Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes
By Mark Lynch
1. The McMahon Family
Vince, Shane, and Stephanie McMahon are diabolical. Whenever you think you have them figured out, they switch up. To them, at the end of the day, they want what’s best for business. The problem is, that phrase means they want what’s best for them. The McMahons (as their wrestling personas) are evil. They’re willing to be dastardly if it means that their chosen one is champion.
The Vince and Austin feud lasted for years. Recently, we saw a battle between Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon. Both of these clashes were good because they put on a show leading up to the match. Stephanie doesn’t have the in-ring skill that her brother does, but she has an enormous presence. She knows how to antagonize a crowd. You can tell she revels every minute of it.
Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor would look at what the McMahons do in the WWE and smile. He would celebrate how they antagonize and mock their opponents. Why? Because he’s done the same.
He is known for being the antagonist most villains look up to. Luthor is a genius, but he has one problem. He’s a bit obsessive. Just like the McMahon family.
Both Luthor and the McMahons have had victory in their grasp only to let it slip due to their hubris. They become consumed with their prey and end up losing them in the end. Superman should have been squashed and Austin should have been defeated. Too bad they always let the win slip away.
