Summary
ADestiny 2player has created the ultimate Marvel crossover by turning their Guardian into the infamousSpider-Manvillain Mysterio using in-game cosmetics. Along with the uncanny resemblance, the player also built theirDestiny 2character to use abilities similar to Mysterio’s to emulate playing as the villain and to get fully in character.
Cosmetics are a big draw inDestiny 2, with many players utilizing the game’s countless pieces of armor to create unique outfits and personas for their Guardians as they travel throughout the galaxy. This player’s Mysterio cosplay is one of many examples of players using in-game cosmetics to create virtual costumes, with another notable player recentlyturning their Guardian into the creepypasta icon Slenderman.
Reddit user SoliloquyZero shared an image of their Guardian on the DestinyFashion subreddit decked out in gear and shaders making them appear like the master illusionist Mysterio from the Marvel universe. The player, who also shared a list of every armor item and shader used to create the getup, quickly impressed fans with their dedication.
Gear and Shaders Used To Make Mysterio In Destiny 2
While Mysterio originally hails fromMarvel’s Spider-Mancomic books, the user posted their Guardian alongside the live-action iteration of the character from the Marvel Studios filmSpider-Man: Far From Home,portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal. The resemblance isn’t perfect giventhe limitations of the cosmetics available inDestiny 2,but it impressed fans in the comments nonetheless, with most showering the user with praise for their work.
Aside from simply looking like Mysterio, the player’s Guardian can also create duplicates of themselves using the Clone ability fromthe Prismatic Hunter build inDestiny 2.In the Marvel comics from which he hails, Mysterio is known for being deceptive and using similar tactics to fight Spider-Man and other opponents, similar to how the Hunter’s Clone ability works.
Some fans pointed out that it might make more sense for Mysterio to be a Warlock, one of the other classes inDestiny 2,considering its stronger focus on magic abilities, but the user claimed that the Hunter’s cape worked better aesthetically. In any case, this user may have some competition, asanother player has taken a similar approach to transform their Guardian into Spider-Man, Mysterio’s longtime archenemy who is sure to be running around somewhere in the game.
