Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes
By Mark Lynch
19. Rey Mysterio
You’re looking at what many deem to be the greatest WWE cruiserweight of all time. Rey Mysterio has been defying the odds for decades. He’s never seen as the strongest, but he’s defeated his share of heavyweight opponents throughout this career. In his division, he may not have been the fastest either. However, he’s always found a way to win his matches at every level of his career.
At 45 years old, Rey Mysterio hasn’t lost much of a step. He continues to fly around the ring and excite the crowd. He recently won the United States title in a match no one thought he would win. You could say that his days of championship runs are over, but you never know with Rey Mysterio.
Daredevil
Rey Mysterio could be the Man Without Fear. Both of them are never the strongest in the fight. Yet they find a way to win because they’ve mastered their craft. Rey and Daredevil use their speed and agility to win fights where they’re the underdog.
For Rey, it was when he beat Kevin Nash. A legend who outweighed him by over a hundred pounds. For Daredevil, it’s the “Kingpin” Wilson Fisk. People forget that Daredevil doesn’t have superhuman strength or healing powers. He’s just a man. Their never say quit attitude keeps these two in the hearts of fans in both genres.
