2 Hugh Jackman - Wolverine
He makes us believe that the wolverine is real.
Definitely #2.. Nearly one? Jackman really expresses the character with not only skill but also grace. Great job.
The first time we see Jackman as Wolverine, Rogue refers to his claws and asks, "Does it hurt? " His response is the entirety of the Wolverine character. "Every time." That's real. That's what distinguishes Jackman as a superhero versus a comic book character. RD Jr., Evans, Stewart, and Sam L are the few that have taken their character portrayals beyond the fantasy of comics and created visceral realities that are not only mesmerizingly extra ordinary, but fantastically relatable. He has played Wolverine for almost 2 decades and his final performance is undoubtedly his best. He is the highlight of the XMen series, a collection of movies that shows the likes of living legends Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. That is a feat worth praising alone. Many have played Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, The Joker, etc. None can claim complete ownership of Wolverine other than Jackman, and I feel none have the ability to take that from him.
<3 just bae
3 Tobey Maguire - Spider Man
Best webhead ever
4 Christian Bale - Batman
He is the best Batman ever his chemistry with Heath ledger was awesome
Best Bruce Wayne/Batman portrayal ever so far
Should be number 1
5 Scarlet Johansson - Black Widow
6 Mark Ruffalo - The Hulk
After 2 terrible portrayals on screen, the hulk finally gets a great actor to play him. Ruffalo nails the Bruce Banner portrayal, a man who has hurt many people and is tired and sick of it.
7 Andrew Garfield - Spider Man
Andrew Russell Garfield is a British-American actor. Born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Epsom, Surrey, Garfield began his career on the UK stage and in television productions.
Andrew Russell Garfield is a British-American actor. Born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Epsom, Surrey, Garfield began his career on the UK stage and in television productions. Andrew Garfield was a lot better as both Spidey and Peter Parker than Tobey Maguire. Come on, people. Also, the love interest in the movies also shaped him into who he was, and I really connected and felt for the relationship between Gwen and Peter in the Marc Webb movies rather than Mary Jane in the Sam Raimi movies. That took up until Spider-Man 2 to get them together. And Mary Jane was STILL annoying! In the first Amazing Spider-Man movie, Peter barely even got to fully asking Gwen out, and she still accepted him. But anyway, just watch the Amazing Spider-Man 1 again and you'll see what I'm talking about. Andrew Garfield did a much better job for reasons beyond just his relationship with Gwen in that movie, too. He is Peter Parker, as well as Spider-Man.
8 Chris Hemsworth - Thor
He is the only on who can play thor
Thors fame belongs to him
9 Chris Evans - Captain America
Christopher Robert Evans is an American actor. Evans is best known for his superhero roles as the Marvel Comics characters Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Human Torch in Fantastic Four.

13 James Marsden - Scott Summers
14 Ben Affleck - Batman
15 Michael Keaton - Batman
Should definitely be above Christian Bale. Where Christian Bale tries too hard to be Batman and does that stupid growling voice, Keaton's performance is more believable and talks like a normal human being. Plus Keaton's Batman is not afraid to kill when necessary. Which by the way I always found that whole "Batman doesn't kill people" business to be quite stupid. When Bale tries to kill someone, let alone fight someone, he always has to make a long speech about good and evil.
16 Patrick Stewart - Professor X
Sir Patrick Stewart is an English actor whose career has included roles on stage, television, and film.
