Do you mean the best actor who has played a comic book character, or the best comic book role played by an actor?

While not thrilled with S3, props to Tobey Maguire. Not only did he inhabit the character (as unlikely as that seemed) and jumpstart the franchise, but then Spiderman's success revitalized the whole genre.

Christopher Reeve is always going to be the definite Superman. Always.
Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman
Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man (more Peter then Spidey)

Oh, and Christopher Reeve is a given.

Hero: Christopher Reeve, although I really dig Bale as Batman too.
Villain: Alfred Molina was amazing as Doc Ock. Runner up would be McKellan's Magneto. Both powerful performances.

I agree with a lot mentioned already. Christopher Reeve, Ian Mckellan, Tobey Maguire, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Wesley Snipes, Alfred Molina, Christian Bale, Ron Perlman, Jack Nicholson...all excellent as the characters.
I also liked Liam Neeson (Ras Al Ghul), Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow), Rebbecca Romain (Mystique), Colin Farrel (Bullseye) Ray Park (Toad). And Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman was just amazing. Man she looked good in that costume.
I think a couple of the worst were Tyler Mane (Sabretooth....just nothing near as good as the comic book character) and Vinny Jones (Juggernaut.....see Tyler Mane).
