WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for Titans #12!The Titans’ new android forms are their most badass redesign in decades and serve as ideal inspiration for fans seeking to spice up their DC superhero cosplay. This eerie and borderline disturbing rendition of the Titans can also be easily replicated and adapted to any DC hero, offering fans the chance to give their favorite characters an epic twist.

Tom Taylor and Lucas Meyer’s Titans #12 continues from where issue #11 left off, plunging the Titans into battle against their newest adversary, Vanadia. Originally a Titan superfan, Vanadia has been transformed into an AMAZO-like android by Professor Thomas Oscar Morrow and is under the control of Amanda Waller.

Waller manipulates Vanadia into believing that androids are impersonating the Titans, commanding her to defeat them. A notable panel in the issue shows Nightwing, Donna Troy, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy as viewed through Vanadia’s eyes, portraying them as unsettling android versions of themselves.

Nightwing, Starfire, Donna Troy, Cyborg, and Beast Boy’s New Android Forms Are a Cosplay Dream Come True

The Titans’ Android Forms Are Featured in Their Battle Against Vanadia

The Titans’ android forms present eerie versions of themselves, characterized by blacked-out eyes with glowing yellow/green pupils and facial designs resembling Chelsea smiles—a wound that extends from the corners of the mouth to the ears, leaving a scar in a twisted grin. Moreover, their exposed skin prominently displays seams and bolts, enhancing their robotic appearance. Each hero’s expression ranges from blank to menacing, cementing this new look as one of the Titans’ most terrifying yet undeniably badass transformations.

For fans already cosplaying as Titans, this android twist is easily replicable, as most of the robotic components can be simulated using homemade prosthetics or makeup. The seams and bolts will be particularly easy to replicate because fans can simply draw them on using face paint or makeup. For cosplayers looking for a more three-dimensional look to the seams and bolts, shading or prosthetics can be used to achieve this effect; the same applies for replicating the Chelsea smile. Lastly, purchasing costume contacts from a reputable seller will help cosplayers replicate the unique glowing eyes look.

The Concept of the Titans’ Android Forms Can Easily Be Applied to Any DC Hero Cosplay

Which DC Character Would You Transform Into an Android?

The Titans’ android forms are versatile enough to be applied to any DC hero due to their simplistic and consistent design. Upon reviewing the Titans’ android forms, fans will notice that the robotic components of each character design are largely identical, with the unique aspects being the characters themselves. Therefore, Superman, Wonder Woman, or any other hero cosplayer could effortlessly incorporate the seams, bolts, and glowing eyes into their cosplay, effectively transforming their chosen character into an android version. Hopefully, this concept will circulate within the cosplay community, inspiring epic android versions of the Titans and other DC characters.
