Wondercon 2010's Cosplayers...Love the iPad
And now for something a little different. The iPad launch wasn't the only thing happening on Saturday; this was also the weekend of Wondercon, San Francisco's annual comic-book convention. While our buddies at ComicVine were on the Wondercon expo floor interviewing writers and artists, we were checking out the fans that showed up in full cosplay gear. 
 
We just so happen to have our iPad in tow, and decided to put it in the hands of superheroes and Stormtroopers. Batman thought the iPad would fit nicely in his utility belt, Sulu found it a little familiar, and steampunk scientists got a kick out of using such modern technology. And Captain America, the greatest patriot of all, approved this symbol of lavish capitalism. See? The iPad isn't just about the future of computing. It's about freedom.
 
Check out our full gallery below. It's the union of cosplay and new technology--two of my favorite things together at last. And, if you want the iPad wallpaper shown in the photos, click this link!
 
Which one is your favorite?

I feel there's an extra set of pictures in the recesses of Coonce's hard drive.

My favorite would have to be the purple Batman.

Purple batman looks like either the coolest or creepiest guy there. Sulu is probably the best picture though.

Dude, "open your eyes," it's the Robot Unicorn.

The TF2 Scout is great. The Nightcrawler guy's costume is really well done though. I wish I could have gone to this, seems really fun.

That rat with "i love the haters" is pretty creepy.

Till you mentioned it, never noticed the horn. Still find that guy creepy. As for the game, it was nice, never really played any Adult Swim games, just have heard good things.

The one at the end of the third row is clearly the best.

Awesome Robot Unicorn couldn't seem less impressed by the iPad.
HojoTheGreat on April 5, 2010
Cammy + Chun-Li obviously.

The monarch henchman is my favorite, I think it's the combination of fat and dumb look on the face.
FLStyle on April 5, 2010
Not even Sub-Zero could freeze the iPad!
Sandor on April 5, 2010
Sulu and the stormtroopers are not impressed with this primitive piece of technology.
trekkiebeth on April 5, 2010
That's not Sulu, it's Kirk. Look at the uniform.
