Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes
By Mark Lynch
27. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho may be in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) now, but he stamped his legendary status in the WWE long beforehand. For decades, Chris Jericho was talking trash and beating people in WWE rings.
There aren’t many people past or present that can do what he does on the microphone. His antagonistic nature isn’t just when he’s a heel (villain). When he’s a face (hero) he’ll still antagonize his opponents. It throws people off their game and is an advantage Jericho has used on multiple occasions, especially when he became the first Undisputed Champion in the WWF. What makes this special is he did it by beating the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night.
Guy Gardner
Guy Gardner has annoyed his way into the hearts of millions of comic book fans. They love his arrogant ways. It’s loved even more when someone shuts him up. Do yourself a favor and Google, “Batman knock out Guy Gardner.” Either way, Guy is a Green Lantern. An honor only very few Earthers have had.
The Green Lantern Power Ring is powered by willpower. Can you imagine giving that to Chris Jericho? Jericho knows in his heart that he can beat and out-talk anyone. Why? Because he has. Guy has that same kind of confidence. It would be cool to see who would win in a debate. It would probably annoy everyone, but it would still be great.
