Actors who play multiple comicbook characters.?
I know I will get a lot of vomitous answers from people who won't read this but...
Name actors/actresses who have played more than one comic book character in major motion pictures. It doesn't matter if the comic is DC, Marvel, or any Indy comic. BUT, the character must be defined in the comic book, and not the opposite, such as a comic that was spun off the movie.
Television shows do not count, so even though Annette O'Toole plays Martha Kent in Smallville, and played Lana Lang in Superman III, since Smallville is not a movie, it does not count.
Likewise characters created just for a movie and are not in the comics do not count, for instance, even though Rebecca Romijn plays Mystique in X-Men, she plays an un-comic book related character in The Punisher, so once again she would not count.
Voices in animation don't count, either.
I have only found one actor who has done this. I will give my answer tomorrow or on Monday.
And obviously not the same character in sequels.
Keep them coming.
This question was originally posed to me before Sin City was made so I never thought of those.
And obviously Superman Returns came out after Sin City as well, so I never thought of that one, either.
Catwoman was such an awful movie that I had purged it from my brain.
I need to disqualify Schwarzenegger because both the comic and the movie arose from the pulp fiction novellettes in "Weird Tales".
But still good catches across the board.
What other ones can you come up with? You still haven't come up with the one I came up with.
You're getting a little out of control.
You are now listing LOTS that were movies before they were comic books.

How about Halle Berry....Storm in X-Men 1, 2, & 3 and Catwoman.
Arnold Schwarzenegger....Conan the Barbarian and Mr Freeze in Batman & Robin
James Marsden...Cyclops in X-men movies and Richard White in Superman Returns. Not both heroes or villians but real comics characters.
Jessica Alba...The Invisible Woman(Sue Storm) and Nancy Callahan in Frank Miller's Sin City.
Michael Clarke Duncan...Kingpin in The Daredevil and Minute in Sin City
I'll keep thinking of em all day, stuck in my head now lol
OK Jim Carrey as The Mask, Stanley Ipkiss and The Riddler in Batman Forever
Liam Neeson as Darkman and Henri Ducard in Batman Begins
It doesn't count yet but........Ken Watanabe was Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins and is going to be Silver Samarai in the Wolverine spinoff. Sam Elliot was General Ross in Hulk and is going to be Caretaker in Ghost Rider. Put those in just for chits and grins.
Tommy Lee Jones as K in Men in Black and Two Face in Batman Forever.
Jaime King was Jade in Bulletproof Monk and played Goldie and her sister Wendy in Sin City.
Jennifer Connelly was Betsy Ross in the Hulk and Jenny Blake in The Rocketeer. OWWWW my brain hurts, lol.
OK, OK I'm done for a while but Bulletproof Monk, The Rocketeer, Men in Black, Darkman, The Mask were all comics 1st I believe. I DO wanna know who you figured out though and I do agree that Conan came from the pulpies 1st.
I thought that Darkman was a comic 1st but maybe was wrong. The others I verified on wikipedia..link is below. Doesn't matter though as I've had fun just thinking about it. THX

One I can think of is Sly Stallone, he played Judge Dredd and he played Demolition Man, a minor character from Marvel Comics. Jessica Alba was in Sin City and the Fantastic Four. Michael Clarke Duncan, was in Sin City and Daredevil. Ian Mckellan was in the Shadow and of course, the X-Men. James Hong was in the Shadow as well as Tank Girl.
I'm sure there are others, but I haven't found them yet.

It took some thinking, but I've got one not yet said. Dolph Lundgren played The Punisher and He-Man.
