Quite possibly the most anticipated movie of the year, The Avengers, hits theaters today around the country.

From IMDB.com:

Nick Fury is director of S.H.I.E.L.D, an international peace keeping agency. The agency is a who’s who of Marvel Super Heroes, with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When global security is threatened by Loki and his cohorts, Nick Fury and his team will need all their powers to save the world from disaster.

A team made up of Marvel Super Heroes made me wonder just who from the Cardinals would fill these shoes if the team was drawn from the Major League roster.

Here is my list of players and their super hero counterparts.  Feel free to comment below with your own thoughts…

Carlos Beltran/Hawkeye

Picture 1 of 7

Looking at the description of the character Hawkeye on IMDB, you'll find this line - "He is highly capable and charismatic team leader and a shrewd combat strategist, albeit sometimes reckless. "

Beltran is just that. A leader on and off the field that has a shroud of mystery around him for those not on his team. Effective and occasionally wild, Beltran is the marksman this team needs.

Big. Slow. Massive. Crushing. That's Billy Butler, alright. "Country Breakfast" meets "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry". I wonder if we can get Billy to show up green for a game?
