French digital art and self-professed ‘eclectic graphical gamer’ Grégoire Guillemin has a loud and wonderful pop art series, Secret Hero Life, where he depicts the secret lives of superheroes (bizarrely, Snow White is in the mix too) engaging in everyday human experiences such as making out, popping zits and smoking.

Warning: once you watch this video, you’ll never be able to look at Spiderman the same way again. The folks at Animation Domination High Def want the world to know what Spiderman would actually be like if he had scientifically-accurate spider traits. You probably wouldn’t want this guy fighting crime in your town.

The ever-prolific Olly Moss, who has done too many cool projects — like the Star Wars poster and these fantastic silhouettes — also claims to be on a ‘continuing quest to ruin super heroes for everyone’. There are only two in the series so far, but the English graphic designer has already ruined Spidey for us. Though the other one of Wolverine (or is it really… Batman?) is pretty clever too. He’s very good at this.

Take Marvel and DC’s best-known superheroes, dress them in two stark toned colors and chop them out into bold stencil styles, and you have these iconic posters from Australian designer MozCreative. Coming in a range of styles, dictated by the superhero’s signature colors and characteristics, the posters are as brash and confident as their subjects, and are a must-have for any dark comic book fanatic.

From kites to model aircraft, we fly all manners of things for fun. So it seems only natural that someone had to go ahead and actually make a human-sized flying superhero. Uh huh, he’s all of 78” tall in height and stretches out to a wingspan of 47”. His flying style is ‘stable yet aerobatic’. He’s got a boring name though (RcSuperhero), but hey, it’s still pretty amazing. Even if you live in a pretty safe spot on Earth, you definitely need a superhero in your neighbourhood — though you’ll probably have to worry about how to crash-land one without collateral damage. We’ll leave you to that.

Ukraine-based graphic designer, WhiteRave, created these neon minimalistic superhero posters. The characters represented are easily recognizable because their symbol and mask are outlined in a luminescent stroke. These posters are vivid, eye-catching, and original.

With all of the superhero movies coming out this Summer, I think this poster series by Poland-based designer Alex Litovka is keeping right up with the trends. Each poster is of a cityscape with a superhero in the shape of that superhero’s logo. The minimalistic design and recognizable imagery tell a clear and concise story of each of these six characters.

With The Avengers getting everyone in hyperventilating fanboy and fangirl mode of late, it’s worth a reality check to revisit comic strips from the 40s to the last decade and look at the useless superpowers that superheroes have. We imagine the cosmetic surgery industry would take a huge interest in Spiderman’s chest expansion powers.

Heading over to Metropolis for a vacation to check out Superman’s stomping ground isn’t quite feasible yet, and the shuttle to Gotham City hasn’t yet commenced. But you can get these vintage travel posters for your wall. Dave Ault’s illustrations, covering Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and more DC Comics heroes, give you a minimalist mid-century travel feel.

Some people consider comic books a form of art. Mike Esparza clearly did all of them proud with his work on Picasso Superheroes, which depict them in the form of Picasso’s world-renowned artistic style. In other words, incoherent combinations of awesomeness.

Photographer Gregg Segal unravels the notion of infinite cosmic power by capturing superhero impersonators in their mighty costumes as they go about wearisome household chores.

He explains that his work aims to highlight the stark contrast between the fantastic and the mundane, and how the superheroes are unmasked by the monotony of routine chores. I don’t know about you, but this man has successfully destroyed my childhood. I am now aware that Wonder Woman sweeps up dry leaves, just like I do.

Ever want to know what your favorite superhero is really like? Ever wondered what was going on in the head of one of your childhood cartoons? The truth is that they think of random stupidity, just like everyone else. The Munchausen Affect has given you a passage to those intimate, personal, and downright silly thoughts.

Some very clever work by Malaysian artist Chow Hon Lam, whose illustrations give voice to the animal and superheroes of this world (or another world, perhaps?!) who otherwise remain muted.

KoldcastTV ran a post recently on the twenty-three nerdiest Superheroes: ‘Superheroes, even the ones from other planets, represent the best aspects of humanity. They are the strongest, the fastest, and the smartest in their fictional worlds, and they often have powers that us normal folk can only dream of. So it’s no surprise that the nerds among us often aspire to be like these powerful characters. But for some, it goes beyond a simple affinity. Many nerds take their superhero worship to the extreme, crafting intricate costumes to complete their fantasy worlds’. Indeed.

When I was a kid, I collected Archie comics. Yup, those cheery, wondrous excursions into surburban, middle-America. For someone growing up around the somewhat tame beaches of Sydney, Australia, this window into the girl vs boy fixation of American teenagers — as reflected in the bright eyed adventures of Archie and his crew — bordered on the obsessive. I had garbage bags of them, comic book after comic book piled up and dog eared from repeated reading. Oh, and I had a crush on Betty. But that’s another story altogether. This documentary, Confessions of a Superhero, which chronicles the day to day existence of four faux superheroes panhandling on Hollywood Boulevard, makes me feel a whole lot better about that traumatic day at age sixteen when, convinced I had finally outgrown them, I packed up my entire collection of Archie comics and sold it to a kid down the street. Sigh. I still recall the sense of loss that enveloped me as I handed the bags over in exchange for $50 and a thick wad of football cards. But now I’m grateful for that moment of belated epiphany. Afterall, I could’ve easily ended up sporting a red wig, op shop clothes and flogging fake smiles and hugs on LA’s tackiest strip.

I’ve always liked the thought of a ‘peoples choice’ award. It means that the masses love you and that’s what counts right? That and winning something. Lucky Ben Newman received the People’s Choice Award at the Bristol Art Show in 2006. You can see why his work appeals — his bold graphic lines and creatures inspired by superheroes and rope swings are strong and instantly recognizable.
