Who would have thought one of the most beautiful relationships to blossom this year would be between Marvel and hip-hop? Not complaining, just surprised.

This is the third instalment of the comic book giants homage to the greatest, our superheroes of flow.

Round three delivers with superhero re-imaginings of Missy Elliott’s Under Construction, Nas’ Life is Good, Dr. Dre’s Compton, EPMD’s Back in Business and Prodigy and Alchemist’s Albert Einstein.

Dre’s album gets the Black Panther: War Of Wakanda treatment, whilst Missy Elliot works it as Invincible Iron Man. Nas has a Spiderman state of mind for the Renew your Vows cover. EPMD continue to have no chill with an Iron Fists cover while Prodigy & Alchemist stay dope for the Venom re-vamp.

Check out the original covers and their alter-egos in the gallery above.
