Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms and mankind’s protection

#3 Hulk (Bruce Banner)

Sport: Greco-Roman Wrestling

When in human form, Bruce Banner is a genius scientist. But once he gets angry, he transforms into a mean fighting machine.

Undoubtedly, he would make for a great American Greco-Roman wrestler. Obviously, he would toy with his opponents on the wrestling mat. If you’ve any doubts about his superhuman strength on the fighting pad, all you have to do is ask Loki, a God in his own right, who bore the brunt of Hulk’s attention during the famous Avengers movie.
