Is Black Widow always that popular at conventions?

[CyberHubbs]

It's probably one of the easiest female costumes to make, and looks sexy.

Hah. I love the last booty-shot with the pistol.

[CyberHubbs]

I still refuse to believe that there are that many pretty female comic book readers, though.

Paid actors?

How come there are rarely MJ cosplays?

Actually, you'd be surprised how many female cosplayers at big Cons are actually porn models. There are alot that do Cons professional too, and get paid for it.

I know too damn cold, they all come dress up as Sasquatch, or beast.. but sexy versions.

Yeah. I was surprised I was able to order an iPad. Canada never gets anything good, that's why we are stuck with leftovers such as Alpha Flight

Is Black Widow a redhead? If so, how come there aren't that many MJ cosplays, isn't she the most popular Marvel female?

I think it's a lot of regular cosplayers looking for any reason to dress up, also. Free (mostly) publicity for all their hard work.

I know the girl who did the talking Wheatley puppet took over a year to make it, so there's definitely some nerd-like dedication to their craft involved.

[Scott M Davis]

No doubt about it, there are alot of people, nerds like you and him, who put hundreds of hours in making costumes for conventions, just for the chance to be seen. I applaud everyone who makes their own costumes. it hard work.

Nice costumes, my favorites are She-Hulk and Cable.

I think Jean Grey is Marvels most popular female but the Avengers movie is making Black Widow quite popular these days.

[cookepuss]

Nice costumes, my favorites are She-Hulk and Cable.

Those are the ones that made me laugh the most though. Cable's got a double chin and Shulkie has rolls.

Those aren't rolls. She's just bending over slightly. She's also not crazy thin.

Who is that fat Asian guy with in the suit, tie and shades supposed to be? Tony Stark? Such an unoriginal and unimaginative costume...
