This past weekend, pop culture fans from all over descended upon San Diego, CA for Comic-Con, the largest convention in the world dedicated to comic books, genre entertainment, and general geekery.
But don’t get it twisted: Just because many Comic-Con goers self-identify as nerds, that doesn’t mean they can’t be smokin’ hot nerds.
One of the annual conventions great traditions is cosplay, a portmanteau of “costume play”—which is to say, it’s about dressing up as one’s favorite characters from movies, video games, comics, etc… It’s basically drag!
And, lucky us, there are a whole host of superheroes (and other eccentric pop personas) with bulging muscles and revealing wardrobes, meaning the cosplay at Comic-Con can get pretty revealing.
With that in mind, we’ve assembled a collection of photos showcasing the best of the festivities, from skin-tight Spandex to big-time Ken-ergy to a surprisingly hot interpretation of the robot WALL-E (yes, really!).
Click through to see Comic-Con’s most snatched cosplayers that definitely had us sweating underneath our capes.

You know you’re getting old when you don’t know who 90% of these cosplayers are supposed to be. Great costumes, though

“This year’s Comic-Con was all about Kens and cute guys in Spandex…
…but let’s only show them ONE Ken”

There are two Kens in the middle picture of slide 1. The one in pink repeats in slide 2. The fellow in green is also Ken.
