Overwatch cosplayer goes viral after creating Mercy wings fit for flight YouTube: Zibartas \/ BlizzardOverwatch cosplayer \u2018Zibartas\u2019 has once again stunned players with his incredibly detailed costumes, with his finalized Mercy wings going viral. The best part yet, they are basically fit for flight \u2014 barring a few biological barriers. Mercy is one of Overwatch\u2019s most recognizable characters. The Swiss battle medic darts around the field thanks to the aid of her mechanical wings, keeping her allies topped up and on their feet. While many have made the wings out of foam or other materials for conventional cosplays in the past, Zibartas went one better. The Danish cosplay creator has created a fully-functioning set \u2014 minus the flying bit for now \u2014 to show off how Mercy\u2019s wings could work in real life. \ud83d\udc50I finally finished my Mercy wings \ud83d\ude3b\ud83d\ude2dAll steel and aluminum!\u2728@PlayOverwatch @LuciePohlComedy #overwatchcosplay #mercy pic.twitter.com\/cMY2K5diKx \u2014 Zibartas Cosplay (@zibartas) August 3, 2020 Zibartas has shared the progress of this build before. He started off with a metal frame, powering it with a motor to get it all working. Then, he added super bright LED lights to get it all shiny. Now, he\u2019s put the final touches on to make it a bit easier to operate. It\u2019s all polished up, the back \u201cengine\u201d with the motor is protected from the elements, and it\u2019s ready for battle. \u201cI finally finished my Mercy wings,\u201d the Dane tweeted on August 4, seemingly somewhat relieved.

The metallic silver doesn\u2019t really fit the usually-white angel, but Zibartas can get a pass on this given the incredible amount of detail he\u2019s put into this. They practically glow all day and night with super bright LEDs. The wings retract in and out like Mercy\u2019s do when she darts around with Valkyrie and Guardian Angel. And after all, after shaving off some of the weight, he can now comfortably wear them for periods of time. It\u2019s not the first time Zibartas has stunned the Overwatch community. His original set of Mercy wings were incredibly popular the first time they were shared around, but since then he\u2019s made many improvements to get to this rendition. He\u2019s also taken on creating Doomfist\u2019s arm, again featuring his signature LED glows, as well as a full kit out for Soldier: 76 \u2014 mask, gun, and all. Now all that\u2019s missing is a full outfit for Mercy \u2014 with Caduceus Staff and all \u2014 to show off. He could potentially pull it off too, given Mercy was canonically male during Overwatch\u2019s early development. If it\u2019s even half as good as the wings, our jaws would be on the floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
