Summer in Winter: Phoenix Bikini Cosplay!

It’s damn cold here in New England, so what better way to warm things up than with a bikini photo set of Phoenix — a character who can cause suns to explode? Back in 2015 I met the multi-talented and gorgeous Jessica Mercy at a state park in Massachusetts to recreate the classic images of Jean Grey from the 2008 Women of Marvel Swimsuit issue, in which she is in a natural pool surrounded by trees and large boulders.

Jessica designed her own suit, to more closely reflect the Phoenix uniform (and not just be a hot redhead in a bikini). The location was perfect, the day was warm enough to wade into pools in a mountain stream, and below is the gallery of the results.

Once you have checked out this gallery jump over to the genderbent Haikyuu!! beach shoot, the equally genderbent Yang shoot, take a trip back to 2015 and head over to the Swimsuit Ariel shoot, the League of Legends shoot, and the Ryuko, Riven, Lux, Sivir,  Syndra, Jinx, Pharoah Nidalee and Lee Sin, Jubilee, Agent Carter, Lilith, Lady Amalthea, X-Men group, Harley Quinn and Black Widow shoots!

Photo gallery tips: Once the page loads the images, you will see the Forward and Back navigation arrows above the image, in case you want to scroll faster than the preset. And to see the entire gallery as thumbnails, click on the gray four-box square next to the navigation arrows.
