The closest thing humans have to superpowers is world-class athleticism, but in these Pramod Koshy George illustrations, it is comic book characters that strive to replicate the antics of athletes. Seen here are George’s digital illustrations depicting Marvel Comics’ finest soaring through the air and showcasing acrobatic moves as they dunk on a basketball net. If you thought superheroes couldn’t get any more cooler, you’ll change your mind after looking at these pictures.
What’s special about Pramod Koshy George’s illustrations also is the fact that he references real life crowd-pleasing dunks. For instance, Spider-Man is clearly putting the ball through his legs and gearing up for a one-handed windmill ala Vince Carter in his prime. And Thing from Fantastic Four no doubt took off from the free throw line similar to Michael Jordan’s iconic and show-stopping dunk.
