Before They Were Superheroes: Your Favorite Stars, Spandex Optional
There’s no movie hero like a superhero, and summer brings out the best, with alluring women of justice and mysterious men with masks. As the season’s crime fighters fly in and out of theaters, take a peek at the latest crop of hot Hollywood heroes, long before they donned capes, latex, and leather. By Anna Dimond

Chris Evans as Captain America
It was only a matter of time before Chris Evans and his abdominals became the embodiment of superhero brawn. The buff specimen of body-building first bore his rippling chest and arms as Johnny Storm (a.k.a. The Human Torch) in The Fantastic Four (2005) and again in The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). He lost the spandex for a few years, but last summer fans got him and his bulging pecs back in Captain America: The First Avenger, which arrived to mixed reviews. The silver lining? He reprised his role for The Avengers and did again for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
