Masquerading as popular superheroes, cats drawn by illustrator Jenny Parks have been transformed into crime-fighting heroes. Drawing from both heroes and villains in the Avengers and Batman series, these feline crusaders depict their human counterparts precisely.
While the cats were dressed in miniaturized superhero costumes, they also took on the names of the original heroes. Playboy billionaire philanthropist 'Iron Man' was transformed into the 'Iron Cat' while the patriotic 'Captain America' became 'Captain Catmerica.' The feline 'Incredible Hulk' also took on a morphed name with 'Hulkitty.'
Each of Parks's cats were also drawn with the physical characteristics of their human inspirations. The feline Captain America took on the blue eyes and pale skin of the original Captain while the Hulkitty is enormous and green.
