Step 1Inspiration

Inspiration
The Inspiration for this costume came out of wanting to make up a superhero character for halloween. I'm really interested in electronics so i wanted to come up with a character that would harness that.

The name i came up with was Greggawatt, a crime fighter who knew how to fix even the most kludgey of hacks! Armed with a multimeter and electrosensitive goggles!

The purple theme came out of my recent hair dyeing, and i really like that shade of purple.

For your own costumes, you can make the back story as complex or as simple as you want. Having a bit of a back story does make the costume a bit more exciting to outsiders. Once you have a good idea of what you want to be, do some sketch-outs and figure out what you want your costume to look like.

Once you're satisfied with an idea, time to get supplies!
