although it's not a universal rule in
general the best superhero movie
adaptations are faithful to the comic
books they're based on and that includes
in terms of the character aesthetics
however for various reasons a number of
characters and superhero movies have
been fairly recognizable in terms of
their physical appearance when compared
to the source material in most cases
this results in a fan backlash which
kind of makes you wonder why the movie
makers thought it was a good idea to
change the way they look in the first
place in this video we'll take a look at
some of the most extreme examples here
are 10 superhero movie characters who
look nothing like the comics Wolverine
Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is a rare
example of a superhero movie character
who was proven to be extremely popular
in spite of the fact that he doesn't
really look like his comic book
counterpart sure he's muscular has the
same hair and the claws but that's where
the physical resemblance ends Jackman is
more than 6 feet tall whereas Wolverine
classically hovers around the 5 and a
half feet mark and most notably movie
Wolverine lacks the iconic yellow
costume of comic book order still he
ain't x-men movies that Jackman has
appeared in so far would suggest that
it's done the character no harm
apocalypse it was a long wait for a
villain as monstrous as apocalypse in
the x-men movie universe so when he was
announced as the antagonist in 2016
x-men apocalypse
fans were excited unfortunately instead
of the hulking 7-foot tall
route from the comic books who's as wide
as 2 average men we were given a fairly
unintimidating villain moreover his
coloring was different instead of the
classic vibrant blue colored armor he
wore a drab greyish blue costume and in
some promo pics even looked a weird
shade of pinky purple he looks more like
a low-budget Doctor Who villain than he
did the legendary news from the comic
books
enchantress Suicide Squad is open to
some pretty scathing reviews and one of
the reasons it is being criticized is
the over-sexualization of its female
characters Cara Delevingne enchantress
is a prime example as Warner Brothers
have made her look completely different
to the comic
in order to make her sexier in the
comics enchantress classic wears a grand
green flowing dress and gown the Warner
Brothers took advantage of the fact that
gorgeous fashion model Delevingne was
portraying the character by putting her
in what was essentially a chainmail
bikini it was really quite unnecessary
and quite a lot of people have taken
offense to it Lex Luthor Superman's arch
nemesis Lex Luthor has been portrayed by
three different actors Gene Hackman
Kevin Spacey and Jesse Eisenberg in five
live-action movies and none of them have
really looked anything like the classic
comic book version they've all ended up
bald which is Luthor's most
distinguishing feature but the classic
Luthor also has very recognizable Stern
and chiseled facial features that none
of the actors who played him have
possessed he's also quite a muscular man
was actually very capable of handling
himself in physical combat and none of
the actors who have played him have had
that quality dr. doom both movie
versions of dr. doom Julianne McMahon's
and Toby Kebbell have been terrible but
McMahon's at least resembled the comic
book version of the character physically
Campbell's 2015 version however and not
so much as well as having very different
origins to the classic version of doom
Kevin's version looked absolutely
nothing like him his armor and iconic
metal mask were replaced by an all-over
metallic look that came courtesy of
being fused to his space suit his regal
green cloak was replaced as what was
essentially a dark green rag and his
entire body was covered in lacerations
that emitted a green glow reminiscent of
the environment that gave him his powers
and they certainly aren't seen on the
comic book version Hawkeye
jeremy renner has now played Clint
Barton aka Hawkeye in for MCU movies to
date and he's yet to look anything like
how the character looks in the comics
classically Hawkeye wears a purple
costume with a very striking purple mask
but the MCU version where something far
more practical it's black for starters
making it more coverts although there is
a touch of dark purple in the latest
incarnation and Civil War and most
noticeably there's no mass although to
be fair to Marvel Studios the mask
trolley wouldn't have looked great in
live-action
bullseye there wasn't much about 2003's
daredevil movie to speak positively
about it was absolutely awful and Colin
Farrell's portrayal of bullseye
epitomized that he wasn't very good in
general but the fact that he looked
nothing like the comic book version of
the character really didn't help
bullseye is known for wearing an
all-over bodysuit that includes a
headpiece with the bullseye printed on
it
Farrell's versions simply wore street
clothes a leather coat leather trousers
and a black vest although he did have a
bull's-eye shaped scar on his head like
the comic book version doesn't risk
Austin poor Ferrell looks rather stupid
to be honest aldrich killian
Guy Pearce portrayed Aldrich Killian in
2013's Iron Man 3
but this aldrich killian was different
in many ways - the version in the comic
books not least because he also claimed
to be the emcee used version of the
Mandarin however he didn't look anything
like the comic version of Killian or the
Mandarin Pierce's Killian had slicked
back blonde hair and mostly wore a suit
while the comic book version had side
parted black hair and tended to wear lab
clothes and as for not looking like the
Mandarin well the Mandarin is a Chinese
character in the comic books
and whereas gran oriental gowns and 10
rings that possess various superpowers
Pierce's character really couldn't look
less like him if he tried Galactus when
it comes to superhero movie characters
looking nothing like how they do in the
comics there's no better example than
Galactus Galactus appeared as the main
antagonist in 2007's Fantastic Four rise
of the Silver Surfer and he was about as
far removed from the gigantic humanoid
and purple armor that fans know from the
comics as it was possible to be this
version was simply an enormous world
devouring cloud with no discernible
personality or characteristics it was
arguably the worst depiction of any
comic book character on film in history
although we must admit that a planet
eating giant in purple armor might have
looked a bit silly on film - I'm kinda
lonesome back here
Deadpool the 2016 version of Deadpool
totally nailed the character in every
respect but the previous version from
2009 s x-men origins Wolverine
absolutely sucked this Deadpool was
topless war elasticated trousers had
blades protruding from his hands had his
mouth sewn shut and was covered in pen
