It’s that time of year again! Anne and I spent this weekend at Wizard World Chicago in scenic Rosemont, IL, where we generally had a blast surrounded by fellow fans of comics and genre TV/movies even though parts of it resemble hard work and our feet feel battle-damaged after three days of endless walking, standing, lining up, shuffling forward in cattle-call formation, and scurrying toward exciting people and things.
In Part One, we gave you great moments in comic-con jazz hands. In Part Two, DC Comics cosplay, including a special performance by the Suicide Squad. In this chapter: it’s Marvel’s turn to represent.
Okay, first order of business: a few token Deadpools. We saw far fewer Deadpool variants at WWC than we did at all our previous 2016 conventions, even those with a fraction of the attendance figures. Either we’ve passed Peak Deadpool Costumes, or he’s begrudgingly abdicated his cosplay throne to Harley Quinn.

We geezers here at MCC always run across one or more costumes representing characters that are better known to the kids these days but strangers to us. If you recognize Wolverine’s new friend, who’s really not Storm, please feel free to educate us in the comment section. We have a long-standing policy of appreciating lessons about new universes.

Cable would like you to meet his favorite partners: THESE GUNS. (Seriously, though, this is the best Cable cosplay I’ve ever seen.)
