The Forge FC players may already be some of your heroes, but have you ever wondered which Marvel superheroes they most resemble? On Saturday, July 27, at Tim Hortons Field, Forge FC is set to host an exciting Marvel Superhero Match against Halifax Wanderers FC, so we took the time to highlight which members of Forge FC are most like a Marvel Superhero.
Kyle Bekker – Captain America
This may seem like the obvious choice but that is what makes it the right choice. Kyle Bekker embodies the spirit of Captain America with his unwavering courage, integrity, and leadership. Just like Captain America, Bekker isn’t just about abilities; he’s about upholding ideals and leading by example. Bekker consistently shows courage by putting himself in front of the ball and taking on the heat of the game head-on, often finding himself in seemingly unmatched situations but always emerging victorious. His integrity fosters trust among his teammates, as he skillfully directs play and ensures the ball moves seamlessly through him. As a leader both on and off the field, Bekker supports his teammates and leads by example, making him the perfect Captain America for Forge FC.
Alexander Achinioti-Jonsson – Thor
Alexander Achinioti-Jönsson channels the essence of Thor with his impressive blend of physical prowess and psychological strength. With his long, flowing hair and Nordic characteristics, he embodies the visual image of the Asgardian hero. Achinioti-Jönsson’s immense physical durability makes his presence known on the pitch, as he has played every minute of every match for the club this year. His fearlessness mirrors Thor’s valour in battle, as he fearlessly tackles challenges and clears the ball with thunderous force. Achinioti-Jönsson truly brings the thunder to Forge FC, much like Thor does to the Avengers.
Beni Badibanga – Black Panther
Béni Badibanga parallels Black Panther with his leadership, wisdom, and extraordinary skills. Entering midway through his second season with Forge FC, Badibanga has over 200 matches played across the world under his belt, naturally stepping into a leadership role. He consistently creates big chances and is always involved in key plays, leading the way whenever he’s on the field. With a professional career starting in 2015, Badibanga possesses a wealth of wisdom to share with the younger players. His swiftness and agility, reminiscent of Black Panther, enables him to perform skill moves that leave defenders in the dust and make game-changing plays, seemingly out of nowhere.
Coach Bobby Smyrniotis – Nick Fury
Coach Bobby Smyrniotis is the Nick Fury of Forge FC, combining intelligence, masterful tactics, and exceptional leadership. Much like Nick Fury, Smyrniotis demonstrates keen strategic thinking by analyzing complex situations and devising effective solutions, whether in daily training or during a match. His tactical acumen is evident in his winning mindset and ability to formulate plans to defeat any opponent, including the recently defeated Major League Soccer club Toronto FC. Smyrniotis inspires his team to excel against even the toughest opponents, pushing them to work hard and give their best every day.
