5 WWE superstars and their X-Men counterparts

2. Stone Cold as The Wolverine

The Wolverine is one of the most powerful superheroes in the X-Men. He has the ability to regenerate and, simply put, he cannot die. Well, quite similar to him is Stone Cold Steve Austin, who has an aura about him that cannot die among the WWE Universe.

The Texas Rattlesnake is outspoken just like Wolverine is in the comics and movies.

1. CM Punk as Deadpool

Punk= Deadpool — Punk is wrestling's 'merc with a mouth'.

Deadpool is an anti-hero, who does not give a damn about anyone or anything. He is blatantly explicit and doesn't mince his words.

Quite similarly, Punk has been known for not having a filter between his mind and his mouth for his entire career. He simply does not care about what people think of him.

Though some fans may argue that the Straight Edge Superstar resembles Wolverine better, his constant tendency to use puns and sarcasm makes him more like Deadpool. There is always something fun to hear when Punk has hold of the mic.
