Mix one part of “Iron Man” with a very fiery red-haired lady and you’ll get this genius Pepper Potts cosplay by @larissa.cosplay_. Technically speaking, Potts is the superheroine Rescue when she dons the iconic iron suit. But let’s not digress too much.
While Larissa cosplays as various popular comic book characters (as seen on her Instagram page), we have to say that this costume is our favorite! While Pepper Pots is usually only remembered as Tony Stark A.K.A. Iron Man’s love interest and eventually his wife, she ends up kicking some serious tail in her own right. Suited up in custom Iron Man armor, she matches up to the superhero’s super-speed and strength with ease.
Raven
What do you get when a demon and a human have a baby? Well according to DC Comics, you get Raven, the ultimate hooded empath. Raven also goes by the alias Rachel Ross (we wonder if the popular love saga from "Friends" was inspired by this - probably not, but we can only hope).
Anyway, @venustea.cos truly brought this superhero to life. Just check out the velvet hood, purple hair, and those eyes! Yes yes, we know they are contact lenses, but we can not say that we weren't mesmerized by those purple eyes for a few moments. No filter? This is truly impressive!
Kitana
Princess Kitana was first introduced to gamers in "Mortal Kombat II," the sequel to the brutal arcade fighting game which shattered popularity records. Many players often find themselves playing as her and yelling the iconic "Finish Him!" just before winning a match. We have to say we are big fans of this cosplayer's outfit! Get it?... Big fans...
This ensemble honestly looks like something straight out of the game, as we literally couldn’t find anything that isn’t spot-on about it. If you’re in the mood for dressing as one of "Mortal Kombat’s" lead female fighters, let @kangelicx be your inspiration.
Pennywise
Pennywise terrified readers and viewers in both the original Stephen King novel and the two "It" films released in recent years. The clown attracts children using various manipulations, feeds on their deepest fears, and ends up eating them for his own delight. We hear he's just the loveliest guy.
Somehow, @jennimakiranta manages to simultaneously stun us and scare us with this creepy clown cosplay. We are not yet sure how Stephen King would react to his horror villain turning into a beautiful and alluring model, but we doubt he would disapprove of this stunning cosplay work! We're so glad we're not kids anymore.
Samus
Whoever said that male gamers don’t love strong female characters should take a serious look at Samus Aran from Nintendo’s "Metroid" video game series. This fierce intergalactic bounty hunter was first introduced in the original 1986 game on the NES and remains as one of the video games' most beloved lead characters.
In fact, players can be Samus in the classic "Super Smash Bros." game, but we are veering a little bit away from the point. As seen in this Instagram post, @meganrandom accomplished this spectacular Samus cosplay by paying attention to detail. Her blonde wig, helmet, and full-Samus-inspired bodysuit make for the perfect cosplay costume.
