It's not every day that adoring Marvel junkies get to meet legendary comic book creator Stan Lee, but it is pretty much every day that legendary comic book creator Stan Lee finds himself in the midst of endless meet-and-greets and photo-ops with legions of adoring fans.

It goes without saying, then, that if you want to make an impression with the man who co-created Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk and the X-Men, you need to get dressed up. Though Stan may look like he's playing it cool in his tan-on-tans, if you look closely, you can see that he's impressed.

The pics below, of the best superhero cosplayers posing with Stan Lee, are the best superhero costumes spotted in this huge gallery from DragonCon, where fans pose with sci-fi celebs like Stan Lee and the casts of Quantum Leap, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Twilight and Firefly.
