A creative Destiny 2 player has masterfully transformed their Guardian into Mysterio, the infamous Spider-Man villain, using in-game cosmetics. Not only does the character bear a striking resemblance to the Marvel villain, but the player also tailored their Guardian's abilities to mimic Mysterio’s powers, fully embracing the role of the master illusionist.
Cosmetics play a significant role in Destiny 2, with players often using the game’s extensive selection of armor pieces to craft unique looks and identities for their Guardians. This Mysterio-inspired cosplay is just one example of how players creatively use in-game items to recreate iconic characters, similar to another player who recently turned their Guardian into the horror figure Slenderman.
Reddit user SoliloquyZero shared their Mysterio-themed Guardian on the DestinyFashion subreddit, impressing the community with the attention to detail in their outfit. The user also provided a detailed list of the armor pieces and shaders used to achieve the look:
Helmet: Limitless Subversion Casque with the Shards of Stillness Shader
Arms: Aphotic Lamellar Grips with the Twisting Strands Shader
Chest: Aphotic Lamellar Vest with the Twisting Strands Shader
Legs: Default Ornament with the Atmospheric Glow Shader
Cloak: Wild Hunt Cloak with the Nectar Dynamo Shader
While Mysterio is a classic Marvel villain from the Spider-Man comics, SoliloquyZero specifically modeled their Guardian after the live-action version of the character from Spider-Man: Far From Home, as portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal. Although the in-game cosmetics have their limitations, the resemblance is still impressive, and fans in the comments were quick to praise the player for their dedication and creativity.
