Scarlet Witch on a temporary basis in AVENGERS #183. 
3. The Binary Costume

Carol stuck with the black costume all through her ordeal with a villain named Marcus, who impregnated her with a version of himself. Later, on a mission into space with the X-Men in 1982's UNCANNY X-MEN #164, Carol found herself at the Brood's mercy as they experimented on her unique genetic composition. Eventually saved by Wolverine, Carol discovered that the Brood tampering had made her much more powerful and able to tap into cosmic energy. She took on the name Binary to reflect her new, star-like appearance. While in the Binary guise, Carol wore a white bathing suit-like torso piece along with white thigh-highs and gloves accented by her red skin and flaming head. Her new powers allowed Binary to kick around space for a while, teaming up with the Starjammers, before ultimately coming back to Earth during "Operation Galactic Storm," which drained Carol of most of her cosmic powers. 
4. The Warbird Costume

With her Binary powers depleted, Carol returned to the classic black costume, rejoining the Avengers in 1998's AVENGERS #4, but taking on a new name: Warbird. Things didn't go well for the heroine, though, as her past trauma caught up with her and lead to a bout with alcoholism that got her expelled from the team. After getting help from Iron Man with her drinking and power problems, Danvers eventually got a brand new look to go along with her new codename. The Warbird Costume consisted of a basic bodysuit with padding-on-the-outside.
