Cosplayer ‘HendoArt’ revealed her take on the X-Men’s Psylocke, the group’s telekinetic swordswoman with an ability to control and manipulate emotions, among other such powers as shadow teleportation, and more.
Hendo’s Psylocke is nothing short of spot-on, complete with the hero’s purple latex bodysuit, arm and leg wraps, and her signature pink sash, as well as a wig that looks so believable, it almost seems like she dyed her hair for the role.

Of course, Hendo isn’t one to limit herself to Western heroes, either – the cosplayer even created a rendition of My Hero Academia’s Mt. Lady, a project that she described as “tedious to sew.”

While Hendo’s Psylocke cosplay has garnered a lot of attention ahead of ‘Dark Phoenix’s’ release, the movie itself has been met with mixed reviews thus far, receiving a low score of 21% on Rotten Tomatoes.
While fans aren’t sure if Psylocke will make an appearance in the film (as a few of her powers were activated by the movie’s titular antagonist, Jean Grey), fans are hopeful that the femme fatale will show up – although ‘X-Men Apocalypse’ actress Olivia Munn stated that she won’t be in the upcoming blockbuster.
