If it was a parody, it would be okay. However, since you're doing it to make money, it probably might not fall under the classification of parody under the exceptions carved out under US copyright law.
Even 'fan art' is not legal (although copyright owners rarely go after these cuz most are noncommercial in nature) since they fall under the DERIVATIVE WORKS section of the copyright law.
