We’re Still Talking About These Comic-Con Costumes That will Blow Your Mind

Marioo

Sometimes it’s best to keep things simple. We appreciate intricate cosplays that pay homage to obscure characters, but nothing beats a traditional Mario – and this guy appears to be channeling the Nintendo hero. Take a look at that rolling grin! Through that photo, you can almost hear him cry, “It’s-a me! Mario!” – which is exactly what cosplay is all about. It’s not just about dressing up as a character; it’s about inhabiting, channeling, and bringing them to life, as this Mario cosplayer appears to be doing.

Octavius, Doctor

We’re truly scared of this costume because it appears to need the same level of technological know-how as building real Doc-Ock arms, and we all know how that narrative ends. Even still, if this individual is a Spiderman fan, he is undoubtedly aware that great power comes with great responsibility. And, as far as we’re concerned, making and wearing this costume is the definition of enormous power – therefore all we can hope is that this individual is to blame.
