Take one iconic villain from the '70s and another from the '80s, mash them together and you'll get the epic Ryan Renders' Skevader sculpture.
Skevader is what you would get if Darth Vader and He-Man's arch nemesis Skeletor had an offspring together. Surprisingly, the sculpture started off as a simple replica helmet of the former for Halloweencostumes.com, until Renders decided to put this masterpiece together. Elements of Darth Vader and Skeletor were carefully chosen to balance out the looks of both villains. From the helmet, colors and body armor with the Empire logo embedded into it, it's clear that this is a winner. The best part is that the piece will be auctioned off for charity.
Quite frankly if this fellow exists, the world's in a whole lot of trouble unless He-Man and Luke Skywalker decided to procreate an epic hero.
