The X-Men haven’t encountered a villain as terrifying as Mojo in years, but now a new cosplay perfectly embodies the ruler of Mojoworld in all of his strange and uncanny glory. .
Due to Mojo’s scary and inhuman appearance, there isn’t much effort to portray him through cosplay. However, photographer and podcaster Pat Loika managed to do just that. He featured the cosplay on his Instagram account @patloika, showing a stunning depiction of the witch Helix and her mysterious owner, Mojo. The effects are done through modeling and manipulation with the camera, but the results are astounding.
This ambitious X-Men cosplay was made with the help of several collaborators. First and foremost, @graciethecosplaylass shows off her gorgeous outfits and looks for Spiral. With four extra arms and an impressive array of weapons, her presence is a real compliment to her grotesque master. Created by @scotts_monster_shop, Mojo has impressive height and stunning details. Although the ruler of Mojoworld isn’t real, the model is sophisticated enough to impress even the most skeptical fan. Finally, Loika credits artist @tomraneyart for inspiring her cosplay creations.
This cosplay deserves a TV show produced by Mojo
The Mojo are part of a race known as the Spineless Ones, a cybernetic race that is gradually driven insane by television shows from the neighboring dimensions of 616 Earth. Thus, the power of Mojoworld is built. built on the television industry, and Mojo rose to the top with super-violent and macabre broadcasts in which warriors were forced to fight and die to please their audiences. Over the years, he’s developed a special bond with mutants in general and the X-Men in particular. On more than one occasion, he captured Professor Xavier’s students and forced them to participate in his Mojoworld broadcast competitions.
He is aided by slaves like Helix, a former stuntman and rebel leader named Rita Wayward, until Mojo manipulates her and turns her into a loyal servant. Mojo is a brutal and terrifying performer, as well as a manipulative at heart, who even once forced Rachel Summers to work for him. He is also a master at gene manipulation and creation, as seen in the newborn X-Men he created. Despite that, Mojo is a seemingly silly villain, but not anything.
His mechanical legs and odd looks also deter many cosplayers from trying to get serious with his form. Now, however, Pat Loika and his cosplay collaborators are giving fans a real-life look at what Mojo would look like if the last X-Men villain stepped off the stage. TV screen and enter our real world.
