Marvel and pop culture artist, BossLogic, has leaped into the butt-controller conversation with new cheeky renders of Xbox controllers. Featuring Mortal Kombat’s ninjas andPikachu, the artist’s joke renders make us actually want them.
Based on the recently announcedDeadpool & Wolverine controllers, BossLogic has shown off his fan designs for some ofMortal Kombat’sgreatest.
BossLogic’s pert controllers are based on Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Smoke. They’re all dripping with humor, with a tactical trail of smoke positioned just over the back of the controller.
Scorpion’s features his iconic spear draped over the curves, while the Sub-Zero one is suitably frozen in place. Reptile’s is oozing his acid spit.

Twitter/X users are thoroughly impressed with the work, but some arequick to point outthe depravity of some of it:
“Not the chain in the cheeks man [skull emoji], lol”.
However, despite the nice theming, we were shocked to see all four followed up with none other than Pikachu.
We’ve never really considered Pikachu’s behind, but the cute tribute reminds us of the original“fat Pikachu”.

The image might have been inspired byanother user respondingto the original Mortal Kombat post:
“Ok, now do Pikachu[‘s] thunder cheeks.”
A couple of hours later, the four renders were followed up with Pikachu’s “thunder cheeks”. However, we suspect theyimagined something closerto the yellow critter’s red cheeks.
We’ve tried our best to recreate the original thought:
