My list of who these stars would be if they were a superhero/villain
Shaq- The Hulk
I'll lead the list off with this one although "The Big Aristotle" and enormous, green hero do not share much more than sheer size and number of "extra marginal" movies each has appeared in (Both weigh in with two: Hulk (2003) and The Incredible Hulk (2008) vs. Kazaam (1996) and the straight-to-video offering Steel (1997)).
Lil Wayne- The Joker
Weezy F. Baby possesses a rare characteristic that lends him favorably to the comparison to one of Batman's menacing enemies: An appearance of insanity. Whether it is his wriggling dreads, face tattoos (always a sign of mental instability in my book) or when he squeals "yyyouunggg mooollaaahhhh bbaaay-baayyyy," Lil Wayne definitely has certain "je ne sais quoi" about him that reminds me of the joker. If you are in need of more convincing, see the video Kid A posted a couple weeks ago.
LeBron- Superman
The best basketball player on Earth and Man of Steel can both fly (LeBron only for short periods of time), and exhibit superhuman strength, but the reason I tie them together is that they are unfair. When I was growing up I didn't really like Superman because he had too many powers. Speed, power, flight, extreme durability, x-ray and laser vision in a package seemed like overkill, so I lost interest because I thought things were too easy for him. LeBron's unbalanced talents and abilities can make a floor full of world-class athletes look like the old guys who play at 6:00am at the YMCA. Thankfully, the inequitable distribution of gifts hasn't turned me away from Bron Bron like it did Superman. LeBron is still one of my favorite players.
---Best of the Rest---
Alicia Keys- Catwoman
Imagine her in black leather with cat ears, and try to tell me I'm wrong.
Beautiful Dave- Captain America
Once you meet up-and-coming male model Beautiful Dave, you will know what I'm talking about.
Kanye West- Iron Man
Tony Stark, master inventor who became Iron Man and Kanye are both brash and demonstrate high levels of ingenuity.
