Out of all the characters that one can flip the gender switch on, we never thought that Hades from the “Hercules” cartoon film would be on that list! Well, this cosplayer gives the male Hades a run for his money. Everything from the asymmetrical dark robe, and white face paint, to the snarky eyebrow raise, she truly turned the Hades look into her own.
However, the absolute best part has got to be this cosplayer’s take on Hades’ flame hair. The spiked-up blue mohawk is the PERFECT addition to this hell-raising look. Who knew mixing a bit of punk with Greek mythology would work so well?
Storm
Many actresses and models have tried to successfully recreate the weather-controlling X-Men character, Storm, and many have unfortunately failed. This character has had many looks in the past and is extremely hard to recreate in real life due to her unique and exotic appearance. But it seems like someone has made it happen.
Whoever this cosplayer is, we can say for a fact that she did an amazing job portraying the character! She chose to stick to the original comic-book rendition of Storm, which in our opinion is the most iconic version you can get. However, we must say that Halle Berry also did an amazing rendition of the character.
Dr. Strange
You may remember Dr. Strange as the time-and-matter manipulating wizard from the popular Marvel comic books and films. Although he was always a bit of an unconventional character, we never thought he would work so well when portrayed by a female! This version of the character was perfected by cosplay artist, @rachelmeiklecosplay.
This definitely wasn’t the model’s first daring cosplay, as she’s been known to take on various other non-conventional characters. We won’t spoil these for you, and urge you to check out her Instagram channel at @rachelmeiklecosplay. Most of her costumes are handmade and she has a relatively small following, so go ahead and give her a thumbs-up! She’ll surely appreciate it.
Batgirl
It is truly amazing just how realistic and accurate this Batgirl cosplay is! It was made recently by the beautiful and talented Lola V, who decided it was time to dawn the bat cape. Although Ruby Rose ended up doing a great job portraying the character on the popular CW show, Lola is definitely doing the costume justice strutting along among us humans.
You can check out more of Lola V’s ventures on Instagram at @lola_v_cosplay. She is originally from New Zealand and currently lives in Australia. Outside of cosplaying, Lola is an avid dancer, geek, gamer, and world traveler. So yeah, she's pretty busy.
Mantis
Who could forget the adorable character of Mantis? You probably remember the hilarious and cute alien from the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films. In case you don't, here's the scoop -- Mantis has the ability to feel other people's emotions and can even change them.
She was recently spotted at an LA street party being cosplayed by @lianne507 (who also uses the Instagram handle @lianne.cosplay). Although she has one of the lowest amount of followers on our list, Lianne is doing some of the most creative and unique portrayals we've ever seen. You should definitely check her workout. We guarantee you’ll be amazed by her creativity.
