There should be no limits on cosplay. Black women, plus-size women, and Muslim women should all be welcome to dress up as their favorite characters, but that's often not the case. Even fantasy has barriers, especially when women dare to dress up as characters who are typically male.
Gender-bent cosplay redraws what's possible in geekdom — and these 15 women are breaking all the rules. You've never seen a Hellboy, Mario, or Beetlejuice look this damn good.
Hell hath no fury...
Batman doesn't stand a chance against these three badass villains.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... *hides*
Ask a question Batman, any question!
Mario, oh Mario, destroy those turtle shells and stereotypes.
A deal with the devil has never looked this good.
Do whatever a spider can, girl!
Whew, America really needs this dope captain right about now.
The Mad Hatter would approve.
Where's the rum and the turtle?
That's one twisted-ass joker.
Wingardium Leviosa!
SLAY GIRL, SLAY!
Who can protect Gotham better than her?
Do you have goosebumps too?
