Summary
It’s no secret Marvel Comics is now owned byDisney, with the two companies working together to push theX-Menin new and exciting directions in the comic, animated, and live-action space. Yet for as iconic as the X-Men’s mutant designs are, they’ve never been given a true “Disney-fied” look that would fit in with the visual style seen in the company’s best films, with new fanart doing just that bybringing a staggering number of X-Men into the world of Disney to incredible results!

Every X-Men Imaginable Gets a Disney-Style Makeover In New Fanart Images
Fanart Design by Mark Brooks (@MarkBrooksArt)
Getting improved visual designs with each new era of storytelling — including the currentX-Men: From the Ashesrelaunchin comics — the X-Men usually take two routes when choosing their superhero spandex: wear a unique costume specifically made for them and their powers or become a team player and don a yellow and blue uniform that gives the squad a shared costumed look. But with so many characters making up the X-Men’s corner of the Marvel Universe, not all designs are created equal, withMark Brooks giving dozens of mutants a uniform art style that would make Walt Disney proud.
Seen across four panoramic images along with a few close-ups of a handful of other mutants,Mark’s Disney-fied take on the X-Menis a masterclass in how to accurately replicate Disney’s signature art style while paying homage to the already iconic looks of these characters. Illustrating each hero or villain with softer edges, more active expressions, more vibrant colors, and more fluid poses that look like art cells taken from an already-finished animated film, Mark has drawn more X-Men than can be named here, with the most iconic characters making an appearance along with some deep cuts too.
