24 Strangest Celebrity Cameos In Comic Book History

16. Jerry Lewis

Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were superb comedy duo, known for their chemistry and slapstick humor. The two were so successful, they even got their own comic book The Adventures of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. After the team broke up, however, the series was renamed to simply The Adventures of Jerry Lewis. In a crossover between Lewis and Superman's own comic book series, Superman - after battling a dragon-like creature - is tasked with interviewing Lewis for the Daily Planet. After Lewis's nephew Renfrew purposefully soaks Clark, he is forced to hang his Superman suit for drying. Lewis ends up finding the suit and lets his curiosity get the better of him by putting it on. Unfortunately, it turns out Lex Luthor had Superman's costume irradiated with kryptonite during his battle with the dragon, and has tracked the Last Son of Krypton in an attempt to find out his identity. Mistaking Lewis for Superman's alter ego, Luthor and his cronies chase down Lewis until Superman uses his super speed to take back the costume and defeat Lex.

15. John Walsh (The Outsiders)

Originally formed as a team to back-up Batman in his silver-age Brave and the Bold run, the Outsiders grew to be in many ways DC's version of the X-Men. The group consisted of many members who fell between the fine lines of hero and antihero, and as such Outsider stories tended to be darker (foreshadowing the maturity the Bronze and Modern Ages would take). In 2004, John Walsh returned to the comic book world in an issue of the Outsiders where the team loses track of a child prostitution ring. Desperate, they turn to America's Most Wanted, where Walsh requests nationwide viewers to help stop the slavery. As you can expect, someone provides an anonymous tip and the Outsiders save the day (though they couldn't save some of the story's bad writing).
