There’s One At Every Con
No matter how many years go by, some characters just refuse to go out of style, especially when it comes to the cosplay scene. With San Diego Comic Con 2018 just around the corner, you can expect to see plenty of fans attending the event while dressed as these iconic figures!
#5: Sailor Moon
“Sailor Moon†series (1992-2016)
Fighting evil by moonlight and attending anime conventions by daylight, it’s fair to say one of anime’s most recognizable heroines will never be in short supply as far as cosplay goes. While the other members of the Sailor Senshi also get a lot of love, it’s nothing compared to their not so fearless leader. With a massive following in both the east and west, you’re bound to see many fans brushing off their skirts, grabbing their crazy long blonde ponytails and busting out those signature poses.
#4: The Doctor
“Doctor Who†(1963-89; 2005-)
You don’t know what a fandom is until you have experienced the sheer awe and devotion that is the Whovian community. Given the various incarnations of this iconic character, there are plenty of choices for fans to dress up as, and as you might have expected each has their own fierce preference. Whether it’s old school giants like Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor or modern hits such as Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor, there will be no shortage of Time Lords at whatever convention you attend. Of course, out of all of his regenerations, none has quite managed to capture cosplayers’ hearts more than David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor. Be on the lookout for plenty of oversized coats.
#3: Spider-Man
“Marvel Universe” (1961-)
Apparently great power means great responsibility when it comes to nailing a costume. Of course, that begs the questions of which costume, because holy hell does old web-head have a colossal wardrobe. Whether it’s his classic costume from the comics, one of the versions we have seen on screen, the Black Suit, the 2099 suit, Miles Morales’ suit, Spider-Girl, the Iron Spider, or the Superior Spider-Man, there is literally no end to the amount of looks this guy has. Hence why we see so many wall-crawlers attending cons.
#2: Deadpool
“Marvel Universe” (1961-)
Just managing to outperform his fellow masked compadre, none has managed to garner so much mainstream acclaim in recent years than the Merc with the Mouth. Given how he loves nothing more than to break the Fourth Wall, it only makes sense that so many of his fans would attempt to emulate him by getting dressed up in their own tight red jump suits. Much like Spidey, there are so many alternate versions of Deadpool that it only furthers the cosplay phenomena.
#1: The Joker & Harley Quinn
“DC Universe” (1939-)
The Clown Prince of Crime and his devoted henchwoman have nearly taken out the Bat on multiple occasions, so naturally they make for the ultimate couple’s cosplay! Whether it’s just splashing on a bit of make-up or going all out, there’s no end to the number of psychotic clowns you’ll see wandering around conventions. As for Harley, her appearances in animation, film and video games have given her an ample number of enticing outfits to choose from. For better or worse, these two show no signs of slowing down.
