[The Frisky] The film “X-Men: First Class” is picking up new students left and right. The newest star to gain superpowers is January Jones, who will be playing the barely clad Emma Frost, aka The White Queen. Jones seems suited for the part with a body that can easily rock an icy white corset and lots of practice having a cold demeanor thanks to her “Mad Men” character. I wonder if Emma Frost will gain the power of super scoldings to go along with her talents?[Cinematical] While this star and superhero seem to be a good match, picking the right actor to portray a comic book fave can be tricky business. So, to make it a little easier on the casting directors, we rounded up some famous faces we’d like to see with a mask on.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as The Riddler. Rumors have been swirling that Levitt is looking to land the part of The Riddler in the next Batman movie. We are thrilled. His charm and versatility could be perfect for a villain who is more about mind games than throwing punches. Plus, everyone has always wondered what Joe would look like covered in question marks. Right?

Nathan Fillion as Captain America. Chris Evans is already slated to play the garishly clothed patriot, but Fillion is equally qualified if not more.  He has a strong jaw, gleaming smile, booming voice, and bulging triceps. And with his practice as Captain Hammer in “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog,” all he would require is a costume change and slight name alteration.

Natalie Portman as Poison Ivy. Natalie basically played this part in “The Other Boleyn Girl,” but instead of hustling around in a skin-tight green suit, she was in an enormous emerald dress going after kings instead of Batman. So maybe not the exact same, but her aggression and sly sexiness could easily be channeled into the toxic villain.

Zoe Kravitz As  Mary Jane.With all the hoopla about who will be the next Spiderman, the role of his love interest has fallen by the way side. This chick could add some edge to the usually dull maiden. Just because she doesn’t have superpowers doesn’t mean that MJ should be a plain Jane.

Zooey Deschanel as Wonder Woman. So far, Wonder Woman has remained relatively untouched since the ‘70s TV show, but the idea of a movie reboot has been bouncing around for a decade. If the bullet-deflecting super lady is going to make a comeback, it needs to be done differently. Zooey would be the perfect alternative Wonder Woman—cute but kick-butt, and marketable towards a hipster audience. If you want a hipster audience.

Jake Gyllenhaal as Dr. Doom. When does Jake ever play the bad guy? I mean, I know that he looks like a Teddy Rukspin, teddy bear, but he got his start thanks to darker roles like “Donnie Darko.” So why don’t we let him be a little weird again and give him a villain to work with? Dr. Doom could be a good match, especially since the most recent attempts at Fantastic Four movies didn’t pan out so well.

Jon Hamm as Superman. If you can put a corset on Betty and call her a superhero, then you can put a cape on Don Draper and call him the king of all comic icons. When they inevitably decide to try to bring back Superman again, Jon could be a welcomed change from the usually unknown young guys that play Clark Kent. By channeling a Don, Hamm could offer a look at a older and more human Superman.

Alexander Skarsgard as Thor. As he has proved as Eric on “True Blood,” Alexander is not bright and shiny—he needs to get a little dirty. With Thor, that’s exactly what he would get. Alexander could channel the viking roughness he has been working on in “TB” into this always sweaty and screaming superhero.

Bradley Cooper as War Machine. It looks like Don Cheadle is here to stay as Iron Man’s right hand man, War Machine. But if they did decide to do another flip-flop, Bradley Cooper may be a good fit for the sidekick robot suit. He and Robert Downey Jr. could have fun together and could have good chemistry.
