First modelled in 2018.
Cosplay number 4.
10 Public Appearances.
1 appearance in the film Invisible Heroes.
This is Daredevil, based off of the first season of the Netflix (now Disney+) series. This is the first appearance suit, when Daredevil was known as the ‘masked vigilante.’
I made a holster, sanded down a broom handle and even made ‘safe’ wooden clubs by wrapping pvc pipes with a wood texture. Prior to the wooden ones I made clubs out of kitchen roll tubes and black electrical tape. For the main costume I managed to source the sporting gear used in the show, including the (lesser known) wrist binders, gloves, hexagonal padding etc. I found lightweight fabric that can block out your face, but does not entirely obstruct your vision (which I used to make the mask) and put it all together. In this cosplay I met Charlie Cox himself, at Wales Comic-Con. I was so star struck, however, that when he asked, “Can you see me, in that mask?” I answered honestly and didn’t make a joke about being Daredevil.
For a long time, this was my favourite cosplay and it is one I am dying to wear again. After Covid, I gained a lot of weight (which I am still slowly working off) and I have not been able to comfortably wear this cosplay since.
This cosplay has been involved in a film documentary, life drawing and a recording for Mitchell Brook School, answering questions about being a superhero –
which opened up an inclusive learning experience for that class to learn about braille.
This was one of my original cosplays when I started out on my journey and I hope to do it again soon!
