Tony Khan’s Unique DC-Inspired Comparison
Without hesitation, Tony Khan compared AEW stars to DC characters, drawing parallels between their personalities, stories, and in-ring behavior. According to Khan, Jon Moxley represents Batman, Tony Storm fits perfectly as Wonder Woman, Hangman Adam Page embodies Superman, and MJF captures the essence of Lex Luthor.
The comparisons make sense to anyone familiar with both AEW and the DC Universe. Just like Batman, Moxley walks his own path — brooding, independent, and always ready to fight injustice in his own way. Storm, meanwhile, brings power, grace, and dominance to the women’s division, much like Wonder Woman herself.
Hangman Adam Page as AEW’s Superman
When asked about Hangman Adam Page, Tony Khan’s choice of Superman turned heads but also resonated with fans. Page represents AEW’s moral compass — a pure-hearted hero who battles his own doubts but always rises for what’s right. His journey from self-doubt to redemption mirrors Superman’s own internal struggles to balance power with responsibility.
Page’s connection with the AEW audience remains strong, and much like Superman’s role in the Justice League, Hangman often stands at the heart of AEW’s biggest storylines. His strength, courage, and authenticity make him one of AEW’s most relatable stars — a true “Man of Steel” inside the squared circle.
MJF as Lex Luthor – The Perfect Rival
Khan’s most talked-about comparison came when he named MJF as Lex Luthor, the iconic villain of the DC Universe. Just like Luthor, MJF uses intelligence, manipulation, and charisma to stay one step ahead of his rivals. He’s the scheming genius who always finds a way to outsmart his opponents — a trait that perfectly defines his run as one of AEW’s most compelling world champions.
Fans instantly flooded social media platforms, agreeing that MJF’s sharp mind and ruthless attitude fit Lex Luthor more than anyone else in the wrestling world. Whether he’s cutting promos or making strategic alliances, MJF continues to prove he’s not just a talker — he’s a master manipulator with championship-level brilliance.
Jon Moxley and Tony Storm Lead AEW’s Heroic Side
Khan’s picks for Moxley and Storm also reflect AEW’s diversity of personalities. Jon Moxley as Batman symbolizes chaos balanced by justice — the man who will go to any length for what he believes is right, even if it costs him everything. His brutal style, fearless energy, and “no rules” approach make him the Dark Knight of professional wrestling.
On the other hand, Tony Storm as Wonder Woman highlights AEW’s focus on strong female characters. Storm’s confidence, leadership, and willingness to break barriers echo the Amazon warrior’s iconic spirit. Her run as AEW Women’s World Champion has solidified her position as one of the most powerful and respected women in the company.
Fans React and Speculate on More AEW-DC Crossovers
After this interview, fans began suggesting their own comparisons. Many online comments included ideas like Kenny Omega as The Flash, Darby Allin as Robin, or even Samoa Joe as Darkseid — showing how much AEW’s personalities align with superhero archetypes. It’s another example of how wrestling and pop culture continue to connect deeply with audiences worldwide.
Conclusion
Tony Khan compares AEW stars to DC characters in a way that highlights the larger-than-life personas AEW has built since its debut. From Moxley’s Batman-like grit to MJF’s Lex Luthor brilliance, Khan’s picks remind fans that professional wrestling isn’t just about fights — it’s about heroes, villains, and the stories that connect them.
