After spending my weekend roaming the halls of the Jacob Javits Convention Center for the 3rd annual New York Comic-Con, the idea of people wearing their geekdom on their sleeves--or, rather, capes--no longer seems all that odd. So perhaps I'm not the ideal person to point out why the concept of a superhero named WiiMan is somehow out of the ordinary.
WiiMan doesn't actually fight crime or fly. In fact, he doesn't actually seem to have any special powers, save for the slightly interesting ability to control Nintendo's ultra-popular console by flailing his limbs around a lot--surely an odd enough sight to make anyone rethink committing a crime while you're around.
The costume was created by a member of the Israel-based tech collective GarageGeeks. Evildoers beware: Don't make WiiMan open up a can of Super Smashbrothers Brawl on you.
