The 9 Best Marvel & DC Superheroes Who Ride Motorcycles

Of all the weapons, powers, and vehicles that are at the disposal of superheroes, none are as impressive as some of the motorcycles that have been created. There’s something about the motorcycle that commands the respect of all who see it. The heroes on this list know that all too well. 

From Captain America to Batman, these 10 superheroes know the power that’s associated with a good bike. In fact, they know it so well that they’ve inspired me to create a top 10 list of the best superheroes that ride motorcycles. 

Just so that there’s no confusion, this list doesn’t only focus on comic books. Instead, it opts to include motorcycles from the various mediums that superheroes appear in. This means that you will see bikes from all television, movies, and comic books. So, with that, I present to you the 10 best superheroes that ride motorcycles in Marvel and DC universes.

9. Spider-Man

If there was ever a blatant attempt at making money, it's Spider-Man’s motorcycle. Yes, you read that right. Sadly, Spider-Man is one of the superheroes who ride motorcycles. Because, why not?

Spider-Man is an immensely popular character for Marvel and they know it. As such, the company has done some questionable things with the character. Some, the Black Costume, for example, have worked out extremely well for Marvel. And others, like the Motorcycle, have left fans scratching their heads. As a hero who can do everything that a spider can, why would he need a motorcycle?

Think about that for a moment. Really, think about that. Spider-Man swings around New York to beat the traffic below. Why would he want to hop on a bike and get ingested by it?

5. Wolverine

There are two characters in Marvel who are as synonymous with motorcycles as Los Angeles is with traffic jams. One of these characters is Wolverine.

Because he was the central piece in nearly every X-Men movie, his story is really well-known. Wolverine is a mutant who possesses the ability to heal from practically anything, (being eaten by the Hulk included), can track any person or being across the globe, and has razor-sharp adamantium claws.

When not walking on foot, Wolverine can often be found riding a motorcycle. Look no further than his many movie appearances to see examples of this. In the original X-Men movie, he stole the motorcycle from Cyclops, and in Origins: Wolverine, he used a bike to launch himself at a helicopter.

4. Batman

Over the years, Batman has had more motorcycles than my toddler toys. Well, maybe not but he has had a lot of them. Of them all, none stand out quite like his Batpod from the Christopher Nolan Trilogy. 

Although it looks clunky and was probably awful for the stuntman to drive, the Batpod was yet another bright spot in movies filled with bright spots. The bike looks like a tank, and is armed and armored like a tank, but isn’t a tank.

Instead, it’s a head-turning, jet-black, ride that only Batman would have in his arsenal of vehicles. The Batpod is such a cool piece of machinery that when it went to an auction for charity, it sold for more than $400,000. 

3. Captain America

If you’re wondering who the other Marvel superheroes who ride motorcycles are, wonder no more. Captain America has been riding motorcycles since 1941. But he hasn’t been riding just any motorcycle. No, no, no. Captain America has been riding a custom, Harley Davidson.

Throughout his comic book history, Captain America has never been too far from his bike. In fact, he often brought a van on his adventures with it inside. Like Wolverine, Cap’s bikes don’t just stay inside comics.

In nearly every movie that stars Steve Rogers, there’s a scene that shows him tearing up the streets on a bike. Remember, it was Cap that started to take down a Helicarrier from the seat of his bike.

2. Lobo

It should come as no surprise that over the years Lobo has achieved a level of popularity that some heroes never achieve. Aside from being as strong as Superman, as quick to heal as Wolverine, and as smart as Spider-Man, Lobo does what very few other heroes do...he gets the job done by any means necessary. 

Lobo is a bounty hunter, and as long as the bounty is good, he will do just about anything. With the help of his menacing Space Hog motorcycle, Lobo is able to travel through space and move faster than light. Of course, this means that no matter where his bounty is, Lobo is able to catch them.
