# Vyper face

Vyper face is a reaction image taken from a Deadlock fancomic drawn by Twitter user Epic_Edster in August 2026, showing the game character Vyper with an exaggerated expression. The source post reached 15,000 likes in three months, and by October 2026 Valve itself was slotting the face into official GameSoundCon presentation slides.

## Origin
Epic_Edster published the original Deadlock fancomic page on X on August 20, 2026[1]. The composition was directly modeled on a 2024 Jujutsu Kaisen fancomic by PandtraYamus, which carried the same exaggerated close-up and page beats[2]. Vyper is a character Valve created for Deadlock, so the meme itself was made by the fan artist rather than the developer; Epic_Edster drew the panel that fans later isolated as a standalone reaction[5].

- **Platform:** Twitter / X (viral spread)
- **Creator:** Epic_Edster
- **Date:** 2026

## Overview
The source panel captures Vyper, an assassin character from Valve's hero shooter Deadlock, mid-expression with wide eyes and parted lips[1]. Readers isolated the single frame and recirculated it on its own as a reaction to absurd posts or shock moments on X. The joke works because the drawing belongs to a fancomic page that already carries a punchline structure copied from a Jujutsu Kaisen fan panel by artist PandtraYamus[2].

Alternate names include Vyper meme face and simply Vyper meme, used interchangeably across replies and quote tweets[5]. Epic_Edster leaned back into the same expression across later Deadlock scenarios, giving the face a small catalog of official in-character variants to quote[6][7].
