SubscribeNote: Although most of superhero costume designers’ time are seemingly spent focused on the heroes, artist Jeremy Love brandished his considerable talents to redesign Marvel’s Super Skrulls for an undisclosed, cancelled Marvel project. These pieces of concept art show the Skrulls taking on aspects of the Avengers, X-Men and even their long-time enemies the Fantastic Four. Seeing this makes me wish the rumors of Skrulls in the Avengers movie were true! – Chris A.

/ August 27, 2012Awesome. Can he be in Avengers #2 please? Thanks.
Chris Gonzales
/ August 27, 2012Wow these are cool. Seems a shame for them to go to waste like this. Get your shit together, Marvel!
Ren Malone
/ August 27, 2012Marvel still needs to use these for something. They’re all amazing.
Jim Gitman
/ August 27, 2012As a basic concept, a group of Super Skrulls, each member of which represents a team of Marvel heroes, is pretty awesome.
I feel like the armored look ruins these, though. It’s cool for the Avengers, of course, because of Iron Man. And maybe you could cite Colossus for the X-Men. But why would the FF Super Skrull suddenly be wearing heavy armor? He’s already as invulnerable as the Thing. Do you even need to throw fireballs or whatever if you’re already a giant armored monster?
I don’t know…I really like the original Super Skrull, so my bias is probably coloring my opinion.

/ August 27, 2012Wow. WOW. Those are fantastic. (pun probably intended) Each power/character is integrated seamlessly into the design, and I can easily see them being used in a live-action film.

/ August 27, 2012BAD!!!
ASS!!!
Tim
/ August 27, 2012very cool designs!
steve
/ August 27, 2012holy crap those are awesome!

/ August 27, 2012Whoa
John
/ August 27, 2012Those are so freaking awesome, I can’t stand it.

/ August 27, 2012weren’t some of these ideas used in secret invasion?
John Marcotte
/ August 27, 2012The project was the videogame adaptation of The Avengers movie. It should have been a gimmee to make a game based on the film, but the entire project fell apart at some point. There is some demo footage floating around the interwebs if you look long enough.
The Skrull designs are bad-ass, though.
Jack
/ August 27, 2012Absolutely brutal looking… just wow!
Michael
/ August 27, 2012Aren’t these just gussied-up versions of the Super Skrulls from Secret Invasion? I wonder if Marvel Animation was putting together a direct-to-video flick that got cancelled…
Sam
/ August 28, 2012@Jim I think that’s just Skrull armor. Look at the kneecaps of all three and the feet of the bottom two. It looks like they start with a base armor and that is then changed to give them the attributes of Marvel heroes.
Chad
/ August 28, 2012I see four components in the Avengers design: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk. Only three in the FF and X-Men. I suppose the obvious fourth component for FF would be Invisible Woman —which obviously shouldn’t be drawn, but the X-Men’s fourth contribution should either be white hair or an arrow-shaped tail.
All in all, these are brilliant, and makes the mind race with further iterations of the theme.
Dedpool
/ August 28, 2012Those are pretty badass! I’d have played the crap out of this game!!
Itlas
/ August 28, 2012Cancelled project?
I’m sorry but to me they look like totally similar to the skrulls who invaded new york in Secret Invasion

Chris A.
/ August 28, 2012Yes, Itlas, a cancelled project commissioned by Marvel spinning out of that.
Bruce B.
/ August 28, 2012I would like to see this artist interpret the Great Lakes Avengers Super Skrull.
Juan
/ August 28, 2012They also used a variation of these designs on the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon:

/ August 28, 2012People, as was already pointed out, these are for the cancelled video-game that was supposed to tie-in to the movie. Like all adaptations of Marvel properties, they are based on things from the comics. These designs are made-for-video-game adaptations of the Skrull designs from Secret Invasion.
Mario Silva
/ August 29, 2012I’m with Jim on this one, although the renderings are out of this world, Skrulls are shape shifters, wasn’t the tech employed genetic reconfiguration as stated by Reed?
Anyways, change the top one’s face to ant man’s helmet, green tones and you get a perfect super adaptoid. regular chin on the bottom one and it’s mimic the X-MAN.
Where is the skrull shapeshifting or hypno glare?
By the way, seeking new ways to show invisible woman’s powers in a static picture is the door to a bunch of new designs… just saying.
cosmoboy
/ September 4, 2012There’re 4 for the X-men. Wolvy, Cyclops, Colossus and Beast.
Maxered
/ September 5, 2012Great designs!
B
/ September 8, 2012Breath-taking.
Would have made Secret Invasion readable… maybe.
Deathangel7
/ September 13, 2012Wow thats so cool I wish they could put that in Xmen! :)
