@Spyderpool's Redhood from Batman is intense!
Redhood
Jason Todd was the second Robin to Batman who was killed by the Joker. However, he managed to survive and took on the moniker of the Red Hood.
"You Can't Stop Crime! That's What You Never Understood! I'm Controlling it! You Want To Rule Them By Fear But What Do You Do To Those Who Aren't Afraid? I'm Doing What You Won't! I'm Taking Them Out!"
Red Hood was always one of @Spyderpool's favorite characters becuase of his chaotic good nature.
To make this cosplay, @Spyderpool wanted to make sure the chest piece looked well weathered so it would seem like it wasn't brand new.

Cosplay Origin
"It’s incredibly fun and rewarding to not only become a character from all sorts of worlds, but to see that work appreciated as well.
-@Spyderpool
@Spyderpool's cosplay origin is heart-warming. He shared a love of Spiderman with his grandfather, whose death inspired him to start by cosplaying the web-slinger. And @Spyderpool thinks his grandfather would have loved to see him in the suit.
His first convention was Megacon Orlando in 2007, where he cosplayed Spiderman. When attending conventions, @Spyderpool loves to see other cosplayers from the same movies and comics.
@Spyderpool wants to improve his cosplay as well as expand into different characters. He enjoys crafting the costumes as much as wearing them.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
Moondrop is one-half of the personality for the Daycare Attendant. During normal operating times when the lights are on, Sundrop is out having fun with the children. But once the lights go out, Moondrop comes out. During the game Moondrop acts as an antagonist to Gregory and will go chase him around the Pizza Plex at the end of every hour.
@Spyderpool would like to thank @kau.makana for all of their help when creating this cosplay. He says without them all the foam shaping, painting, and pattern making wouldn't have happened.

Spider-Man was born after Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider that gave him spider-like abilities. Parker was a scientific genius, inventing web-shooters and the web fluid that allow him to swing along New York's skyscrapers.
Spider-Man will always be near and dear to @Spyderpool's heart because of the shared love of the comics with his grandfather.
