10 Hilarious Marvel Fan-Art Photos That Would Even Make Thanos Laugh

The success of Marvel’s first decade of media has inspired a lot of fans to do a lot of different things. From cosplay, to fan films, to memes–there’s no shortage of fan-made content in the MCU. It ranges from weird, to sad, to downright hilarious, much of the fan art shared by the Marvel actors themselves.

While fans await the next “phase” of the MCU–starting with Black Widow in May–they can browse plenty of fan-generated content to satiate them in the meantime.

10 Thanos’ Blissful Domestic Life Post-Snap

Post-Infinity War, fans were devastated at the deaths of so many beloved superheroes. It also raised the question: where’s Thanos? Endgame seeks to answer this question, and while everyone in the universe is reeling in trauma, Thanos is…gardening.

This is comical in and of itself, but this picture imagines Thanos’ work cut out for him as he has to sweep up all the dust from all the planets. If the picture’s context is too sad to make you laugh, at least you can glean satisfaction from Thanos’ grimace knowing he has a lot to clean up, including his act.

9 Black Panther’s Brand is Off

Poor Black Panther–he’s trying to take on the mantle of his father’s heroic legacy by donning the suit and saving the people of Wakanda from danger. But this fan re-imagines an introduction scene going wrong: the two bandits refer to Black Panther as “Catman”.

While funny in and of itself, the funniest part of this is the implication that, somehow, the bandits have heard of some hero named Batman and have named Black Panther this misnomer–and they seem quite sure of themselves.

8 Peter Quill’s Rocket Wash

While Thanos had a penchant for gardening, Star Lord and Rocket have found their own domestic hobbies. This comic imagines Chore Day in the Guardians of the Galaxy hangar, and while Quill seems happy to be doing it, Rocket isn’t happy, likely because Quill is using Rocket as a washcloth.

Coincidentally, without seeing any of this, Gamora is pleased to hear the boys are cleaning together–getting along at long last.

7 Miles Just Wants to Make Friends

Miles Morales of Into the Spiderverse fame just wants to make friends with fellow Spider-people. He thought he was the only one for a while, only to befriend Peter B. Parker, Spider-Gwen, Peni Parker, and Spider-Ham, amongst others. Spiderman is his hero. So in this comic, it’s no surprise he sees a fellow Spider-person and wants to meet.

Except this Spider-person is the unhinged and unpredictable Venom, an almost anti-Spiderman of sorts. Father figure Peter Parker grabs Miles and pulls him away, but Miles and his big heart just wants to make friends.

6 A Quick X-Men Selfie

Blockbuster hit X-Men: Days of Future Past nailed the introduction of the beloved mutant Quicksilver. They captured his quick-witted, frenetic, and indefatigable energy to great success. This sweet fan art pictures the yet-fragmented X-Men group as a (mostly) happy family ready for their close-up.

Yet Quicksilver has other plans, his cocky self making sure the camera is facing him instead of the posing X-Men, pulling off yet another prankster scheme.

5 Pet Parents Bursting with Pride

Goose the Flerkin alien posing as a cat had a real breakout role in Captain Marvel last year. What seemed to be an innocuous feline friend turned out to be a forked-tongued extraterrestrial that befriended Captain Marvel. Also out last year was Venom, a movie where a man fights the monstrous, large-tongued creature struggling to burst out of him at any moment.

The artist of this comic portrays the meeting of Carol and Goose with Venom in a somehow grotesquely endearing portrait.

4 Michelle is the Real Hero

This sweet and sassy comic frame depicts Michelle as the real hero of the story, swearing profusely at the Vulture while prodding him to fight her. Canonically, Spiderman is the one with all the witty comebacks, but Tom Holland’s recent portrayal of the masked hero has given Spiderman a sweet, endearing temperament.

Zendaya’s deadpan and fiery Michelle would definitely be the one to run her mouth at a supervillain, forcing Spidey to whisk her away from starting a fight.

3 The Ant-Man Bully

It’s impossible not to love Golden-Retriever-of-a-character Scott Lang (played by the equally charming Paul Rudd). This comic has a quick set-up and immediate punchline: sure, Ant-Man is powerful in nature, but sometimes his size doesn’t make him seem the most powerful.

The infamous trope of the sadistic child burning an ant with a magnifying glass has an extra layer of humor as Scott realizes maybe he’s not as powerful as he thought.

2 Too Much of a Strange Thing

Extreme fans like to draw comparisons between Doctor Strange and Iron Man, as both actors frequently play witty geniuses, such as Sherlock Holmes, and their Marvel characters are equally as quick-witted. Strange’s dry humor and Iron Man’s fast-talking wit clash just a few times in the MCU, but each time delightful.

However, this comic imagines their meetings to be a real headache, as Pepper humorously realizes too late in the conversation.

1 Iron Man’s Caper

It’s generally accepted that there weren’t enough battle of the wits between Strange and Stark in the films, so here’s a comic to fill that need. Strange’s sentient cape famously has some snark of its own, and Stark’s overstepping curiosity prompts it to swaddle him.

To Strange’s delight, this incapacitates Stark, and Strange walks out of the room, leaving his pesky coworker to sort it out on his own.
