It’s time for Gamma Squad’s Friday cosplay feature, spotlighting the best comic book related costuming from the cosplay community. We’re again casting the spotlight onto those cosplayers who we think deserve special recognition for coming up with the best costumes, whatever the budget, and the photographers who capture them for posterity.
This week, following last week’s special theme, we’re again diving into the world of the Super-family, friends and foes, showing the very best of Superman related cosplay. We’d like to thank all those who have submitted their work to our Flickr group, as well as to our friends at The Superhero Costuming Forum and elsewhere for producing some fantastic work for us to spotlight.
We hope you enjoy the selection!

Gender swapped characters are fast becoming popular amongst cosplayers, and we think you’ll agree Schpog looks amazing as Kon-El’s elseworld twin.

Since we’re celebrating the Super-family, an excellent reminder that it isn’t all about Kal-El’s cousins.

The gender swapped JLA have given us a lot of milage here on Gamma Squad and for this theme we could hardly pass over two of their most prominent members.

And proving that some exceptions are made by con staff for four legged friends, as long as the costume is good enough.
