One of the biggest complaints about Joss Whedon's Avengers movies was the fact that Earth's Mightiest Heroes squared off with a huge number of faceless drones in the form of the Chitauri and Ultron's army. It's easy enough to see why the filmmaker went down that route as it gives the team disposable enemies to punch and, in Avengers: Infinity War, we met the Outriders.

Created by the Mad Titan, Thanos, this monstrous group of beasts invaded Wakanda and took the fight to our favourite heroes before Thor arrived and pretty much wiped them out in one go.

According to the concept artists who worked on the film, it was no easy task ensuring that they didn't look like Venom and these alternate designs show a lot of different takes, almost all of which look like a variation of Eddie Brock's "other." We also get to see how they were given a more machine-like feel to avoid any unwanted comparisons which are all really interesting.
