Default Advice needed from superhero-experts

There will be a party at my university were you suppose to dress up as a superhero. A fun idea but I have a hard time figure out who I should dress up as. Not many comicbook heroes have long hair and beard.

I always thought Wolverine looked cool but the hair is a bit of a problem there. Any suggestions of superheroes that might actually resemble me?

Exactly!
Or you could order one of these t-shirts:

Aquaman has long hair and a beard. Blond though.

How about a post menopausal Wonder Woman?

Very good suggestions. The "drag queen" idea was a new one. Hmm, Wonder Woman you say.

Let's see, there's Kaine, a deformed clone of spider man(he's not really a hero though, kind of close though, he's not a villain either), and ... wow, I can't seem to be able to think of much else.

Okay, exactly how strict a definition of superhero are you dealing with? How important is the "hero" part of it? What about the "super" part? Are characters from fantasy settings okay? What about mutants?

There might be some superheroes with elaborate headgear in which you could tuck away your hair.

A villain should work just as good. Any more ideas? Fantasy feels a little off.

Doctor Doom. Getting the stuff for it however... You could always buy a gallon of gas and go as Johnny Storm or whatever the name of that shitty hero is. I hate Fantastic Four.

How much hair do you have?

Thor definitely has the long hair and has had a beard from time to time. Can you get a really big hammer?

Well granted that I'm hairy but even I can't top that. I know two guys who can though. They competed about who can get the longest beard. Let's just say that most of us can't beat any of them.

Thor or He-Man isn't such bad ideas actually. Maybe Sabretooth could work too.
