NFL Memes and DailySnark.com teamed together to come up with some of the NFL best and brightest stars as super heroes. While there are a couple matches that won't exactly make sense to everyone, almost all of these are spot on. If you're a fan of super heroes and the NFL, you'll love these pictures.

Make sure to click all the way through to see Roger Goodell's hilarious appearance.

If only Gronk was spiking a football in this shot, it would be perfect. Either way, the New England Patriots tight end does come off rather "Thor"-ish.

Calvin Johnson - Megatron

Obvious, but still awesome. Not only does Calvin Johnson dominate his opposition on the field, but apparently he spends his off days kicking Decepticon butt.

Odell Beckham Jr. - Spiderman

This one might just be the best match. Not only is Beckham quick and agile like Spiderman, but he's also got hands of glue that somehow stick to just about everything they touch. It sure would explain a lot.

J.J. Watt - Captain America

If there's one NFL player that truly embodies the American spirit, it's J.J. Watt. The tenacious defensive end is a great person off the field, and a tremendous playmaker on it. No matter what he's doing, Watt is inspiring young athletes everywhere to chase their dreams.

Clay Matthews - The Hulk

Complete with the golden locks and Green Bay green, Clay Matthews is another perfect match in this situation. Especially after making a big play and flexing his massive biceps, Matthews certainly bares some resemblance to the Hulk.

Peyton Manning - Iron Man

The NFL's ageless wonder continues to impress despite all of the health concerns. He may be old, but his intelligence and understanding certainly help him overcome his younger, more-agile competition. The pizza is just the icing on the cake.

Cam Newton - Superman

In terms of overall talent, we're not entirely sold on this match. However, it makes a ton of sense considering Cam Newton does the Superman pose -- and subsequent (pretend) shirt ripping -- whenever he scores a touchdown.

Jimmy Graham - The Thing

Jimmy Graham might just be a mutant considering how unearthly his football abilities are. He's big, strong and fast. Much like the Thing, he can dominate the competition in a number of ways.

Aaron Rodgers - Batman

This isn't just about the Discount Double Check that Aaron Rodgers does after every touchdown. No, this is about the fact that he's been a hero for the Green Bay Packers since he took over as the starting QB. Excellent fit -- the belt is just a bonus.

LeSean McCoy - The Green Lantern

This is a clever one. While McCoy certainly suffered some setbacks this past season, he's still one of the most fluid, elusiveness athletes in all of football. Considering the Green Lantern is known for his agility and ability to fly, McCoy seems like the perfect match. Plus, he bears the Eagles' green colors.

Ndamukong Suh - Juggernaut

Ndamukong Suh - Juggernaut

Ndamukong Suh
DailySnark.com

Well, Ndamukong Suh is arguably one of the biggest, strongest and most dominant players in the NFL, so this makes plenty of sense. Plus, Juggernaut is typically a villain, as Suh is seen in the league due to his on-field antics and overall poor attitude.

Tom Brady - Gambit

Tom Brady

We're not entirely sure this one makes a ton of sense. Gambit throws cards charged with kinetic energy. Brady throws footballs. The only thing that makes this one believable is that Gambit uses his hypnotic charm to sway victims, and Brady has some decent charms of his own -- he did score Gisele Bundchen, after all.

Kam Chancellor - Wolverine

Kam Chancellor - Wolverine

Kam Chancellor

While he may not have claws, Chancellor sure plays like a Wolverine. He's ferocious and has a nasty bite to him. If you cross paths with Chancellor, chances are it won't end well for you. Plus, he routinely plays through pain, almost as if he can heal his own wounds like Wolverine can.

Andrew Luck - The Beast

Andrew Luck - The Beast

Andrew Luck
DailySnark.com

We're not sold on this one. Sure, Andrew Luck is a beast on the football field and wears the same colors as the Beast's fur, but other than that, he bares little resemblance. Maybe it's the shaggy beard that makes this one believable. The intelligence could also play a part considering Luck went to Stanford and the Beast was a doctor. Ok, it makes sense.

Colin Kaepernick - The Flash

Colin Kaepernick - The Flash

Colin Kaepernick

There are two things that make some sense here. First, Colin Kaepernick is very fast for a quarterback. Just look at some of his highlight-reel runs for more evidence. Second, the San Francisco 49ers' colors are similar to those the Flash wears. So I guess this match makes sense.

Roger Goodell - The Punisher

If you need this to be explained, you need to pay more attention to what's going on in the world around you instead of reading so many comic books.
