Marvel Girl & Rule 63 Cyclops, cosplayed by Ali Kay & Betty Felon

So I just realized that I never posted these from San Diego Comic Con (oops), but anyway, here’s that time when we crossed over to the Marvel side. I redesigned Scott Summers’ digs into a colorblock dress, modified a pair of sunglasses for my visor, whipped up the X-symbol belts, and made AK’s Marvel Girl mask; meanwhile, AK created her Marvel Girl dress from scratch. Our gloves, boots, and wigs were acquired from Dorothy’s Boutique and eBay.

As much as we loved running around as Bats earlier during the convention, it was actually quite nice trading in our dark capes for something a little more mutant.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - Comic-Con Fashionistas Edition!
Within the mass of enthusiastic fans at San Diego’s Comic-Con International,  there is always a selection of notable attendees who are dressed to  impress both fellow nerds and fashionistas. These attendees straddle the  line between couture and cosplay, putting their own stylish twist on a  classic costume design or re-imagining mere objects of nerdy pop culture  as wearable apparel (such as Jennifer Landa’s ingenious Death Star dress).  These are the fans who stand out from the sea of swag t-shirts and  booth girls in the crowded exhibit halls, and we’ve assembled some of  the most stylish and clever outfits spotted at Comic-Con.
Check out the photo parade of some of the most stylish outfits spotted at San Diego Comic Con on ComicsAlliance!
