Marvel’s X-Men franchise has produced a number of interesting characters over the years. Many of these characters, both superheroes and supervillains, have become the basis for numerous cosplays. Now one such fan has crafted their very own cosplay based on Mystique.
As you can see below, it’s a rather mind-blowing take on the character. This fan, Juliana Lopes and also known as @juligeek on Instagram, seems to have perfected the brilliant blue skin and stunning black splotches that make Mystique such a memorable character.
Additionally, the cosplayer added a pair of hypnotic contact lenses and stunning red hair to completely capture the look of Mystique. It’s an impressive attention to detail, and furthermore, one that shows that fans can often get the looks of these characters just as well as live-action adaptations.
Mystique is a character that’s been part of the Marvel comic book franchise since the 1970’s. She’s been a mainstay supervillain and antiheroine for Marvel throughout this time, and furthermore, she’s become a popular choice for the live-action films as well. She was portrayed by Rebecca Romijin in X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence popularly portrayed a younger version of the character in X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Romijin also shared a brief appearance as the character for a cameo in First Class. As such, both cast members are tightly tied to the character, though this cosplay assures that they’re not the only ones who can pull off the look.
Here’s the look at the Mystique cosplay:
