Women of the X-Men Marvel Costumes for Halloween and Conventions

Black Storm Costume with Cape
Sexy Storm Veil Costume
We've had a lot of superhero costumes on this blog since it began in 2013, but somehow I have never gotten around to doing a post about the women of the Uncanny X-Men. Well, now it is time to fix that!

Let's start off with one of everyone's favourites, the turbulent and powerful Storm. Above is a replica of her costume from the X-Men movies, a badass looking black jumpsuit with a flowing cape to match. If you like this costume, you can get the wig you see in the picture here, or if you want a more pure white one with black undertones to get the comic look, check out this wig here.

Mystique XMen Jumpsuit Costume
If you are looking for something a little different with a lot of sex appeal, then you might like the revealing catsuit costume on the left. Each set of this cute costume comes with the catsuit, cape, and headpiece. This black and grey ombre wig would look lovely with it too.

Another fan-favourite and frequent X-Men villain is the shape-shifting Mystique. Technically, given she can imitate any human, you're ordinary look would do as a Mystique costume, but I suppose you'd be more recognisable in her 'true form'. A cool blue jumpsuit based on her true look can be found on the left. The matching wig for the costume is available here. Don't forget to pick up some blue face and body paint! If you want to go out with the makeup, be sure to check out the cool Mystique makeup video tutorial below to learn how. It's very easy to follow and is a great way to really stand out from the crowd.


Dark Phoenix Costume
Next up, lets look to a very long-time member of the X-Men, the powerful psychic Jean Grey. Jean's had a lot of looks over the years, and quite a few of them are available for you to use in costume form. 

Jean Grey Marvel Cinematic
Universe Costume
If you are a fan of somewhat less heroic Dark Phoenex era of Jean Grey's comic book run, you can find a great replica of her red jumpsuit costume from that storyline on the right. Why not combine it with some fun golden heeled boots?

If you prefer the green version of that outfit, you can find that here. If you weren't blessed with long red hair at birth, then you can finish the outfit off with this lovely long red wig.

If you like her velveteen red suit and overcoat from the movies, that is also available in cosplay form. Check out the beautiful replica on the left, for example, which comes with everything you see in the image. If you don't have hair like Jean's, this is a great wig for finishing off the look.

Ms. Rogue Spandex Costume
Psylocke Cosplay Costume
For those of you who want to keep a good distance between yourself and others, lest you drain away their lives and energy, you're in need of an awesome costume based on the comic book stylings of Rogue. Above is one such bright and colorful spandex jumpsuit with Rogue's signature green and yellow design. You can get a great two tone wig for this costume here.

Last, but not least, one of my favourite super-heroine costumes is that of the deadly Psylocke, an unusual leather-look purple number which has been replicated with the costume on the right. It's pretty cool! Each set of this costume comes with the jumpsuit and vest, the leg covers, gloves, and matching waistbelt. If you do end up going for this costume, you just have to have purple hair to go with it. Find a great purple hair wig here.

So there you have it! Eight fantastic costumes for dressing up as the women of the Xmen comic books and Marvel Cinematic Universe. I hope you found a costume that is just perfect for you and have a tone of fun dressing up at your Halloween party or convention. If you are still looking for costume ideas, be sure to check out the rest of my blog, where you will find hundred of costume themes to give you all the inspiration you could want. Have fun!

Scarlet Witch Cosplay Outfit
Red Faux Leather Jacket
The Scarlet Witch has finally ascended to be one of the new Avengers as of Captain America: Civil War, and that means its time for a Scarlet Witch Halloween costume post!

How you go about putting together this costume really depends on your budget. If money is no limit, I definitely recommend going for a custom made Scarlet Witch cosplay outfit like the one above, which comes with the top, pants and fingerless gloves.

If you are on a budget, however, you can make an amazing Scarlet Witch costume out of a short black skater dress like the one on the left and combining it with a burgundy leather jacket like the one on the right. Then, all you need are some knee high leather boots and a long brown wig like the one featured below to finish off the look. Perfect!

Suicide Squad is many things, and the main thing is stylish. Harley Quinn was already the comic book world's sweetheart, but now she has a new outfit and is joined by another bad ass woman with an improbably effective weapon, the brooding Katana! If you fancy cosplaying as members of the suicide squad this Halloween, I highly recommend the costumes above. You can get the matching wig for the Harley costume here, while the Katana wig is available here. Don't forget to pick up their weapons too, a baseball bat for Harley and a...katana...for...Katana.

Bravo Detainee Harley Costume
That's not the only Harley Quinn costume from the movie, however, you can also get the orange jumpsuit that Harley wears while detained in the maximum security prison, featured above. Each set comes with the button up orange shirt, tank top, and matching pants. We also get some cameos of her outfits from other media: you can check out some costume replicas of those outfits here.

Harley Quinn Suicide
Squad Boots
You can also get a tonne of accessories for the Harley Quinn outfit separately, such as the completely stunning heeled black and white boots on the right. Also available for the costume if Harley's gold spiked cuffs, Puddin' Belt and matching bracelet, as well as some temporary tattoos in the style of Harley's to finish off the look. With all than that, you'll be more than ready to cause some chaos.

How to Dress Up as Marvel's Deadpool

Rubie's Deadpool Costume for Women
(Available in the UK and EU Here)
Deadpool Mask
They made a Deadpool costume for women! This was a surprise to me, as normally the ladies have to wait years to get a fitting version of superhero costumes, if it ever comes out at all. It looks pretty awesome too! Each set of the above costume comes with the bodysuit and detachable mask. This costume would work really well paired with these dragon ninja katana swords and these Deadpool boot covers. Don't bother bringing guns, you'll just end up leaving them in the car.

If you want a mask which hides your eyes, I would pick up the mask on the right separately. If you want a less shiny bodysuit, then I recommend you check out this unisex version, which has the advantage of a slightly more accurate mask.
