Nowadays, there is nothing like the superhero cosplay - from amateurs to professionals, everybody dresses like their favorite comic book character. And while most people mock this form of art, we actually believe that there is a hidden statement made by cosplayers, each and every time they don their suits.

We'll let you discover for yourself what cosplay actually means. For the moment, check out below the best amateur (as well as professional) costumes from around the world.

Cosplay - not your grandparents' DC costumes

There is a reason why Anthony Misiano is called the King of Joker cosplay. Check him out below!

And if we found the perfect, more traditional Joker, here is the Harley Quinn cosplay straight of the first animated series in which she appeared. She is Ryuu Lavitz, and she has also been Black Widow, Black Cat, Catwoman, and many others.

Marvel - cosplay like you’ve never seen before

While it may seem more interesting to dress like your favorite villain, Anthony Le (known as Master Le) created the most kick-ass function Iron Man costume. No, it doesn't fly - but check out the small clip below and see it in all its awesomeness.

And if we gave you a superhero from Marvel, why not a superheroine too? You can actually see Margie Cox flying as Ms. Marvel!

Don't know who that is?

If you don't know who that is, rest assured - she is Duela Dent, as portrayed by Dayna Scodras. This might just be the best cosplay ever, simply because nobody seems to know who she is (yes, she is an actual comic book character - we don't need to tell you who she is, since her name is pretty self-explanatory).

Lastly, we do not know who that is, but she certainly makes us wonder why did Fox came up with that version of Rogue, lacking all the cool superpowers and having only the lame life-force draining one"¦
