Tniwe brings back Sonya's original design down to the last detail, including her hairstyle, shining white sneakers, bizarre armbands and red lipstick.
While the military-grade warrior received a large number of redesigns and cosmetic costumes over the years, this particular attire is based on her retro 1992 getup. In a picture-perfect Mortal Kombat cosplay, Redditor Tniwe recreated Sonya Blade's iconic look from the original arcade fighting game.

With nearly 30 years of history behind it, the Mortal Kombat series has established a huge variety of playable characters that remain recognizable today. Despite the truly monstrous nature of many series mainstays, Mortal Kombat cosplays have become quite popular among those dedicated to dressing up for a beatdown. A talented cosplayer recently revealed a retro recreation of Sonya Blade, one of the Mortal Kombat franchise's oldest and well-known "kombatants." Since 1992, the brutal fighting game franchise delivered - and continues to deliver - fast-paced action, gory finishing moves and memorable characters to an ever-growing fanbase of gamers.
