We love superheroes, and we love superhero costumes. All that spandex and leather looks great on superheroes and would look even better on our bedroom floors! But it’s also the heroes themselves who are often way hotter than an average human being.
We know that visuals are a big part of the comic book medium, but sometimes, comic artists go extra hard and make certain characters way hotter than they have any right to be! These 20 characters have us thanking the gay gods that we live in an era with so much superhero content!
Here’s a look at the male superheroes and villains who get us going and never fail to make us swoon when we see them.
1. Nightwing
Nicola Scott/DC Comics
The most famous ass in all of comics belongs to this Batman-adjacent superhero. He’s got all the ass-ets to save the day, no matter what the emergency is.
2. Hercules
Russell Dauterman/Marvel Comics
He’s the buffest and strongest of all the Greek gods, and we love a muscle daddy! Now this is what we mean when we say Hunkules! Yes, of course Hercules is gonna be huge, but did Marvel really have to make him so adorable at the same time?
3. Iceman
Russell Dauterman/Marvel Comics
This twink is cool as ice! He’s the perfect partner for some chill fun on a hot and sweaty summer day!
4. Namor
Michael Turner/Marvel Comics
Even if he didn’t walk around shirtless all the time, Namor would still be one of the hottest characters in all of comics. He’s got that good good swimmer’s body that we really love!
5. Thor
He’s the god of thunder, but he can be our god tonight! Thor’s got the muscles, the beard, and the hair to make him one of the sexiest men in comics.
6. Luke Cage
Stuart immonen/Marvel Comics
Bald is beautiful, especially when it's on someone as fine as Luke Cage! The protector of Harlem has unbreakable skin that we’d love to get our hands all over.
7. Gambit
Russell Dauterman/Marvel Comics
Gambit’s got that great Southern charm that we really love! He can charm us with his thick accent while reminding us that bad boys make some of the best lovers.
8. John Constantine
Renato Guedes/DC Comics
Constantine is the biggest bisexual slut in all of comics. He was originally designed to look like the singer Sting, so it makes sense he’d look like a hot and charming rock star.
9. Daken
Marvel Snap/Marvel Comics
Daken is the mutant son of Wolverine, and is known for his love of showing off his large, tattooed, naked chest and arms. With his tattoos and mohawk, he’s got the great alt edge that we love in a man.
10. Noh-Varr
Mike Deodato Jr./Marvel Comics
Kree dreamboat Noh-Varr is so hot that he’s hooked up with both Kate Bishop and Hercules. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Kieron Gillen based Noh-Varr’s look on David Bowie when he included him in his Young Avengers run.
11. Midnighter
Romulo Fajardo, Jr./DC Comics
The BDSM Batman has got all the sex appeal of Bruce Wayne plus the edge of a dungeon master daddy dressed all in black leather. Apollo sure is a lucky man!
12. M'baku
Mateus Manhanini/Marvel Comics
This might be primarily based on Winston Duke’s portrayal of him in the Black Panther movies, but damn, M’Baku could M’break our back any day!
13. Killmonger
Mateus Manhanini/Marvel Comics
Another character who suddenly got a lot hotter once they appeared in a movie, Killmonger was played by the gorgeous Michael B. Jordan, and we wouldn’t get mad at anyone for going over to the bad side to be with him.
14. Colossus
Marvel Comics
One of the biggest beefcakes in all of comics, Colossus is the perfect man for all the size queens out there!
15. Black Panther
Mateus Manhanini/Marvel Comics
T’Challa is the damn king of Wakanda, and he’s the hottest monarch we’ve ever seen! He’s also a genius, a great family man, and handsome as hell.
16. Peacemaker
Tom Reilly/DC Comics
John Cena is sexy and hilarious as this big, beefy himbo, and we’re loving that we’re getting to see more and more of him! We’d happily make peace and love with Peacemaker all night long!
17. Kraven the Hunter
Israel Silva/Marvel Comics
The chest hair, the beard, the muscles, the way he can provide and protect… Kraven the Hunter is honestly kind of our dream man?
18. Venom
Bryan Hitch/Marvel Comics
Eddie Brock, we love you so, so much! He’s already sexy as hell by himself, and when he adds a sexy symbiote that can change into any size or shape, we are all in!
19. Catman
Dale Eaglesham/DC Comics
Thomas Blake may be seen as a bit of a Batman knock off, but he’s hot enough to stand on his own! We love the rugged look!
20. Red Hood
Kael Ngu/DC Comics
The ultimate rebel and bad boy of the DC universe! Jason Todd is damaged, and we just know we can fix him!
