8 Actors Who Have Played Multiple Superheroes

It's hard to imagine now, but can you remember a time when talking racoons and Asgardian gods didn't rule the box office, a time when Robert Downey Jr. wasn't a bankable star and Christopher Reeves was the only Superman worth thinking about?

5) Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider/Big Daddy/Superman)

Falling under the rare category of actors ‘so bad, they’re good,’ Nicolas Cage has delighted audiences with his genuinely insane performances for decades now, so of course, a few superhero roles have come his way in that time. For a man who’s pissed actual fire as Ghost Rider and starred in a doomed Superman project, it seems odd that Cage’s part as Big Daddy in the film Kick-Ass is probably his least insane superhero role yet.

Batman character parodies are far less strange than a skeleton motorcyclist and a dodgy Superman wig, right? Right!? The strangest thing about all of this though is that Kick-Ass was actually a hit for Nicolas Cage, something that has escaped his CV for quite some time now… unless you count The Wicker Man remake of course. Funniest movie ever made.

Best Role: Big Daddy
