The mad scientist character archetype has been tried and tested time and time again. However, it\u2019s hard to find a game that has done it better than Overwatch. They even managed to pull it off twice. Moira O\u2019Deorain, better known as Moira, is a geneticist who cares more about scientific advancement than human rights and ethics. It\u2019s a little ironic, considering she\u2019s a support hero. Siebren de Kuiper, also known by his alias, Sigma, is very much the same. He\u2019s an eccentric astrophysicist who gained the power to manipulate gravity after an experiment went wrong. Cosplayers are often community-minded, and three creative minds came together to bring Sigma and Moira to life. Stracichu and Lictor_01 teamed up with a photographer named Axel Nova, and the results are stunning. The picture shows them standing back-to-back in what looks like an eerily-lit science lab. It even has some incredible after effects, including Sigma\u2019s Hyperspheres and Moira\u2019s Biotic Orb. View this post on Instagram The outfits are based on flashbacks when we see the characters dressed up in lab coats. They\u2019re both white with black and silver seams and hang well past their knees. Sigma\u2019s looks a bit like a military-jacket, with a high half-collar on his neck. It also has blue straps on the collar and around his elbows. He\u2019s also wearing black gloves and even colored his hair slightly grey. Moira\u2019s looks a bit more traditional with a standard buttoned-up collar. However, she\u2019s included a purple and black patch and two canisters with biotic energy strapped around her waist. The highlight is definitely the hair, though, which looks like the real deal. View this post on Instagram It was a combined effort, and all three of them did an incredible job. The outfits were breathtaking from head to toe, the poses were on-point, and the photography was slick and professional. Overwatch players love seeing their favorite characters brought to life, and talented cosplayers know exactly how to pull it off. The post on the Overwatch subreddit has already generated almost 7,000 upvotes, and they\u2019re all well deserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overwatch cosplayers embrace inner mad scientist as Sigma and Moira Activision-Blizzard \/ Axel NovaOverwatch characters all have their quirks and differences, but Sigma and Moira have something in common; they\u2019re both mad scientists, and two cosplayers brought them to life in a stunning way.
