That's a nice bit of fanart...too bad it's not big enough to see more details.

There's some truly inspired choices there*, but some really odd ones, too**.

And I can't actually figure out who Cubert and Head of Nixon are supposed to be.

* Horrible Gelatinous Blob as Blob, Kif as Toad, the Nibblonians (minus Nibbler) as Madrox, the Neptunian as Spiral and HedonismBot as (presumably) Mojo are my favourites, and Mom as Emma is inspired, but still manages to be an anti-favourite.

** Calculon as Iceman, Preacherbot as Deadpool, Robot Devil as Mr Sinister, Roberto as Pyro, and Tinny Tim as Cable stand out.

If you go to the link under the fanart, you can download the full-size version.

Isn't Cubert obviously Cannonball?

I think Nixon's head is supposed to be Juggernaut, but I could be wrong.

[kamino_neko]

Yaha! The fact that Cubert's obviously wearing rocket boots instead of being a rocket threw me.

And I suppose Nixon must be Juggie, but the resemblance isn't pulled off nearly as well as the others - if the artist had coloured part of the arms red, like the bands Juggy wears, and the purple had been skipped on his chest, it would have worked better.

But Fry isn't nearly emo/responsible enough to be Cyclops!
Also, lol to Kwanzaabot and Leela's dad. Zoidberg as Wolverine is truly inspired.

Who's the Victorian-dressed Marvel character?

[espanolbot]

Shadowcat, I think.

The character has 1910s era clothes by default, so I think that they just added shelves and changed the colour.

[ravenous_raven]

Wait, Shadowcat as in Kitty Pryde?

[kagome654]

I think that's the Countess dе la Roca as Shadowcat from this era.

[ravenous_raven]

Ah, ok then. Thanks!

[bj_l]

It's the robot that Bender fell in love with on the Titanic cosplaying Shadowcat. Since Bender is Collossus.

[insectposse]

As a casual fan, why are there two Benders?

[espanolbot]

One is presumably Flexo, Bender's not-evil twin. That or he's so fast he can change between Colossus and Quicksilver costumes so fast no one notices.

[kamino_neko]

Quicksilver's Flexo. You can just see his beard if you look.

Portland, Maine: 500,000 people
Portland, Oregon: 2,200,000 people

I'm going to assume the reference is to Portland, Oregon.

[darklorelei]

Mom as Emma will haunt my nightmares.

[kamino_neko]

At least you don't need to stop her causing another robot rampage...

I love Futurama

[nefrekeptah]

Bender is a very lazy cosplayer.

[tanetris]

There's something about Scruffy as Gambit that I can't put my finger on but just works

[aegof]

haha Momma Frost.

[thanekos]

i have to admit, i would definitely prefer the Imperial Globetrotters

[grazzt]

Favourites are Leela's mom as Callisto, Seymour as Beast, and Robot Santa as a Sentinel.

I don't recognize who Roberto and Mom's sons are supposed to be. And where's Apocalypse?

[long_silence]

Roberto is Pyro and Mom's sons are just random Hellions

[icon_uk]

The sons are Hellions, but they might be patterned after jetstream, since he as a mutant flier with a cybernetic jetpack
