What would happen if teams could recruit superheroes from this summer's Hollywood blockbusters? Let's just say you'd have the ultimate all-star lineup!
Wolverine as an NHL defenseman
Sports Strengths: Born in Alberta, Canada, Wolverine is a mutant with superhuman senses. His razor-sharp fangs and claws make him an intimidating blueliner.
Sports Weaknesses: Wolverine is always at war with his own animal nature. He is prone to trash-talking and fits of rage — which means he usually ends up in the penalty box.
Secret Skill: His healing ability. Wolverine is able to recover from any hard hit, cut, bruise, broken bone, or missing tooth faster than a mere mortal.
The Wolverine opens on July 26.

Thor as a Big League Slugger
Sports Strengths: Thor is a powerful ancient god who possesses superhuman endurance — a big advantage during a long and grueling baseball season. As one of the founding members of the Avengers, he is also a strong team player.
Sports Weaknesses: Brash and hotheaded, Thor has a tendency to get himself into trouble, especially since there's no arguing balls and strikes in baseball.
Secret Skill: Who needs a bat when you have a hammer? His signature weapon makes Thor an ideal designated hitter.
