DC's New Shazam Stuns in Comics Accurate Cosplay
Mary Marvel, the newest champion of Shazam, stuns in an awesome new comic-accurate cosplay. The last few months have been some of the most tumultuous in Shazam’s history, and soon Mary will become the leader of the Shazam family in a forthcoming miniseries by Doc Shaner. While fans wait patiently for Mary’s time in the sun, cosplayer Dark Matter Cosplay perfectly recreates Shazam’s newest champion in all her glory.
Mary Marvel has been a constant in nearly every incarnation of Shazam. Mary is the second member of the Shazam family after her brother Billy, and it is not a stretch to see Mary Marvel as a forerunner to characters such as Supergirl and Batgirl. Recently, Shazam’s powers have been on the fritz, and as revealed in last year’s Future State, he will make a deal with the demon Neron, splitting himself into two. Shazam, without Billy’s conscience, will run amok, becoming a remorseless killer, while Billy will be trapped in Hell. DC recently revealed that Mary will become Shazam’s new champion in a new mini-series coming this summer, titled The Champion of Shazam; she is also set to return in Shazam: Fury of the Gods. Cosplayer Dark Matter Cosplay, who regularly creates amazing photo shoots, has now taken on Mary Marvel—and the results are astounding.

The photos themselves are stunning, showcasing a highly faithful, comics-accurate costume, created by Sim Cosplay. The outfit is complete with bracelets, a skirt, and white boots.
