Cosplay ideas for Comic Con NYC 2013

The_GingerBeard_Man

I am going to Comic Con NYC in October, and I am looking for some good costume ideas.

I kind of love my beard, and dont want to shave it off. My first thought is the Green Arrow, kind of CW Arrow style. But I am going for three days, and I kind of want to dress up three different ways! Anyone know of some other fun ideas for bearded guys?

Also, if any of you have some cool costumes pics from your adventures, please share.

Leonidas!!! DOOO EEEEEIT!

Otherwise I cannot think of many others right on the spot lol, but there are probably lots of good characters that have beards.

I don't have pics from when I went to the one in Edmonton but I did the Songstress Costume of Yuna complete with my real hair colored and cut like hers hahaha. It was pretty good but not awesome for sure.

You beat me to it! All I needed to hear was "beard" and of course King Leonidas is the answer.

If you're into Skyrim, you could always do a bearded Dovahkiin. Aside from King Leonidas, when I think beard, I think Nord.

Is it sad that I pronounce Dovahkiin just the same as the game every time I see it... or think of it lol. That's a pretty good idea! Doing a skyrim costume can be as much or as little work as you want really so it's really good option.

You should go as Sailor Jupiter, the girls would be all up in dat!

delaniecastillo

Go as Michael Moore!

You could be Prince Vultan who was King of the flying people in Flash Gordon, you'd have to shout a lot though

Ooh! Mr. Sinister. Aquaman... General Zod!

Plenty of Game of Thrones characters would let you keep the beard.

Thor
Odin

You can always take a non-bearded character and just make him more epic as we all understand how beards just make everything better.

Good point!

In that case: Rogue.

Capt_Inzane

Rogue with a beard...umm I wonder if you touched her beard would she sap more than just your powers/life essence

ummm
*strokes beard while pondering*

I do love skyrim, and I had been thinking about doing a dovahkin character. I love it.

Actually these are all great suggestions. Thanks!

I totally forgot about Salvadore and just thought about him before seeing that post! Borderlandsssss!

If you really wanted to be fun, be CL4P-TP. I would be love to see Clap Tap done hahaha, and if you were in my city while doing it I would 100% high five you and dress up as Maya.

I killed it as a somewhat sexualized version of the Hamburgler at a supervillian convention last year. He, however, is beardless.

djshari

Axton from Borderlands 2, he has some beardy heads

alikonda

Definitely approve of the Borderlands 2 Salvador recommendation.

Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop


Twisted Fate from League of Legends

Jet Black is a GREAT idea!!!!

Also, I want to hate Twisted Fate because I'm a Gambit nerd and he's so very rip-off, but I can't help but like his style. His gameplay, not as much.

alikonda

But Twisted Fate sure does look cool in the cinematic Riot recently put out. PLUS, if you cosplay as him, you can throw playing cards at people all day. Who wouldn't want to do that??

I was going to mention the cinematic-- I got a kick out of it. But I'm holding out for Amumu. Poor little bud.

carbons2k

If I was creative enough, id go as Voltron

Alex_is_Hawks

capt nemo from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

alikonda

Oh, how could we forget --

Jayne from Firefly!!

mandasalem

Chief Tyrol from BSG would also be awesome. He got mighty beardy during New Caprica.

ETA: Destruction from Sandman! But as an occasional Death cosplayer, I warn you that sometimes you hit a limited audience. I ran into another Death at PAX this year, and it was very amusing. Got a great picture together.
