Amber Heard Mercy Cosplay refers to a viral photograph of actress Amber Heard in a cosplay of Overwatch character Mercy, which she wore for Elon Musk, her boyfriend at that time. The photograph was shared by Elon Musk on X in September 2023.

Origin

On September 11th, writer Walter Isaacson released Elon Musk's biography titled Elon Musk. One part of the biography recounts the story of Elon Musk mentioning to Amber Heard, his girlfriend at the time, that she reminds him of Mercy, a blonde female support character from the 2015 video game Overwatch, reportedly Musk's favorite. Amber Heard then spent two months designing and commissioning a head-to-toe costume of Mercy so she could role-play for him (snippet shown below, left).[1][2] The events took place in 2017.

On September 12th, 2023, gaming news X[3] account Dexerto reported on the news, with the post gaining over 8,300 reposts and 105,000 likes in two days (shown below, right).

Musk liked the fact that Heard looked like Overwatch's Mercy, a blonde female support character who sports angelic wings attached to her battle suit and a halo- esque hairpiece. While she was filming Aquaman in Australia in 2017, Musk flew out to see Heard and she greeted him by kissing him on the cheek. "[Musk] told her that she reminded him of Mercy, his favourite character in [...] Overwatch, so she spent two months designing and commissioning a head-to-toe costume so she could role-play for him," Isaacson wrote.

Elon Musk really is the gift that just keeps giving, huh.
Not so much Elon the person, but Elon the figure. The saga that surrounds him. Nonstop font of trashy comedy.
He's like DSP but with better income---Up to and including the lolcow plot armor that ensures everyone who tries to embarrass him comes out worse for it than he does.
