Beast

Colossus
Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin
A hot boy with a required amount of muscles. Still not sure if I would like to match him up with either Nothstar or Shadowcat but either way, he'd make the perfect cut. The thought of him metal covered isn't all wrong neither!
12. Hayden Panettiere
Actress | Heroes

Her younger brother was actor Jansen Panettiere (1994-2023). Her parents are both of half Italian descent, along with German and English. Her mother got ...
Magik
Illyana Nikolievna Rasputin

Forge
(Name unrevealed)
Since both name and motherland are unrevealed, the looks of the mutant has changed with the time. But I think of him as a little Arizona mexican. No doubt this gives free moving space for Thomas McDonell to form it himself. Also believes he seem to have the right personality for it as well.
14. Manu Bennett
Actor | 30 Days of Night
"Shall We Begin!", the battlecry of The undefeated Gaul Crixus first bought Manu Bennett's voice & acting career to international attention. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (2011) spoke a universal language that slowly but surely captured a massive audience. The the show lost lead actor Andy Whitfield...
Cable
Nathan Summers
Oh how I'd love to see Manu in gray hair, the metal arm and the glowing eye. Some people suits in it surprisingly. Not to mention he really looks like one who would suit the story of Nathan.
15. Leighton Meester
Actress | The Roommate
Leighton Marissa Meester was born in Fort Worth, Texas, to Constance Lynn (Haas) and Douglas Jay Meester. Although born in Texas, Meester spent her early years in Marco Island, Florida with her grandparents. There, she became involved with the local playhouse and made her stage debut in a ...

A self-confessed tomboy and "daredevil", Ashley loved to try to keep up with her older brother Joe, taking on activities such as ...
Domino
Neena Thurman.
Google her up. Ashley greene is one of a few I believe would look sexy with an "eyepatch" (looks more like a weird placed tattoo).
18. Gary Oldman
Actor | The Dark Knight
Gary Oldman is a talented English movie star and character actor, renowned for his expressive acting style. One of the most celebrated thespians of his generation, with a diverse career encompassing theatre, film and television, he is known for his roles as Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy (1986), ...
Magneto
Max Eisenhardt
According to me Ian mcKellen looks a little to old for Magneto. But still you could not have an actor who would make Magneto look younger than other mutants (even Wolverine who actually is quite a lot older) , which made Gary a perfect match.
19. Daniel Sunjata
Actor | One for the Money
Daniel Sunjata (born Daniel Sunjata Condon on December 30, 1971) is an American actor who performs in film, television and theater. He is best known for his role as "Franco Rivera" in the FX television series, Rescue Me (2004). Sunjata also starred as "Paul Briggs" in USA Network's series, Graceland...
Bishop
Lucas Bishop
Okay, so I know Daniel Sunjata is both Irish and german except from his afro american roots which may result in a little to light skincolour, but still, I wouldn't think of anyone else who'd look better with an M in his face.
20. Serinda Swan
Actress | Reacher
Serinda Swan can be seen as the female lead in the second season of Amazon's hit show Reacher.
While her considerable appeal and presence have landed her roles in tent-poles like Disney's Tron and Fox's Percy Jackson franchise, it's Serinda's intelligence, good humor and athleticism that garnered ...
X-23
Laura Kinney
The hard part with finding an actress to impersonate X-23 is her way of looking like a girl wolverine, angry and yet sexy. Perfectly, Serinda got em all.
21. Jessica Stroup
Actress | The Hills Have Eyes II
Jessica Stroup was born October 23rd 1986, in Anderson, South Carolina, USA. At the age of 17, she received a scholarship to attend the University of Georgia, but turned it down to pursue acting.

Shadowcat
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde
The pretty girl who's got the brain as well as the looks. Wasn't completely sure on this one, but no good actress looks this young, mature, american and (enough) jewish. I stand by my choice.
22. Zoe Saldana
Actress | Avatar
Zoe Saldana was born on June 19, 1978 in Passaic, New Jersey, to Asalia Nazario and Aridio Saldaña. Her father was Dominican and her mother is Puerto Rican. She was raised in Queens, New York.

Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff
When I looked for a Scarlet Witch, I was looking for a natural brunette who you could see as a mother if you only wanted to. Maybe she looks a little young to have two teenager sons, but hey, when we're talking about flying men in bodysuits, i believe the look of age doesn't really matter.
25. Jeremy Sumpter
Actor | Peter Pan
Jeremy Robert Myron Sumpter was born on February 5, 1989 in Monterey, California, to Sandra (Johnson) and Gary Sumpter. He was raised in his mother's hometown, Mount Sterling, Kentucky. At a young age, he enjoyed mountain climbing and play with his friends like any other normal kid, but when he ...
Iceman
Robert "Bobby" Drake

Toad
Mortimer Toynbee
Okay this was a reeeeally hard one. To find a man who has the traits of a toad but still somehow looks okay, is a lot harder then I expected. Although "Wolverine and the X-men" series gave me the idea of a boy with dreads, I immediately came to think of the new Glee actor. Seriously, there are almost no actors with dreads. I know now.
28. Henry Cavill
Actor | Man of Steel
Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill was born on the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British Crown dependency in the Channel Islands. His mother, Marianne (Dalgliesh), a housewife, was also born on Jersey, and is of Irish, Scottish and English ancestry. Henry's father, Colin Richard Cavill, a stockbroker, is of ...
Wolverine
James Howlett (Called Logan since he forgot his name)
Looks a little beastly but still protective and caring. After his role in Immortals I'm sure he would take off the aggressive mutant perfectly.
29. Ryan Kwanten
Actor | True Blood
HBO's mega-hit True Blood created by Academy Award winner Alan Ball set the stage for Ryan's talent. For seven seasons he portrayed the fan favorite Jason Stackhouse. Most recently in the film world, Ryan has been discretionary yet fruitful with his choices of project. Working for a second time ...
Cannonball
Samuel Guthrie
It's hard to put words on Samuel. You see him a lot in the cartoons, but not too much of how he is as a person. But as I see it, he is independent and almost a little bit of a jester. Wich made me think of a certain "New Girl" actor.
30. Megan Fox
Actress | Transformers
Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and raised in Rockwood, Tennessee to Gloria Darlene Tonachio (née Cisson), a real estate manager & Franklin Thomas Fox, a parole officer. She began her drama and dance training at age 5 and at age 10, she moved to Port St. Lucie, ...
Psylocke

Pixie
Megan Gwynn
The pretty, caring and almost always happy mutant Pixie could only be impersonated by someone with a face like hers. Just wondering how she'd look in purple hair and fairy wings.
32. Mark Strong

Gambit
Remy leBeau
Looks sexy as hell. Just worried about how he'd manage the french accent. But no doubt he's got the gambit "thief" looks.
34. Alan Ritchson
Actor | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Alan Ritchson has carved a space for himself on both the large and small screens since he made the trek from a small town in Florida to Los Angeles.
Alan Michael Ritchson was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Vickie (Harrell), a high school teacher, and David Ritchson, a U.S. Air Force Chief ...
Random
Marshall Stone III
Since Random is so "random" (hehehe), it's hard to tell how he actually looks like. At first I imaginedhim as a white silver surfer, but lately I've been thinking, since Marshall has the power to look however he wants, as a bounty hunder, wouldn't he want to look muscular and badass? Well I know I would.
35. Katherine von Drachenberg
Actress | The Bleeding
Katherine von Drachenberg was born on March 8, 1982 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She is a producer and actress, known for The Bleeding (2009), The Lincoln Lawyer (2022) and The Adventures of Señor Toro (2009). She has been married to Leafar Seyer since February 21, 2018. They have one ...
Lady Deathstrike
Yuriko Oyama
To make it short: Kat von D is one of a very few asian looking girls who looks like she could be an tough serial killer (No offence! I love her for that).
36. Nick E. Tarabay
Actor | Star Trek Into Darkness
Nick Emad Tarabay is a Lebanese-American actor. He is best known for portraying Ashur on the Starz TV series Spartacus. Tarabay was born in Beirut, Lebanon to a large family. His mother and father still reside in Lebanon as does his younger brother and a large extended family of cousins, uncles and...
Omega Red
Arkady Gregorivich
I think that somehow Nick could act a lot like a russian if he'd only manage the accent. And after seeing the Spartacus series, we know his capability of playing evil men with power they shouldn't have.
37. David Boreanaz
Actor | Angel
David was born in Buffalo, New York and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the son of Patti, a travel agent, and weatherman Dave Roberts (Boreanaz). His father is of Italian descent and his mother is of half Slovak ancestry. At the age of seven he decide to be an actor, which eventually ...

Surge
Noriko "Nori" Ashida
Okay here I just thought of how Surge looks in the "X-men Destiny" game. And so i looked up "Pretty asian actors" and then when i saw Jenna I was like "booya!".
39. Nikki SooHoo
Actress | Stick It
Nikki SooHoo is an American-born actress from Southern California. Best known for her roles in the movies: "The Lovely Bones," directed by Peter Jackson, "Stick It," the gymnastics movie starring alongside Jeff Bridges, and "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish," the cheerleading movie costarring with ...
Armor
Hisako Ichiki
To be honest, I did the same thing here. Although I think Armors' mutation is one of the coolest, she does simply not interest me as a character.
40. Matt Dallas
Actor | Kyle XY
Matthew Joseph "Matt" Dallas born October 21, 1982 is an American actor, best known for playing the title character on the ABC Family series Kyle XY. Dallas was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and attended Arizona School for the Arts. He has two younger brothers and one younger sister. He became ...
Angel
Warren Worthington III
Since I was annoyed by the looks of Angel in X2 this was my greatest concern. Angel is supposed to be the stunningly beautiful man who draw the looks of every girl (and several boys). Hope not Matt looks to silly as blonde though.
41. Naya Rivera
Actress | Glee
Naya Rivera was an Afro-Latina American actress, model and singer known for playing Santana Lopez from Glee and Hillary Winston from The Royal Family. She also was in The Master of Disguise, Baywatch, CSI: Miami, American Dad, Batman: The Long Halloween Parts 1 and 2, Even Stevens and The Bernie ...
Magma
Amara Aquilla
Okay, so I know Amara is often drawn as a blonde or red-haired girl, but seriously, if you're a lava controlling mutant from south America you should be looking like Naya. I don't care if they dye her hair blonde.. Or actually I do. But if she would just have brown hair, She'd look like Amara in the "X-men Evolution" series, which I personally think is the best version.
42. Yunjin Kim
Actress | Lost
Yunjin Kim (born November 7, 1973), also known as Kim Yun-Jin is a South Korean-American film and theater actress.

For her work in Memoirs of a Geisha she was...
Sunpyre
Leyu Yoshida
I first saw Ziyi a couple of years ago in "Memoirs of a Geisha". Clearly, the most beautiful asian I've seen. And so I really wanted her as one of the Asian mutants. Where Sunpyre clearly is my favorite.
45. Ayelet'
Actress | Weeds
Ayelet' left her home country Israel and relocated herself to Los Angeles, CA. Seeking for an acting career, Ayelet' landed her first American TV role on the CW Tv show '90210' More TV work followed and she landed a recurring role on ShowTime series 'Weeds' playing the role of young Arab Beauty, ...
Dust
Sooraya Qadir
Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I didn't think this one out myself. I asked a frind for hot actresses born in the middle east (Although I dont see why she needs to be hot when she's covering everything up). The results are though pretty satisfying.
46. Emmanuelle Chriqui
Actress | Wrong Turn
Emmanuelle Chriqui was born in Montreal, Quebec, to Moroccan Jewish immigrants, Liliane (Benisty) and Albert Chriqui. Her family moved to Toronto when she was two years old. At the age of 10, Chriqui appeared in a McDonald's commercial. She moved to Vancouver, guest-starring in series such as Are ...

He began modeling at age 15 and his first success came with an Abercrombie & Fitch campaign. He also modeled for J.C. Penney, Kira Plastinina, and Ralph Lauren. He is best ...
Chamber
Jonothon "Jono" Starsmore
And so I saw this boy in a "did you know?" about the twilight movie and thought, "He is how i believe Jonothon would look like if not he'd been scattered in pieces.
48. Dominic Cooper
Actor | The Devil's Double
Dominic Edward Cooper was born and raised in Greenwich, London, England. His mother, Julie (Heron), is a nursery school teacher and a keen theater-goer. His father, Brian Cooper, is an auctioneer. They divorced when Dominic was age 5. His maternal great-grandfather was film enthusiast E.T. Heron, ...
Namor the Sub-Mariner
Namor mcKenzie
Since I've been longing for to see the atlantean prince in movies someday I wanted the actor to be as I think of Namor to be. Dark haired, a bit fiery look, would still look hot when outraged. Well this didn't make me more eager at all..
49. Christina Aguilera
Soundtrack | The Voice
Christina Maria Aguilera was born on December 18, 1980 in Staten Island, New York City, New York to musician Shelly Loraine Fidler Kearns and U.S. Army sergeant Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera Monge.

Boom-Boom
Tabitha Smith
And so I immediately thought of Christina Aguilera as Boom-Boom. Obvious as a hot dog shovel as swedes say by some weird reason..
Tell Your Friends
