8 Actors Who Have Played Multiple Superheroes

It's hard to imagine now, but can you remember a time when talking racoons and Asgardian gods didn't rule the box office, a time when Robert Downey Jr. wasn't a bankable star and Christopher Reeves was the only Superman worth thinking about?

Amidst all the excitement and hype for Fox’s upcoming Deadpool flick, it’s easy to forget just how terribly the character was treated in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We all know it was bad, but I implore you to watch it again. Seriously. You’ll be surprised at the lengths your brain will go to forget painful events. It’s even worse than you remember. Trust me.

Unfortunately, the same could also be said of Ryan Reynold’s turn in the Green Lantern movie which DC are keen to forget ever existed. Admittedly, Reynolds wasn’t terrible in the role of Hal Jordan, but when armed with a script that forced GL to fight a giant space cloud, what can you do? Let’s just hope the new Deadpool is successful so that we never have to see Reynolds don that horrendous emerald CGI costume ever again. My eyes can only take so much punishment.

Best Role: Deadpool… hopefully.
