TBH, if you ask me who I want to be, I’d always say, I want to be the best version of myself. But if you can do what cosplayer Jonathan Stryker can do, then I’d say, be whoever you can turn yourselves into!
Take a look at this picture here. This is Sterling Archer, a character in a popular American adult cartoon show, Archer.
But wait? Is it? What if I told you that the guy in the above picture actually looks like this!
Crazy, right? Say hello to Jonathan Stryker, cosplayer extraordinaire, geek gamer and an absolute magician who can morph into your favourite fictional character like it’s child’s play!
The Archer look that you see above was not graphics or airbrushing; it was legit make up and some dead ringer costume! As Bruno Mars would say, “Don’t believe me? Just watch!”
Jonathan is an international cosplayer and a regular sight at some major comic conventions. Clearly, we can see why! The man can transform into cartoon characters, Disney princes, anime villains and what not! Wanna see?
Jonathan’s Instagram game is LIT AF! He announces themes for every week, and then dresses up as different characters pertaining to said theme. The results? Mindbogglingly fantastic!
Check it out, why don’t ya?
1. When Jonathan decided to pay tribute to a legendary master of the art, Johnny Depp himself, it just had to be phenomenal, right?
His ‘Mad Hatter’ look definitely had me convinced!
Will the real Edward Scissorhands please stand up?
2. You can laugh at my obsession but once you see him cosplaying as Jared Leto’s Joker from Suicide Squad, guess who’ll be having the last laugh?
3. Hum The Addams Family tune in your head and then look at this picture of Jonathan cosplaying as Gomez Addams! I bet you won’t be able to tell the difference!
4. Dressing up as real folks can probably be easier compared to looking like a full-fledged cartoon character. But no feat seems impossible for Jonathan!
This is so going to evoke some of your childhood’s finest memories!
The evil monkey Mojo Jojo resemblance is so uncanny that even the PowerPuff Girls would be convinced!
The Scooby Gang maintains that there are no such things as ghosts! But hello? Is that really Fred in the picture or a ghost?
Roger, the sassiest alien from American Dad, too makes an appearance! Isn’t this transformation completely out of the world (pun intended)?
Hey there, Squidward! You look snarkier than ever and we Spongebob fans love ya!
Creepy Mr. Burns from The Simpsons is in attendance too, I see! Excellent!
Can a cartoon series ever be complete without a Rick and Morty cosplay? Say hello to Jonathan as Rick!
5. If you’re already impressed, wait for it! Jonathan puts his best cosplay forward when he turns into the dreamy Disney princes of your dreams!
If you’ve watched Tangled, then you know Flynn Rider’s real name is Eugene Fitzherbert. But this Flynn Rider’s real name is Jonathan Stryker!
Does Jonathan have a genie in a lamp because how else is this perfect Aladdin cosplay possible without magic?
OMG = Oh My Greek God! Jonathan’s (twelve) labours have paid off and transformed him into Hercules!
And now for a nice little bonus treat: Jonathan can swing himself into the role of a superhero too—your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman!
What sorcery this be!
