Jedan od najvećih izazova u dovođenju stripova u živu akciju je pokušaj ispravljanja kostima. Odjeća koja djeluje na stranici neće uvijek raditi na filmu, pa se puno puta likovi smanjuju za ekran. Ponekad to uspije izvrsno, a drugi put ostavlja nešto za željom u smislu kostimografije. Ali ako želite ispravno odraditi kostim, profesionalni cosplayeri to često mogu učiniti bolje od bilo koga drugog u poslu.
Mogli biste pomisliti da bi mutanti iz svijeta X-Men-a imali teška vremena da ih ožive bez CGI-ja ili tima ili šminkera, ali ovi su modeli pokazali kakve sjajne rezultate svakodnevni ljudi mogu postići. Bilo da se radi o odijelu koji dolazi izravno sa stranice ili da boji cijelo tijelo u drugu boju, ovi su modeli posvećeni.
Ako ne vjerujete, pogledajte ovih 20 zapanjujućih X-Men Cosplayera koji izgledaju baš poput svojih likova.
20 MISTIK ANAISA MARIONA

Prilično je teško za cosplayera zapravo nadmašiti izgled lika kojeg igraju, ali ova odjevna kombinacija Anais Marion mogla bi učiniti upravo to. Mistika X-Men filmova bila je sjajna inovacija u karakteru stripa, naglašavajući njezine mutantne karakteristike i dajući joj vagu da pokaže svoje moći poput kameleona. Od tada je postala popularna odjeća za modele koji se ugledaju na konvencijama.
Iako vjerojatno nema pristup odjelu za specijalne efekte, Anais Marion točno snima izgled iz filmova, ali vjerojatno ga zapravo nosi još bolje. Nešto se tiče Marioninog preuzimanja Mystique-a što djeluje nekako prirodnije od kinematografske verzije i stvarno citira koliko je njen lik tuđ.
Cosplayeri koji se prerušavaju u likove koji se u velikoj mjeri oslanjaju na šminku uvijek su velika predanost jer, za razliku od stvarne odjeće, nije kao da se lako opet obući u kostim. Uzimanje vremena za obojenje tijela u plavo samo jedan dan je ozbiljna obveza.

Psylockeova modificirana odjeća u stripu ne samo da ju je učinila popularnijom čitateljima, već i popularnijom u cosplaying zajednici. Od svih likova X-Men-a Psylocke je netko koga ćete vidjeti da se modeli pojavljuju prilično često, ali to ne znači da je izgled lako postići. Osim što nije izgled za skromne, Psylocke zapravo pakira i puno detaljnije nego što biste mogli primijetiti u početku.
Teško je reći za što se sve crne trake oko Psylockeovih nogu i ruku rade jer ne pružaju veliku zaštitu, a ne mogu pružiti ni veliku tjelesnu podršku. Unatoč tome, Amanda Lynne se ne odriče tih detalja i uspijeva izgledati kao da je Psylocke upravo napustila stranicu. Ako Olivia Munn nije bila zainteresirana za ponavljanje uloge za filmove o X-Menima, Amanda dokazuje da ima što je potrebno za izvlačenje izgleda.

Moderni izgled Nighcrawlera uveden u X-Men: Apokalipsa možda i nije baš star, ali lik je ipak cool. Apokalipsa je htjela predstaviti mlađu inačicu Kurta i to je u skladu s njegovom pomalo zlobnom osobnošću. Osim što je Nightcrawler bio prekriven moralo je biti lijepo za šminkerski tim, tako da nisu stalno dodavali sve dizajne na njegovoj koži.
Sorta_draws pokazuje koliko je izgled dostupan čak i za cosplay modele. Zahtijeva određeno opredjeljenje da obojite lice i ruke plavim, ali ako ne želite biti posvećeni, tada ne morate raditi cijelo tijelo poput Mystique cosplayera. Sorta_draws noktići odjeću i kosu, i gotovo izgleda kao točno podudaranje za film. Rep je težak za hvatanje bez CGI pomoći, ali svejedno je sjajan posao.

Znate da je vaš kostim dobar kad izgledate gotovo nerazdvojno od stvarnog glumca koji stoji tik do vas. Doduše, kostim Wolverinea iz filmova nigdje nije toliko složen kao Wolverine iz stripa, ali još uvijek nije lak podvig ući u formu za izgled dijela. Lonstermash čak se obvezuje da je za kosu i ovčetinu mogao lako proći kao štos dvojac za Hugh Jackmana.
Pandže su posebno cool jer su čak i filmovi imali puno problema s tim da izgledaju dobro. CGI kandže koje je Wolverine ponekad davao sramotno su loše, ističu se poput upaljenog palca koliko su lažno izgledali.
Poći s fizičkim kandžama definitivno je bio pametniji potez, a Lonstermash pokazuje zašto. Te kandže su vjerojatno krupne za nošenje i nigdje nisu dovoljno oštre da ikoga povrijede, ali izgledaju bolje od onih koje je ponekad imao sam Hugh Jackman.

Mnogo je obožavatelja i dalje razočarano što brak Oluje i Crnog pantera nije završilo stojeći na testu vremena. Ali Stormov pogled u tom razdoblju bio je svjež odmak od superherojske opreme koju obično vidimo, a ujedno i praktičnija kao svakodnevna odjeća. Manekenka Alicia Marie demonstrira koliko je cool bila na gornjoj slici na kojoj je savršeno otkrila ovaj jedinstveni izgled Oluje.
Slika sa strane sa stripom Oluja pokazuje kako je Marie pregledala i najsitnije detalje kako bi točno shvatila odjeću. Impresivna je posvećenost liku, a šteta je što Fox i MCU ne mogu koegzistirati, jer ovaj cosplay upravo pokazuje koliko bi ta verzija Oluje mogla funkcionirati u stvarnom životu. Tko zna hoćemo li vidjeti kako se Storm i Black Panther ikad ponovno okupljaju, ali nije bilo poricala kako su izgledali dobro zajedno.

Vidjeli smo sjajnu verziju starijeg Magneta od Iana McKellana, a imali smo i stvarno dobru verziju Magneta u njegovim srednjim godinama zahvaljujući Michaelu Fassbenderu. Jedna stvar koju još nismo dobili priliku vidjeti u filmovima jest kako bi mladi Magneto izgledao u klasičnom kostimu. Tako je Curly_detective napravila prilično zanimljiv cosplay, ne samo zbog toga koliko je impresivna točnost njezinog kostima, već zato što nam daje pogled kako bi mlađi Magneto mogao izgledati.
Magneta smo vidjeli u mladosti u Njemačkoj, kako u stripovima, tako i u filmovima, ali u glavnom kontinuitetu on ne postaje potpuno ispunjen Magneto do kasnijeg života. Gledati kako Eric i Charles neko vrijeme ne ispadaju, to ima smisla, ali X-Men priče pokazale su spremnost za eksperimentiranje s različitim vremenskim rokovima.
14 X-23 PO DANU COSPLAY
Nakon Logana, mnogi obožavatelji su bili prilično zadovoljni inačicom X-23 koju smo vidjeli i željni njenog povratka. U stripovima je preuzela ulogu preminulog Logana da postane novi Wolverine, ali Danu Cosplay pokazuje gornji klasični izgled X-23. Nejasno je hoćemo li uopće vidjeti kako se X-23 vraća u filmove s obzirom na to koliko se u budućnosti Logan odvija, ali ako se dogodi, gotovo sigurno će nam trebati odrasla glumica da preuzme ulogu.
Danuov cosplay nudi pogled na to kako klasični X-23 kostim djeluje osobno, a poprilično se spaja s uniformom koju su ostali X-Men nosili. Laurina verzija crnog kombinezona malo je izmijenjena, ali Logan također nije baš bio igrač koji se pridržavao odjeće tima. Jedini način na koji bi Danu mogao pokazati veću predanost odjeći je ako ode tako daleko da ima i kandže nožnih prstiju.

Svi pričaju o tome kako su X-Men Origins: Wolverine zajebali Deadpool, ali film zaista nije učinio nikakvu uslugu brojnim likovima. Gambit bi se definitivno mogao dodati na taj popis budući da je bio jedan od najiščekivanijih likova koji će se pojaviti u filmovima, ali tako se dogodio. Ali vidjeli smo koliko dobro je Deadpool solo film preokrenuo stvari, tako da su nade velike za Gambit solo film.
Možemo razumjeti prikaze u akciji koji žele oduzeti Gambitov ružičasti kostim i traku za glavu, ali ostatak odjeće bilo bi dobro za svakoga. Osim toga, Superluigi prilično dobro odozgo skida odjeću. I definitivno je fer reći da je njegovo prihvaćanje na Gambit nešto puno ugodnije vidjeti od onoga što smo dobili u Originsu.
Nadamo se da će se slike iz filma o Gambitu početi otkrivati vidjet ćemo nešto bliže ovome i nešto što može pomoći ljudima da zaborave na Porijeklo.

Ova verzija Roguea možda se kosi s nekim ozbiljnijim X-Men filmovima koje smo imali, ali to je prilično zgodna prilagodba njenog izgleda iz stripova i crtanih filmova. Ovo je definitivno bolje od kinematografske verzije Rogue-a, koja gotovo nimalo ne sliči na odjeću ili osobnost s ljubiteljima Rogue-a koje svi vole. Možda sada kada su filmovi preoblikovali mnoge starije uloge, konačno možemo dobiti verziju Roguea koju smo cijelo vrijeme željeli.
Spiidermomova verzija Roguea odmah otkriva jakog mutanta s južnjačkim naglaskom s kojim su svi odrasli. Svijetla odjeća i traka za glavu pomalo bi bili 80-ih da bi se radilo na filmu, ali svejedno izgleda cool bacač. Za ljubitelje klasičnog Roguea ne biste mogli tražiti ništa bolje. Jedino što joj nedostaje je južnjački Gambit uz nju.

Već smo vidjeli kako će izgledati live-action verzija Dark Phoenixa zahvaljujući X-Men: The Last Stand, ali to je film koji bi mnogi obožavatelji radije zaboravili da se dogodio. Fox se sprema za još jedan ubod u vršenju poznate priče Dark Phoenix, ali možda ovaj put mogu potražiti neke pokazivače Amande Lynne, koja je lik oživjela u tri različita načina vidljiva gore.
Isti je osnovni izgled na sve tri verzije Jean Grey-a, ali to samo pokazuje koliko kostim izgleda u raznim bojama. Jedino što je sramota u odjeći je da nakon što se pojavi Phoenix, ako se priča pokaže da je to istina stripovima, Jean neće odjenuti odjeću još dugo jer se navijala žrtvujući sebe. Ipak, vidjet ćemo može li Sophie Turner skinuti kostim kao i Amanda Lynne.

Lilandra je lik kojeg još nismo vidjeli da ga je glumica oživjela, ali Mermaid_666 nam pruža prilično dobar pogled na to kako bi lik mogao biti prikazan. Ne može se poreći da je prilično štititi pogled na to kako Lilandra izgleda u stripovima, sve do one kose koja izgleda nimalo jednostavno. Uvijek je cool vidjeti modele koji se bave likovima koji nemaju toliko izlaganja da isprobaju ruku s nečim originalnijim od heroja i zličara koje viđamo cijelo vrijeme.
This cosplay is also pretty timely what with the X-Men movies getting into the Dark Phoenix storyline next. Jessica Chastain is rumored to be playing her in the next movie, but whether her character is included in the cinematic translation of that story is iffy since X-Men: The Last Stand omitted her. But if nothing else, Mermaid_666 shows that not being able to pull off the costume wouldn't work as an excuse for not including Lilandra.

The X-Men outfits of the movies were a nice attempt to update their costumes out of the '80s. Some fans might have missed the bright blue and yellow jumpsuits, but you can't deny the black costumes worked better for a realistic look. It was kind of nice to see the throwback outfits in First Class, but that’s more to do with nostalgia than anything else. Besides, you still had the core elements of each character intact. Wolverine had his claws, Professor X had his chair, and of course Cyclops had his optic visor.
Cyclops has had his costume updated to be more outlandish in recent years, but for a down to Earth approach this version of Scott looks pretty good. And Chrisvillain matches the outfit from the movies in impressive fashion. If you didn't know better, you would even think this was a promotional image from one of the movies because of how accurate it is.

Fans have been pretty divided on the look revealed for Zazee Beetz as Domino in Deadpool 2, but we'll just have to wait until the movie comes out until we can say how well it works. Beetz's costume is a lot more understated than fans might have been expecting, probably to give her a more realistic look. But some cosplay models have shown off how the classic version of Domino would have looked too.
Katy DeCobray gives us a look at the original Domino and it's actually a pretty impressive depiction. We could definitely see this version of Domino working in live-action, though it would doubtless be a lot more time consuming to have to paint a person's body black and white. Still, you can't discount Beetz's take on the character yet.

Iceman has had a few different looks throughout his history, but one of his most common ones sees his entire body become like ice. The sleek and shiny look is fine and definitely fits with his powers, but it also feels a bit too basic sometimes. That version of Iceman almost makes him look like the Silver Surfer, so it's nice to occasionally see the version Chrisvillain shows off here to give the character more distinction.
Iceman keeps his classic X-Men suit, but not getting covered head to toe in ice gives his appearance more room for personality. Seeing his hair get covered in frost is a nice touch, and the ice crystals forming on his skin are also a cool detail. Best of all, since this is all practical effects, you don't lose out on the person beneath the costume by covering him in CGI any time he uses his powers.

Fans of the Scarlet Witch from the MCU movies might be totally unfamiliar with the character's classic look, but she used to look quite a bit different. That's nothing against the MCU's version, who has a stylish modernized outfit. But at some point it's cool to see the classic costume as well, so fans are doubtless hoping for that iteration of the character to show up in Fox's X-Men films eventually.
Shannon P. even makes the large head piece of the outfit work, and shows how well the classic outfit could look. This version of Scarlet Witch really resonates how she is the daughter of Magneto, borrowing his taste for capes and a red color scheme. It's a pretty cool look that wouldn't look out of place at all in the movies, so it's nice to see cosplayers like Shannon P. continuing to give the original Scarlet Witch some appreciation.

The Emma Frost who we see in X-Men: First Class was a bit of a disappointment what with her character not really doing too much, and her outfit not being that great either. The movie still gave us great performances with the introductions of James McAvoy as Professor X, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and Michael Fassbender as Magneto, but Emma Frost wasn't really done justice there.
Amber Skies brings us her cosplay of the X-Men villain and shows how the character could be done right. While First Class used Emma more as a flirtatious character, her ability to turn her body into diamonds could have certainly been used better when you see how well other durable character like Colossus and Juggernaut do.
Amber Skies makes Emma look like someone powerful who should be respected, which goes to show that sometimes the cosplayers can do it better than the movie makers.

Before the Deadpool movie most casual fans didn't even know who Negasonic Teenage Warhead was. Word is that even Fox did not know who she was as the team behind Deadpool had to resort to using obscure mutants rather than big names. She was pretty far down on the list of recognizable mutants, especially with the likes of Wolverine and Nightcrawler occupying everyone's thoughts. But that quickly changed with her appearance in Deadpool, where her sardonic attitude was a nice contrast to Wade Wilson's wacky nature.
As you can from the side by side pictures above, Ihatejjba is a perfect match for the character aside from how tidy her outfit is. She even has the same kind of irritated look as the actual Negasonic Teenage Warhead— maybe because she's getting a text from a Deadpool.
3 CLASSIC MYSTIQUE BY LESTRANGE COSPLAYER
Mystique cosplay - photography@cesarbond #mystiquecosplay #braziliancosplay #cosplay #cosmaker #xmen
A post shared byLestrange Cosplayer ?✂✏? (@lestrangecosplayer) on May 15, 2017 at 2:02pm PDT
Even though the movie version of Mystique is pretty much the one everyone knows nowadays, the original comic book version of Mystique does not look bad at all either. More recent comics have even adopted the cinematic look for Mystique, but it would actually be pretty nice to see the classic look on film at some point. For those who say it would never work, Lestrange Cosplayer shows just how cool it can look in real life.
Admittedly that white dress is so long that it could be a tripping hazard, but supervillain costumes aren't always about practicality— which is good, because that belt of skulls is hard to imagine a purpose for. Regardless, just because Mystique is a mutant doesn't mean she can't be fashionable, and the white outfit definitely pairs well with her blue skin.
Mystique can create any appearance she wants for herself, so you’d think she’d be happy to experiment with her look more often.
2 PROFESSOR X BY BEL STARK
When someone says they have cosplayed as Professor X, you might not think it’s such a complex costume. All you have to do is be a bald guy wearing a suit and sitting in a wheelchair, right? It still takes skill to pull off, but it’s not as difficult as some of the more elaborate outfits out there. But what makes this cosplay particularly impressive is that Bel Stark is a female cosplayer, and yet as seen above, she looks almost exactly like Patrick Stewart’s Professor X.
A guy might be able to just take advantage of his natural baldness, put on some nice clothes, and take a seat to call himself Professor X. But Bel Stark had to work a bit harder to make the outfit work, using makeup and some drastic changes in hairstyle to make the outfit accurate for her. That’s some impressive dedication to a character.

This two-for-one cosplay gives us a look at a really accurate version of Jubilee from X-Men: Apocalypse, and a pretty cool way to go about a Colossus cosplay. Unfortunately for the handful of Jubilee fans out there, she didn't really get to do much in Apocalypse other than make a cameo, so while her updated look was nice, it was disappointing to not even get to watch her fight someone. Still, Kittie Cosplay is a reminder of the potential the character has.
As for Mark Johnson, his version of Colossus is a creative deviation from the way most cosplayers handle the character. Others often go with silver body paint to portray Colossus, but that doesn't quite capture how huge and metallic his character looks. Johnson really does look like someone who could tower over anyone and would just break your hand if you tried to punch him.
