One of Avengers: Infinity War‘s biggest laughs came when Star-Lord called the Mad Titan Thanos “Grimace” to his face—a pretty terrific reference to Ronald McDonald’s purple sidekick. (Incidentally, few people seem to remember that McDonald’s first introduced the character as “Evil Grimace” before he adopted his more gentle persona.) Now, thanks to the powers of cosplay, Thanos and Grimace have finally become one being: Grimos!
Via ComicBook.com, cosplayers Banana Steve and Kittie Cosplay debuted Grimos during Monterey Comic Con over the weekend. Kittie Cosplay has subsequently shared a few pics of their creation online, and it’s one of our favorite mash-ups in recent memory.
*SNAP* You’re dust! 😈 Can’t believe #BananaSteve & I were able to pull off making a full Grimace-Thanos aka #Grimos cosplay!

Note that Grimos’ Infinity Gauntlet appears to be an oven mitt with multi-color chicken McNuggets standing in for the Infinity Stones.
#BananaSteve & I are both such huge fans of #Mythbusters, and it was so great meeting & chatting with @ToryBelleci at #MontereyComicCon! Thank you Tory for all the years of making nerds cool. 😎#ToryBelleci #ComicCon #McVengers #JolliWasp #Jollibee #Grimos #Grimace #Thanos pic.twitter.com/A8ePbb9WnM

The “McVengers” also posed for a group photo at the convention. And while we don’t know the chosen names of every mash-up depicted below, we think that Wendy Widow and Colonel America are our top choices!
