How to cast Java class to another class

I use a method to collect all classes from a package and save them into an array:

Class[] classes = ClassUtils.getClasses("xyz.keahie.werewolf.character.characters");

They all have the class "Character" as superclass and when I print them I get this line:

class xyz.keahie.werewolf.character.Character

When I want to cast them to the class "Character" I always get an ClassCastException. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Here is the full Error which I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Class cannot be cast to xyz.keahie.werewolf.character.Character
    at xyz.keahie.werewolf.character.CharacterManager.<init>(CharacterManager.java:29)
    at xyz.keahie.werewolf.GameManager.<init>(GameManager.java:26)
    at xyz.keahie.werewolf.Game.main(Game.java:9)

And here my source code:

Class[] classes = ClassUtils.getClasses("xyz.keahie.werewolf.character.characters");
for (Class clazz : classes) {
    Object object = clazz.getSuperclass();
    System.out.println(object.toString());

    if (object.getClass().equals(xyz.keahie.werewolf.character.Character.class)) {
        System.out.println("Yes");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Nope");
    }

    Character character = (Character) object;
    if (!this.characters.contains(character)) {
        addSpecialCharacter(character);
    }
}

Sorry for the missing information at the begin
