Childhood heroine characters can now be viewed in a sultry way in these new [pin-up style superheroes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains) feature. From Superwoman to Posion Ivy, each [heroine and villain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-2) from iconic comic books over the ages have become pin-up characters inspired by the 1950s art movement. The pin-up art is designed by deviantART user kit-kit-kit, who exemplifies a vast amount of talent.

The [comic book characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alterego-the-official-comic) are revamped into more voluptuous, eye-catching creations of their former selves. The women in these photos exude a certain amount of womanized appeal, creating a captivating visual. Each piece of art still continues to withhold a comic book flair, as the graphic novel characters pose in tempestuous positions. The art series is a fun interpretation of the beloved characters who were either loved or hated.
