The examples are from all over so 'usually from webcomics' looks false


This is a SubTrope where characters (usually from {{Webcomics}}) will frequently cosplay for Halloween rather than buying or making generic costumes. The characters commonly appear on a single panel, which usually occurs out of continuity and can happen even if the characters come from a setting without a [[UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve Halloween]] holiday. The characters can all cosplay to a single medium and/or cosplay as characters that inspired/influenced their own design.

* ''Series/AbbottElementary'': In "Candy Zombies" the students and teachers are dressed up for Halloween at Abbott. Several costumes reference Creator/MarvelComics characters.
** Ava is dressed as Ororo Munroe/Storm, complete with white irises.
** Melissa is dressed up like Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. Ashley is dressed obviously trying to ''emulate'' Wanda, but her costume doesn't match at all, to Melissa's annoyance.
** The "villain" is a male student dressed up as the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version of Thanos. The teachers call him "Baby Thanos". Several overt references to the character are made:
*** He wears candy ring pops to emulate the Infinity Stones.
*** He says "I am inedible" ("I am inevitable"), and when a kid asks him, "What did it cost?" He replies, "Everything."
*** When Baby Thanos pulls round yellow thing resembling a Mind Stone off Mr. Johnson's forehead (who Jacob had mistaken for Vision earlier), Melissa (dressed as Wanda) reaches out with an outstretched arm and shouts, "[[BigNo Nooooooo]]!"

** Additionally, the [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween Comic]] features a few of the game's cast at a Halloween Party (presumably at Watchpoint: Gibraltar or another Overwatch base). In it, Reaper, Mercy, Junkrat, and Roadhog wear the costumes featured in their in-game skins (the Headless Horseman, a [[HotWitch witch]], [[Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} Dr. "Junkenstien"]], and Junkenstien's monster, respectively), and [=McCree=] dressed as Film/VanHelsing, Ana as a pirate, and Torbjorn as a viking. Interestingly, Soldier: 76 and Reinhardt's costumes in the comic are different from their in game skins (the former as UsefulNotes/EvelKnievel (which, coincidentally, is identical to his Daredevil: 76 skin), and the latter getting two costumes: a Naval Captain at the party, and the king of the castle in the story he tells).

This is a SubTrope where characters (usually from {{Webcomics}}) will frequently cosplay for Halloween rather than buying or making generic costumes. The characters commonly appear on a single panel, which usually occurs out of continuity and can happen even if the characters come from a setting without a [[AllHallowsEve Halloween]] holiday. The characters can all cosplay to a single medium and/or cosplay as characters that inspired/influenced their own design.

* In 2016, Dalton Castle did double duty of promoting shop Wrestling/{{R|ingOfHonor}}OH and saying happy Halloween by dressing in Briscoe Brother merchandise and doing his best impression of Dem Boys. In response to this, Mark Briscoe grabbed a peacock mask normally worn by ''The'' Boys who usually follow Castle around.[[/folder]]

** Additionally, the [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween Comic]] features a few of the game's cast at a Halloween Party (presumably at Watchpoint: Gibraltar or another Overwatch base). In it, Reaper, Mercy, Junkrat, and Roadhog wear the costumes featured in their in-game skins (the Headless Horseman, a [[HotWitch witch]], [[Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} Dr. "Junkenstien"]], and Junkenstien's monster, respectively), and McCree dressed as VanHelsing, Ana as a pirate, and Torbjorn as a viking. Interestingly, Soldier: 76 and Reinhardt's costumes in the comic are different from their in game skins (the former as EvelKnievel (which, coincidentally, is identical to his Daredevil: 76 skin), and the latter getting two costumes: a Naval Captain at the party, and the king of the castle in the story he tells).
