* In the comics, [[ComicBook/BaronZemo Helmut Zemo]] has to wear a mask to hide his charred, hideously disfigured face. In the above-mentioned ''Civil War'', he's played by the handsome Creator/DanielBruhl without any sort of mask or facial prosthetics. He begins wearing a mask in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', and there's always the possibility his face could be burned in a future movie or TV show.

[[https://78.media.tumblr.com/cf8a14e1bc7e1e4f6ecac5b24817d51a/tumblr_n6tt3x0yYX1ry54nno4_1280.jpg This is]] Creator/TomHiddleston as Loki in the movies. Good grief. There's a reason why he has so many fangirls. Coincidentally, the Norse god of mischief was described as "pleasing and handsome" (an alternate translation is "beautiful and comely," which is closer to our modern definition of a PrettyBoy) in the [[Myth/NorseMythology original myths]]. Marvel later came up with a [[ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard younger version of Loki]]... who looks suspiciously like Tom Hiddleston.
* ComicBook/TheHulk (while DependingOnTheArtist factors) in the comics typically has a [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTheht11x4yHge5hUB_454NCWVdu64rfz-J3Q&usqp=CAU broad brutish face reminiscent]] of an ogre. In the MCU due to Creator/MarkRuffalo providing MotionCapture The Hulk’s face is far less ugly and [[https://do-slez.com/uploads/posts/2020-04/1586427065_9baa57db61c46b7bcb2b3a40e7e7045f.jpg more human looking]]. This also applies to Hulk’s alter ego Bruce Banner who's usually [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRFG2QEnOyMqQ0U2EWc9jlgR-7dkpcxWSNpBw&usqp=CAU a gangly looking man]] in the comics, but in the MCU and in the [[Film/{{Hulk}} 2003 movie]] is played by Creator/EdwardNorton, Creator/MarkRuffalo and Creator/EricBana who are far more good looking than the Dr Banner from the comics.
* The Collector as he appears in the comics has the visage of a fairly creepy-looking old man. [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTmKm7ZRwO8nJW-0QUMcXQ9lM4l5pQyezxxqWptjg8KhrbdsX8g&usqp=CAU Collector as played by]] Creator/BenicioDelToro has a more flamboyant, but still fairly handsome appearance in both ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.

* In ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'', Karl Mordo is played by Creator/ChiwetelEjiofor, a very handsome actor who has even been included in ''People Magazine'''s annual "Sexiest Man Alive" feature. This is in ''sharp'' [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTJhk-hE8s3eZsmhu32UmOFIP_ablVRsTFXKCzUwJXDJyF-Xkkh&usqp=CAU contrast to the comics]], where Mordo (especially when drawn by Creator/SteveDitko) was often depicted as an unappealing middle-aged man with a prominent widow's peak.
* Creator/MarisaTomei plays [[https://weminoredinfilm.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/wvdbgvm9lzvobtrf2n9n-e1436480031601.jpg Aunt May]], who's normally a [[AgeLift senior citizen]]. It's even acknowledged in-universe; her debut in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' inspires many compliments by Tony Stark, and ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' shows that several men in her neighborhood find her very attractive.
* ''Homecoming'' also makes the Vulture younger and better looking. Creator/MichaelKeaton may not be a spring chicken, but the comic version of the Vulture is usually depicted as a wrinkled old man with a large, bird-like nose and a scrawny physique.
* In the comics, [[ComicBook/BaronZemo Helmut Zemo]] has to wear a mask to hide his charred, hideously disfigured face. In the above-mentioned ''Civil War'', he's played by the handsome Creator/DanielBruhl without any sort of mask or facial prosthetics. He begins wearing a mask in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', and there's always the possibility his face could be burned in a future movie or TV show.
* Likewise, ComicBook/{{Hela}}’s CoolHelmet and mask [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRyWEsk8xveNdZXERhjIB7oGjHXEMo2KVx8HHaG4IULdGmX7NOK&usqp=CAU hide her decaying, corpse-like face in the comics]]. In ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', she's played by Creator/CateBlanchett, and is quite beautiful even when not wearing the helmet.
* In the comics, [[Comicbook/{{Killmonger}} Erik Killmonger]] is a hulking and brutish ScaryBlackMan with an almost [[https://terrigen-cdn-dev.marvel.com/content/prod/1x/108kmg_com_mas_mob_04.jpg cartoonishly muscular physique]]. In the ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' movie, he's played by Creator/MichaelBJordan, who, while still ripped, is far slimmer and has a much more attractive face. The same goes for M’Baku, who is played by the ruggedly handsome Creator/WinstonDuke, while in the comics he’s [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTCdKWaeaCzoJKMFv5G8z3sCTX16cD7Mt-x-B42PJBfk1e459Ai&usqp=CAU a monstrous man in white gorilla skin]]. These changes were done to avoid the UnfortunateImplications of portraying African men in such a manner.
* The Grandmaster of the comics is [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/1/11352/1223117-a69_grandmaster.jpg blue-skinned with a large, balding head]]. In ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' he's played by launcher of a thousand "Daddy" memes Creator/JeffGoldblum, with his natural skin color untouched (so as not to look too similar to his ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy'' character -- also a blue extraterrestrial -- according to the director) and silvery hair intact.
* Much like the Hulk, ComicBook/{{Thanos}} isn’t really a looker in the comics being born with the Deviant Syndrome, his mother tried to kill him as soon as she laid eyes on him. In most depictions Thanos has [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQBCSKck5AHXeDOp1wRQMAc0_58VgpP0G4nbQ&usqp=CAU unsettling features]] with GlowingEyesOfDoom and a SlasherSmile whereas in the MCU thanks to Creator/JoshBrolin’s mocapping Thanos has quite the [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRoa3Uc6MRQ--xRm51zNK5ieSbq8gAY8h1ZSw&usqp=CAU rugged face]] with normal eyes.
* In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} is portrayed by the attractive actor Creator/JakeGyllenhaal, a sharp contrast from his comic book counterpart, a short, [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSsCSQMaBqabRxleoycDoOD9Jnp9IYH-a8G1g&usqp=CAU ugly middle-aged man]]. One wonders if the reason movie Mysterio has an AdaptationalJobChange is that absolutely no one would buy Jake Gyllenhaal being too ugly for Hollywood.
* In both Thor and ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', Frigga is depicted as [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlay5nLd5JNOpuyGQn3j4dQlNKHP3FRUFb8w&usqp=CAU having long blonde hair]] as opposed to her comic book incarnation which is depicted as having [[https://i.pinimg.com/474x/27/1b/f8/271bf8c85a410141299351aa154c8e36.jpg gray hair styled into braids]].

* In ''Film/BlackWidow2021'' Melina Vostokoff is played by the very beautiful Creator/RachelWeisz, who notably lacks the [[Franchise/GIJoe Destro]]-esque [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXWzrM8MQPCAgNKmu2N_PaG_q_Hf3ghyXRlA&usqp=CAU metallic face]] of her comic version.
