My Hero Academia's Dabi is one of the The Most Feared Members of the League of Villains. His Quirk, Blueflame, allows him, as the name suggests, to attack his enemies with blue streams of fire. In addition to his physical strength and Quirk talent, Dabi is virtually immune to physical pain, has incredible resilience, and is a very quiet, reserved person who hides his true emotions.
@iisadorax on Instagram created a Dabi cosplay that looks like almost identical to the appearance of the fire hero in the animedown to the smallest detail. They wear a simple white T-shirt, a long black leather jacket decorated with silver details, and a pair of large black boots.
Silver cuffs encircle his arms, matching the design on his jacket. His hair is black and spiky, matching Dabi's hair after he dyed it to hide his true identity and his naturally white hair. His eyes are turquoise, further completing this cosplayer's accurate transformation into the fire-wielding villain.
Dabi's Tragic Scar Recreated in Cosplay
Purple patches and basic makeup add to Dabi's horrific childhood trauma look
Of course, the aspect of this cosplay that is most effective in transforming @iisadorax into a depiction of the My Hero Academia villain is facial makeup, body makeup and key details on their faces. Purple makeup was used to create dark circles under their eyes with staples attached, as if to fix the skin to their faces. Their lower arms were also covered in identical purple makeup to create the illusion of scarring there. Finally, their necks and chins were also painted to appear to have similar scars, with staples carefully dotted around the edges of the injured areas.
The origin of Dabi's scar is truly tragic and revealed his experiences of childhood abuse and neglect. His father, Endeavor, favored his older brother, Shoto Todoroki, and no matter how much Dabi, formerly known as Toya, tried to impress him, he could never win his father's attention. This abuse caused his Blueflame Quirk to become violent and nearly burned him to death one day when he became extremely distressed. Although he survived, he was in a coma for several years. Dabi lost large portions of his skin due to the fire and these areas had to be replaced with new skin with the help of staplers.
@iisadorax's Dabi cosplay shows off Dabi's cold, aloof personality
They represent not only Dabi's appearance but also his attitude.
It makes sense that Dabi would turn to villainy, considering how cruelly his hero father treated him when he was young. He wants nothing more than to get revenge on Endeavor, so he led down an immoral path by the League of Villains in his quest to make Endeavor pay for his abuse. He is one of the most iconic villains in the series, thanks to his distinctive, memorable design, aloof personality, and his Quirk Blueflame. @iisadorax recreated My Hero Academia villain His scars and staples, his outfit, and his cold, emotionless personality all fit this cosplay perfectly, giving it a creepy Alike with the real world.
