Cosplay proposal: Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman get engaged at Motor City Comic Con
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.
“Our whole relationship and our lives are based around comic books and superheroes,” said Vansickle not long after the proposal, which was captured on videotape and followed by a photo shoot.
“She’s actually the first girl, the first anybody I told about my interest in comics,” said Mascia, who described herself as a big Superman fan who bonded with her father over comic books and Clark Kent sagas like the CW’s “Smallville.”
