Top 5 'Superhero' gimmicks in professional wrestling

Batman

3. Mr. America

Mr. America

A rip off of Captain America, Mr. America was one of the stupidest gimmicks that were given to Hulk Hogan. It had Hogan’s entrance music and his signature move, with the only difference being in the funny mask he wore. The gimmick came into existence in 2003 when Hogan Was forced to sit out if his contract. To avoid this he debuted as Mr. America and even passed a lie detector to prove that he wasn’t really the Hulk Hogan. Though it was stupid, the cat and mouse game between him and the McMahons was fun to watch and thus became one of the most cult gimmicks of Hogan. The Mr. America character was phased out after Hogan revealed that it was him behind the mask and eventually quitting WWE.
