Colts' Andrew Luck is a beast, but we knew that

Andrew Luck. We adore you.

But you've been called out as a beast. And we kind of agree.

You can take it two ways. You're a beast on the field and, these days, being that kind of beast is a good thing.

Or you can take it the way NFL Memes meant it, as it revealed its 16 NFL stars as super heroes list. They combined popular football players with popular heroes from cartoons and movies.

And they have you morphed into the Beast – as in that Marvel Comics character who is a mutant possessing ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility and oversized hands and feet.

You look a bit weird. You're dressed in what looks like an Elvis-type black leather suit with the Indianapolis Colts logo, of course. You're short, kind of pudgy looking.

Your furry blue chest is exposed and the dark hair atop your head? Well, you can't tell where it ends and the neard begins.

NFL Memes meant it in the kindest of ways. Only the best NFL guys were compared to super heroes.

But some ended up looking a bit more intimidating and less bizarre than you.

Take former Colt and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, he's Iron Man. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is Batman. New England Patriots Rob Gronkowski is Thor. And Houston Texans J.J. Watt is Captain America.

It's OK Andrew, you may be a weird looking beast, but you're still our hero.
