This photo of one devoted cosplayer shows the super hot X-Men character with corpselike and rotting features and it's sure to send boys running to and away from this stunning model.
The Zombie Emma Frost photo is one submission found in the 'Women of Comicbook Cosplay' Tumblr blog, which features various ladies clad in superhero garbs. None of them, however, had the audacity to transform their face into the undead visage you're currently staring at.
