Superheroes and villains are supposed to be several things -- perhaps most notably, they are required to be intimidating and fearless -- but these Ivan Camelo illustrations demonstrate that that is not always the case.

These drawings of [Marvel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains) and DC Superheros are too cute to pass up. Sure, [Batman completely loses his badass factor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection) looking like that, and Superman just doesn't appear to be capable of saving the world while looking cute as a button, but who really cares?

Wonder Woman and Catwoman are definitely my favorites of the Ivan Camelo illustrations. The ladies of the superhero world look so precious and innocent that while I wouldn't trust these characters with the responsibility of saving my life, they're just so darling to look at, I don't even mind.
