Comic-Con was a few weeks ago, so this might not be the most topical subject, but no one ever said these drafts had touch on current events anyway, soshutupwhateverleavemealone. The beautiful thing about the event is that it’s a place for geeks to geek out to the fullest extent without fear of being judged (at least too severely). This leads to the only setting other than an IMF protest where you see average folks decked out in overly elaborate costumes. It’s actually cool to see socially backward people to use their creative energy on things that don’t involve stalking.
Therefore, you too will now draft a fictional character’s costume/get-up to wear to Comic-Con. It should probably be something sci-fi, video game or comics related, but we’re willing to relax the rules for other pop culture totems.
With my first pick, I select Inspector Gadget, that way I’ll conveniently have a trench coat ready so I can flash Olivia Munn.

Hoban “Wash” Washburne from Firefly. (What? There were comic books too.)
All you need is a Hawaiian shirt, some plastic dinosaurs and Gina Torres. And if Gina Torres is naked, you don’t need the other stuff.

Late with my second pick, but what the hell:
MASTER CYLINDER!
soooo late:
Capt. Yesterday
/not just fast but from the past
the Shaven Yak

Being a black geek is tough. After Lando, Luke Cage, Blade, and John Stewart there aren’t many anti-asskicking inducing costumes to wear at Comic-Con.
… almost forgot T’Challa, the Black Panther. I’ll take him for my 2nd on the off chance there might be an attractive young lady dressed up as Storm… or Sue Richards… or Emma Frost…
Tommy Vercetti from Vice City. I’d just wear a hawaiian shirt with jeans, carry a big fucking gun, then I’d mug a few nerds and tell them that it’s part of my character.
Rorshach, motherfucker is badass as they come.
Mr. White from Resevoir Dogs. Or maybe Mr. Blonde; I can’t decide.
following the example set by other AS fans…
Beck Bristow, because i could always nail the chick dressed as Debbie. no, not Black Debbie
Tyler Durden
and as an employee who works there, not as some dipshit who bought a ticket to go
Dr. Doom
A sweet mask, a floor length green cape, and an excuse to refer to yourself in the 3rd person? Yes please.

El Kabong. I have always, ALWAYS wanted to hit someone in the head with a guitar.
Yorick from Y: the last man, Gas mask, Poncho, Capauchin Monkey (plush). Sorta dated, but I like it.
Cock-knocker: punch nerds in the balls all day and pretend to be Luke skywalker
PacMan…. I gon’ drank!
Deadshot from Batman is badass
I would say Chuckie or Captain Caveman, but since Rob Ryan’s not a Raider anymore (and Jon Gruden’s not been one for a while), I’ll go with Barack Obama. Scariest. Cartoon. Villain. Ever.
Let the PoFlaWa commence…
Stan Gable (Ted McGinley) from Revenge of the Nerds. Because fuck them, that’s why.
Surly Duff.
“Surly Duff only looks out for one guy, Surly Duff”
Emo Eagles fan, complete with dead dog accessory

/70s kick
The Masturbating Bear.

Hong Kong Phooey and his trusty sidekick Spot.
Dr. Impossible

Comicon was an interesting place. I loved walking around seeing the socially awkward people interact. They’re just so damn cute. On the video game note: are all you football fans going to buy Madden this year? http://whowhatwherewheny.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/madden-2010-will-you-buy/
willy wonka
Mike Nelson to spark the Mike v. Joel debates.
Jayne Cobb from Firefly. Just so that I could wear the hat.
/a man walks down the street wearing a hat like that, people know he’s not afraid of anything
Let’s try that again…

Lightning from Big Trouble in Little China. I just love scaring the ever loving shit out of geeks.
Towelie..you wanna get high?
I was going to say “A Vagina,” but nobody there would know what I was, so I’ll go with “Invisible Man.”
1) Nobody would see me at Comic-Con
2) I could sneak into Olivia Munn’s dressing room and her shower the Geek Goo off.
Hmm. SGT Rock. Or Gloop or Gleep from the Herculoids. All I’d need is a sheet.
Imperious Leader
John McClane
Powdered Toast Man.

Carl from Otto’s avatar. Zubaz and a wifebeater. Child Please.
Meatwad
Carl Brutananadilewski…was going to go with Master Shake, but this move actually would not require a lot of thought and or expansion of my current wardrobe selections
Twiki (with Dr. Theopolis)
*the Aztec guy was Vadinho. Anybody want him?
“Each man is a god… each man is free.”
Dark Helmet
The Pumaman. I’ll need a giant Aztec guy as the sidekick/guy who actually did everything.
Tom in VA, +1
Ren. So I could smack them all around and call them stupid idiots
I think I’ll take Brak, but it has to be the retarded, incompetent version from Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
That way, I wouldn’t have to act any different than normal.
Blade. Complete with the kitana so I could fillet some nerds like wild Alaskan salmon. Because I’m insane like that.
RE Otto Man Says:
“Slash wins.”
I don’t have a problem with comic cons in theory, and maybe 20 years ago, they were not so odd, but now, it just seems like a convention for attention whore chicks to dress up like Princess Leia in the gold bikini or Lara whatsherface so all the nerds will shower them with sweaty praise (ew). And then there are (I imagine) the inevitable Star Wars vs. Star Trek debates.
/have never been a comic con, so I may be judging too harshly
How the fuck did the Master Chief last this long?
Joel Robinson.
Samus from Metroid
Duke Nukem
Zapp Brannigan
The re-animated corpse of Michael Jackson. FTW.
