There are countless impressive One-Punch Man cosplays, making it difficult to choose which ones stand out the most. However, Russia’s very own Gesha Petrovich delivers an exceptional portrayal of Genos that easily takes the spotlight.
Cosplayers who go the extra mile to incorporate lighting effects into their costumes always deserve recognition. The process is no simple feat, yet the results are always exciting to witness.
Beyond the glowing elements, Petrovich also nails Genos’ signature stern and detached expression. Whether he achieved the look on his cheek through makeup or digital editing, the outcome is undeniably impressive.

Few characters embody perseverance quite like Mumen Rider. While he may not rank among the strongest heroes in the series, his unwavering dedication to protecting others makes him truly admirable.
It’s refreshing to see him being well-represented in the cosplay world, particularly by someone known for crafting costumes that appear strikingly authentic.
California-based cosplayer Luc Luzzo is recognized for his ability to bring superheroes to life with jaw-dropping accuracy.
His portfolio includes Spider-Man, The Flash, Captain Marvel, Nightwing, Deadpool, Green Lantern, and characters from My Hero Academia like Bakugo and Deku—just to name a few.
4. Silverfang (Bang)
When it comes to muscular characters, it’s always more convincing when they are brought to life by cosplayers with a similarly built physique.
Since Bang is supposed to be 81 years old, @MizunoHadouken relied on skillful makeup application to replicate the aged appearance.
His attention to detail, from Bang’s exaggerated wig to his thick eyebrows and mustache, makes the cosplay particularly entertaining to see.
Capturing stunning cosplay moments is something photographer DTJAAAAM excels at, but equal credit must be given to Twitter user @MizunoHadouken for his incredible portrayal of Silverfang.
3. Atomic Samurai by ButT
A South Korean cosplayer known as ButT has put together an Atomic Samurai cosplay that looks absolutely stunning. Her resemblance to what a real samurai might have looked like is striking, and for anyone who has seen even a single classic samurai film, her facial expression is spot on.
Finding detailed information about her has been challenging, but it appears that she goes by the nickname ButT in the cosplay community.
Apart from Atomic Samurai, she has also portrayed Mitsui from Slam Dunk, Klaus Von Reinherz from Blood Blockade Battlefront, Daichi Sawamura from Haikyuu!, Thor, and even Bane from DC Comics.
2. Genos by Reika
Among the most impressive portrayals of Genos is the one crafted by Japanese cosplayer Reika. The glowing elements undoubtedly add to the effect, and the wig is styled flawlessly.
However, what truly sets this cosplay apart is her face—she bears an uncanny resemblance to the character. It almost feels like she was destined to bring male characters to life through cosplay.
A quick glance at her social media profiles reveals equally astonishing cosplays, including her portrayal of Todoroki from My Hero Academia.
Her dedication to cosplaying male characters has even led to confusion among fans, with some openly questioning her gender in the comment sections of her posts. That alone speaks to how convincingly she embodies her characters.
1. Terrible Tornado (Tatsumaki) by Eki Holic
When it comes to Tatsumaki cosplays, South Korean cosplayer Eki Holic delivers one of the finest renditions, second only to Misa Chiang’s version.
A look at her Facebook and Instagram pages reveals an extensive collection of breathtaking cosplays, each one so well-executed that it feels as if the characters have stepped straight out of their respective worlds.
Her striking beauty undoubtedly plays a role in her ability to pull off various characters effortlessly. With looks that could rival those of a Korean pop idol, she brings her favorite characters to life in a way that makes them even more mesmerizing.
