Summary
A new customized costume created inDestiny 2by one of its players can turn its wearers into a stunning recreation of The Lizard, a classic Marvel comics supervillain. Before this unofficial appearanceinDestiny 2, The Lizard was a prominent presence as one of Marvel character Spider-Man’s greatest foes, and even played the foil in feature films and major game adaptations.
The popularity of superhero costumes in games with character customization is hardly surprising, considering that superheroes as a medium are heavily driven by establishing iconic and unforgettable character designs. AndDestiny 2, with its array of customizable costumes, armor pieces, and highly stylized clothing types, is ripe for players to put their own twist on their favorite heroes and villains through their custom costumes. Over the years, players have created countless versions of existing comic book and movie characters, withDestiny 2costumes based on iconic characters like Wolverineand more populating the Tower. Even characters like Homelander fromThe Boys, a hero that seems to be a deconstruction of the traditional image of superheroes, have appeared in the ranks of The Last City’s Guardians.
The latest character recreation comes from veteranDestiny 2player iixVanquishxX, who shared a Guardian costume based on The Lizard with the DestinyFashion Reddit community. Using parts made for aWarlock, the costume employs theversatileDestiny 2transmog systemto achieve the look. The costume also won praise for incorporating “combat ready” Warlock Exotic armor, meaning that it can be used by players in a fight as-is, without compromising on combat effectiveness.
Destiny 2 Lizard Costume (Warlock)
TheDestiny 2Lizard costume uses a set of organic-looking parts to properly replicate the humanoid-reptilian fusion of the villain. Key to the costume is the distinctive Rat King’s Crown head armor, which incorporates the shape of a rat skull into its face and cranium. Paired with parts like the Astral Stasis Drake set from the ongoingDestiny 2Dawningevent and the clothing-like Sublime Robes, the costume makes it look like a human wearing mundane office wear has spontaneously mutated into a reptilian monster.
Players heavily complimented iixVanquishxX’s work on the costume, with some hailing it as the “best character recreation” they’d ever seen. A few praised the use of theNecrotic Grip Warlock Exotic armor, allowing the look to support popular subclass builds. Still others had alternative part and shader suggestions, including the Gambit-earned Iridocytes shader that adds an even scalier, more reptilian texture to parts that use it.
