His fit is super recognizable, and his agile physique and iconic web-slinging abilities make him a yearly favorite.

Right behind him is Mario, the plumber from the Super Mario series, with 67,280 searches.

Marios simple costumered hat, overalls, and mustachemight explain its appeal.

Princess Peach, another Mario franchise favorite, ranks third with 53,070 searches.

Batman takes fourth place with just over 47,000 searches.

His all-black suit and cape are easy to make at home and fun to wear at night.

Luigi, Marios green-sporting brother with another simple outfit, secures fifth place with 24,080 searches.
