Who am I?

I am a great supervillain

wearing black and white.

Hello, I'm Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

Best scripted to lose the fight.

+++

Who am I?

I am Manchester City's shadow

A football team no one could stop.

Hello, I'm the Arsenal Gunners,

Who just can’t finish on top.

+++

Who am I?

I read aloud "The Great Gatsby,"

but clearly, this takes no talent.

Hello, I'm Andy Kaufman,

and I've never won a vocal challenge.

+++

Who am I?

I play a huge starring role,

but James Bond foils me in the end.

Hello, I'm the man with the golden gun

who will unwisely try, and try again.
