Who Is Iron Man?

Iron Man is a Marvel comic book hero. He made his first appearance in 1963. Iron Man is the alter ego of a man called Anthony Edward Stark, or Tony to his friends. His is a very rich billionaire who is also a highly skilled engineer and owns an industrial corporation that produces weapons and equipment for the military. He is kidnapped by a group of extremists who force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. During the kidnapping he gets badly injured and in order to save his own life, he creates a body suit with a power source that actually keeps him alive. He adds some built in weaponry and use this body armour to escape captivity. He then goes on to help fight crime by producing lots more weapons, some of which are incorporated into his distinctive power suit.

Tony is a super intelligent individual and the suit provides him with the ability of superhuman strength, the capability of fly and extreme speed. This all helps to make him a great superhero that is there to defend the good and the great.

What Makes Up the Iron Man Halloween Costume?

The Iron Man costume is made up of two main parts; the all in one jumpsuit and the head mask. The red jumpsuit has been printed with a pattern that resembles the body armour of Iron Man’s power suit. This includes lots of intricate detail work using reds, blacks and gold colouring to produce the printed graphics on the legs, arms and torso of the costume. The upper torso, shoulders and biceps on this suit have also been padded in order to replicate the expansive chest that this superhero has.

These ones will have a lot more detail work and other great functions incorporated into them.

Not One, But Two Iron Man Costumes to Choose From
If you are already a fan of Iron Man, then you will know that there is an alternative choice to the red and gold Iron Man suit that is worn by the character Tony. You can now purchase a gray Iron Man outfit. The guy who wears this suit is called Jim “Rhodey” Rhodes and his alter ego is known as War Machine. He teams up with Iron Man in order to provide extra backup to fighting off the bad guys. The suit is exactly the same but comes completely in gray.

So this Halloween you have a fantastic choice of Iron Man costumes. If you have a buddy, you could even join forces and arrived at your party as this superhero crime busting duo.

There are some fantastic Halloween costume ideas that you can get just from looking at comic books. These are filled with lots of male and female superheroes, which led themselves perfectly to the creation of stunning costumes. One perfect example that women could choose is a Batgirl costume.

The character of Batgirl appeared in DC comics. There were several different versions before the most popular reincarnation appeared in 1966. Her alter ego in the comics is called Barbara “Babs” Gordon and she is the daughter of the Police Commissioner in Gotham City.

This costume is similar in style and colour to that of Batman and is available in all sizes so whether you are a woman, a teen, a little girl or a toddler, you will be able to find the perfect size to fit.

The great thing about choosing a Batgirl costume is that you get everything that you need included in the price. The main part of this outfit consists of the black dress. It is made from a shiny polyester fabric and features the yellow batgirl insignia on the front. The bottom of the dress has been cut so that it resembles the wings of a bat and depending on who the costume is for, it will either fall just at the knee for young girls and toddlers or it will sit around the thigh area in the adult version.

To compliment the dress, there is also a black cape. This is already attached to the back of the dress and falls to the same length as the skirt.

Just like her male counterpart, Batgirl also has a utility belt. This is made from a bright yellow fabric and incorporates the bat insignia which co-ordinates with the bat logo that is on the front of the dress.

The additional accessories that are included with this outfit are the black gauntlets and the black boot tops. The gauntlets are made to slip onto each arm. They have some extra detail work that runs along the edging of each one. The boot tops are made from the same shiny material as the dress and have been designed to fit over your boots. This can look particularly sexy as part of the adult costume especially if you team them with a pair of spiky high heel boots.

The final part of this costume is the eye mask. Batgirl is a character that needs to ensure that she protects her identity so the mask is essential. There are several different styles available but most of them have been designed to look like a bat, complete with pointy ears.

The Batgirl costume is a wonderful option for any female who is trying to decide what fancy dress outfit to wear this Halloween. This would also make a great choice if you are going as part of a double act with your partner who could dress as Batman. You would certainly make a gothastic pair.
