Wanda Maximoff is among Marvel's most complex heroes and in a new cosplay with some great photo editing, one of Scarlet Witch's most iconic covers capturing her at her most challenging times is recreated. In a cosplay from @odfel featuring Scarlet Witch's classic costume with photo work from @patloika, Marvel Comics' most powerful magic 's cover from the House of M event comes to life, as the Joe Quesada image gets an epic real-life recreation.
Scarlet Witch took control of the Marvel Universe during the dramatic events of House of M by Brian Michael Bendis, Olivier Coipel, Tim Townsend, and Frank D'Armata. The storyline occurs as Scarlet Witch suffers a mental breakdown and creates an entirely new reality after the death of her husband Vision - as she wants to bring their lost children back to life. Scarlet Witch losing control of herself and her powers would have a massive impact on the Marvel Universe. When reality was restored, she famously depowered mutants across the globe with perhaps her famous line, "no more mutants." The House of M storyline was loosely adapted in the recent WandaVision series on Disney+, where Scarlet Witch changed reality in a small town where she brought Vision back from the dead to deal with her grief.
On his House of M #1 from Marvel Comics is recreated as Wanda becomes undone into pieces and loses control of herself and her powers. @odfel's Scarlet Witch costume is comic-accurate, as she wears the hero's iconic headpiece as she looks into the light and starts to crumble into pieces. Check out the post below, which shows the image next to the original cover.
In the post, @patloika reveals the photo edit took "a bit of time to finish," which is understandable given the complexity of the edit. Recreating the House of M cover by Marvel Comics from the cosplay photo must have been a serious undertaking. However, he successfully brings the magical Scarlet Witch cover to life with impressive detail.
Seeing iconic Marvel Comics get real-life recreations is always fun and in this case, an impressive amount of work went behind making Scarlet Witch appear as she does on the cover of House of M #1. The cosplay captured Scarlet Witch's look beautifully, while the photo editing made it even better.
