The only thing that's better than badass cosplay is a badass cosplay that lights up.

Cosplayer Svetlana Quindt (with the help of Instagram user Adafruit) created an amazing cosplay of the StarCraftcharacter Nova (more specifically, a version of Nova found in Heroes of the Storm) complete with LED-enhanced armor and dreadlocks.

Quindt's Nova cosplay was officially completed earlier this week. Some of her earlier photos and videos have been making the rounds on Reddit and Imgur.

The combination of how cool it looks and the inventiveness of the LED accents have made it pretty popular on the internet.
