Robot 6
Scott Pilgrim vs. the X-Men [UPDATED]
I’d imagine that for many Robot 6 readers, there are no sweeter five words in the English language than the title of this post. Then allow me to introduce you to this variant version of a new Scott Pilgrim poster from the upcoming SP box set. Drawn by Bryan Lee O’Malley and colored by Rico Renzi (who came up with the idea of this particular version), it popped up on the Tumblr of Oni’s Douglas E. Sherwood the other day and which features Scott and the gang sporting color schemes and power sets that bear a striking resemblance to a certain set of mighty mutants. Envy Adams as Rogue to Scott’s Gambit is an inspired choice, as are Ramona Flowers as Mystique, Knives Chau as Psylocke Jubilee, Gideon Graves as Mister Sinister…aw, who am I kidding, this mashup is a thing of geeky beauty from top to bottom. K.O.!

Knives looks more Jubilee to me. I think Roxy is Psylocke.

Just a friendly heads up— This is actually a piece colored/concieved by Rico Renzi. http://whoisrico.deviantart.com/

Actually, Chase_Stein is right, Knives is clearly Jubilee, and Roxy Richter is Psylocke.

I need this now. Does anyone know when (if?) this will be available?

I just saw the knives and thought Psylocke, but you’re right of course about Knives and Jubilee. Will fix! And will add the credit, Jason. Thanks everyone!

The internet is sure to be ablaze with Wallace Wells as Iceman, sure to be used in Iceman sexuality theories everywhere.

Thank YOU, Rico! And I’m glad Jason pointed you out so I could give you the proper credit for this.
