Supergirl
So, Coco settled on the Linda Danvers Supergirl costume! That still didn’t stop her from having the uncomfortable fanboy interaction. I haven’t seen this exact scenario play out but I have seen some weird ones. Gotta any weird cosplay stories? I’d love to hear ‘em.
Next strip: Nicknames!

Black Lantern shirt is a nice touch.
Nice catch!
I worked security for Wrath of Con, twice. I have no idea how I got talked into doing it the second time. At the first one a 350lb, 6-1/2 foot guy with a full beard and wearing a sailor school girl uniform, stared hitting on me.
*started*
That’s pretty terrifying. Sounds like a Tim Burton movie.
The thing about wearing clothes that are too small for you is that there are a LOT of places for the pepper spray to go.
Hahaha!
Man, that guy should have done Volstag, from Thor. If he was actually in shape, Hogan the Grim, or maybe Odin. But Sailor Moon?
Yeah, you’ve gotta play to your strengths.
lol that is funny stuff
Thanks!
My best story would have to be from this year at Supanova. 2 actually. The first was I ran into a guy cosplayed as a full (Tricycle and all) Billy from Saw. Talked with him about murder, torture and what not for about 10 minutes while I had my Diecast .45 against his head (I went as a Wastelander from Fallout. My own design). The second and my favorite, I found an original Scorpion (MK1) and I had a fight with him in the main dome. We did abide by the 99 second rule and 3 round format but it was fun. Except the weird creepy (And not to sound racist. I am part aboriginal) Black Sailor Scouts. They were just, staring at us. Without a soul…
I have weird feelings about Sir Black Lantern. How could Supergirl really exist? Unless he believe’s in the Rocky And Bullwinkle movie formula.
He could just be WAY out of touch.
Ghosts, Aliens, Amazons, Time-Travelers, Robots, Amazons, Telekenetics, and women with Hulk powers really exist. A Supergirl really existing is not as much of a stretch as you might initially think. (Particularly seeing as how the girl who he thinks is Supergirl actually does have superpowers-not a bad guess for a guy who’s delusional!)
Very good point. He’s one of the more sane ones in the room!
yup, she looks smashing in that and is prolly quite comfortable, even while giving out an eyefull… ah, cons. Don’t cosplay meself, as the only character with any kind of body similarity would be hellboy.
On the other hand, at the big dance a few years back, I saw a skeevy guy giving a hard time to a very pretty Poison Ivy…
So I stepped up and said: “and do you think her father would be happy to see a stranger asking such propositioning questions to a young woman?”
‘um, are you… her father?’
I just cocked an eyebrow, and looked over my glasses, and boyo retreated as fast as he could through the crowd. He didn’t want to find out if I was her father or not…
About that time our young Ivy’s friends showed up and I suggested they always travel in pairs, so as to avoid creepy guys… they all giggled once Ivy told them about the skeevy guy. I wasn’t in costume, but I am 6′ and shaped like a bear.
Good to hear there are people out there looking out for those dealing with the creeps.
Initiate the con tasers. Yes, it’s just a cattle prod with the instensity overloaded with a mini fusion reactor. Nothing else can handle the disruption caused by the neck beards.
I go to Heroes Con all the time and the crowd there is usually pretty cool.
Tase him! Tase him right in his new prototype iPad 6!
Ipad 6?! I want one!
Gotta hit them where it hurts, right in their geeky little hearts.
That definitely got my interest up.
I was trying to fit as many stereotypes in as possible. I think I could’ve gotten more. :/
Oh, I’m sure there are more out there.
Right in their geeky big wallets.
That does feel like it’s the case sometimes.
Just poured through the archive overnight. My favorite strip so far was the group hug, and Poe’s comment on it. I got a warm fuzzy off that one. Tripp is now bookmarked.
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out and taking the time to comment! Welcome!
