Yesterday when we stopped at our office at The GrEEK Campus to get some extra work done because we're loyal and hard working employees (we forgot our charger) we were a little freaked out to see the campus crawling with nerds and geeks! EgyCon brought out fans of all shapes and sizes and honestly we felt a little underdressed. Pretty much every fandom we know, and plenty we didn't, was represented in style by Egyptian cosplayers. Here are some of our favourites.

Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero and Scorpion in a rare moment where they're not punching holes in each others' rib cages.

Naruto and a student of the Turtle School from Dragon Ball Z flexing some chi in the midst of EgyCon.

Kylo Ren and First Order trooper TR-8R showing off their arts & crafts projects.

Kakashi from Naruto looks like he sneezed in his facemask and is checking to see if anyone noticed.

VI from League of Legends combats the bane of all computer gamers; old technology.

Rorschach from Alan Moore's Watchmen is kind of giving us the creeps.

Look you guys, it's The Avengers! That's so cool; Black Widow, Spider-man and...wait Robin? What the hell are you doing here? Wrong universe dude!

Arab Wolverine is one of our favourites. Sideburns and everything!

Deadpool being a goofball and saying inappropriate things that would upset your parents.

Batman's nemesis Scarecrow was ready to pounce.

Hitman 47 after a successful mission.

A seriously cool Ezio from Assassin's Creed cosplay complete with spring loaded wrist knives!

Some more Star Wars cosplay including Chewbacca wearing a sweater. Is that Natalie Portman?
