ComicsAlliance’s gender-swapped collection of fan art depicts sexy super-heroes that are known to be male. It’s slightly more creative than making a ‘Batgirl’ character, as it's taking on all the characteristics and the identity of the male characters.
At first it may be difficult to tell that what their male counterparts are as you go through the ComicsAlliance gallery, but if you look closely enough (which can’t be hard) there are unmistakable details that solely belong to that male superhero. The ComicsAlliance ‘Hellboy’ and ‘He-Man’ gender reversal was done particularly well.
