When Stranger Things 2 landed I wrote about how the next seasons of the show could turn into an X-Men-style team up with mindbender Kali joining the crew, but we don’t have to wait to see that idea in action. Artist Boss Logic is way ahead of us with a batch of X-Men meets Stranger Things fan art. He has given everyone on the series superpowers matching those of Marvel‘s mutants.
The phenomenal splash page renderings merge the kids from Stranger Things with the core X-Men team. Obviously, Eleven with her intense psychic powers is Dark Phoenix.
The artwork is stunning, and there’s a certain logic to the character combos. Sheriff Hopper as Sabretooth is clever (and eyebrow-tastic), Dustin as a goofy Beast is great, but the smartest match-up is bookish badass Nancy with Rogue.
Boss Logic also drew Charlie Heaton as a more classic Cannonball, since he’s looking a bit different for the role in the horror-tinged New Mutants.
See more of the X-Men art in the gallery below. If Boss Logic makes more, I’d love to see Dr. Brenner as Professor X and Mrs. Byers as Dazzler, just for the lights.
Which one would you tack up on your wall? Let us know in the comments.
