9 Actors Who Played Both Iconic Super Heroes And Villains

9. Terrence Stamp - Stick / General Zod

Terrence Stamp lends immediate gravitas to any role he plays, and he even managed to shine in a complete dog of a film like Elektra. He played Stick, the blind martial arts master who trained Daredevil in the comics. Stick is the mentor to Elektra throughout the movie, appearing to give sage advice before vanishing again since they only paid Stamp to work for a few days; he still gives the character a charming edge, though.

He’s the most memorable thing about a very forgettable film, but comic fans will always kneel before Stamp thanks to the role of Zod in Superman I and II. Even with the silly outfit Stamp radiates menace and avoids going the ham route many other actors would have taken. Stamp’s Zod ranks as one of the best comic book movie villains of all time, and while Michael Shannon was a worthy successor, Stamp is still the man to beat.

He left a major Stamp on the role if you will (sorry).
