india’s greatest pop-culture event!
Hi, I’m Yusuf Mani (@jad.8913) - Instagram), Delhi-based cosplayer and 2024 Indian Championship of Cosplay Qualifier Winner at Delhi Comic Con.
I cosplayed as Batman (The Dark Knight) with a fully functional Batpod—an eBike that runs, honks, vrooms (custom silencer), has headlights, and starts with a key.
I made history by winning three titles in a single edition, setting new standards.
My cosplay broke the trend of having advantage by big sized armors stuffed with LEDs or effects.
My cosplay was completely self-managed—no volunteers, no support, just swift execution on foot or by riding the Batpod.
Though I won under FX, my Batpod qualifies for all three ICC categories: FX, foam armor, and fabric/needlework.
Unlike others who flex their software based 3D creations, I crafted my bike's blueprint using only pen, paper, and geometry skills.
Praised by Comic Con's officials and judges, I proudly embody my e-persona “Jade Nebula”—a visionary beyond boundaries.
