The varied and vibrant roster of characters available in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate really lends itself nicely to fan-made art projects and the like, and this latest effort from Bryan Henry is well worth checking out.
Put together as part of a 'Super Smash Heroes' series, the talented artist has been hard at work over the last few months reimagining every fighter available in the game as a Marvel or DC character. The series started right at the beginning with Mario (who obviously takes the role of Superman) and goes right up to the most recently released fighter Kazuya, who takes on the role of DC's Black Adam.
We'd urge you to head on over to Henry's Instagram or DeviantArt pages to see the complete collection, but we'll share just a few of our favourites for you below.
There's plenty more where this came from, too. Earlier this year, we shared a look at an artist who reimagined Smash characters in Cuphead's style, and who can forget when God of War's art director took a stab at some truly terrific 'realistic' designs?
Thanks to Greatsong for the tip!

Ness as Wiccan is perfect. I do love Wiccan. Terry as The Thing is somewhat terrifying though.
Joker as Joker? No way...
Is that a froggy chair anti-monitor?
@nessisonett I think you mean Terryfying.
@Samuel-Flutter
I had a good laugh seeing Cloud as Terry McGinnis. Piranha Plant as M.O.D.O.K. is also pretty funny.
Jigglypuff as Dazzler is a perfect choice. Kudos to this incredibly nerdy artist.
This is too cool. I’ll be checking them all out after work!
Fox as green lantern is the only good one.
Rosalina as Captain Marvel isn't a great fit - people actually like Rosalina!
Mr. game and watch and Howard the Duck is pretty good
Pikachu isn't Deadpool. I am very sad now.
Really cool! It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort was put into these.
@RupeeClock Froggy chair mech suit, for Villager Luthor.
Insanely creative and cool!
Makes me wish MvC2 was on Switch.
Damn had no idea they were bringing back Amalgam Comics
Pac-Man as the Jay Garrick version of the Flash is a brilliant touch.
Woah, Mr. Game and Watch as Howard Duck? Not what I expected, but fits perfectly. Amazing project.
This artist also drew the Smash roster as famous cartoon characters, I particularly liked Ridley drawn in the style of Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Too bad Kate Allen and Twintelle were never in the Smash series. I think they would have made better stand-ins for Storm.
Kirby as Rogue fits perfectly.

This! Not a particular fan of Lex or Villager, but that combo was definitely a highlight for me. Other “quick” delights (that I didn’t see mentioned), for me:
Dark Samus as Venom
Mewtwo as Magneto
Bowser Jr as Green Goblin
Shiek as Electra
Falco as The Falcon
Mega Man as Cable
Wario as Deadpool
Samus as Iron Man
Diddy as Star Lord
Bulbs says as Groot (can’t unsee that one.!)
Hero as Taskmaster
Lucario as Martian Man-Hunter
Duck (Hunt?) as Cyborg
Ice Climbers as The Wonder Twins
ZSS as Catwoman
Capt Falcon as Flash
Squirtle as Momoa...er, Aquaman
Dedede as The Penguin
Snake as Deadshot
Steve as Dr. Manhattan
Aaaand...Incineroar as Lobo!
So many good ideas and themes tied together...WOW! Kudos to the artist!!
I cannot unsee that one of Peach.
Pretty cool but there might be better combos.
Sonic as the flash
Rosalina and StarGirl
Pikachu as Static
Pichu as Miles Spiderman
Caption Falcon as Caption America
Greninja as Aquaman
Other than that, Spot on. Don't know who already fill those positions I mentioned would get.
