We see actors buff up or just get in shape for roles all of the time but no one does it more often or better then actors who take on super hero roles. Their goal is to look as built up as possible for that costume so that they look like the roles their trying to portray without needing much CGI. Most of their roles include scenes where they are topless so they don’t just need size but they need to be cut and lean, this means they must have functional muscle to be able to move fast and do some of the action scenes themselves. So today I present a list of 10 of the most ripped superheroes, who have ever graced the big screen or just Tv.
