Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: my wife and I went to C2E2 and took photos! Part one was the twelve winners of the Costume Contest. Presented here are the other remarkable contestants whose efforts likewise deserved recognition for their skills, efforts, and imagination.

The current comics version of Thor, whose identity should be revealed any day now. My guess: Gwen Stacy.

Ronan the Accuser hanging out with Captain America and wishing for revenge on those accursed Guardians.

Takuto Tsunashi from the anime Star Driver, sharing the stage with the Valkyrie and the Khorne Marauder from Warhammer 40K. At far right: he is Groot.

The Dragon Rider was the winner of the Eastern Championships of Cosplay at last October’s New York Comic Con 2014. Part of his prize was an invitation to come compete at the Crown Championships of Cosplay at C2E2 2015. That thing I mentioned in Part 1 about the Championships going global? This is a step in that action plan. P.S.: He didn’t win again.

We encountered Marvin from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy near the show floor hours before, then saw her later in the Contest. You’ll note the costume required her to walk on her knees. Imagine spending a day walking that way everywhere. This is true dedication to playing a part.
