When the robot apocalypse happens, we are going to need superheroes to protect mankind, or what’s left of mankind.

For this little experiment, I used the the AI visual generator MidJourney to help reimagine what today’s popular Marvel superheroes would look like in the future. The future of course, being the dystopian world of cyberpunk, a sub-genre of science fiction that highlights advanced science and urban chaos.

After several prompt technique variations and multiple re-rolls, I started to hone in on the vibe I was looking for. I am happy with the results shown below.

Iron Man
The Scarlet Witch
Captain America
Cyclops
Spiderman
The Hulk
Captain Marvel
Wolverine
Wolverine (variation, because he’s too cool)
Black Panther
Thor
Human Torch
Daredevil
Doctor Strange
The Black Widow
Silver Surfer

Final Thoughts

AI visual generators are getting increasingly better at capturing the aura of expressiveness in a lot of these types of remixes. In this case the combination of two popular cultural trends — character and genre.
