Think about all the fictional cartoon characters we have seen while growing up: Ariel, Snow White or if you are a comics fan, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Batman, etc. We have seen these characters while we grew up, we saw them evolve, change, grow but we never saw them age.
Today we have Lesya Guseva, a Perm-based Russian artist who just solved this problem by reimagining our favourite characters in their later years. She created a series called “Pensioners” in which she drew what she felt these characters would look like and would be doing in their older age.
Let’s take a look:
What would an old Barry Allen aka The Flash be doing in his old age? Being the fastest man on the planet he’s be trolling the nurses at the hospital or old age homes he’s in. Just because he’d in a wheelchair doesn’t mean can’t use the speed force. In a cool track suit with his signature mask, Barry looks like he’s having fun.

This is something I could never have thought of, Captain America and Snow White? I’m not sure if they’re romantically involved but they do make a cute couple. Even at this age Steve Rogers hasn’t forgotten his roots and is always a gentleman even in the pouring rain.

What would Kara Zor-El and Princess Diana be doing in their later years? Did you picture them sitting with their grandchildren and telling them about their herotic adventures or sitting in a park bench feeding birds? Well, it’s the second one for now. Both women have aged gracefully and in clothes that do resemble their iconic outfits. It’s funny to see and aged Wonder Woman with her lasso of truth.

This is a rather funny companionship as the differences between the two characters are vast to say the least. They are practically polar opposites of one another. They both have the power of the cosmos at their fingertips but wow, this image. Can’t even begin to imagine what their arguments would be like.

This is an accurate prediction of Catwoman, an aged Catwoman in a room with the walls full of frames of cats and kittens. It’s funny to see her in her iconic cat outfit and mask but is still a treat. The cake looks delicious and with over 50 candles on it. Missing all her teeth is a funny touch.

Could you’ve imagined anything else? With how Tony Stark is portrayed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe one would think he’d be settled downtown with Pepper Potts but this is a much more accurate description. With a Hugh Hefner style look and actual Playboy bunnies around him, even at this age Tony is still living his life his way.

This one is just straight up hilarious. An older, balder Thor with his son making a birdhouse is an adorable sight but using Mjolnir to hit a nail in that tiny house? He needs to be really careful while doing that. Not to mention the picture of young Loki and Thor in the background.
Here’s Loki, Black Widow and Hulk. It looks like Black Widow and Hulk did get together and now are at a school? Loki does look like a professor and Natasha too, with her huge glasses. The Hulk looks just like his younger counterpart only with white hair. Even at this age, you wouldn’t want to make him angry.

This image is hilarious, Superman and Pocahontas, the most unlikely pair up ever. But regardless they look like they’re having fun dancing. Superman with his cape and red underwear. Even Cute little Meeko is enjoying the music. They look like they’re some kind of cruise.

This is just adorable and sweet. A mother Harley Quinn teaching her daughter cooking. The daughter with her mom’s hairstyle and Harley’s clothes from the recent Suicide Squad movie in the background looks cool. It’s such a Harley Quinn thing that she uses her bat as a roller. Just wondering if that’s the Joker’s daughter?

Either mother or grandmother Ariel seems to have a good time with her kids or grandkids. You can see the kids are having fun while little Sebastian a crab is sleeping and Flounder looks annoyed. Ariel seems to be reading them or just herself a story and telling the kids to keep the noise down a bit.

How can anybody forget the merch with a mouth, Deadpool. With the success of Deadpool 2, one would wonder how or if Deadpool would keep doing his thing in his later years? Yes, yes he would. This hilarious reimagining shows the fourth wall breaker vandalizing an Iron Man poster. It looks like Deadpool brought a loaf of bread and milk on his trip.

Our favorite wall-crawler in his super suite knitting using his own webbing? That is imaginative and cool. Looks like Mary Jane if I’m not mistaken helping her husband and not saying anything about all the cobwebs around the house. Peter looks well in his rocking chair and glass of milk and cookies by his side.

The one, the only, The Clown Prince of Crime. It’s fun to see the Joker put on his iconic makeup even at this stage of his life, not to mention his rivalry with Batman still going strong. The Batman poster on the wall and I think that’s a dart in it is funny. There is a picture of what looks like Harley Quinn’s daughter beside the Batman picture that might confirm that the girl in Harley Quinn’s picture is their daughter.

The best in my opinion and my favourite kept for the last, Batman. Just look at the image, it looks like it was drawn while keeping Adam West in mind. From the picture of the Joker and Batman above the bed with them smiling together, to the Bat signal outside. Bruce sleeping with a Joker doll in his arms and the keys to the Batmobile on the table beside. This image is perfect and how we’d think Batman would be at this age.
