Went to a comic con last weekend and noticed something weird about the fans there

I hit up MegaCon in Orlando last Saturday, and I swear I saw the same three guys dressed as Deadpool at like five different booths. Not the same guys, you know, just the same character over and over. It got me thinking about how some fans really latch onto one hero and never let go, while others have a whole shelf of obscure B-listers. I even met a lady who only collects comics featuring characters with green outfits (she had a whole spreadsheet for it). Is it just me, or do you guys notice these little tribes forming at conventions? What's the weirdest fan niche you've spotted at a show?

Yeah the green outfit spreadsheet lady sounds more organized than I am, and I can barely keep track of which Deadpool is which.

Hold on though @the_jade, I gotta push back a little. If she's running around with a color coded spreadsheet for superhero costumes she might be overthinking it actually. Like sometimes being too organized just means you're spending more time on the wrong things, you know? I mean Deadpool isn't that hard to keep track of if you just watch the movies in order and ignore all the alternate timeline talk. Maybe the green outfit lady needs to relax a bit and just let the chaos happen.
