Dragon Ball’s Z Warriors and Marvel’s X-Men are two legendary groups of heroes that each stand out in their own universe. Both groups transcend the pages of comic books and anime episodes, embodying the values of unity, sacrifice and heroism. Facing intergalactic enemies or fighting mutant intolerance, these groups captured the imagination of millions, leaving an indelible impact on pop culture and proving that the greatness of a hero goes beyond their powers, capturing the essence of what it means to be truly a hero. For this reason, we loved the following fanart, which depicts the Z Warriors as the X-Men.
