Superheroes Celebrating Movember

Check out these fun illustrations from James Bousema that show some of our favorite superheroes celebrating No Shave November aka Movember. They all have crazy and manly facial hair. Well, almost all of them. Poor Peter Parker, after all of these years, still can’t grow any facial hair.

We’ve got Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Dr. Manhattan, Hulk, Deadpool, Batman and Spider-Man. Thankfully November is almost over, so these guys can go have a shave and go back to looking normal. I’m sure they will be more than happy to stop itching for awhile. Though they do look pretty badass.

These Avengers-Themed Cereals Are Mischievously Delicious!

Start your morning right with a well balanced breakfast. Okay, these sugary cereals are anything but well balanced, but they are mischievously delicious. Just like with the cereals we grew up with, the artwork and the toys are the best part. I want the Infinity Gauntlet and Thor’s hammer.

Artists Bamboota and Elliot Fernandez certainly know their breakfast cereals. Some of these are available on T-shirts here.

Marvel Teletubbies

Grab some Tubby custard and sit back and enjoy these Marvel Superheroes. In Teletubby form. Captain Winky, Hulksy, Lalarine, and Spiderpo are ready for action. These fun mash-ups come from John Paolo Santos, an artist in Malolos, the Philippines.

These four heroes may just be a new team of Teletubby Avengers. And even though their costumes are instantly recognizable, I bet you still can’t figure out what the heck they are saying. I picture them rubbing their tummies before battle and then dragging the bodies of their foes back to their Tubby-lair. I bet that’s how the custard is made.

Iron Man Gets Mashed Up With Other Iconic Characters

Can’t get enough of Iron Man? Are you so crazy about him that you want to see him merged with Superman, using his heat vision? What about Iron Man as the Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader? Melbourne-based graphic designer Kode Logic has created a series of illustrations called “Iron MaSH!” that shows Iron Man mashed-up with other iconic heroes and villains. The results are spectacular.

It’s as if we are watching Iron Man assimilate other characters with some Borg-like technology so that he can be the ultimate weapon.

Spider-Man and His Amazing Threads Infographic

Spider-Man has been around for decades and over that time he has had many outfits. He changes with the times like anyone else. Halloweencostumes.com has created this infographic to show us all of the costume changes Spidey has undergone through the years. It’s so hard to pick a favorite.

Of course this infographic is not complete. There are several costumes not shown, but it is still fun to have a look at Spidey through the years.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past VFX Breakdown Featuring Mystique, Magneto And Quicksilver

This stunning VFX breakdown from Digital Domain, who worked on X-Men: Days of Future Past is a must watch. A lot of hard work goes into turning Jennifer Lawrence into Mystique. Sometimes it takes a whole other actor. The video shows the models and effects used for the scenes and much more.

It is amazing just how much work it takes to take the two actors and transform the scene. Oh and all of those amazing details at RFK stadium? That took a lot of work too and it looked great. Also check out Quicksilver’s VFX video. Great stuff. They are both very fascinating to watch.

Map Of Marvel Characters’ Hometowns

This is a fun map created by Movoto, which shows all of the hometowns of major Marvel superheroes and villains. It is a nice bit of marketing, but still, this is some useful information for geeks like us. It should settle a lot of arguments.

It’s nice to know where all of these characters come from. They might even come from your hometown. If so, hopefully you’ll run into them and get an autograph. Yeah, that is NOT likely, since they aren’t real, but it’s fun to dream huh? Spider-Man is real though. I totally believe in him.
