As if the awesome powers of Iron Man weren't enough for him, Australian illustrator Kode Logic has combined him with various famous figures and heroes is pop culture in a series entitled Iron Mash.
His digital renderings depict the superhero as a completely unstoppable figure with various new qualities such as Darth Vader's dark mask with an evil light-saber to match. What if the machine-like exterior of Iron Man were to be combined with the metallic protruding blades of Wolverine from X-Men or the alien strength of Superman with a dash of Cyclops laser beams?
Visualize all of these impossibly impregnable and awesomely powerful combinations in the Iron Mash series of illustrations by artist and pop culture junkie Kode Logic.
