Rey Mysterio is not and has never been the biggest person on WWE's roster. In fact, he's smaller than pretty much every active member in the Divas' Division. However, what Mysterio lacks in stature he more than makes up for with his big heart and his big personality, putting men who tower over him to shame. Who else could embody some of comic book lore's greatest figures (both on the side of darkness and the side of light)? The trend began in 2003 at WrestleMania XIX, Rey's debut on the Grandest Stage of Them All, as he challenged Matt Hardy, in a losing effort, for the Cruiserweight Championship dressed up as Marvel's Daredevil (and if you haven't seen it, yes, he was much better than Ben Affleck, despite being Mexican and much smaller). Over the years, Rey has continued to surprise fans with his comic nerd status, wearing attire inspired by the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Silver Surfer, Batman, The Joker, The Flash, and Captain America!
