Freelance artist, Nate Hallinan, has re-imagined members of the X-Men in a Medieval fantasy setting.
"This is a personal fan-fiction variation on the X-Men. I thought it
would be a fun exercise to do the X-Men in an alternate medieval/fantasy
reality. Prejudice and discrimination were rampant in our history.
Being a darker and less civilized time, fear and hatred ran deeper
making it an interesting setting for the X-Men. The task to protect and
defend the ‘gifted’ would be near insurmountable. I’ve created short
background stories for each character and I will be posting those along
with the final images."
"Lord Charles Xavier is
the leader and founder of The Order of X. Charles developed the
abilities to read, control, and influence human minds. He formed The
Order because he saw and felt the injustice happening to the 'gifted'
people around him. Understanding his role he felt that it was his noble
duty to protect these people.
Tragically, Charles was mortally wounded in an encounter with a
black dragon as a young adult. Before the dragon could kill Xavier and
his soldiers, Xavier forced his mind onto the Dragon's. Not only did
this stop the dragon but Xavier was able to tame it. This was the first
time in history that a man was able to gain obedience over a dragon."
