* Wong is a more minor if important character in Doctor Strange's supporting cast in the comics which also gets criticized for it's stereotypical portrayal as an Asian servant of the American sorcerer. [[Film/DoctorStrange The first ''Doctor Strange''-movie]] however modernized the character. The reaction for Wong and his portrayal by Creator/BenedictWong was succesful enough that Wong returns in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness''and ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', making him one of the MCU-characters that appears in the most different franchises inside the MCU. He even holds the mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme, a title usually taken by Strange in the comics, here. His on-screen career is more impressive considering [[https://comicbook.com/marvel/amp/news/doctor-strange-director-admits-wong-wasnt-originally-part-of-the/ he wasn't even originally planned to be included in ''Doctor Strange'']].

* In ''Guardians Of The Galaxy'', Cosmo The Space Dog is seen in a non-speaking appearance as part of the Collector's collection, escaping the captivity in TheStinger of said movie. The appearance seems not to be more than an easter egg for comic book fans as this dog neither speaks nor shows his comic book powers. Cosmo returns in ''Film/TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxyHolidaySpecial'' - [[GenderFlip now revealed to be female in the MCU]] - in a speaking role actually interacting with the Guardians and revealing her telekinetic powers. She's also set to return in the upcoming ''Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3]].

** [[spoiler:Laura Barton. She was a very minor character in ''Comicbook/TheUltimates'' who only appeared in two issues, and is most notable for [[StuffedIntoTheFridge dying to advance]] ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'s storyline. She is not only alive in the movie, but has a fairly sizable role and gets some great lines]].

* ''Iron Man 2'': [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0970642/ Jack White]] was originally hired as the food stylist who prepared and served the salmon carpaccio to Vanko in the aircraft hangar, but he ended up appearing in several scenes as [[TheDanza Jack]], Hammer's assistant.
* In the comics, ComicBook/PeggyCarter is, at best, an important footnote to Steve and his primary love interest, [[ComicBook/{{Agent 13}} Sharon Carter]]. In the films, though, she's become one of the most prominent supporting characters, even after ''Captain America: The First Avenger'' seemingly concluded any more adventures in the 40s. The first issue of the 2011 ''Captain America'' series even uses her death from old age as a jumping-off point specifically because she'd now be familiar to audiences. It's worth noting that the filmmakers have tried to use Peggy in every single (Earth-bound) MCU vehicle after ''The First Avenger''. Creator/JossWhedon wrote a scene for her in ''The Avengers'', and she has cameos in ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'', ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', ''Age of Ultron'', and ''Ant-Man'', plus, she took center stage in ''Agent Carter'', which was such a huge hit that it [[SpinOff spun off]] into her own regular TV series. Even the first episode of ''What If...?'' has an alternate version of Peggy known as Captain Carter as the main protagonist.
* In Creator/WarrenEllis' ''Extremis'' story, Aldrich Killian only appeared in two pages before committing suicide. In ''Iron Man 3'' he's the [[spoiler: ManBehindTheMan and the true BigBad of the film]]. He's also [[AdaptationalAttractiveness much sexier]] to boot.

* ''Ant-Man'':

* ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'':

* Kraglin had barely a handful of lines in ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'' and accomplished no more than the nameless Ravagers. In ''Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2'', he plays an important part in both Taserface's mutiny and [[spoiler:Yondu's subsequent escape, and effectively becomes the Guardians's getaway pilot during the fight with Ego. He also has a large role in Yondu's funeral]].

* The Stark Industries scientist William Ginter Riva (played by Peter Billingsley) only appears in one scene in ''Iron Man'', in which Obadiah Stane yells at him for not being able to miniaturize Tony Stark's arc reactor. In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', he's now [[spoiler:Mysterio's chief programmer.]]
* Most of the characters in ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D'', by necessity. Because almost any character with any real prominence in the comics has been earmarked for use in the films or Creator/{{Netflix}} shows, AOS largely has to deal with obscure barrel-scrapers who never got much page time in the comics. For instance, despite only ever appearing in just over a dozen or so comic issues before the show, Lance Hunter is one of the main characters.

* ''Series/LukeCage'':

* A goal of the Marvel content on Creator/DisneyPlus is to take characters who had previously only existed as sidekicks or in team-up films like Comicbook/TheFalcon, [[Comicbook/BuckyBarnes Winter Soldier]], Comicbook/ScarletWitch, Comicbook/TheVision, Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} and Comicbook/WarMachine and give them starring roles in [[Series/WandaVision their own]] [[Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier shows]].

* Comicbook/{{Nebula|Marvel Comics}}'s role as TheDragon in the first ''Guardians of The Galaxy'' film was relatively minor; she had maybe a dozen lines, and was there primarily so Gamora had someone interesting to fight. She has an expanded role in ''Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2'' -- and then [[spoiler:becomes one of the main ensemble in ''Avengers Endgame'', and the catalyst for the third act.]]

* Kraglin had barely a handful of lines in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and accomplished no more than the nameless Ravagers.

He also has a large role in Yondu's funeral]].

* Agent Phil Coulson is one of the most triumphant examples ever. He started out as a minor comic relief character in the first ''Iron Man'' movie. His popularity led to his role becoming recurring in ''Iron Man 2'' and ''Thor''. Then he became the main character of two of the Marvel One Shots short films. Then he got a role in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' animated series and became a CanonImmigrant to the main 616 universe in the comics. Then he got a much bigger role in ''The Avengers'', even appearing on some versions of the poster. And now [[spoiler: he's BackFromTheDead]] and is starring in [[Series/AgentsOfShield his own series]]. All within five years since his first appearance.

** While Mariah Dillard is among the main villains of season 1 and in 10 of 13 episodes, she's always forced to play second-fiddle to the main villains of Cottonmouth and Diamondback. In season 2, she is the main villain overall front and center, and the season is about her trying to stay on top as others like Luke, Misty and Bushmaster try to bring her down for various reasons. The same is true of Shades, who also gets more focus in season 2.

** D.W. Griffifth only gets a few scenes in the first season, first being seen peddling HD footage of the Incident to Harlem passerby outside Pop's, and later being used by Luke to get information on Domingo Colon's base of operations. In season 2, he's a more prominent fixture, having become Luke's videographer and now selling Luke Cage-branded merchandise out of Pop's Barbershop.

* "Happy" Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard in ''Iron Man'' played by director Creator/JonFavreau, has considerably more lines in the second movie; in addition, he gets to beat down a guard, ram [[BigBad Ivan]] with his car, and has Comicbook/BlackWidow (aka Creator/ScarlettJohansson) put him in a headlock with her legs.

* Maria Rambeau is an extremely minor character in the comics, but plays a major role in the ''Captain Marvel'' movie, where she's Carol's {{Heterosexual Life Partner|s}}.
* The Stark Industries scientist William Ginter Riva only appears in one scene in ''Iron Man'', in which Obadiah Stane yells at him for not being able to miniaturize Tony Stark's arc reactor. In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', he's now [[spoiler:Mysterio's chief programmer.]]

* ''Luke Cage'':

*** Hope Van Dyne is an extremely minor character from the comics, and only appeared in the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' continuity. Here she's promoted to major character status and is effectively the film's female lead. She becomes the new Wasp in TheStinger, and even gets her name in the title of the sequel.
*** Likewise, Darren Cross doesn't have the same scale of villainy in the comics as he does as the movie's BigBad. He's also [[AdaptationalBadass MUCH cooler looking]] in the movie.
** ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'':
*** ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, the Avenger that got the least amount of screentime in the previous movie, gets a considerably larger role in the sequel. [[spoiler:His family is even briefly shown]].
*** J.A.R.V.I.S. in a sense, he ascends from an A.I. created for the MCU to become [[spoiler: ComicBook/TheVision]].
*** Dr. Helen Cho. In the comics, she's an extremely minor PosthumousCharacter, and is only notable for being the mother of Amadeus Cho. Here, she's more fleshed out and [[spoiler: takes Phineas Horton's place as the creator of the Vision]].
