Summary

Marvel Studios is currently in the beginning phase of build itsX - Mencontinuity , though there ’s oneclassicX - Mencharacter who the MCU might want to skip , despite the fact that one cosplay brought her to animation beautifully . This fictional character - in - question is one of the old and most powerful in Marvel Comics canon , and her presence in the MCU would mean the heroes would n’t stand a chance - and that character ’s name is Selene .

UserPat Loikaposted a exposure on Instagram featuring Kori ( blurry cryptid ) in absolutely jaw - dangle Selene Gallio cosplay . Standing in a wood , surrounded by fire - engulfed sustenance skeleton , ‘ genus Selene ’ uncaringly looks at an unseen object she holds in her script , with the other carrying the flame skull of one the diabolic ghouls surround her .

The cosplayer ’s physical costume is absolutely thoroughgoing , as they ’ve captured the esthetic of Selene to a teeing ground . But beyond that , the image itself creates a scene for the fibre that Marvel Comics ’ original Selene would undoubtedly regain familiar , as she is no stranger to the immensurable infliction and regret of those around her - something that ’s made vindicated by her mostly nefarious yesteryear and the dreadful nature of her tycoon .

Who Is X-Men’s Selene Gallio? Powers & Origin, Explained

First appearance:New Mutants#9 by Chris Claremont and Sal Buscema

Selene Gallio is what ’s known as an External , an immortal subspecies of sport . There are only a handful of known Externals in the Marvel Universe , and Selene stands out among them as the oldest External , as she ’s been alive for 17,000 years . Like all Externals , Selene can only be bolt down by another External , and only if it ’s done a sure way - ei , another External has to either debilitate her sprightliness force or down her center before doing the same to every other External for make her death stick .

Aside from being extremely hard - if not impossible - to kill , Selene is also incredibly powerful . Selene has the power to drain anyone she stir of their life history military group , which suffice to both retain her youth ( as she ’d grow previous without die otherwise ) and fuel her powers . Those powers include psychokinesis , pyrokinesis , telepathy , and the usual gamut of superhuman abilities , including super strength , speed , stamina , and durability . Plus , she has a mastery of the mystic arts that touch the Sorcerer Supreme ( any Sorcerer Supreme ) .

Selene Can Never Appear in the MCU, Despite Looking Amazing in Jaw-Dropping Cosplay

Even if Selene could be killed by relatively normal means , she ’d still wipe the story with practically every hero who ’s ever appeared in the MCU base on her superhuman powers alone . Add to that the fact that Selene is effectively immortal , and she becomes way too sinewy to be featured in any film or TV series . However , after seeing what fans could get with a live - natural action Selene from this jaw - dropping cosplay , the MCU might just have to make an exception .

The only ground Selene perhaps should n’t be in the MCU is because - truthfully - she ’s too much of a badass . No one would be able to match her , making the storylines Selene would be have in far too one - sided . That being said , Selene does have an extensive chronicle in Marvel Comics without an issue , so if the MCU were to introduce more heavy - hitting submarine , then Selene could make her prescribed lively - action debut . And if she does , then this ‘ mutant ’ who is effectively too powerful for the MCU should appear precisely like she does in this outstandingX - Mencosplay .
