    Comic-Con 2020 Cosplay Classics: The Best Marvel Cosplay From Last Year

    By Chastity Vicencio and Jordan Ramée on July 22, 2020 at 4:10PM PDT

    Avengers assembled in some of the best cosplay we've seen at Comic-Con, period.

    Avengers assembled in some of the best cosplay we've seen at Comic-Con, period.

    Comic-Con is different this year. Besides the panels being released digitally for anyone to watch, there's a notable lack of big superhero brands like DC and Marvel (besides New Mutants, which, granted, we are very excited about).

    There are some silver linings, but one thing we'll definitely be missing is the cosplay. Without anyone gathering in San Diego for Comic-Con 2020 thanks to COVID-19, we won't get to snap lots of shots of cosplayers in person. We're sure there will be plenty to see on social media, but it just won't be the same.

    Instead, we're taking a look back at some of our favorite cosplay from Comic-Con years past. In that spirit, here's the best Marvel cosplay we encountered last year at San Diego Comic-Con 2019.

    Stay tuned to GameSpot this week for all the 2020 Comic-Con at Home coverage you can handle, including guides on exactly how to watch the most exciting panels, this year's exclusive Comic-Con Funko Pops, coverage of the biggest movies--like Bill and Ted Face the Music--and more.

    After being bitten by a radioactive spider and gaining its powers, Peter Parker became the web-swinging hero Spider-Man. Likewise, on another Earth in a different dimension, Gwen Stacey was bitten by a radioactive spider and took on the name Spider-Ghost. The two would finally meet in the Spider-Verse comic, promising to watch each other's back. This story was loosely adapted in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie, with Spider-Ghost renamed to Spider-Woman.

Gamora would eventually betray her adoptive father and join the Guardians of the Galaxy.

    Star-Lord

    Peter Quill is a brilliant strategist and charismatic leader, excelling in his role as head of the Guardians of the Galaxy and king of Spartax.

The MCU heavily retconned this character, making the Scarlet Witch into a telekinetic and telepathic superhuman who gained her abilities through exposure to the Mind Stone.

Bitten by a different spider than Peter, Miles has a different assortment of spider-based powers, including camouflage and venom stingers in his finger tips.

In the MCU, Nadia is given a completely different backstory and renamed Hope.
