2. The Pope Deadpool
The amount of Deadpools that roamed the halls of Comic Con was staggering. So many came out and came in character but one did stand out. That Deadpool was Pope Deadpool.
Deadpool became popular years ago as the anti-superhero we all needed. He represented everything that people wanted a superhero to be and he had the twisted sense of humor to make him even better. And also, his mouth is absolutely filthy. Deadpool became the adults comic and fans longed for a film.
So this year, we were gifted with Deadpool and it has made the cosplays of him even higher. But it is the creative take on the beloved character that made this cosplay rank so high on the list. I mean, who even thinks to be Pope Deadpool? It’s absolutely amazing and definitely in the vein of the character.
Halfway through the Saturday event, a conga line of Deadpools emerged. Each put on display their love of the comic anti-hero and brought to live Wade Wilson as best they could. There were even Wade without his Deadpool mask on.
But at the end of the day, the Deadpool in full Pope regalia won for the best Deadpool out there.
