The term costumed character generally refers to a costume that covers the performer's face. These range from theme park "walk-around" characters, the mascots of corporations, schools, or sports teams, some novelty act performers, to personal fursuits. Occasionally the term is extended to include theme park characters with the performer's face visible.

When characters from one universe meet characters from another universe that they normally do not interact with, this is termed a crossover.
Each issue contained biographical information on many major costumedcharacters; these biographies were a precursor to Marvel's series of reference material, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, which followed shortly on the heels of Contest of Champions.
