Comic Con 2
Our mission? To find the very best and worst characters in the Big Apple!
Kelsey Spreer / T Rocket Grunt Style.
Wait what? We have no idea.
"Its from the manga series and also from the Gameboy series… They don't necessarily go into the Anime part, like, Jesse and James are the most common team rocket members [ at this point she starts talking an arcane garbled blabber we do not comprehend].
How did such a hot chick like you end up in a godforsaken place like this?
"I've been playing video games since 2 years old - Super Mario Bros - What Up?! Because of my father - twisted metal - all that kind of games I've been playing since I was little. "
And the best thing that happened to you today?
"I saw someone from Kingdom Hearts - the dark version - we saw Solice (talks incomprehensible nonsense of video/manga/cartoon gibberish)"
Result: Such a shame. Hot, but lost in a manga computer game. But - still hot!CLAIRE
"I wanted to go dressed up but my boyfriend wouldn't let me. . . "
SUDDENLY APPEARING BOYFRIEND; "I'm overprotective. And get really jealous of people looking at her..."
Gulp. Okay. Jealous type, gotta watch out for that. Cough. Errrm... If you could dress her up, what would she do?
DEATHBALLING BOYFRIEND: "Probably Black Cat or Emma Frost."
Pity. Ok, gotta run, Bye!...
Result: Hot Chick with over possessive boyfriend. A dangerous mix for any lecherous Australian journalist. Erm, Epic win for Chick, Epic Fail for Boyfriend! And reporter! Ha! 5/10.Liz Gordon / Yoda Pervert
"Do you know you have Yoda humping your back?"
"I love him, he makes me feel great! I'm rocking' Yoda on my back! Yeah!"
Would the ladies like it if a guy had one?
"Depends if she's into it. I'd probably laugh and then say 'Good for him'"!
Would it work chemistry magic on you?
"Depends what the guy's like!"
Result: Mmmm! Furry Green thing will you show her! An exceptional opener, but then you must back it up with something to keep the conversation going... 7.5/10Jessica, Evelyn, Jeanie.
What are you?
"We're just Cosplaying for fun!"
Nice. You're japanese characters?
"Her name is Misa. Erm…"
Your friends just dressed you up, you have no idea who Misa is do you?
[Laughs]
What should a guy dress up as to turn you on?
"Um, I don't really care. Not dressed!" [giggles like japanese schoolgirl]
Result: Aha! The truth comes out! Girls don't want us dressing up as cartoon characters! We learn a great deal at ComicCon 2010!CHRISTINA
Who are you supposed to be?
"I am a SPRINT ING representative."
Whoa - tre manga. And what does your superhero powers entail?
"You can come into the Sprint booth if you are a Sprint customer and enjoy some VIP service, relax, drink, charge your phone."
Sounds delightfully like a Japanese Superhero Spa Bath. Whats the worst thing you've seen today?
"Some people who should not be naked."
Ooh, we want to see that! Show us where they are!Renata Gatti / WONDERWOMAN
"I love Wonderwoman, and this the second costume I've entirely made. There was a guy, he was a staff member, he wanted a picture of me because he's meeting with (original actress) Linda Carter. . . "
A likely story. What will you be dressing up as next year?
"….."
[NB, we weren't paying attention, but rather admiring her, erm, outfit!]Derina / Zetana the Evil Wizard
How was your day?
"So good… sooo good! Its been insane, every two seconds we get people talking to me. I'll be coming next year for sure."
What should guys wear to attract you?
"I like the Superman guy I saw today."
Superman is still hot? Even with underwear on the outside?
"As long as he has the buff shoulderpads and all that stuff its awesome".
Result: Great advice; just fake those abs and biceps - the girls just want a foam fantasy… but turn the lights off when you two are alone, tubby geek! Still, we like her circus freakshow style, 8/10!Joesaris / Blah Blah from Hellraiser.
Ladies?
"Now that you bring that up, I dressed each day differently. Yesterday I dressed up as Alice from Superjoe. He's a dude but he had a transformation so he's a correction officer thats now a girl. He's a drag character. Most girls were taking pictures of me. Before that I came dressed as a priest with circuits and synthetic parts. Believe it or not dressed as Alice I got the most interest from girls!
Result: Ironic but true. Being sneaky in drag you attract the girls with a more feminine character, which you can then get your dirty male hands onto their fluffy perfumed femininity! Counter intuitive but works like a charm! 8.5/10!Andrea Feczko / PRINCESS LEIA
"This is my second time… but the first time i've dressed up, so its a whole new playing field."
Were you just taking a cheap shot at our inner geek by being the number one fantasy role of Princess Leia?
"I actually wanted to be Princess Peach, but I decided to go big or go home. Kids dressed up as Princesses have come up to me, which I found interesting, because I'm a half naked princess… they have something to aspire to. Some people have tried to cop a feel!"
Would you ever wear this costume in the bedroom?
"Oh absolutely. I've worn better!"
Result: Tried and Tested, the Princess Leia get up is always Guaranteed success for uber geek man internal pant explosions.VANESSA/ SMOKER ZOMBIE from LEFT FOR DEAD
How hard is it to see in that, erm, thing?
"Its hard. My perception's off."
"People look at me like, 'What'? Oh no! And they run away".
Would that work with the guys?
"It could. Matters what kind of boys. If I find a hunter, it'd be like, 'Heyyyy'..."
Result: If you like your women filthy and green, there are hordes of Comic Zombies hanging at the ComicCon.Sui / Joe
"I'm just a Lolita"
You sir are a lucky guy.
Joe: I know, absolutely, i have no complaints.
What else has she dressed up as?
Joe: Oh I can't say that.
A great answer in itself. Sui, what should a guy dress up as?
Sui: "Iceman" .
You are going to have a great night Joe.
Result: A girlfriend that dresses up as a character that you enjoy? Priceless. 9.999/10"Deadlaus"
"The costume is working fantastic with the ladies, a real crowd pleaser."
[Scared] We bet. How long will it take to wipe that off?
"This will probably be my look for the next month."
Result: Will definitely attract those chicas with a death wish, goths, punks, et al. Is that really what you want? Okay then… 8/10 for evil girls...STAR WARS STORMTROOPER / NEAL JONES
What is your serial number?
[To be heard as a Standard Mexican Accent for a stormtrooper] "TD-6982."
Wow, you are a geek. Hows the costume working with the ladies?
"Oh si si, oh yah its amazing, they love it. Old ladies - from the first 3 movies generation - they love it.
Any requests to see your blaster?
"Blaster?"
"Oops, sorry, Your, ahem, 'Stormtrooper Rifle'"
"Ohh yeah, they love it, they love it. Mine is the biggest in the town of Mos Eisley."
Oh Dear. Taken any twilek prisoners?
"Not yet, I don't have that luck man."
Result: While women may love a woman in uniform, Mexican Stormtroopers cannot procreate.BASSIL / Hairy Monster Guy
Is that your wig or your hair?
"Its my own hair."
What are you?
"I'm part of a band called Powerglove."
Oh. So that costume is your own creation?
"Yeah, we're crazy bastards."
Hows it working with the ladies?
"Not as well as I'd hoped. Actually, here better than anywhere else."
And its still bad ? hmm.
Result: Its about feedback/response. If your band uniform isn't cutting it, you need to go further. Try wearing more makeup buddy. Hell, it works for KISS.WARIO / RICHARD Benitez
Why Wario?
"Well people told me all last year I look like Wario. I didn't do it from Haloween, so I'd do it for queens."
Any girls ask to see your plumbing?
[Unconvincingly] "A few."
Did you want to see their piping?
[Unconvincingly] "I already did."
What has the best thing you've done today?
"I went up on stage and did the Michael Jackson experience" (New Video Game to be released by Nintendo end of the year).
How does it feel to be Michael Jackson ? Did you want to do anything like hold a baby out a window or other, erm, childlike activity?
"It was really awesome. I wanted to get a fake nose, I wanted to go black and white.
You're bad.
Result: A shock and surprise, but neither Michael Jackson or Wario will work too woo the women. Yellow is also fattening. 3/10BIG BONES / TANK
Right. So, erm, you're a TANK.
[Deep Voice] "Yes."
Whats it like being a tank?
"I feel unbreakable."
Does it work with the ladies?
[Serious] "With another box that I have yes. Not so much with this one. . . "
Right. No girls wanting to climb in?
"No, just tagging it."
Result: TankMan may have a mighty big canon, but the girls don't want to ride it. 4/10Two Luigis
"Everyone expects Mario and Luigi - nobody expects two Luigis."
Who's the real Luigi?
"Both of us - we live in different dimensions. We've had some funny looks from people. Couple of girls grabbed our asses..."
Did they want to check out your plumbing?
"There were some old ladies…"
Result: Has serious potential with its plumbing metaphors and phallic plunger accessories. 6/10Mike / Trekkie
"Ive been a Trekkie most of my life - but I'm wearing this to promote our Star Trek fan film - startreksutherland.com."
How does it work with the ladies?
"Well it works much more when you're a lady in uniform…."
If you could have any superpower what would it be?
"For comicCon, being able to stand for long period of time without getting tired."
Pah! Of all powers. Ok then, who's better? Kirk or Picard?
I'd have to say Captain Kirk crossed the line a lot, mixing it up with two many ladies on the ship, and I think Picard kept a more professional distance with people."
Spoken like a true nerd.
"Yeah but I secretly would like to be Kirk."
Aha!
Result: While women can wear anything for attraction, the Male Trekkie outfit does not set women to stun. 3/10
