Ravager: Rose Wilson’s Return Gets Teased in Variant Cover for Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #3
Patridge’s variant cover provides a waist-up view of Rose’s shieldmaiden redesign, featuring charcoal chest armor that combines plate and chain mail. She wears her signature orange and black Ravager mask—reminiscent of her father’s Deathstroke mask—but with the twist of it being crafted from metal and adorned with moose antlers, adding a fantastical touch suited to this Elseworlds setting. Rose’s long white hair is styled in braids adorned with rings and beads, reflecting Viking tradition. Notably, she sports a facial tattoo—a solid black line from the top of her lower lip to her chin—enhancing her fierce appearance.
This redesign is undeniably badass. Rose Wilson’s facial tattoo and long, white braids adorned with rings and beads make it one of her coolest character designs yet, perfect for cosplay. While the helm and armor are crucial, it’s the hair and facial tattoo that truly make this look stand out and enjoyable to recreate. Crafting wigs is often overlooked in cosplay, but for fans willing to invest time, money, and effort, recreating Rose’s braided hairstyle will undoubtedly be a standout feature that has the potential to be head-canonized by fans as Ravager's typical appearance.
