Wow. Just...wow. Can you say Toriyama inspired (in terms of the outfit)?

Is that something original, or from the "Marvel Mangaverse" a few years back? (
Spidey was a Ninja
)
Either way, it looks cool. And yeah, definitely derived from Vegeta, there.

Wow. That outfit screams Vegeta at the top of its lungs. XD
I can't imagine him with the hair though.
On hiatus.

I dunno, Chuquita. Other than the purple aspect, it seems to have a resemblance to Vegeta's GT hair style. Possibly more Bebi-Vegeta, IMO.

Yeah, I read that comic.
While an interesting idea, Marvel was really trying to just cash in on the "manga craze" which is a shame to me, because their current books are good enough without resorting to the "let's imitate manga" gimmick...
I dunno, this is coming from a 10+ years Marvel Comics fan.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

It was a one-shot, special event kinda thing. It was gone about a year after it debuted. It was pretty good if you ask me.

Wolverine's claws are longer than his arm. Where do they go?

I was gonna say it looks more inspired by Kia Asamiya's stuff than Dragonball.

You know I always though Wolverine's haircut would look good on a Saiyan. I could have sworn in DBGT in one of Bebi's flashbacks an Oozaru had the split hair thing going on.

What's with his right arm? Adamantium not good enough for Wolvie?

Almost every book Marvel puts out now is awful. Something like Marvel Mangaverse drives me up the wall because they can't seem to understand that manga is not a genre, its simply comics published in Japan. It especially bugs me to hear terms like American manga artist. Unless you are creating comics published in Japan you are not a manga artist.

Lady Deathstrike looks like a cross between Sephiroth and Kimimaro from Naruto.

Jerseymilk: "Can I tell you something?"
B-kun: "What?"
Jerseymilk: "I see Fangirls."

I dont know about Kimimaro, but Deathstrike does not resemble Sephiroth. But thats just my opinion.

Hence why I said a cross between the two.

And your opinion just happens to be
WRONG. But that's just my opinion.
And on another note, attempting to give characters like Wolverine (and Superman, ugh) battle armor is just wrong...so very wrong.

Bah, Spider-man is highly overrated, as is anything Marvel.

I would say it's inspired by Vegeta.
Does anyone else think it looks crap though, and not drawn very well?
