Ever wondered how some of our beloved popular characters have evolved over time?
With each passing year, many things change, and characters of popular culture do, too, get their characteristics modified from time to time.
With that drawing idea in mind, an artist from Los Angeles - Jeff Victor - has depicted exactly that - evolutions of the most iconic pop culture characters from their earliest concepts to how you may recognize them today. The cartoon drawings are truly pleasing and unique, putting all that creative work behind infamous characters into a new perspective.
But, please, by all means, scroll down and see the character designs for yourself!

Thor
Princess Leia
Might also be a reference to the scene in The Last Jedi, where she uses the Force to pull herself back into the ship from the vaccuum of space.

"Well if it isn't Captain America." "But it is me." "No, it's an expression.." "Your nazi tricks won't work on me."
Jeff Goldblum
The Jurassic Park one had a statue in the UK a little while ago, not sure if it's still there.
Captain America
I love the evolution. I have a problem with heroes too perfect, too clean. I 'd rather when they have flaws, that way they are more humans.
Cap is under rated. I wish I could say more about a character I have come to idolize but it can be...difficult to find happiness. Inadvertently robbing someone of even the minor joy of a movie plot by virtue of potential spoiler is not something I wish to do. So I'll just share this Cap quote from the comic: "Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move."
God Of Mischief Himself: Loki
I didn't notice that his clothes/behavior matches Slytherin

1985 was not a good year. Or maybe it was the best year. Hard to say.
Luke Skywalker
Even though the movie they are from is dividing fans, we can all agree on one thing, that porgs are freaking adorable.

'One day I was walking and I found this big log Then I rolled the log over and underneath Was a tiny little stick And I was like, "That log had a child!" Listen boy'
The last one should have been a pile of his robes on a flat stone with porgs around it. Helps that they all look sad.
Iron Man
But there's only one where he isn't wearing it. He has it on in all the others.
Load More Replies...Iron Man, Iron man, does whatever, an iron can. Does he rust? Yes he does. And once he watched me, turn to dust.
Incredible Hulk
Still wouldn't want to mess with him. Looks like a dangerous smile
Load More Replies...Hulk was always meant to be gray but at the time it caused a lot of coloring issues so they changed it to green and it sticked
Load More Replies...Deadpool
Well, technically, he was cut in half and have his legs growing back. And I don't think he bother wearing underwears ;p
Load More Replies...Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
The man with the most spectacular guy-boobs.......... after Terry Crews, that is.
WAIT WAIT WAIt.... WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO KNOW THAT HE VOICED MAUI?!
Samuel L Jackson
Greedo
Well we technically saw a kid version of Greedo in the Phantom Menace: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/ce/WaldKittsterCringe-TPM.png/revision/latest?cb=20130120034650
Wonder Woman
Who spend a part of her childhood turning on herself behind trees, hoping she would turn quickly enough to change herself into Wonder Woman? (beside me of course)
i would always just randomly start spinning going "doo doo doo" like the wonder woman transforming music
Womder Woman, kicking guys' asses since she had beautiful blue eyes.
The inventor of Wonder Woman and her MAGIC LASSO invented the polygraph (lie detector)
Spider-Man
How to be an a*s: Further into 2018: ya gotta put nothin', cuz "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good."
Bill Murray
I almost forgot that Fantastic Mr. Fox (that's a badger, btw) and Zombieland were both from 2009.
Load More Replies...Poison Ivy
She technically is because when she kisses men she kills them and lures them in and controls them with pheromones so in a less literal way she is a man-eater.
Load More Replies...I was going to say the cycle of life and death mini series from 2016 but not sure.
Load More Replies...Joker
Loved to see that instead of shaving the 'tash, the actor just cover it in make up.
Load More Replies...Pennywise
John Goodman
Michael Jackson
It's impressive how being repetedly told you're ugly, you end up believeing it... and in his case, end up mutilating himself.
Load More Replies...From black to white..... here's a clear example of 'not accepting you own self'.
I thought I read something on Bored Panda that said it was possible he could have had vitiligo. Maybe he had an extreme case?
Load More Replies...1987 was my favourite year for him. He looks awesome and he rocked in Remember the Time.
Batman
We grew up watching the TV show, with Adam West. We never missed an episode.
Must be all those dead sidekicks and live criminals he refuses to kill.
Load More Replies...Wrong bat symbol on the ‘89 version! And that makes it look soooo much better
All Batman characters including himself in this one are wayyyyy better than the others on 1992!
Catwoman
Simon Pegg
Aw man 2013, loved the movie but forgot the name! Tried to show it and rented a Seth Rogan monstrocity instead. Simon Pegg is just awesome though.
If I'm not mistaken it's "The Worlds End" and I totally agree! He's one of my favourite actors :]
Load More Replies...Andy Serkis
Back To The Future
Han Solo
Harley Quinn
Raphael
I prefer the 1987 version. It reminds me of when my son played with the toys. We went to one of the movies together. It's a good memory.
the new version of the Ninja Turtles is so bad, I couldn't even make it through five minutes of the first episode. The 2012 version was my favorite (WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE CANCELLED??)
Does the 1987 version remind anyone else of Yoshi or is it just me?
Predator
Michael Rooker
Never thought Jeff Victor would interpret Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (one of the most traumatic films I've ever seen).
Nicolas Cage
Not really great for illustration purposes but Nic Cage in "Matchstick Men". So good!
Superman
Jean Grey
Jason
Captain Marvel
It's all of the heroes who took the name. Billy Batson, Mar-vell, etc.
Load More Replies...They are not the same person at all. The First guy is Shazam aka Captain Marvel - DC Comics and from the third its Marvel comics - Captain Marvel.
Well this one makes no sense. This represents the Captains from both Marvel and DC Comics.
There are two different Captain Marvels, the male is DC and the female is Marvel
Technically there were two different characters, three even. One was owned by marvel and got their powers from a skrull, and the other was owned by DC and got his powers from the greek gods.
That's the wrong captain marvel to start with. That is the DC's captain marvel (now called shazam) for the 1939 one
Skeletor
Venom
Not to be THAT person but, and downvote if you like, BUT this drawing of the 2018 Venom looks like vore...
Batgirl/Batwoman
Because you always have to take a selfie in the middle of fighting crime.
Robin
buns ketchup pickle cheese put that patty in between, its burger, what-what, its burger!!!!!!!
Load More Replies...Xenomorph
Leonardo
Mr.freeze
*Austrian accent* "Allow me to break the ice. My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it's the chilling sound of your doom."
Green Lantern
Technically there are many Green Lanterns. There was never one singular one--although for years I used to think Hal Jordan was the only one and that for the animated Justice League series, they made him black in order to be more ethical minded--not knowing that this was actually another Green Lantern entirely.
John Stewart is African America, Hal Jordan American. Did you know that Hal Jordan is referenced in the CW’s Arrowverse?
Load More Replies...I see that when Deadpool went back in time, he really was able to delete the 2011 version from the timeline. How come the 2009 (from X-Men origins: Wolverine) Deadpool survived? (see above)
Hal Jordan, John Stewar, Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz. All were good green lanterns.
Kyle Rayner is waaaay better than Guy Gardner. :P
Load More Replies...thats Jessica Cruz. She takes over for Hal, i think
Load More Replies...HUH?! The latest Green Lantern is a woman now? I totally missed this!
But wolverine has been the same guy since the 1700s
Load More Replies...I would love to see a Bowie evolution from 1966 onward. That might be a 15-panel one, though!
I have questions about skeletor in 2014. What is movie called and where can I get it?
Some of the character development took place in the comics, not the movies
