That's one hell of a mullet on Hawkeye.

Hawkeye wants someone to go back in time with him. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after you get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. He has only done this once before.

He is less lame now as Hawkeye. Think about that.

Aww you made me sad, I hadn't noticed the long hair in the back and was about to call him young Guile.

Mark Ruffalo actually looked a lot more like The Hulk when he was younger

39

u/[deleted] May 08 '12

Yeah, he really looks a lot like Ferrigno

9

u/dfassna1 May 08 '12

I remember thinking when he got cast that it was actually a good choice both for his acting ability and his looks. He really looks a good amount like The Hulk and Lou Ferrigno with the overall shape of his face and his eyebrows and nose.

We can't even hate him, his handsomeness transcends jealousy. Also, I want 1/10th of the muscle mass he has.

Is it me, or is Chris Evans bigger?

u/[deleted] May 08 '12

Shame it's not his high school photo. That looks like him when he was on Home and Away. Girls swooned over him then as well.

I'm pretty certain that is a baby picture of him.

Thank you! I thought I was going crazy. That doesn't look anything like the current RDJ. Jesus.

u/starlinguk May 08 '12

It looks like he was in the "holy shit my limbs and shit are growing all over the place and they're not matching up" stage when they took that picture. You know what I mean, boys when they're growing in their teens.

Nah, I can totally see it. Just imagine Tony Stark with zero facial hair and a look that says, "I'm going to sleep with that photographer."
