You show me a kid who has never wanted to be a superhero, and I’ll show you a lying kid. Artist Andy Fairhurst created this series of images featuring silhouettes of child Superheroes and Villains. Amazingly, each picture perfectly encapsulates the mood of the character it portrays. Read on for a gallery!

Andy Fairhurst first posted this gallery on deviantART a little more than a month ago and has been adding to it ever since. Each of the little superhumans nabbed what they could from mom’s kitchen or down by the creek to make their costumes. Fairhurst manages to combine the mightiness of comic book characters with the innocence of children. Without further ado, enjoy all 19 of Fairhurst’s “Superhero Kids”
