Cards on the table, pretty much every kid of a certain age (usually the ones brought up in the ’90s) who picked up a comic book noticed that the women drawn in them tended to have certain… features that set them apart from the women of the real world. Depending on who was drawing them, they could be contenders for America’s Next Top Model or Stan Lee’s Superhumans. Most of the time, they were just drawn to look like impossible ideals. But what some folks call “impossible,” others take as a challenge; hence, the creation of the cosplay community! With cosplay being bigger than ever and its practitioners getting better and better at emulating their heroes, we thought it would be fun to do a little comparison and see who rocked their given looks better, the character or the women dressing up like them. There are literally thousands of examples of cosplayers for each of these characters, of course, but we went for the best of the best (at least in our humble opinion).

Now that the legal mumbo-jumbo is out of the way, please enjoy our (purely scientific) look at who wore it better!
