These Cosplayers Went All The Way With Their Comic-Con Outfits

There is so much to see and do at Comic-Con. From checking out the latest comics on the market to meeting your favorite stars and everything in between, it’s always going on at Comic-Con. As if that wasn’t enough, you can see some of the best characters brought to life thanks to the world of cosplay. These cosplayers pour their blood, sweat, and tears into making their costumes to ensure they truly become the character – and it shows. Some cosplayers really know how to wow the crowd.

Supervillain Killer Croc has been fighting Batman for many years

Some of us love to see the heroes walk away victorious. Others? They like to see the other side of the coin – aka the villains. After all, without the bad guys, there would be no heroes to put things right. Killer Croc can sometimes be one of the understated villains, but this person was here to show why we should pay attention to the bad guy.

Killer Croc was driven insane when he started to turn into a crocodile-like creature and lived a life of crime ever since. He regularly makes appearances in Batman’s comic books and became a member of the “Suicide Squad” as they teamed up to tackle the world. This guy’s costume certainly captured the antihero in all his glory.

Many fans can’t wait to see if Batman and Wonder Woman become an item

If there’s one thing that many of us love, it’s the universes that comic books have created over the years. Wonder Woman and Batman are both a part of the DC Extended Universe, but their paths didn’t cross on the big screen until the superhero movie ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.’ Many fans have been hoping the pair will become an item for years.

After all, they shared a kiss in the comic books and paired up in the film. Plus, they have shared a flirtatious cat and mouse game ever since they first teamed up. How long do we have to wait until Batman and Wonder Woman finally fall in love and become one of the most beloved couples in the comic’s history?

Lord Zedd is one of the main supervillains in the Power Rangers franchise

If you’re a fan of the Power Rangers, there’s a good chance you know this guy. Yes, it’s none other than Lord Zedd. This cosplayer went above and beyond to bring the villain to life as they have carefully crafted every aspect of the character’s suit to perfection. This sure is one example of cosplaying at Comic-Con done absolutely right.

Lord Zedd is a dangerous and destructive villain who uses his Z-Staff to channel his dark powers and wreak havoc wherever he goes. If there is an evil superpower, there’s a good chance that Lord Zedd can do it as the villain can teleport, make things appear out of thin air, and even create illusions, all at the drop of a hat.

Making this cosplayer outfit took months of preparation and lots of work

It’s not just comic book characters who get brought to life at Comic-Con. Some cosplayers like to push the boat out and bring characters from all walks of life to life for the first time. This person is no exception. The action-adventure game ‘God of War’ has proven to be pretty favorable over the years, with the Valkyries being some of the most popular characters.

They are the female warriors who take fallen warriors to Valhalla whenever they lose their lives. This cosplayer went above and beyond as they confessed to CNET that it took three months to make the costume. Apparently, they had a lot of fun making the feathers thanks to the amount of detail that went into every one.

Several actresses have played Mystique throughout the years

Plenty of actresses have brought Mystique to life throughout the ‘X-Men’ series over the years. Carmen Electra, Rebecca Romjin, and Jennifer Lawrence are just some of the names on the list as the character has grown to become a huge part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the big screen wasn’t Mystique’s beginning.

The character has been a part of the comic book universe for many years. While we might never have an answer as to whether she’s a hero or a villain – that’s a discussion for another day – we can say this is the first time we’ve seen Mystique and Raven Darkholme brought to life at the same time. We hope this isn’t the last as this cosplayer has some serious talent!

Ciri from The Witcher took over the world and the internet in 2019

Netflix did it again in December 2019 as the fantasy drama ‘The Witcher’ took over the world. There’s good news: we don’t have to wait long for the second season to hit our screens. The show was based on a series of books that was later adapted into a video game. Ciri is one of the leading characters from every series and has become a fan favorite as a result.

She is one of the few who can travel across space and time thanks to the Elder blood and often finds herself at the center of many storylines. Although many of us are used to seeing Freya Allan bring the character to life, this cosplayer proved she can be anyone with the right costume.

Boba Fett went through a few alterations before he appeared at Comic-Con

The sci-fi ‘Star Wars’ franchise has grown to become one of the most successful of all time, so much so, the franchise was brought back to life in the 21st century. Once Disney gets its hands on something, there is a good chance that most of us want to see the final result – and ‘Star Wars’ didn’t disappoint.

Boba Fett is one of the many characters who has appeared throughout the years. The feared bounty hunter has a reputation that’s traveled across the galaxies, and this woman wanted to bring him to life in an entirely new way. One of the best things about cosplaying is taking a beloved character and turning them into whoever you’d like with just a few tweaks.

Monster Hunter is a hugely successful franchise that’s spawned several video games

Ah, ‘Monster Hunter.’ The fantasy video game franchise has spawned several games over the years as hunters try to battle all kinds of monsters that come their way. The goal is to defeat as many as you can and create armor and weapons that can take down any great beast. Of course, that is in between bonding with your cat and relaxing in the hot springs.

Can you be a hunter without a little downtime? That’s what we thought. The games let people customize their armor in just about every way imaginable, and this cosplayer decided to push the limits. She might look like a part butterfly, but anyone who’s played the games knows not to mess with her swords.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them brought the Potter franchise back to life

Potterheads across the world rejoiced when the news the fantasy ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ was on the way. The movie brought the franchise back to life and added even more layers to the already bustling world J.K. Rowling created all those years ago. Newt Scamander took the part of the leading role as he delved into the world of magical beasts throughout the wizarding world.

His dapper outfit, long coat, and, of course, his briefcase became staple parts of Newt’s look, but that’s not all. Anyone wanting to bring the character to life also needs to recreate Newt’s lovable personality, something this cosplayer appears to have done with ease. Hopefully, there are no beasts joined him at Comic-Con.

Wonder Woman was finally given her own new movie in 2017

2017 saw a new DC superhero take the lead as Wonder Woman got her own title movie. Fans around the world were on the edge of their seats to see how things would unfold for one of the most famous heroes in the comic’s universe – and she didn’t disappoint. Wonder Woman has been on the tip of everyone’s tongues ever since.

It turns out the hero has also been the talking point of cosplayers everywhere as Wonder Woman made an appearance at Comic-Con on more than one occasion. This woman appears to have embraced everything the character oozes. From her stance to her outfit and everything in between, she wouldn’t look out of place standing next to Gal Gadot on the big screen.

This cosplayer turned Belle into a beast hunter rather than a damsel in distress

Most of us are used to seeing Belle as the classic Disney princess. She is the character that proves that true love is written in the stars, even if your destiny is to fall for someone who’s been cursed to live as a beast until he finds love. However, cosplayers at Comic-Con prove that you can take a character and turn them into anyone you like.

This cosplayer put a spin on Belle as she turned the princess into a beast hunter rather than a character who is held captive by the Beast. Everything from her sword to her shield fits with the original story. That is until you spot she’s wearing the Beast’s hide as a cape. Don’t mess with this princess!

The Night King from Game of Thrones will forever be remembered

Let’s face it; it was once impossible to go a day without hearing about the fantasy drama show ‘Game of Thrones.’ Even if you didn’t watch the show, it was just about everywhere we turned. Fans couldn’t wait to see who would win in the battle against the Night King and who would ultimately take their place on The Iron Throne.

In the end, the Night King met his end, but that didn’t stop cosplayers at Comic-Con from bringing him back to life. He was a force that will stay with many fans for years to come – and for plenty of good reasons. This cosplayer certainly put his all into making the character’s costume, and it turned out perfectly.

The Night Queen would have added new layers to Game of Thrones

You might have heard of the Night King, but what about the Night Queen? Every good king needs someone by his side, or did this queen take her rightful place as the one on the throne? It certainly looks that way as this cosplayer put a spin on the character for Comic-Con. In the words of Beyoncé: “Who run the world? Girls.”

While we might never get to see the Night Queen get her own ‘Game of Thrones’ spin-off, we can thank this woman for bringing the character we never knew we needed to life. Can we take a moment to appreciate her makeup skills as she’s created all of those intricate muscles and chest piece to complete the look?

Hera Syndulla is one of the leading characters in Star Wars’ rebellion

It’s one thing to buy a fancy dress costume and become your favorite character for the day. Being a cosplayer is a different way of life. These talented individuals know how to create just about any character in the world – even if they come from a galaxy far, far away. Hera Syndulla is one of the many characters who have grown to become a huge part of the ‘Star Wars’ franchise.

She is an expert pilot who rose to create her own band of resistance rebels who vowed to get revenge. While she is a no-nonsense character, Hera also had a compassionate side that comes out throughout her appearance in the franchise. This cosplayer did the character proud with her perfect costume.

The Mad Hatter is one of the most iconic characters from Alice in Wonderland

Comic-Con is a time for characters from every movie, TV show, and comic book to come to life. Many people have tried their hand at creating their own version of the Mad Hatter throughout the years, but few have come close to this guy’s creation. He has everything he needs to tell the world just who he is supposed to be.

From the rabbit in his basket to the tea party on top of the scooter, it seems that no detail has been missed by this cosplayer. The Mad Hatter became such an iconic character that DC Comics even introduced him as one of Batman’s many villains. In the comics, the villain is everything you would imagine he would be.

Not all Comic-Con outfits have to be based on specific characters

Not every cosplayer needs a character to appear at Comic-Con. Some creative individuals have come up with outfits all on their own with a little inspiration to point them in the right direction. That was the case for the person behind this look. Ever heard of Cenobites? They are the extra-dimensional creatures who have appeared in the ‘Hellraiser’ franchise over the years.

The horror tells the tale of the creatures who can only reach Earth through a division of time that’s triggered by certain artifacts. They all have their own look – perfect for anyone wanting to get a little creative with their Comic-Con outfit. Their look certainly would have been enough to turn a few heads at the convention, that’s for sure.

Captain Hook is one of Disney’s more loveable evil villains

Hands up if you have a favorite Disney character all these years later? Most of us have one of two at the top of the list as the franchise was a huge influence for many of us when we were growing up. Some people were so inspired by Disney movies that they continue to bring them to life all these years later.

Perhaps it’s no wonder this guy wanted to dress as Captain Hook? He might have been Peter Pan’s nemesis, but it was hard for many of us not to fall in love with Hook. It’s not every day we get to see a pirate with a grudge against a crocodile. However, that’s just the day you’re in for if you head to Comic-Con.

Many different people have become Ghost Rider over the years

Ghost Rider is more than just one person. It all started thanks to Johnny Blaze as the character agrees to sell his soul to save his dad. The twist? Every night Johnny would turn into a burning skeleton who rode his stunt motorbike around town. He was just the first of many as other characters have since learned how to harness the power for themselves.

Ghost Riders are practically indestructible as nothing can harm them. They can also ride their motorbike at unbelievable speeds over huge gaps. The life of a Ghost Rider isn’t always easy, but it was intriguing enough for one cosplayer. This woman put a new spin on the character and even managed to recreate the famous burning hair.

Aliens have been scaring people for decades, thanks to the original movie

There are horror movies, and then there’s ‘Alien.’ The original film hit the big screen in 1979 and spooked millions of people around the world. After all, in space, no one can hear you scream. The movie follows a crew working on a spacecraft as they learn there is a bloodthirsty and violent alien stalking their every move around the ship.

Many of us still remember that chestburster scene that saw the squeamish run for the bathroom. While they might not want to take over the galaxy, these aliens do want to hunt down and eliminate any race that could stand in their way – including humans. There is a good reason that Alien costumes are still such a hit at Comic-Con: they’re a tried-and-tested favorite.

Deadpool got a makeover before he arrived at Comic-Con in 2018

If there is one thing that many of us love about Deadpool, it’s that he is known to push the boundaries and take things to a new level. Ryan Reynolds was the perfect man to bring the antihero to life in 2016 and instantly helped Deadpool to become one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The character is known for his ability to heal faster than anyone else and his physical prowess. This drag queen took Deadpool and turned them into something entirely different: Deadpool with style. Their creative twist on the antihero was enough to make them the talk of the town at Comic-Con as everyone realized this is just the kind of thing the real Deadpool would do.

Being so well known means Dumbledore is a tough character to perfect

There are plenty of Harry Potter characters who have earned their fair share of fans over the years. Some people want justice for Dobby the House Elf, while others think Snape deserves a spin-off series of his own. Whatever the case, there is usually one man in the middle of it all: Albus Dumbledore.

The wizard eventually rose to become the headmaster of Hogwarts and went down in history as one of the greatest wizards of his time. He was a keen muggle supporter and always wanted the best for Harry and every other student that passed through the school. Being so beloved means it can be hard to bring Dumbledore to life. That didn’t stop this cosplayer from doing the perfect job.

It’s not every day we get to see Thanos and Jon Snow in the same room

If there is one thing that many people love about Comic-Con, it’s the fact that anything can happen. Sure, it might seem as though fantasy drama ‘Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow and Marvel supervillain Thanos would never cross paths, but wait until you head to Comic-Con. Here, anything could happen – even the strangest meeting in history.

It turns out that Thanos is less concerned with collecting the stones for the Infinity Gauntlet and more worried about talking to one of the most beloved characters of the 21st-century. There was once a time when Jon Snow’s name was on everyone’s lips. The same can be said for Thanos, but for very different reasons. These cosplayers certainly made some people’s bizarre dreams come true.

Darth Maul quickly became one of the most popular Star Wars characters

Just because the sci-fi ‘Star Wars’ franchise is set in a galaxy far, far away, that doesn’t mean it was always filled with aliens. That was until Darth Maul came along. The character was praised for bringing diversity to the franchise as he took on – and defeated – some of the best Jedis in the galaxy. Then there’s his double-sided lightsaber.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Darth Maul never accidentally cut off an arm while throwing that thing around? This woman seems to be one of the many who were impressed with the villain as she created a Darth Maul outfit fit for Comic-Con. The best bit? This kid looks more than happy to have run into the famous Darth Maul.

Combining steampunk and C-3PO created an incredibly unique Comic-Con costume

Fluent in six million forms of communication, a hilarious addition, and has appeared in almost every ‘Star Wars’ movie? That’s right; we can only be talking about C-3PO. The droid accidentally finds himself teamed up with R2-D2 as the pair find themselves in an escape pod together. It was the start of something beautiful.

The two became the comic relief that many of us needed throughout the franchise, but that doesn’t mean things can’t be changed every now and then. What better way to change up C-3PO than by adding some steampunk elements to the mix? After all, they are two incredibly beloved things. Now, this cosplayer can show off their creativity as everyone at Comic-Con stops and stares at their creation.

Black Panther was an instant hit when it was released in 2018

Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ changed the game back in 2018 as the superhero movie quickly became one of the most popular in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It didn’t take long for people to fall in love with just about every character from the film, including Okoye. She is one of the greatest warriors in Wakanda and even runs the all-female Dora Milaje.

Okoye is an incredible martial artist who knows how to take down any threat that may come her way. As if this woman’s Comic-Con outfit wasn’t spot on enough already, she has even remembered to include Okoye’s famous staff and spear that’s helped her defeat and stop many enemies throughout the years. Who knew that a cosplayer could make things look so effortless?

Pennywise the Dancing Clown was designed to be as terrifying as possible

Sorry to any clown-haters out there, but Pennywise was bound to arrive at some point. It features in horror movies ‘It’ and ‘It Chapter Two’ as he tries to terrify people before consuming them. Who doesn’t like to terrify their food before they sit down for a meal? Stephen King is the original author behind It and has a good reason for picking a clown.

Apparently, he asked himself what terrified children the most. He quickly came up with the idea of a clown who lived in the sewer like some kind of troll under a bridge. This cosplayer has certainly brought a clown to life that most of us want to avoid. We’re not sure we want to look into their eyes for much longer.

Several people have tried to bring Pennywise to life in their own way

It’s a case of who wore it better. Just when you thought one Pennywise the Dancing Clown was enough, another one comes along to brighten things up. The movie first came out in 2017, with the sequel hitting the big screen two years later. Pennywise’s instant effect on the world was enough to make the terrifying creature go down in history.

Now, many people want to bring him to life in their own way. It might be time to pack another pair of pants before heading to Comic-Con. The more we think about it, the more we realize It could be hiding as anyone at the convention. After all, It knows how to shapeshift into something we find terrifying, right?

Anthem received mixed reviews but became an instant favorite to many fans

Video games have become popular for all kinds of reasons. ‘Anthem’ was one that received plenty of mixed reviews. Some people instantly fell for the gameplay as people become freelancers who work together to protect the planet from any threat. All they need is a powerful exosuit to defend the land, and they’re good to go. That’s where Ranger comes in.

While some critics thought the game was repetitive, others loved the combat throughout the story. Ranger is one of the most beloved exosuits as it comes with everything a beginner needs to succeed and skills that a veteran can use to their advantage. It appears this cosplayer is so in love with the exosuit that they made their own – incredibly detailed – one to wear to Comic-Con.

Some cosplayer outfits take hours of dedication to ensure they’re ready for Comic-Con

If you’ve seen the horror franchise ‘Hellraiser,’ there’s a good chance you know who this is. Pinhead is a horror character that’s terrified many of us over the years. If you’re new to the series, you could be surprised to learn that Pinhead used to be a human. Elliot Spencer once served in the army, but he lost his faith in humanity after seeing the horrors of war.

The character has been described as neither a demon nor an angel, leading many to question if he really is a bad guy after all. Whatever the case, he makes for a terrifying look – and one that seems pretty hard to recreate. That didn’t stop one cosplayer from giving it her all and pulling off this incredible look.

Mystery Inc. have been solving crimes and winning fans for decades

You don’t have to try and terrify people or wow the crowd with your look at Comic-Con. Sometimes, an old classic could be all you need to put a smile on everyone’s face. That was the case for this group of friends as they brought the Mystery Inc. to life in 2018. Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo were back at it again in a whole new way.

They are some of the most beloved characters from many of our childhoods, meaning they are tough characters to bring to life. Thankfully, these four managed to pull things off as they posed for their Comic-Con picture. They even found a way to bring Scooby along for the day. Better hope he wasn’t heavy.

Frankenstein’s Monster has been given plenty of redeeming storylines since the original

Some stories have stood the test of time. ‘Frankenstein’ is one of the few that has survived all these years as students worldwide study the novel and others want to remember the famous characters from the story. Mary Shelley was the author behind the novel that tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who eventually creates a living, thinking creature: Frankenstein’s Monster.

The creature has appeared in a host of movies and TV shows over the years, often shown to be more loving than the monster he’s made out to be in the original story. Perhaps it’s no wonder this cosplaying couple wanted to add a steampunk twist to Frankenstein’s Monster and his bride when they turned up to Comic-Con?

Harley Quinn’s popularity helped introduce Poison Ivy to the world

Harley Quinn helped make the women behind supervillains get their time in the limelight. It wasn’t long before Poison Ivy got the attention she deserved. She is one of the lesser-known characters in DC Comics, but that doesn’t mean she is lacking in plenty of talent and charm. The antihero is close friends with Harley Quinn and Catwoman and even had a romantic fling with Harley Quinn.

She is often seen covered with leaves and vines as Poison Ivy uses her mind-controlling pheromones to protect the environment and any endangered species. Not only has this cosplayer managed to bring the character to life in all the right ways, but she has even found the perfect location for a pre-Comic-Con photoshoot.

Overwatch introduced many loveable characters, including fan-favorite Tracer

2016 marked a new age for video games as ‘Overwatch’ hit the shelves. It wasn’t long before millions of people around the world fell for the first-person shooter. Tracer is one of the many characters that people can choose from and is known for her energetic and peppy personality. What Tracer lacks in health, she more than makes up for with her skills.

This makes her a popular choice for many and a character many cosplayers want to bring to life. Her ability to blink through time and tackle enemies from just about every angle means Tracer is a true force to be reckoned with. This cosplayer has taken everything from Tracer’s weapons to her famous hairdo and made it her own.

Harley Quinn and the Joker got a little shake-up before Comic-Con

When you think of Harley Quinn and the Joker, you probably think of the standard characters who have graced our lives, right? The chances are you don’t typically think of a female Joker or a male Harley. That didn’t stop one cosplaying couple from switching things up and putting a twist on a beloved villainous couple. The best bit? They fit the roles perfectly.

Everything from Harley’s hammer to his shoes matches the character, while the Joker has all the pizzazz she needs to bring the charismatic and charming character to life. One of the great things about any Comic-Con is it shows just how creative and talented cosplayers are when it comes to creating costumes that stand out in the crowd.

Becoming a Comic-Con cosplayer can take a lot of work and effort

If you want to stand up to some cosplayers, you need to be willing to put in a lot of effort. That certainly seems to be the case for this woman as she became Greta Gremlin for Comic-Con. Her long hair, bright red lipstick, and leopard print outfit meant Greta always stood out among the other gremlins.

Apparently, she stood out so much to this cosplayer that she decided to become the character. Greta often shows that she won’t take any nonsense as she attacks any of the gremlins that try and hit on her in the film. In the end, there is only one man with the key to her heart, and he comes in the form of Forster, an employee at Clamp Center.

Widowmaker is one of the ultimate assassins the gaming world has ever seen

If you want to be a perfect assassin, you might want to take a leaf out of Widowmaker’s book. The character appears in the video game ‘Overwatch,’ where she proves she will grab anything and everything she needs to take out her target. That doesn’t mean that Widowmaker will run in all guns blazing. Oh no, this character waits for her moment to shine.

Don’t expect any emotion from Widowmaker, though, as she feels nothing toward the people she takes out along the way. She is a powerful female character who was brought to life at Comic-Con thanks to one dedicated cosplayer. She truly wowed the crowd as she added just about every detail she could to her suit and skin.

Robin Buckley became the star of Stranger Things is season three

The sci-fi horror series ‘Stranger Things’ took over the world in 2016. It introduced many young actors to the world and became an instant hit with millions of people around the world. The series is set in the 1980s and is filled with all the suspense and spooks that many of us need in our lives.

Although it’s a huge hit, the creators think ‘Stranger Things’ will come to an end after season five – boo. Robin became the star of the series in season three as she showed off her snarky and often sarcastic personality. Sometimes, being a cosplayer means thinking outside of the box to make a character come to life. That’s what this woman managed to achieve as she headed to Comic-Con.

Machiko Noguchi plays a huge part in the Alien vs. Predator storyline

People around the world rejoiced when ‘Alien vs. Predator’ first became a thing. Suddenly, people got to see their two favorite sci-fi characters go head to head in a battle like never before. The two species started battling with each other back in 1989 as comic books told the story of their wars. It wasn’t long before the tale was turned into a video game.

From there, ‘Alien vs. Predator’ has earned a movie series that’s gained even more fans than many people ever expected. Machiko Noguchi teamed up with the Predators for many years as she tried to regain her family’s honor, but eventually turns on the Predators as they try to hunt down all the remaining humans on the planet.

Harley Quinn has been through plenty of costume changes throughout the years

Several superheroes and villains have been through plenty of change throughout the years. Their personalities evolve, and their enemies often change. Another on the list? Their outfits. Harley Quinn is one of the many who has been through plenty of notable changes as she’s moved from animated series to comic books to the big screen.

To start, Harley wore her now-famous black and red court jester outfit. For many years, Harley stuck to the black and red theme in various ways. It appears this cosplayer wanted to pay respect to Harley Quinn’s former look with a twist. Rather than going full-court jester, she decided to switch things up with a black and red dress instead. Thankfully, it’s still a winning look.

Comic-Con is usually filled with different versions of Harley Quinn

Of course, it wouldn’t be Comic-Con without someone paying respect to Harley Quinn’s famous look. The antihero rocked the court jester look for decades before Margot Robie was cast as the character and went through a pretty noticeable costume change. Now, many of us are used to seeing Harley in hot pants and fishnet tights with a baseball bat by her side.

That wasn’t always the case. An oversized hammer and comical getup was once more Harley’s style. Although things have changed a lot for the character over the years, she is still the same Harley that many of us have fallen for over the years. Whether it’s a black and red look or her new pink and blue outfit, cosplayers never fail to impress.
