I had a really fun time at the London Super Comic Convention hosted at the Excel centre yesterday. With comic book and their film adaptations as popular as ever, it was no surprise the event (which finishes later today) was such a success. I took so many photos that rather than try and squeeze them into my review which I’ll be doing soon, like with my Memorable Figures from the Wax Museum I’ve decided to do a fun quiz to see how many you can work out. How many of the comic, cartoon, anime and film stars did you get? Who would you like to have dressed up if you had gone?
Answers below
1. Deadpool
2. Darth Vader
3. Arrow
4. Bebop (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
5. Pikachu
6. Joy and Sadness (Inside Out)
7. Flash
8. Beaker (The Muppet Show)
Alex Raphael 
2 for me
Vader and Beaker?
Sussed 🙂
Love Beeker!
I was wearing the socks yesterday too. One of my Christmas presents was a set of five pairs of muppet socks with one each of Animal, Fozzy Bear, Kermit, Gonzo and Beaker. When I showed him he was chuffed!
Some excellent costumes here.
Yeah. I think they were all regular members of the public. It was a nice mix. On the way there I saw Bane, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Kick Ass. If I’d dressed up I’d have gone as Gambit
I bet you would have looked cool.
I would have gone as Yoda. My hair seems like his today! Great post and sounds like a great time for you and all!
Ha! Yoda is great. You could practice speaking like him too. what was amazing was that there was no overlap in terms of costumes. Everyone was original 🙂 I did think there would be quite a few Jokers.
Flash looks pretty intense like he had too much coffee. He’s the winner for me.
I was just happy he stopped long enough for a photo 😉
I wish I was there with you, Alex 🙂
It looks like you’ve had a lot of fun
You’d have had a lovely time. Everyone was super nice and happy to pose. Pikachu actually followed me when it saw me taking photos of other characters so it could pose properly for me 🙂
Very nice 🙂 I used to love Pikachu in my childhood
I got them all!!!! I so wish I could have attended
Impressive score J 🙂 Especially remembering Bebop. Yeah, you’d have had a great time. I have you get to go to a cool one near you.
The problem is deciding who to go as
Which ones are you currently thinking of? Any preferences in terms of practicalities?
I would love to go add Speedy since I’m obsessed with Green Arrow. But I’d also love to be Rey from Episode 7. Ugh, and many more. But those are my top two.
Great choices 🙂
Yay 7/8. Can I be The Bride from Kill Bill?
Of course 🙂 And I get to be Gambit.
Obviously 😉
Just be prepare for plenty of cards to be thrown at you over the course of the evening 🙂
I’d go as Han Solo. There’s a Dad Joke Han Solo twitter page, some are brilliant others, not so much.
Beaker is quite funny out of the above photos for me!
What a funny idea for a twitter feed 🙂 I’ve heard so many dad jokes over the years.
Yay! I got one right – and I haven’t yet seen the movie – Darth!
The Force is strong!
You posted some of your pics! 🙂 Nice~
Yeah. People made such an effort I just had to 🙂
7! 🙂 looks like you had a great time! I love that someone dressed up as Beaker haha
Awesome score Michelle. I wasn’t expecting to see Beaker. He was the only Muppet too. No Harrys or Hermoines in case you were wondering haha.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Beaker or any other Muppet cosplay in real life or in photos, so that’s really cool! Aw that’s such a shame!
Beaker would be such a funny science teacher. Maybe Kermit will show up next year and hang out with Harry. Btw, was Arrow the one that stumped you?
Haha I would love going to science if he thought it. No, though I don’t watch Arrow I recognised him 🙂 It was Bebop actually, I didn’t remember him!
Imagine if Animal taught drumming or the Cookie Monster taught cooking haha. If it helps, Bebop is rarely seen without his sidekick Rocksteady.
Haha Cookie Monster would probably only teach how to bake cookies so he could eat them all himself
Probably not even that haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPytoa–430
Ooh I remember this haha! I had completely forgotten about it
SWEET! this is the post I had been waiting to see 🙂
Looks like an awesome convention Alex, I gotta say Pikachu is a total win for me because that was basically my childhood on TV lol! If I were to go… hmmm… can I say pink power ranger??
Yeah that’d be a great shout. There was Darth, Bebop, Stormtroopers and the Joker so plenty of villains for you to be up against 🙂 I’d go as Gambit or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
OOOOOOOoooo now that I wanna see!!!
We need to arrange a WordPress Superhero convention 🙂
I like it !
Deadpool 😀
The film was released here last week so I’m glad someone dressed up as him 🙂
What a fun event! 🙂
It was. I’m going to do a post soon with more detail about what else was there, but just had to do a post on the costumes first 🙂
The costumes come first, that is like the Red Carpet part of the event, Alex. I knew all but one. 🙂
Ha! Very true.
6! Awesome costumes!!
A neat score Natasha. The costumes were awesome yeah. If I go next year I’m totally dressing up.
Pikachu!!!!!!! I love Pikachu, he just turns me into a little kid lol. I went to the EGX Games convention last year and someone in a giant Pikachu costume charmed me!!!
I only recognised Deadpool, Darth and Beebop from TMNT (LEGEND! That was my favourite TV show as a kid!)
I loved it too. Be honest. How much of the theme tune can you remember? https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2015/12/01/lines-of-the-day-teenagemutantninjaturtles/
TMNT? Just the basics! 😦
Pokemon? Every damn word 🙂

This is great! I’ve been to Comic Con Before… I went as Mrs. Incredible! It was so much fun! Your quiz was awesome! 😀 8 for 8! Maybe next time I go, I’ll go as thebrunetteinthepinkscarf! 😉 Sounds like a cool superhero name! Lol I’ve already got my costume in mind! I’m enjoying your posts, Alex! 😀
Awesome stuff. A bravo and a big round of applause your way. A nice choice to go as. I’ll look out for your future post on it 🙂 Do you have a favourite villain?
Thank you, Alex! 😀 Such a wonderful experience! The heroes and villains alike were all around me, but no Mr. Incredible. 😜 lol I would have to say Lex Luthor – I watched a TV series called Smallville, and had a crush on him (Michael Rosenbaum)! 😍 I prefer heroes over villains! 😀 How about yourself?
The Dark Knight and the Joker are both superb. Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger did sublime, though very different, portrayals. My favourite is probably Gambit. Smallville was cool from what I remember. Great opening song and Kristin Kreuk was just gorgeous too.
Nice, Alex! I had a feeling you were going to say something about the Joker. They had great music on that show and she is gorgeous – she’s a brunette with light eyes, who wouldn’t like that?! 😀
The very same
