Not everyone has the time and / or money to purchase / create a real X-Men costume, so Brazilian artist Vo Maria has come up with the next best thing: homemade version composed of everyday things. Continue reading to see three ultra funny examples.

1. Magneto

Are you attending a comic book convention, party, or even contest in the near future and looking for a budget-friendly Magneto costume? If so, look no further than the image above, which lays out all the supplies and tools you need to create your own helmet.
