Halloween is just around the corner, and the costumes are coming out. Even your favorite NFL stars will be participating in the festivities. The NFL's biggest stars are always in character on the field, and have some pretty enticing alter egos you may see roaming the streets Monday night.

Here are the 25 best matches for the NFL's biggest stars.

Ben Roethlisberger

Frankenstein's Monster

Why? Somewhere on the Pittsburgh Steelers' medical staff is Dr. Frankenstein.

Every week the good doctor finds some spare parts and straps them to Ben Roethlisberger so he can go out and do his work on Sundays. Big and clunky, Roethlisberger displays his incredible strength by completing passes while mere mortals try in vain to bring him down.

Troy Polamalu

Wolfman

Why? No player in the NFL may be described as an "animal" more often than the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

Troy Polamalu pounces on his prey and will even launch himself over the offensive line to destroy the opposition.

Halloween's Michael Myers

Why? Ray Lewis is merciless.

The former Miami star has long been the biggest nightmare in the NFL for opposing ball carriers. Lewis has been stalking NFL running backs for 16 years, and incredibly has not lost a step.

Joe Flacco

Mummy

Why? Joe Flacco is tall and stiff, so it would not be a difficult transition for the Baltimore Ravens quarterback.

Plus, he always unravels at big moments.

Aaron Rogers

Brett Favre

Why? Because it would be hilarious.

Aaron Rodgers could die his hair and beard salt and pepper, throw on a No. 4 jersey and voila! Brett Favre is at it again. For kicks he could chuck candy as hard as possible at kids indiscriminately, not caring whose hands his passes land in.

Cam Newton

Tony Stark

Why? Cam Newton has gone on record saying he wants to be more than just a player, he wants to be an icon.

Robert Downey, Jr.'s Tony Stark was certainly that. Like Stark, Newton handles the media well and his wardrobe is straight out of GQ.

On the field, Newton has been a super hero for the Carolina Panthers, leaving the bad guys in the dust as he helps rebuild the franchise.

Calvin Johnson

Megatron

Why? Too big, too strong and too technologically advanced for mere humans to stop.

Darrelle Revis

Optimus Prime

Why? Because Darrelle Revis is the only person who may be able to stop Megatron.

Revis held Calvin Johnson to one catch for 13 yards in their matchup last season. Us Earthlings will have to wait until 2014 for the sequel.

Tom Brady

James Bond

Why? Tom Brady is smooth, well dressed and sleeps with whomever he pleases.

Brady has plenty of gadgets in Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and Deion Branch. Brady often will unveil a new trick to complete an impossible mission.

Ndamukong Suh

The Incredible Hulk

Why? Nothing can stop Ndamukong Suh.

The Detroit Lions' second-year star is too big and too strong. Left in his paths of destruction are discarded offensive linemen, running backs and quarterbacks.
