Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Black Cat is arguably one of the most common cosplays I see created amongst all the cosplayers I follow. In fact several ladies who have been featured on these days have done Black Cat at some point in their cosplay run. One of my favorites has to be Riki's version. Riki (who also goes by her FB page name Riddle) is another Atlanta based cosplayer who was also a part of the show Heroes Of Cosplay. She strives to be a professional prop maker which is definitely seen in some of her past outfits such as her HellGirl seen in the show.

What I love about her Black Cat not only stems from the fact that it's amazingly crafted but the photos taken of her in it definitely captures the essence of the character. These include her casually unzipping the corset as if she's going to relax, making seductive faces and just being plain sexy (yea I said it). All these things are definitely what comes to mind when I think Black Cat cause I imagine that's how she's supposed to act in the comics. Don't believe me? Take a look at the pictures I got for you to look at! Riki nails it so perfectly and I'm very much looking forward to more of her outfits, oh and I get to meet her at an upcoming convention this year so I'm very excited :D
