One Marvel Rivals fan created an incredible Magik cosplay, showing off their version of the character's design. Thanks to the impressive roster of heroes and villains in Marvel Rivals, fans often showcase their love for the game, and this recent cosplay is an excellent example of what the community can create.
There are currently 38 characters in Marvel Rivals, offering a wide range of abilities and play styles for gamers. As a team-based hero shooter, this diversity allows teams to devise many effective strategies. In addition to their engaging kits, many Marvel Rivals characters have become popular thanks to their in-game designs.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Gameplay of New ‘Immortal Sovereign’ Skin for Scarlet Witch
Marvel Rivals gives gamers a fresh look at the upcoming Immortal Sovereign skin for the Duelist Scarlet Witch in NetEase Games' popular hero shooter.
One recent cosplay was created and shared by Cutiepiesensei on Reddit. As seen in the image, the cosplayer wore black armor that resembled Magik’s from Marvel Rivals, catching the attention of the game’s subreddit. In addition, they held the character’s massive sword in one of the poses, helping sell the incredible look. When sharing the post on Reddit, Cutiepiesensei revealed they created all the armor using Eva foam. The real-life sword was designed by hokuprops and saidaprops.
Marvel Rival Fan's Impressive Magik Cosplay
The cosplay has gained over 9.2K upvotes on Reddit, with many praising the design of the Marvel Rivals Duelist. Specifically, one fan highlighted the little details on the character’s headpiece, evidencing the time put into the project. According to Cutiepiesensei, creating the armor patterning was challenging at first, but it became easier as they went along. It is worth noting that this is far from the only cosplay they have made and shared on places like Reddit. For example, Cutiepiesensei previously created an Urbosa cosplay inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Unsurprisingly, many other fans have taken inspiration from Marvel Rivals to create incredible cosplays. One example was a Hela cosplay by Desiluted that recreated the villain's iconic green outfit, complete with her elaborate headpiece. The game’s lineup of popular heroes gives fans numerous options to choose from, and more continue to be added as NetEase looks to expand the roster in new updates.
Most recently, Marvel Rivals added Emma Frost as a new playable character at the start of Season 2. In addition, Ultron is expected to be released in the coming weeks, with even more teased via leaks. As these new characters are added to the game, it will be interesting to see if they inspire even more impressive cosplay projects.
