In honor of the Rio Olympics, I decided to have some fun and give you a list of which Comic Book heroes would make the Olympics and which events they would win (or lose). Here are the 10 events selected!

Fencing

He's probably touching his Gold medal tonight...

Gold Medal - Deadpool
Silver Medal - Katana
Bronze Medal - Swordsman

Deadpool is a bit of an underdog for the fencing event. I think most people would put Katana in the Gold position, but I feel Deadpool's unconventional style would aid him during the match. I did have Swordsman in the silver position, but I feel Katana's drive for victory would ultimately edge out Swordsman.

Swimming

Gold Medal - Aquaman
Silver Medal - Tempest
Bronze Medal - Namora

It may seem a bit obvious that the King of the Sea would also be the winner of the Gold medal, but no other hero could really contest with him. Tempest for silver was kind of a toss of coin because I could easily see Namora get silver as well.

Track Events

Gold Medal - Flash
Silver Medal - Makkari
Bronze Medal - Runner

I am aware that many would argue that Zoom and Silver Surfer should be on this list, but much of their abilities have to do with time travel and morphing time to move "fast." I wanted to focus on heroes that could actually run fast. Flash is the only one in my mind who could win the gold. I considered Superman for the bronze, but after some serious thought, Makkari and Runner both would edge him out.

Gymnastics

Took warm down stretching way to seriously!

Gold Medal - Mr. Fantastic
Silver Medal - Catwoman
Bronze Medal - Black Widow

Mr. Fantastic is sort of a unfair hero for this event due to his unreal flexibility, but in any good sporting event, sometimes the favorite comes out on top. Silver was a lot harder to decide. Plenty of heroes could dominate in this event, but I chose Catwoman due to her background in gymnastics. Black Widow rounded up the bronze not because of her insane body control that was on full display in the movies.

Shot Put

Gold Medal - Hulk
Silver Medal - Superman
Bronze Medal - Thing

Hulk wins this event partially based on some information I gathered from a Nerdist article. As stated in "Betrayal!" Secret Wars II 8 (February 1986), Hulk's potential strength was "not finite" and if the Hulk could utilize that strength, he could beat Superman for the Gold. Thing is similar to the Hulk in regards to strength, but I feel Superman is slightly better. It could go either way.

Biking

Gold Medal - Ghost Rider
Silver Medal - Green Lantern
Bronze Medal - Spiderman

Ghost Rider would have the most biking experience, which I would like to weigh higher than Green Lantern's glowing bike. Spiderman would get the bronze just because I feel he would try real hard. Trying may not be enough to win a medal, but his occasional comments could distract other riders (not as bad as Deadpool, but still pretty bad). Plus, its not everyday a high school with spidey senses can win a medal at the Olympics.

Beach Volleyball

Kerri Walsh Jennings's inspiration...or was that Leslie Jones?

Gold Medal - Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel
Silver Medal - Spiderman and Invisible Woman
Bronze Medal - Batman and Robin

Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, two of the most iconic women superheroes in their respective universes, would be excellent teammates and consummate professionals on the beach. Spiderman and Invisible Woman has to be one of the most fun and interesting team dynamics. Imagine never knowing where the spike was going to come from or where it will go? That being said, talk about a communication nightmare! Batman and Robin are the obvious bronze medal as one of the most consistent and balanced teams under Batman's leadership.

Tennis

Gold Medal - Supergirl
Silver Medal - She-Hulk
Bronze Medal - Black Panther

Golden Hair, Golden Medal, Golden Hustle!

Supergirl vs She-Hulk would be a very close match up in tennis, each with great strength and quickness. She-Hulk definitely has the anger in her favor late in matches, but Supergirl has an unparalleled hustle that makes her the gold standard. Black Panther would have the speed and power combination to spread the court and finish with power. Still, Supergirl and She-Hulk definitely have a power that Black Panther couldn't replicate on the serves.

Judo

What all Paralympians look like! #realolympians

Gold Medal - Daredevil
Silver Medal - Batgirl
Bronze Medal - Iron Fist

I had fun with this list, knowing Iron Fist probably has the best chance of winning. So, I thought, who would be some talented underdogs that could outdo Iron Fist? I feel Iron Fist would underestimate Batgirl in the Judo ring and her talent would elevate her performance for a surprise win. Daredevil would have a tougher time to the finals, but would defy the odds and show that even human "disabilities" can become incredible abilities. The ultimate underdog story!

Archery

Gold Medal - Hawkeye
Silver Medal - Green Arrow
Bronze Medal - Huntress

For archery, I felt it best not to add sharpshooters who used guns and focus solely on bow wielding comic book characters. Green Arrow and Hawkeye would be pretty close for a majority of the competition, but Green Arrow's reliance on trick shot arrows may be his downfall. Huntress would be keep it close with Green Arrow, but Green Arrow's experience gives him the advantage in the Silver medal match.

These are my thoughts on Olympic Medal for the Super Heroes. What do you think of the list? Do you think others should win the Gold and if so, who? Leave a comment below on your thoughts!
