Will Ferrell kicked off Comic-Con in costume.

The funnyman stepped onto the convention stage Thursday decked out as his villainous animated character from the upcoming Dreamworks superhero tale "Megamind."

 Ferrell, donning blue facepaint and a bulbous blue helmet, also brought breakfast for the panel's 6,500 attendees — one box of doughnuts and a jug of orange juice.

 "I didn't think there would be so many of you," he joked.
