Pop Culture Characters Replace Don Draper In These Mad Men Posters

If you watch Mad Men then you are very familiar with the opening to the show. Etsy seller noodlehug was inspired by the show to create these neat posters, with pop culture characters in place of the Mad Man from the intro. We’ve featured this seller’s work before and I have to say, I really like their stuff.

Now we get to see Darth Vader,Boba Fett, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Loki, Spider-Man and others replace Don Draper in these mashups. I’m thinking that these guys would all make an amazing ad agency. They could call it Draper, Vader and Fett. Or maybe Vader, Fett and Sterling. Something like that.

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.

Superhero Serum Cologne Bottles

Fighting crime is tough work. You might as well smell your best while you are cleaning up the streets or battling mutant monsters from another dimension. This series of conceptual superhero ‘serum’ cologne bottles was created by Charlotte, North Carolina based digital design firm Animink. They look amazing.

These renders are stylish and timeless, much like the comic book heroes that they represent. I’m sure that the scents would also be timeless, if they actually existed. I’m not sure that I want to smell Hulk Rage though. I can only imagine how bad a raging Hulk must smell. I’ll pass on that one.

Polygon Art: Superhero Cars And Other Famous Vehicles

As cool as most Superheroes are, sometimes their vehicles come off as one-dimensional. That isn’t the case with Josh Ln’s polygonal art. Josh has created famous polygonal cars (and other vehicles) that look absolutely out of this world.

Any Superhero would be proud to drive one of his creations. Here we see the Batmobile, the Turtle Van, even the Millennium Falcon and Back To The Future’s DeLorean, all created out of polygons. The end result are amazing rides that equal more than the sum of their parts.

Dual Identity: When One Superhero Is Not Enough For An Actor

This fun infographic shows the dual Superhero identities of actors and which heroes they have played. Do we like to see the same actors over and over again? Are the actors really that good? Are we lazy about casting? Well, I don’t have all of the answers, but I can provide you with this handy infographic from Philippines based artist Carl Corilla.

It lets us know which actors are Superhero greedy. Or maybe they are just awesome actors that rock at playing awesome Superheros. You’ll have to decide for yourself. We have Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Halle Berry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ben Affleck.
