Cosplay proposal: Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman get engaged at Motor City Comic Con

[demmiblue]

When Captain Marvel posed for the camera facing off against Wonder Woman, it appeared to be the usual Marvel vs. DC rivalry at Saturday’s Motor City Comic Con.

But in this case, the photo session was set up by Captain Marvel, aka Ashley Vansickle, as a surprise way to ask Wonder Woman, aka Deanna Mascia, to marry her.

The couple from Columbus, Ohio, had been dating for about a year when Vansickle got the idea to pop the question at Motor City Comic Con, which runs through Sunday at Novi's Suburban Collection Showplace. Like many people attending the convention, Vansickle, 26, and Mascia, 25, were dressed in superhero garb.

...

The two, who said Motor City Comic Con is their first comic book convention, are happy the proposal took place at a comic book event where inclusiveness and acceptance are hallmarks. They planned to celebrate on Saturday by getting a celebrity photo with “Superman Returns” star Brandon Routh.

“I knew that I wanted to do it here just because of all the support,” said Vansickle.

In fact, she added, they were greeted by cheers from people outside the photo area “when I said Captain Marvel just proposed to Wonder Woman.”
