Menacing Alternate Design For Captain America's Venomverse Costume
As you may have heard, Marvel Comics' "Edge of Venomverse" series is giving the Marvel Universe a complete Venom overhaul. A lot of classic Marvel characters are being infused with the Venom Symbiote. So far we've seen X-23 merge with Venom, Gwenpool, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, and even Captain America, which you can see above.
Marvel artist Mike Hawthorne helped in developing the character designs for the "Edge of Venomverse" series and he has released an alternate design for the Venom version of Captain America and it's a lot more menacing looking than the design they ended up using that you can see above.
Hawthorne posted the images with the caption:
"Want a peek behind the scenes? Ok, I'm going to share some of the character design work I did for Marvel's Venomverse event where various Marvel characters get the venom symbiote. First up, Captain America (Captain Venom?). Anyway, enjoy!"
This is a much burlier version and he looks a lot crazier. It's definitely a more wild design and I like it! I think it's better than what they ended up using. That version doesn't look menacing at all. I guess they didn't want to go with the meaning look for Cap, though.
Check out the alternated designs below and tell us what you think! You can find more details on the "Edge of Venomverse" series below the art.
