Comic-Con took place over the weekend, and we're celebrating all the geeky fun.

While Tom Hiddleston dressed up as his Avengers character Loki in 2013, Mark Ruffalo cleverly disguised himself with a mask at New York Comic-Con last year. Keep scrolling to see all the celebrities who not only showed up but dressed up!

Seeing as how he previously played geek god Doctor Who, Matt Smith is something of an icon at Comic-Con. So, how can he get onto the convention floor without instantly being mobbed by fans?

Watch above.
