Eagle eyed reddit users notdagreatbrain and kdubs27 spotted a hardly recognisable Stephen Colbert in costume at San Diego Comic Con 2014.
notdagreatbrain commented that “He called himself “hawk cat” and claimed to be a mid-80s comic book character. A production assistant ran up to me after I talked to him and asked me to sign an appearance release.”
@rastawhite1 Tweeted, “@SD_Comic_Con #sdcc moment Prince Hawkcat walking the exhibit floor. The host of The Hobbit panel? Maybe…”
While reddit user Archardy speculated:
My guess is that this is one of four things – a super unknown minor character in some unknown story that no one has ever seen or heard; an original persona he made for cosplay; a prank run by a tv show to make fun of cosplayers; or a celebrity who wanted to go to comicob and walk amongst the masses incognito. My bet would be its a prank by a comedy show.
With kdubs27 adding:
A little more info…my husband spotted the awesome Maleficent cosplay during Comic Con this weekend (in bg of picture) and really wanted a picture with her. He steps up, and is immediately intercepted by another cosplayer calling himself HawkCat and coerces my husband into taking pictures with him. I’ve tried googling ‘HawkCat’ to no avail. Colbert even mentioned this crazy guy last night, but I still can’t figure out what he’s from!
Edited: Stephen Colbert went undercover at Comic Con as Prince Hawkcat for a two-part segment featured on the September 17, 2014 edition of The Colbert Report.
