Marvel revealed covers being included in the publisher's cosplay variant program. Cosplaying Marvel fans will bring their favorite characters to life on the cover of 20 different covers, plus a 21st that remains "classified."

"Cosplayers are taking over," says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel in a press release. "Each convention I go to, it seems like there are more and more fans dressing up like their favorite Marvel characters. These homemade, hand-crafted costumes are so elaborate, it looks like they leapt off the comic page. The Cosplay Variant initiative is our way of supporting a community that supports us."

Check out 19 of the announced 20 covers in the gallery below (Not shown: Sam Wilson Captain America #1 Cosplay Variant by Eddie Newsome).

Marvel's cosplay variants ship out in October.
