Pretty sure what adds another level to this is that it's Jenna Fischer's kid.

Edit: google tells me I'm wrong. She did share the pic on twitter, tho.

From the various fanart I've been subjected to, it's Reinhart and Ana as grandparents with Mercy/Pharah as mom(s) and all the younger characters as kids. Or just D.va as a kid in Doritos Gremlin mode.

Just a sidenote; while most of those are just the usual dumb fandom, snack-chugging D.Va really is the logical endpoint for the "streaming gamer" persona. Even Blizzard have gone towards that direction a bit with her new emote :allears:.

If you look at her RIP victory pose in the Hero viewer and spin it around, there's a couple of suspiciously orange corn chips on the back, which you would never see on the victory screen.

They've also fully leaned into the Dad 76 thing, with (for example) his golfing victory pose, as well as his Halloween spray where he's the only adult character, and the only one not in costume, but instead handing out candy.

It's Licenseless Rider from One Punch Man. He's a normal person with no superpowers whatsoever.

Unfortunately that sort of decision isn't up to the localization team (official manga translators, dub staff) because character names is one of the things the original rights holder usually gets full control over these days. Judging from the rest of the character names in OPM compared to the original text I'm guessing the rule they were given was "translations only or leave the names alone".

Is that what his name means? No idea what a 'Mumen Rider' was, figured it was a just close sounding to Kamen Rider.

Yeah, that's the literal translation. Personally, I prefer "Common Rider" but "Mumen" is the official translation.

It's a superhero Called Mumen-Rider (who's name translates to Licenseless-Rider, and who's power is that he owns a bicycle) from a show called One-Punch Man, an anime where basically Charlie Brown gets Goku powers and fights the ridiculous monsters from Evangelion with the ridiculous superheroes from The Tick. If you like Venture Brothers, then give it a shot.

Male Cosplay: A funny pun made into 3D form, a chance to show muscles, but usually a love-letter to a franchise or character they love that they want to be.
Female Cosplay: Solely an excuse to show the female form
Animal Cosplay: cute.
