Leave it to Dave Rapoza to take someone as goofy as Mer-Man and make him into something of a badass by giving him the ultra-realism art treatment.

It’s the next step in his Masters of the Universe series. Once he finishes with that, what do you think he should move onto next? I sort of want to vote for the Thundercats, but the results might almost be TOO terrifying.

Check out his other Masters creations below which I believe we’ve featured before, Evil-Lyn, Trapjaw and Skeletor.
