Long before women empowerment became mainstream, women, especially in animation, had already been well-represented and given a chance to shine.

A good example of this is Disney Princesses.

Although the common trope is that they are damsels in distress, there are plenty of Disney princesses who did their fair share of saving. Take for example Mulan, who helped save China from the Huns. Then there’s Pocahontas.

In more recent times, we’ve seen Disney princesses such as Vanellope and Elsa take on the role of protectors instead of being protected.

Outside of Disney, there’ve been many instances of women being empowered in other animated media. The X-men, for example, has long had plenty of powerful female characters, such as Storm and Psylocke.

So, it only makes sense to make a mash-up of both franchises, right?

Apparently, that seems to be the case for Marcus Williams, which is why the Atlanta-based illustrator decided to create images depicting Disney princesses with what could be their counterparts (or somewhat) in the X-men franchise.

It’s not all femme fatale, mind you, but the representation is all the same.

Marvel is set to make even bigger moves over the next couple of years, with the launch of Disney Plus and all. Included in their future releases is the all-new “What If…?” series, where Marvel takes fans to various possible scenarios that could have actually happened in the MCU.

What kind of animation style Marvel will use in their new series is still up in the air, but, with its confirmation, fans have already been creating their own takes on the different scenarios.

Case in point, @christ_ave41.

In his take on the “What If…?” series, christ_ave41 chose to create an alternate reality complete in live-action.

Who did he feature? None other than Steve Rogers himself, otherwise known as Captain America. But, in his take, Steve Rogers is not Captain America. Instead, we can see him donning the Iron Man suit.

Now, Steve Rogers donning the Iron Man suit, albeit in his pre-serum self, has already been confirmed. So has been Peggy Carter playing as Captain America in the same alternate reality.

That means that you’re free to feel hyped as to exactly what the future holds for the MCU.

For now though, we’ll just have to settle for fan art like this.

“Earth’s mightiest heroes”

That’s the slogan that Marvel’s main cast of superheroes, the Avengers, have used pretty much since their inception, and for the most part, it has rung true.

Iron-Man, Thor, and Captain America, among others, truly are mighty.

But, have you ever stopped to wonder as to what these heroes would look like if, you know, they were cats and dogs?

Well, one art director did, and the results are damn cute.

Illustrator and art director, Josh Lynch, decided to draw up some of the earth’s mightiest heroes as either a cat or a dog, often out of boredom and sometimes as a commission piece for anyone who requests to have it done for their pets.

Using his creative talents, Lynch turns the mighty and powerful into the cute and cuddly.

Генетика штука серьезная))) Даже если тебе когда-то даровали ноги и принца, не факт, что твои внуки тоже будут ногастыми😂🤷. Вот и приходится Ариэль читать сказки внукам, сидя на полу у ванны, пока их родители на Мальдивы укатили😊 … Кстати, пока рисовала картинку решила пересмотреть мультик. И знаете что?! Оказывается у Русалочки реально было продолжение!! Про её дочь Мелоди. А в 2008году ещё и третья часть вышла, про детство самой Ариэль. Шок – это по-нашему 🙈. Полезла в интернет, проверить может, ещё чо пропустила. И знаете чтоооо?!!!! У "Красавицы и чудовища" – 3 части! У Мулан -2! У Покахонтас -2! У Золушки, матьегозаногу, 3 части!!! Где?? Где я была все эти годы? Видимо на другой планете🤷🤷🤷 Мой мир не будет прежним никогда! Вот только не говорите, что вы все это знали! И, чур, не спойлерить!!!! . Запаслась поп-корном и пошла наверстывать упущенное😂 . . . Решила нарисовать Русалочку в Пенсионерии, чтоб поддержать огромный художественный майский русалочий флешмоб #mermay2018 #пенсионерия
