New Disney Hero THE WIZARD Is a Cosplayer’s Dream (& The Anti-Maleficent)

Cosplayers may favor more popular Disney characters, but the Wizard is a new and simple warrior willing to take on Maleficent. Disney Villains: Maleficent #5 features the debut of the new hero whose design is perfect for cosplayers of all skill levels. While simplistic, the Wizard is an excellent deep-dive cosplay option for Disney comic fans.

Disney Villains: Maleficent #5 – written and illustrated by Soo Lee – provides Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent fans with an original story featuring the shapeshifting villainess.

It highlights other encounters she has had which have not had the most positive consequences for royalty. Even the Wizard doesn’t find themselves making much headway when facing off with the dark fairy.

The Wizard Has a Simple but Epic Design

Within Maleficent #5, the Disney villainess faces off against the Wizard, a cloak-wearing, magic-wielding woman. Their battle is enchanting, though Maleficent comes out on top. Nonetheless, the Wizard’s appearance would make for a stunning cosplay, which could be wondrous and unique, especially paired with the villain as a two-person ensemble. Given Maleficent’s end comes at Prince Phillip’s hand with the help of the fairies (Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather), it was rather obvious she would not be defeated here. Nonetheless, The Wizard puts up an enchanting fight with a simple and elegant look. Paired with Maleficent’s signature thorns, this comic provides a look at just how powerful the dark fairy is.

Disney Cosplay Duet: Maleficent vs. The Wizard

The Wizard has orange hair, wears a teal cloak accessorized by a sash, and wields a wooden, orbed staff. A Wizard cosplay would be incredible to behold next to a cosplay of Maleficent, with thorns added around the heroine. Though this magical being debuted in only the concluding issue of the series, she provides a true glimpse into how powerful Disney’s iconic villainess really is. She can best not only three fairies, and soldiers, but also even more magic wielders and shapeshifters. Her own shapeshifting ability has been known to be impressive, since she took on a dragon form in the 1959 animated feature, but Disney Villains: Maleficent has showed off her broader skill.

The simplicity of The Wizard makes it an easy costume for newer cosplayers, while also being perfect for experienced cosplayers looking for a unique character. This new heroine may not have been able to overcome Maleficent in Disney Villains: Maleficent #5, but she put up a good fight, and has excellent magic skills. Ultimately, her impressive skills drove home the point of how powerful Maleficent herself truly was, in order to be able to overcome the Wizard. Disney cosplayers looking for a simple, but beautiful, and elegant, look for their next cosplay have the perfect opportunity with Disney Villains: Maleficent’s the Wizard.
