Deep down, everyone wants to be a hero. Legendary cosplayer Alyson Tabbitha is no different. Except for the fact that being just one hero isn’t enough for her. Sometimes it seems like she wants to embody every single famous character of a comic book, movie, and video game in existence. At least for a few hours.

Alyson has been cosplaying professionally since 2014. Since then, her cool costumes have turned many a head and inspired others to take up this difficult art of DIY cosplay. Not to mention that her success has bred intense but friendly rivalry with other cosplayers.

Keep on scrolling, share your fave Alyson cosplay costumes with your friends, and remember to upvote the ones you love most! When you’re done, check out Bored Panda’s other post about Alyson the cosplayer.

You could've told me that was a still from the movie and I would've believed you. Amazing.

A mind-boggling 1 million cosplay fans follow Alyson on Instagram, while another 516,000 Internet users follow her on Facebook. I’m sure that some of us are a tiny bit jealous of all the attention. However, it’s easy to see why Alyson has such massive support — she makes very high quality, detailed DIY costumes that are close to perfection.

Alyson, who describes herself as “just a girl that likes to play dress up & make things“, enjoys fullfiling cosplay ideas both as women and men alike: from Lara Croft and Queen Amidala to Newt Scamander and Legolas. Her resemblance to these characters is uncanny!

The origins of cosplay can be found way back in history, in the masquerade balls of the 15th century. A century later, they turned into costumed public festivals in Italy. Later on, the 19th century saw the rise in popularity of American costume and British fancy dress parties.

However, modern cosplay can be traced back to 1908 when Mr. and Mrs. William Fell dressed up as the characters Mr. Skygack and Miss Dillpickles for a masquerade at a skating rink.

Her eyes kind of make her look like Keira Knightley doing Jack Sparrow. Super cool

I can't believe how much she really looks like MJ in that one. She got the eyes perfectly.

PERFECT! In my opinion, like everyone else's, she is the splitting image of MJ in character. Not even MJ could do better!!! In my opinion......

The others were perfect! This, ALMOST. It is as close as you can get, but the face doesn't quite match up....granted, it is FAR better than anyone else could get except the original actress.

The first people to wear costumes to a convention were science fiction fans, Forrest J. Ackerman and Myrtle R. Douglas: they attended the 1939 1st World Science Fiction Convention in New York dressed in futuristic costumes, including green cape and breeches. Fan costuming caught on since then and the 2nd Worldcon in 1940 had both an unofficial masquerade held in Douglas' room and an official masquerade as part of the program.

I wonder if she recreated the scene where Leia looks down the hallway with both hands on the blaster

I think his face shape might've been a little too different for her to get it spot on. Still really cool though!
