Smoking,covered in dirt and down-and-out - it's not how we pictured a superhero.

But that's exactly how they have been imagined in this amusing photo series that reveals how the good guys could end up after their life fighting crime comes to an end.

Photographer Martin Beck has snapped Captain America, Iron Man and the Green Lantern taking a step back from fighting crime and portrays how they are instead focusing on the struggles of getting through the week.
