My favorite Halloween as a kid was when my mom made me a Wolverine costume. No one knew who that was in 1988 and I loved it.
I don’t have half the tailoring skills my mom does, but I can’t resist indulging my sons’ unusual ideas.
Westen chose to be a retro Daredevil in yellow and red. He pieced together the whole costume and figured out the horns with my girlfriend, Kristen. I had a lot of fun figuring out how to make his batons functional.
Isaac wanted to be Crossbones from Captain America: Civil War. We had a lot of trouble with the movie version of the gauntlets, so decided to go with the comic book look.
Kristen put together a last-minute Velma and pulled it off beautifully. I went with a shoeless Punisher and grappled with one of my favorite rival heroes.
