Few villains have come as close to completely wiping out the Marvel Universe as the King in Black, as the terrifying villain made his name known during his recent self-titled event. Now, cosplayer graciethecosplaylass is doing her own cosplay twist on the God of Symbiotes. In a new look, Marvel Comics' King in Black becomes the Queen of the Symbiotes, in an absolutely epic cosplay from the talented model.
Knull, created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, is one of the oldest villains in the Marvel Universe, whose existence ties back to the creation of the universe by the Celestials. The King in Black is responsible for creating All-Black the Necrosword and symbiotes. During the King in Black event, the God of Symbiotes covered the Earth in darkness and sent his powerful army of symbiote dragons to try to take over the planet. Knull nearly succeeded in his takeover but was ultimately killed after Eddie Brock became the God of Light (thanks to the Enigma Force). In his defeat, the former Venom host would become Marvel's new King in Black, promising to be a force of good in the role.
On Twitter, the uber-talented graciethecosplaylass shared her take on a gender-flipped Knull. The cosplay brings a comic-accurate God of Symbiotes to life. In the look, she becomes Knull, Queen of the Symbiotes, as she wields All-Black the Necrosword. The cosplay is spectacular, as it keeps the terrifying elements of Knull, including his disgusting sharp teeth, ancient weapon, and perhaps most creatively, his symbiotes sprouting out of him. From the armor, the terrifying red dragon symbol, to the red eyes, it's a brilliant, creative look. @BenjaminFarren is credited as taking the fantastic photo.
It only seems like a matter of time before Knull makes his way to live-action in Sony's Marvel Universe. Since they've already tackled Riot and Carnage, it would make sense to introduce the God of Symbiotes as the ultimate challenge for Venom. Although, it would be cool to see the King in Black interact with other characters in the universe like he did during his recent event.
Regardless of whether fans will soon see the Knull come to live-action, there's no doubt graciethecosplaylass' absolutely nailed the Queen of the Symbiotes cosplay. It's a bold, creative, terrifying comic-accurate look that imagines the King in Black becoming the Queen in Black. It's hard not to be impressed with the cosplay.
