Step into one of our three most memorable women's Marvel costumes
Female superheroes and supervillains inspire us. Their alter egos are usually average people who overcome adversity before realising their superpowers and taking on the world.
Marvel women are complex characters, abundant in sass, humour, and fearlessness. Their costumes convey their stealthy athleticism and combat mastery.
Would you like to go as a femme fatale or confident conqueror to your next fancy dress party? If so, we’ve done some legwork to help you decide which Marvel superhero you want to personify.
1. Spider-Woman
Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman, was meant to be a one-off character in the Marvel comic series in 1977, but the comic sold so well that her character was developed into an ongoing series. There’s mixed historical information on how she attained her web-creature attributes and superpowers. As with most Marvel characters, Spider-Woman is multi-faceted and her story spans decades.
In 2005 the character was resurrected in The New Avengers and the once dominant web-wielding savoir was brought back to the mainstream. Spider-Woman has been building her skills and defending the world alongside fellow Avengers Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine.
Don’t let this
Spider-Woman tutu costume adaptation fool you into thinking she's any less fearless than she is. Spider-Woman's ability to effortlessly leap between buildings and crawl their walls is advanced by her pheromone manipulation capabilities that can cast spells on her enemies. Another one of her biological weapons is her venom blast which can stun or kill most humans!
If the tutu version of this costume isn't for you, you might prefer saving the city in a
Spider-Woman slinky bodysuit instead. Enhance the look with a pair of
spider-web patterned stockings. For younger superheroines, we have our
deluxe spider heroine costume, complete with an eye mask.
2. Gamora
Gamora is a green-skinned alien who has a lot to fight for, considering she is the last of her species. Adopted and raised by supervillain Thanos, Gamora grew up to become a force to be reckoned with but the good kind, unlike her father. A fierce warrior in every sense of the word, one of her most famous quotes is:
"Whatever nightmares the future holds are dreams compared to what's behind me."
In 2014, total babe Zoe Saldana brought Gamora to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in
Guardians of the Galaxy. She is the only woman of the group, but that suits her stoic nature just fine, thanks to the lone-wolf upbringing that she had.
Not to be messed with, Gamora has learned to paralyse or kill opponents using vital nerve-point strikes. She’s also handy with a knife and sword and is backed up by superhuman strength and athletic agility. Injuries won’t keep her down due to her rapid-healing abilities.
Blossoms can clothe you in
Gamora’s svelte jumpsuit, complete with alien green sleeves and a
red-dipped mane to transform you into this super alien hero.
3. Black Widow
Natalia Alianovna Romanova is her birth name and although she's gone undercover with many aliases,
you will know her as the Black Widow.
Debuting her espionage expertise with the KGB, the Black Widow evolved through many adaptations before becoming Iron Man’s antagonist who was played in full butt-kicking glory by Scarlett Johannsen in 2010. On her path to redemption, the Black Widow fled to the United States to join the spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. and became a revered member of the Avengers superhero team.
When you
embody the Black Widow, you take on her expert martial arts skills in karate, judo, and jujitsu. Black Widow also possesses the unique ability to retain a youthful appearance. Plus, she quickly recovers from injuries, thanks to her enhanced immune system. In the films, her costume is synthetic stretch fabric equipped with micro-suction cups on her fingers and feet which lets her adhere to walls and ceilings.
You’ll never miss a target, and you'll always be one step ahead of the enemy with her sharp
markswoman abilities. Complete this look with Black Widow's
trademark auburn locks.
