If you go to Comic-Con 2013, well…you're gonna see some things.
Sometimes, it'll be fantastic stuff. Like a giant Sentinel head. Or some pretty epic convention floor displays created by some of coolest companies around.
Other times, it won't be so cool. In fact, sometimes, the things you may see at Comic-Con may scar you for life.
Or, at the very least, they may elicit a laugh. We'll let you decide which goes where.
In that spirit, enjoy these images of 10 things we saw on day 1 of the show that represent some of the darker, least-definable corners of the Comic-Con experience.
Therefore, you've been warned…
Comic-Con 2013: 10 Oddest Cosplay Outfits We Saw on Day 1
-
10. The Worst Snuggie Ever
No, seriously...the zipper got stuck after a night on the couch, so you just rolled into Comic-Con like that, right?

9. Oh No-Bama!
Impersonators don't count at Comic-Con, sir. A genetic quirk doesn't equal a costume. Try again next year.

8. Would You Like Fries With Your Open Wounds?
Sorry, call us crazy, but creepy and sexy don't mix. Either scare me with your freaky insectoid alien no-skin face or serve me chicken wings in a tanktop. Don't even try to do both.

7. How 'Bout a LITTLE Effort?
Comic-Con is the Super Bowl of cosplay. Either go big -- or don't even get in the ring. Crazy antlers and wild leggings don't even register on the "look at me, I'm interesting" meter.
-
6. Non-Sequitar Theater -- Starring the TARDIS!
I'm going to assume that yes, there is SOME type of theme going on here when you mash a mariachi band up with the TARDIS. But if you've got to explain it, it probably can't be that good.

5. Speaking of That Strange Blue Box...
Yep, I decided I'd spend an entire day among 20,000 people at the pop culture center of the universe by shuffle-stepping around inside a plywood box. Good call, dude...
-
4. And Bring Me the Gungan...I Want Him Fricasseed!
Vader don't barbeque...not with those oven mitts...and definitely not in those shorts. Disrespectful, man...disrespectful.
-
3. CMB's of the Empire, Boy-eee!
If Vader don't barbeque, then I definitely don't think he's yanking the upholstry off your aunt's couch for a housecoat. But when you're rolling with G-Fett Money (in his sick 'Vette, no doubt), we'll give this one a pass.

2. Predator Neck Muscles Must Be Really Strong...
Again, conflict here...bonus points for the dangling Iron Man helmets (not to mention the Captain America shield strapped to his back). But the Jim Henson-esque giant head is...ummm...weird. Very weird.
-
1. X-Men...Maybe...
Cross-play...we get it. I'm even OK with Man-Rogue and his "got crapped on by the world's biggest seagull" skunk stripe. But a Man-Frost (sported an disturbingly exaggerated package, to match) is beyond the pale. So help me, you show up tomorrow in a Witchblade outfit and we're confiscating your four-day pass...I mean it...don't push us on this.
