Standards - Captain Jack Harkness

In contrast to the Doctor, Captain Jack is more of a conventional action hero, as well as outwardly flirtatious and capable of acts which the Doctor would view as less than noble. Cosplaying as him lots of fun.  Read more about his character and his history here.

The Face of Boe


According to Cpt. Jack, in the episode "Last of the Time Lords" (s03e13), he confesses his vanity and recalls how, as the first person from the Boeshane Peninsula to join the Time Agency, his good looks earned him the nickname "the Face of Boe." And we all smiled in revelation and excitement!

We don't think any person has ever cosplayed as the Face of Boe due to it's size, but we'd love to see someone try. There have been a few well-crafted reproductions though so if you're very handy and want tackle that, go for it!
