X-Men Characters On Screen Vs. In The Comics

    An artist turned the X-Men: Apocalypse poster into an illustration and the result is totally awesome.

    Kate Willaert is an artist who creates works inspired by past and present Marvel characters.

    Before the release of X-Men: Apocalyse she decided to do the same with X-Men's uniforms for HalloweenCostumes.com, as they were portrayed on the covers of Empire magazine.

    The magazine covers combine to create a poster featuring most of the main characters from the film.

    The illustrated uniforms were drawn to match the characters' iconic '80s looks:

    The illustrations really show how different the characters look on the screen versus the comics.

    Though some are essentially identical, like Psylocke.

    Clearly, Professor X has spent time with an image consultant.

    And unlike his film equivalent, Magneto in the comics has the silver-haired hunk look down to perfection.

    And let's be 100% honest, the comic book Apocalypse is way scarier.

    But the movie versions of Cyclops and Beast are much, much cooler.

    And Mystique looks badass no matter the version.
