10 WWE Superstars whose ring attire has been inspired by fictional characters

#5 Johnny Gargano as various Marvel characters

Johnny Gargano is hinting at a huge match

Johnny Gargano may be one of the best wrestlers on the planet right now, but the nickname "Johnny Wrestling" doesn't stop him from playing the role of the true underdog to perfection - and it's a role projected via the NXT star's ring attire.

Gargano is the ultimate good guy, as we've seen from his rivalry with former friend Tommaso Ciampa, and the hero of the piece likes to become a superhero in the ring to overcome all obstacles - a point no more obvious than when Gargano has dressed as Star Lord, Thor, Venom and Captain America during his time in NXT!

Gargano took inspiration from Captain America to face Ciampa

The Star Lord attire is no real surprise, and one of the more subtle sets of ring gear Gargano wears. He's a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan and has posted several pieces of fan art as Star Lord, as well as a plethora of merchandise from the movie on social media - but what of the others?

Well, the Captain America attire was worn in a Street Fight against Tomasso Ciampa, but his foe has also fought Gargano in the form of Thor from Thor Ragnarok.

Gargano needed all the strength he could muster

And also as Venom - with the attire having a much deeper meaning, as Gargano would let his hate and anger get the best of him, causing Johnny Wrestling to make some poor decisions that would ultimately lead to his downfall.
