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...

Cosplay Feature: PureLight Cosplay's Starfire!


What first attracted me to Purelight Cosplay was the abundance of Starfire cosplays she's made in her time being in this hobby. Since I mainly ship Nightwing with Starfire, it was only natural that I had to feature one of these gorgeous outfits! Which one though? I don't think I've seen her latest outfit cosplayed yet so that eventually won out in the end. This version of the alien princess is based around her look in the current series going on in the New 52. Mainly consisting of a cute top with sleeves included. Incredibly cute booty shorts make up the bottom area with long leggings for her legs and feet. I love the shade of purple that's seen here, definitely suits Starfire so well. I can't remember if Purelight said the coloring of her skin was real of photoshopped in, either way it really makes her look the part! Throughout the cosplay are spots of silver as well!

These silver areas can be seen on her chest and the ends of her sleeves. The shorts have an interesting design to them with the silver part wrapping around towards the center. Green jewels are placed both there and high up on her chest. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the gorgeous long wig she's wearing too! The length seems to go just about to her torso/stomach.

The photos themselves are pretty great. Some have Purelight against a purple background, others show her outside around a fitting scenery. As big of a Starfire fan I am, seeing this cosplay just makes me so happy. Still have it on my cosplay bucket list to do a photoshoot with a Starfire cosplayer while I'm Nightwing! Purelight's love for the character is apparent here and I hope you guys love the other photos as much as I do! <3
