Top 5 WWE Superstars and their superhero counterparts
Any resemblances?It wouldn't be very out of place to see the world of professional wrestling told in a comic book way, considering the shared similarities.Completely contradictory characters, odd settings, made up powers and completely awesome duels, the similarities are immense, not to mention all the whacky stories. Don't take it the wrong way; I myself am a huge comic book fan, and naturally, I think a lot about wrestling figures who somewhat resemble superheroes or supervillains, and I have managed to compile a list of five of these, and for those of you who aren’t hardcore comic book fans, I will try explaining them as well as I can.Note: Just because Roman Reigns uses a move called the “Superman Punch”, it does not make him anything like Superman.Honourable mentions:John Cena – Superman (not really close)Mister America (his real identity is still a mystery) – Captain AmericaRey Mysterio – Mysterio (A Spider-Man villain)Dean Ambrose – The Joker
#5 CM Punk - Wolverine
Unlike every other entry on this list, this one is mostly just for looks.
And to be more specific, not the actual Wolverine look, but Fox Studios’ Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman in the X-Men movies and his stand-alone movies. And even in terms of CM Punk, this is only the mid-2013 to early-2014 Punk being compared, because that was when he had the famous sideburns.
However, let’s attempt to look past that.
Wolverine is one of the most over-powered Marvel characters in existence. He has the power to regenerate, and at one point regenerated from a single molecule. He virtually cannot die (even though, thanks to the amazing world of comic books, he has died before). Now that is pretty much the same way some fans view CM Punk, and I am not exaggerating.
CM Punk is considered a god by some wrestling fans, and a lot of that is because he really did change wrestling back in 2011, and also because he is simply considered to be a god at everything he does in wrestling, be it talking, playing a role or the wrestling itself, a lot of people take his “Best In The World” gimmick and make it exactly so.
