Marvel’s Hellfire Club Gala Gives Captain America and More Dramatic Makeovers

Captain America, Tony Stark, Cyclops and more Marvel characters are getting new looks in a series of Hellfire Gala variant posters.

Captain America, Emma Frost, Tony Stark and a number of other Marvel Superheroes are all dressing to impress when attending the X-Men’s second annual Hellfire Gala.

In the June 2022 solicitations for Marvel Comics, the publisher unveiled some Hellfire Gala variant covers for Avengers characters, X-Men and plenty of other recognizable faces from the Marvel Universe. The artwork is led by Russell Dauterman, who worked alongside artists Carmen Carnero, Iban Coello, Chris Bachalo, Jen Bartel, Mateus Manhanini, Mahmud Asrar, Miguel Mercado, Meghan Hetrick, InHyuk Lee and Erica D’Urso to elevate Marvel Comics fashion to new heights.

“I’m thrilled to be back designing costumes for the mutants!” Dauterman told Marvel. “And this year we’re expanding to include more of the Marvel Universe — I jumped at the chance to design one of my favorite characters, the Scarlet Witch! I’m lucky to be in such stellar company, surrounded by the other artists working on this project. I’ve been excited every time new art shows up in my inbox, and can’t wait for everyone to see it!”

In June, Marvel Comics will release X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1, a 72-page one-shot by Gerry Duggan, Dauterman, Matteo Lolli, C.F. Villa and Kris Anka. Following last year’s rather eventful Hellfire Gala, X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1 will see the X-Men once again open up the island of Krakoa to the rest of the Marvel Universe for a night of fashion, drama, action and reveals. The plot synopsis reads, “At last year’s gala, mutants changed the face of the solar system, terraforming Mars and claiming it for mutantkind. Do you think you can afford to miss this year’s gala, all contained in this one oversized issue?!”

Marvel previously teased that the second-annual Hellfire Gala would introduce some “radical transformation” to the Marvel Universe. The event will additionally introduce a new X-Men line-up, announce the winner of the X-Men fan vote and see an uninvited guest crash the party and create chaos that not only cracks the foundation of Krakoa, but also plays into Marvel’s upcoming Judgement Day event. “Last summer your host Emma Frost invited you to celebrate Krakoa with some fireworks,” Duggan previously explained to Marvel. “This year, it’s about celebrating mutantdom’s friendship with humanity. Once again, we have a murderer’s row of talent crafting a one-shot with revelations that will chart the biggest stories in the Marvel Universe.”
