Someone thought I would make a good X23 before I ever knew who she was. Also I thought it would be easy to make it by reusing some costume pieces.

I used the Alita Bodysuit, I bought a leather belt and used it as a corset for the costume. I sculpted an X symbol to attach to the corset. Chris did the claws, the were sculpted and cast in resin, since they wouldn’t allow real metal at conventions. The design for them came from a letter opener. It just always seems strange to me when people do wolverine claws but they are bigger than their forearm. How does that work?

I have only worn this costume once and it was for a brief time. I need to wear it out again, maybe when I have worked out my arms, so I can have fearsome biceps.
