Cosplay of the Day

San Diego Comic-Con always brings out the cream-of-the-crop cosplayers, who've worked tirelessly -- some even over the course of a few months -- to become their favorite geek-centric characters. But nothing during this year's convention was able to top the hulking Apocalypse cosplay that stomped its way through the hallways...

You'll be hard pressed to find anyone who wasn't disappointed with 'Silent Hill: Revelation,' but to the film's credit, it certainly got Pyramid Head right. The iconic villain from the 'Silent Hill' movie series and video game franchise is one of the most visually striking and terrifying horror characters in recent memory, so it's only appropriate that we celebrate Halloween today with some absolu

As a superhero, Captain America has always been about being a symbol more than a man, so it's somehow appropriate that today's cosplay sees the first Avenger transformed into one kick-ass duo! If Captain America was actually Captains of America, we imagine they'd look something like cosplayers Amanda Herbert and Chris Murray.

Anne Hathaway's take on Selina Kyle and Catwoman in 'The Dark Knight Rises' may have redefined the character for a new generation of moviegoers, but for our money, you still can't beat Michelle Pfeiffer's sexy and crazy take on the character from Tim Burton's 'Batman Returns.' It seems that cosplayer Belladonna agrees. After all, she's gone and created a near-perfect replica of the iconic costume.

Seemingly overnight, Green Arrow has gone from being one of DC Comics' B-listers to the biggest superhero on television thanks to The CW's 'Arrow.' As with all things geeky, newfound popularity always means a surge in cosplay. However, this take on television's favorite costumed vigilante isn't just shockingly well done, it comes from a cosplayer who has a history with this character from before h

Although his brother's name is the one on the poster and in the opening titles, Loki (and by extension, actor Tom Hiddleston) has one of the hearts of the fans. The scheming Norse god and Marvel supervillain menaced Asgard in 'Thor,' brought an alien invasion to Earth in 'The Avengers' and will soon return to the big screen in 'Thor: The Dark World.' Calm down, Tumblr. We can hear you breathing fr

It'll be quite some time before we actually get to see what James Spader's bad guy will look like in Joss Whedon's 'Avengers 2,' but we'll be perfectly honest: we hope he's half as cool and menacing as this cosplayer. Seriously, this is no cheap, quick costume; under the proper lighting, this thing could work for an actual superhero movie!

Most of the time, cosplay is simply geek exhibitionism at its finest, a chance for someone to pay tribute to a character they love and to make other fans of said character happy. But that's not every case. The Cybertronic Spree's elaborate 'Transformers' cosplay is a part of their act. Yep, they're probably the only band in the world that dresses like Autobots and performs songs from the 'Transfor

The world of 'Tron' lends itself perfectly to cosplay. Well, in theory. The colorful costumes seen in the Grid are totally unique from anything else in pop culture and very cool to look at, but how do you go about making one actually look good? If you think that sounds like a ton of work, you'd be right. Thankfully, there are cosplayers like Annisse out there, showing everyone else how to do it ri

'The Avengers' may be a movie filled with gods, monsters, aliens, robot suits and super soldiers, but the character of Natasha Romanov (aka Black Widow) proves that you don't need to have superpowers to be in a lineup with the world's mightiest superheroes. A deadly Russian agent turned agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., the greatest spy in the Marvel universe has been a popular cosplay subject for years, and
