Grant Williams compares C's teammates to Marvel characters

Grant Williams isn't the only superhero on the Boston Celtics roster.

After nicknaming himself "Batman," Williams took it upon himself to assign Marvel Comics characters to each of his Celtics teammates. Of course, Batman is a DC character, so Williams had to switch up his nickname for the sake of this exercise.

Here's what he came up with:

Marcus Smart - The Incredible Hulk

Al Horford - Captain America

Jaylen Brown - Black Panther

Aaron Nesmith - Drax

Sam Hauser - Hawkeye

Luke Kornet - Groot

Nik Stauskas - Ant-Man

Rob Williams - Thor

Daniel Theis - Captain Marvel

"One of the most hated movies, but we appreciate him," Williams said.

Jayson Tatum - Vision

"Most powerful, most important in most movies."

Payton Pritchard - Quicksilver

Matt Ryan - Star-Lord

Malik Fitts - Dr. Strange

Brodric Thomas - Rocket

Derrick White - Iron Man

"I just found out I was Iron Man and I'll take it," White said. "I'm not gonna complain with Iron Man, even though he died."

Grant Williams - Spider-Man

Ime Udoka - Nick Fury

Williams originally came up with the Batman nickname after an impressive performance vs. "the Joker" Nikola Jokic on Sunday. Tatum and Brown originally scoffed at Williams referring to himself as The Dark Knight, but they may have to embrace it if he keeps this up. The 23-year-old notched career-highs in points (20) and rebounds (10) in Monday night's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Avengers return home to TD Garden on Wednesday night to host the Utah Jazz. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Boston.
