Bobby Rubio has drawn up some funny superhero sketches that place the comic book characters in kooky scenarios. Bobby Rubio was once a storyboard artist for the hit television cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender, but is now using his talents for Pixar Animation Studios, making these quick sketches on his spare time.
Some of the superheroes that are featured in Bobby Rubio’s pieces include the X-Men cast, Nightwing, Zatanna and Wonder Woman. One of the quirky renderings that Bobby Rubio has come up with have X-Men characters Cyclops and Gambit doing suspicious things with boxes, paying homage to the infamous Dick in a Box video by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg. That’s definitely a panel you wouldn’t find in a real X-Men graphic novel.
