The supervillain Big Business, controlling his horde of Corporate Zombies.
Also, the Privilege Fairy; with each touch of his wand, he turns another human right or necessity into a privilege and a blessing! (ie college education, decent mortgage,living wage, affordable healthcare)

MOTHER EARTH,FATHER SKY AND CHILDREN CAN BE CHLDREN OF THE EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR, ETC. TO MAKE UP THE NATURE FAMILY
DRESS IN GREEN, BROWN, BLUE AND ALL THE COLORS OF NATURE. WEAR FLOWERS, TREE BRANCHES, SHELLS, STONES, BURN SAGE AND SWEET GRASS AND HOLD SIGNS THAT SAY THINGS LIKE:
"OUR MOTHER IS HURTING....STOP RAPING AND ABUSING HER." OR
"WE HAVE ABUSED OUR MOTHER. IF WE STOP HURTING HER, SHE WILL FORGIVE US AND HEAL.,,,,

MOTHER EARTH IS MAD AND IS WILLING TO GIVE THE MULTINATIONALS A TIME OUT FOR NOW....BUT SOON SHE WILL RAGE!

If I were good at making costumes I think I would make a tony boloney costume. I'm thinking some sort of mascot like boloney man wearing a starch white shirt with gold name tag that proudly reads "Hello my name is Tony Boloney", a OWS patch on the sleeve and a belt of chili peppers.

A paired costume of the 1% and the 99% - maybe a skewed bar chart with several bars but showing that the 99% is tall and very skinny/small with few bars but the 1% is short and wide with many bars, letting everyone see that it's not 1% of the bars.
