WonderCon 2023 cosplay was in full swing this past weekend, and the cosplayers left nothing on the table. Comic book, movie, and gaming characters came to life in what seemed to be a run-up to Masquerade, WonderCon 2023’s Saturday night costume contest. Located at the Anaheim Convention Center, just across the street from Disneyland, geeks & pop-culture enthusiasts swarmed back to WonderCon 2023 to show off their best and most creative cosplays to the masses. Foam, metal, fabric, feathers, stitching, plastic, cardboard, and hot glue all come together to form some of the most detailed and innovative homages to some of comics and pop culture’s biggest names. Below are some examples of the second day of WonderCon 2023 cosplayers and the ingenuity that was on display. The talented artists represented The Mad Hatter, Kite-Man (Hell yeah), Captain America, Thor, Princess Tianna, Mister Rogers, the Dude, Harley Quinn, Symbiote Spider-man, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Bane, just to name a few.
