The MCU is poised to bring the Storm gets a real-world design that could become her official look in the MCU, proving there's much left to explore in how this character can look in the movies.

Recently brought to life by Shaya (@theshayaverse) on Instagram, this Storm cosplay, along with all the others Shaya has designed, created, and worn over the years, shows just how talented the fan community can be when developing costumes for characters they resonate with.

Previously dressing as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s Jessica Drew, Shaya has also delved into the worlds of video games and anime with her spot-on costumes of Castlevania’s Alucard, Chainsaw Man’s Power, Jujutsu Kaisen’s Suguru Geto, and even her unique take on Transformers’ Optimus Prime bolstering Shaya’s cosplay resume with impressive custom designs that fans can truly appreciate.

New Storm Cosplay Shows Exactly What the McU’s Version of the Character Should Look Like

An Omega-level mutant, or a mutant whose mastery over their specific power has no definable limit that can be sured by anyone other than themselves, Storm’s weather-based abilities are a force to be reckoned no matter how she chooses to wield them. Capable of unleashing hell at a moment’s notice, Storm can use her powers to conjure debilitating lightning storms, high winds, flood waters, climate-altering weather pattern changes, and more, with Storm’s wardrobe of iconic costumes — like her punk-rock look, all-white shoulder-padded suit, and recent “Brutal Storm” design — adding some style to her role as a leader of the X-Men.

Wearing a black top with a comic-accurate black hairband, Shaya adds gold shoulder pads, neck jewelry, wrist accents, and an upper chest design that help the rest of her look pop, with the second image in the post showing Shaya's costume in profile, further proving that this look could easily work in the MCU.

Though Storm has already had a pair of live-action portrayals in X-Men’s Halle Berry and X-Men: Apocalypse’s Alexandra Shipp, neither has come close to fully capturing the comic-accurate look or feel of this iconic mutant hero, leaving cosplay talents like Shaya (@theshayaverse) to do the hard work of crafting a real-world design that does Storm’s character justice while acting as inspiration for her next big screen appearance. The X-Men will arrive in the MCU soon enough, so here’s hoping that when Storm makes her inevitable debut onscreen, she arrives wielding her Omega-level powers while wearing this awesome Omega-level costume too.
