In a new live action cosplay, the the Thunderbolts. This cosplay proves that this dark version of the Avengers deserves to be adapted to the big screen.
Melissa Gold began her super-powered career after running away from a troubled past and ing up with a wrestling group known as the Grapplers. Making very little money, the Grapplers took up shady side jobs from the Roxxon Oil Company, which outfitted them with powered suits. Melissa then went on to the first iteration of the Thunderbolts, where she took the name Songbird. Since then, she's committed crimes as a minor villain, and it wasn't until she started working with Hawkeye that she began to reform.
A new cosplay shared on Twitter by and Jane Foster's Thor, to lesser-known manga and video game characters. Her depiction as Songbird perfectly sets up what an MCU iteration of the character might look like.
Songbird has an extensive history with the Thunderbolts, having served on multiple iterations of the team. Most recently, she ed up with the team again to rescue The Winter Soldier, who was the leader of the Thunderbolts at the time. Though it was successful, it resulted in disaster for the team and Songbird hasn't been present in comics since then. However, with a new team on the horizon, she might show up again soon as a veteran Thunderbolt. Writer Jim Zub is releasing a new Thunderbolts story, this time with Hawkeye as the team's leader. Given Songbird's history with Hawkeye, as well as her last appearance being in Zub's hands, there is a good chance that she could appear again to help out the new team.
Florencia Sofen does an amazing job with her Songbird cosplay. She helps bring this obscure comic book character to light, helping familiarize fans with her as the comics prepare for its newest version of the Thunderbolts, and the MCU seemingly builds its own iteration. Hopefully, Songbird will be given her due.
