Keith Richards – Iron Men of Rock

OK, yes, he's looking more and more like a 'Lord of the Rings' character than a strapping superhero, but our guess is that Keith Richards will be here long after our current fascination with 'Iron Man' has faded away.

Last we heard, this uncurable thrill-seeker had run out of every way to get his kicks except for intentional exhaustion. Like any superhero, however, he has a curious weakness -- falling out of trees.
