Dragon Ball Super might have ended its Japanese and English Sub run, but that doesn't mean the effects of that finale have faded. Indeed, sine the Tournament of Power and "Universal Survival Arc" came to a close last month (at the time of writing this), we've seen a substantial uptick in the amount of Dragon Ball fan art that has hit the Interwebs.

In honor of Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War in theaters this week, we have a new gallery of artwork that offers a very special take on Dragon Ball Super that Marvel fans will surely love! The artwork is by "Nesquik28" over at DeviantART, and basically imagines what the characters of Dragon Ball Super would look like, if they existed in the US comic book industry, instead of Akira Toriyama's manga.

Check the lineup of images in the gallery, below:

Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku

It's the classic, but it definitely looks like a classic comic book hero power moment in this pic!

Jiren

This image of Jiren nails the fine line between the enigmatic Universe 11 warrior's status, which straddled the hero/villain line for most of the ToP.

Universe 6's top fighter/assassin looks ten times more badass in his American comic book form. Like an X-Men villain in the Dragon Ball Universe!

Bardock

This image is an homage to Goku's daddy, Bardock. Entitled "Sacrifice", the piece is meant to convey the hard life of Bardock, which created the epic legacy of Son Goku!

Majin Uub

And finally, the one print that probably wasn't worth the effort - but is nonetheless cool - is this pic of "Uub," the human reincarnate of Majin Buu, who was last seen in that famous final epilogue flash-forward in the Dragon Ball Z finale.
