Pop Heroes and Villains Transformed in Vintage Family Photos


Is there a better way of addressing your geekiness then transforming superheroes, villains and characters form popular movies into people in family vintage photos? I seriously doubt it. Marvellini brothers find this to be incredibly amusing, and so do I. The best part are massive, ornate and antique frames. They seem to bring the whole composition in ton. If you ever wondered what Batman’s great-great-grandfather looked like, you can find the answer to that question here. We all know superheroes are orphans, but still many are well aware of their origins and you can exclusively have a glance at their ancestors here.

This is probably Wolverine’s grandfather which was an honored World War I veteran. Now we know where does his courage and audacity comes from.

In this picture, you can see what Darth Vader’s great aunt looked like. Rumor has it she was a great heartbreaker. But there was always something dark and mysterious about her beauty.

This is Catwoman’s grandmother. Unlike her granddaughter, she didn’t expose that much, but preferred domestic life.

Here’s one Stormtrooper from the beginning of the twentieth century. At that time, the Imperial Navy wasn’t still sure if they’ll stick with helmet only, or add to it whole body costume.

Obviously, this is Captain America’s grandmother with mask and medallion she latter passed on to her daughter, which unfortunately deceased giving birth to a son, and the only thing she left him were these amulets.

Darth Vader’s (or Anakin Skywalker’s) grandparents. They would be so disappointed if they new their beloved Ani was going to fall to the dark side.
