The X-Men universe in the pages of Marvel Comics is full of great mutant heroes and villains, but few are as iconic and renowned as Mystique and Magneto. Magneto and Mystique get comic-accurate looks that bring the characters to life in stunning new cosplays worn at this year's Wonder Con 2022 by @graciethecosplaylass and @Bootlegstark. The flawless cosplays get the details to both villains just right.
Magneto, Marvel's master of magnetism, debuted alongside the X-Men in their debut issue from Marvel Comics by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in The X-Men #1. Originally a villain who ran the Brotherhood of Mutants, Magneto pushed for mutant supremacy in a world that often rejected the species. Over time the magnetic manipulating mutant would become an antihero of sorts, who would fight alongside those he once battled - joining the team in their mutant paradise on Krakoa. Mystique, created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, first appearing in Ms. Marvel #16, is a shapeshifting mutant who could take the appearance (and voice) of anyone she wanted to transform into. Like Magneto, Mystique has fought against and for the X-Men during her more than 50-year comic book history.
On Instagram, photographer @miketuffley shared their snapshot of @graciethecosplaylass and @Bootlegstark at Wonder Con 2022, where the cosplayers sported awesome Magneto and Mystique looks from the X-Men. The Magneto look is superb, as it's a comic-accurate costume with an epic helmet that's made better by using black mesh and white eyes to really emphasize the villain's expression. Meanwhile, Mystique wears her classic white costume, with long gloves, boots, and skull belt.
@graciethecosplaylass shared a close-up look of her Mystique cosplay that she sported at Wonder Con, which shows the incredible details and makeup that went into recreating the villain's look. From her blue skin, golden eyes, red lipstick, and gold skull on her forehead, the cosplayer nails the ensemble as it's undoubtedly Mystique.

Mystique and Magneto don't have the simplest looks to recreate, but with the cosplays seen at this year's Wonder Con 2022, @graciethecosplaylass and @Bootlegstark managed to showcase both X-Men villains' detailed looks with the comic-accurate Marvel Comics recreations. Magneto and Mystique look great and the cosplays show the immense talent the two cosplayers have in bringing them from the page to real life.
