Comic book movies often make some pretty dramatic changes to the characters they depict, and while these alterations can often negatively impact the story they're trying to tell, in many cases, the character in question is actually improved by a movie change. The best comic book movies walk the fine line between respecting their source material and making meaningful changes befitting the translation to the silver screen.
9 Namor Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Namor the Submariner has always rode a fine line between hero and villain in the comics, but Black Panther: Wakanda Forever expands upon his backstory in an intriguing way. In reality, Namor began his comic career as Altantean royalty, similarly to the more famous nautical DC hero, Aquaman. Frequently coming into conflict with the surface world, Namor simultaneously battled and teamed up with everyone from The Human Torch to the X-Men and the Avengers.
7 Iron Man Iron Man Even the Marvel Cinematic Universe's flagship character didn't survive the translation to the screen without some severe changes. Originally, Iron Man was created as a challenge by Stan Lee to get audiences to love a hero with a very loathsome personality. In the comics, Tony Stark is indeed far easier to hate, making some alarmingly questionable moral decisions, especially in the original Civil War storyline.
5 Star-Lord Guardians of the Galaxy The Guardians of the Galaxy were quite an obscure superhero team at the time of their induction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With so few fans having hardset expectations on the characters, director James Gunn was able to make some pressing alterations to the various members' backstories. While Drax may be the most different from his comic counterpart, it's hard to say that Star-Lord's changes weren't strictly for the better.
