Best Valkyrie Costume Guide
Valkyrie of the Thor movies origin is not an immortal, unlike the mighty Thor himself. Yet she is the strongest amongst all her kind. Her aging process is considerably slower than that of humans due to her immunity to all diseases. She is also incredibly difficult to injure in combat, which further reduces her chances of mortality. This Asgardian senses the imminence of death when it draws near. This gift is greatly enhanced by her ability to move bilaterally in between the realms of life and death. Valkyrie has supreme fighting skills unrivaled in all of Asgard, except for Sif. She excels in unarmed combat and also in wielding a sword with lethal precision.
Just think of all the compliments you’ll get dressed as this Asgardian warrior in her Leather Vest Jacket, Stretchy Rider Leggings, Knee High Combat Boots, Fingerless Gloves, Superhero Cape, White Face Paint, and Valkyrie Sword. Make sure to leave this sword at home when you go out, or at least get a plastic version of it.
Valkyrie Cosplay Costumes
Valkyrie, also known in Asgard as Brunnhilde, was specially hand-picked by the Asgard monarch, Odin, to take charge of the Valkyrior, his personal battalion of goddess-warrior shield-maidens. She is customarily depicted wielding her enchanted sword Dragonfang next to her fabled winged stallion, Aragorn. Valkyrie became one of the founders of the Secret Avengers. Together with Misty Knight, she was also a joint leader of the mighty Defenders. There have been various earthly characters who have played host to her Asgardian spirit, namely Annabelle Riggs, Samantha Parrington, Sian Bowen, and Barbara Norris.
If you’re looking for a fierce and strong character to cosplay, Valkyrie is a great choice. Don’t forget to take your friends with you and make it an Asgardian party with Thor, Loki, and their evil villainous sister, Hela. Of course, the more the merrier, so you can even include some of the Avengers characters as part of your group cosplay.
About Valkyrie
Valkyrie is the female superhero from the mythical kingdom of Asgard ruled by Odin, the father of Thor. John Buscema and Roy Thomas jointly created her iconic character based on the Norse folklore and fictitious persona of Brynhildr (anglicised as Brunnhilde) to add an element of excitement to the existing pantheon of Thor characters. She gained reinforced credibility and credence as an earlier lover and ally of the invincible, mighty Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder. She was also the co-leader of the Defenders and founding member of the Secret Avengers.
Valkyrie has the distinction of being ranked as one of the top 30 in The Top 50 Avengers listed by IGN. She also came in at an impressive 65th position as one of the 100 Sexiest Women in Comics by Comics Buyer’s Guide.
