Hugh Jackman
Alright so we took a look at some of the super-sexy female superheroes this morning and now it's time for the boys to step into the spotlight.
1. Hugh Jackman: Wolverine
X-Men (2000); X2 (2003); X-Men: The Last Stand (2006); Wolverine (2009)
With his fine facial chops and admirable acting chops, Hugh Jackman snarls his way to top spot with Wolverine, the brooding hero of the X-Men trilogy and now the lead in his own movie, to be released at the end of May.
He might have dangerous claws, but there’s many a woman who’d gladly fall into his steely grip. Jackman is also a very rare beast: one of Hollywood’s thoroughly decent fellows.
2. Ioan Gruffudd: Mr Fantastic
Fantastic Four (2005); Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
The Welsh hunk Gruffudd stretched his CV when taking on the role of the super-supple Reed Richards, aka Mr Fantastic, in the Fantastic Four franchise.
Bringing charm and good looks to the character of the boffin scientist, comic book guru Stan Lee regards him as the most intelligent character in the Marvel universe, heartthrob Gruffudd also cut a few fine moves on the dance-floor in the 2007 sequel.
3. Christian Bale: Batman
Batman Begins, The Dark Knight
Another Welshman enters the list, with by far the most successful on-screen Batman of all time. Christian Bale might fan the flames of his fiery big-screen persona, by occasionally erupting in public places, but up on screen, he’s even more dangerous.
That dark smouldering fire burning behind his Bat-eyes becomes even more menacing when he wraps himself in his tight rubber shell and heads out onto the streets of Gotham.
4. George Clooney: Batman
Batman & Robin (1997)
Joel Schumacher’s 1997 entry into the Batman canon was widely derided by critics, despite Uma Thurman playing the sultry Poison Ivy. And yet, while the film proved a box office turkey, Clooney kept his gander up, emerging with some credibility and bright new career.
His version of the character may have lacked Christian Bale’s body-sculpted super-suit, but he looked better than Adam West, cutting a fine figure when suited as the suave Bruce Wayne.
5. Robert Downey Jr: Iron Man
Iron Man (2008)
The mercurial Downey Jr found a masterful performance when adopting the character of Iron Man in last year’s ever-popular comic book adaptation.
His primary character, weapons manufacturer Tony Stark, might have proved a bit of a metal-hearted rogue but once he’s learned the error of his ways and built himself an incredibly nifty super-suit, Downey Jr’s hero emerges as one cast-iron, handsome crime-fighter.
The X-Men Trilogy Blu-ray Collection will be released on 20 April from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Ok so now it's time to take a look at which female superheroes made the list.
