Of all the actors who've played Clark Kent/Superman in live-action, who looks the most like the character to you? Please note that I'm not talking about acting here, I'm just talking about who best fits your mental image of the character.

If I saw Welling in a suit, I might have to vote for him. I mean, this photoshop job is pretty spectacular:

But until he actually dons the Reds and Blues, I've gotta default to Reeve.
 
Dean Cain is the spitting image of John Byrne's Superman. Most iconic still goes to Reeve though.

BTW, who's the guy in the black t-shirt? I kid, I kid....
 
It's funny, but I find Tom Welling looks the least like Superman. If Paul Gross were younger, I'd say he'd be a good pick for the next movie.
