Yes. It is copyright infringement and you can get sued for all profits plus a fine for theft. How about inventing your own original character? Plenty of room for new characters...it might be the new X-men!

Yes, it is illegal to draw trademarked characters and sell them without permission from the trademark owner. This would be considered a violation of intellectual property rights and could result in legal action being taken against you.

If you own a trademarked item, you can sell it. However, you cannot make a trademarked item without permission of the trademark owner. Usually that is licensed and the primary source of income. An example would be the logo of a professional sports team.
