The Most Amazing Cosplay of San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Day 2

If day one of San Diego Comic-Con 2026 belonged to cosplay pairs, on day two, it was time for solo cosplayers to shine. We saw a variety of superheroes, including Supergirl (with Krypto, obviously), Superman, Daredevil, Blue Beetle, and Thor. We also saw some wonderfully deep-cut costumes, like Zed from Zardoz. And, of course, we need to give a special shout-out to the Faun from Pan’s Labyrinth for their truly impressive prosthetics. Check out the best cosplay we saw on day two of SDCC 2026 below. ‘Super Mario Bros. © Germain Lussier/io9 Mega Man © Germain Lussier/io9 A Korok and Purah from ‘The Legend on Zelda’ © Germain Lussier Blue Beetle © Germain Lussier/io9 The Faun from ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ © Germain Lussier/io9 Catwoman and Harley Quinn © Germain Lussier/io9 Sauron from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Thor and Cyclops © Germain Lussier/io9 Lady Deathstrike from ‘X-Men’ © Germain Lussier/io9 Doctor(s) Doom © Germain Lussier/io9 Doctor(s) Doom © Germain Lussier/io9 ‘Alien’ © Germain Lussier/io9 ‘Minecraft’ © Germain Lussier/io9 Aunty Entity from ‘Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome’ © Cheryl Eddy/io9 ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Daredevil © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Zed from ‘Zardoz’ © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456, from ‘Squid Game’ © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Supergirl and Krypto © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Jafar from ‘Aladdin’ © Cheryl Eddy/io9 Want more io9 news?
