** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' is based on the ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaWinterSoldier'' storyline from Creator/EdBrubaker's run on ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica2005'', but ComicBook/CaptainAmerica sports his ''ComicBook/SecretAvengers'' costume, while ComicBook/TheFalcon looks like his ComicBook/{{Ultimate|Marvel}} incarnation. The storyline also has elements of [[spoiler:the "S.H.I.E.L.D. Gone Bad" storylines ''ComicBook/NickFury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.'' and ''ComicBook/SecretWarriors'', due to Alexander Pierce taking on the role of Aleksander Lukin as Winter Soldier's handler, and also that like in the latter story, ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} is the one infiltrating SHIELD]].

* The first season of ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' adapts elements of Creator/GrantMorrison's ''Comicbook/NewXMen'' run (namely [[spoiler:Scott having a MentalAffair with a female psychic and Genosha being destroyed by Sentinels]]), but also takes elements from ''Comicbook/{{Inferno|1988}}'' ([[spoiler:the female psychic in question turning out to be Madeline Pryor, a clone of Jean who becomes the Goblin Queen]]) and ''/Operation Zero Tolerance'' ([[spoiler:as the aforementioned massacre turns out to be part of a broader conspiracy by Bastion to wipe out all mutants]]).

* Season 3 of ''Series/Daredevil2015'' is heavily based on Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/BornAgain'' storyline (the Kingpin systematically destroys Matt Murdock's life, including using an impostor to frame Daredevil for violent crimes, implicating Matt in corruption and having him driven into a river in a stolen cab), but also borrows elements from "Guardian Devil" (Matt confronting Sister Maggie after learning she's his mother, and a fateful showdown between Daredevil and Bullseye in a church [[spoiler: that leaves one of Matt's allies dead]]) and "Out" (the Kingpin cutting a deal with the FBI in order to get released from prison).
* ''Series/WandaVision'' is based on ''ComicBook/TheVisionAndTheScarletWitch'' (focus on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Wanda and Vision's relationship]], Wanda meeting a male family member, Wanda giving birth to her twins), [[ComicBook/TheVision2015 Vision's 2015-2016 run]] (where he and his family lives in a StepfordSuburbia, and a dog in the family is named Sparky), and ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' (Wanda going mad with her [[RealityWarper reality-warping powers]]).
* ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' pulls from Nick Spencer's ''ComicBook/{{Captain America|SamWilson}}'' run (namely Sam Wilson becoming the new Captain America and having to deal with the political minefield that comes with the legacy), but also draws heavily from Mark Gruenwald's 80s ''Captain America'' run, ([[ComicBook/USAgent John Walker]] being appointed by the government as the new Captain America and subsequently needing to be stopped after going insane from the pressure).
* The ''Series/Hawkeye2021'' miniseries is primarily based on Creator/MattFraction and David Aja's run of the ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye|2012}}'' comics. However, the show also features Echo from the ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' comics, and incorporates plot points from her introductory storyline.

* The ''ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse'' combines characters and backstories from Creator/MarvelComics and Creator/DCComics into a new shared universe. For example:
** Super Soldier is a combination of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and Franchise/{{Superman}}.
** Dark Claw is a combination of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and Franchise/{{Batman}}.
** Iron Lantern is ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/GreenLantern.
** Lobo the Duck is ComicBook/HowardTheDuck [[CrackPairing and]] ComicBook/{{Lobo}}.
** Captain Marvel is ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}} and [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]].
** Bruce Wayne, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. has [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]] [[ComicBook/NickFury running]] ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} and fighting the Green Skull, a combination of the ComicBook/RedSkull and ComicBook/LexLuthor.
* ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' adapts, reformulates and mixes elements and stories from all the long history of Marvel Comics. From the Fantastic Four to Cable, from Galactus to the Clone saga, anything is fair game.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderManLifeStory'' averts ComicBookTime and combines several iconic stories each decade.
** Part 2 adapts ''The Amazing Spider-Man #136'' (Harry Osborn succeeding his father as the new Goblin, in this case Black Goblin), ''The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.1 #257 & #258'' (ComicBook/{{Mary Jane|Watson}} uncovering Peter's SecretIdentity), ''[[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga The First Clone Saga]]'' (Ben Reilly's introduction, Miles Warren cloning ComicBook/GwenStacy [[StalkerWithACrush for himself]]), and ''ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied'' (the obvious, Peter and MJ getting closer).
** Part 3 adapts the first ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|1984}}'' (the chapter opens with Peter participating in said war) and mostly ''ComicBook/KravensLastHunt'', with the ending taking heavy cues from ''Amazing Spider-Man #299'' (ComicBook/{{Venom}} looking for a new host after parting ways with Spidey, [[spoiler:in this case [[Characters/MarvelComicsKravenTheHunter Kraven the Hunter]]]]).
** Part 4 adapts ''[[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga The Second Clone Saga]]'' (Ben Reilly becoming Spider-Man) and ''The Spectacular Spider-Man #200'' ([[spoiler:Harry's RedemptionEqualsDeath]]).
** Part 5 adapts ''The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 2 #30'' (Morlun's introduction story), ''Spider-Man: The Other'' (Morlun hunting for Peter to feed on him), ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'', and ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl'' (Peter and MJ's daughter becoming her own superhero).
** Part 6 adapts ''Emperor Doom'' (ComicBook/DoctorDoom being the GreaterScopeVillain after successfully [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]]), ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan2013'' (Doc Ock [[GrandTheftme hijacking Spider-Man's body]], [[spoiler:in this case [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]]]]), and ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan2000'' ([[spoiler:Peter [[TheHeroDies dying]] and Miles becoming his LegacyCharacter]]).

** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' combines Peter Parker's origin story with the Lizard story, which never appeared in Spidey's origin, as well as elements from ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', mainly the fact that Oscorp was where Spider-Man got his powers from and his parents being scientists instead of super spies like in the mainstream comics.

** ''Film/SpiderMan2'' is adapted from ''If This Be My Destiny...!'' (ComicBook/DoctorOctopus' OriginStory) and mainly ''Spider-Man No More!'' (dealing with Peter's TenMinuteRetirement due to the stress of his responsibilities), with a dash of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' sprinkled in (Peter and Otto's student-mentor relationship). The element of Peter surpressing his powers because of the stress of his civil life is taken from ''The Amazing Spider-Man Annual 1'' (which famously features the first appearance of the Sinister Six who kidnapped Aunt May and Betty Brandt. While no villain other than Ock appears here, he ''does'' in fact kidnap Aunt May).
