** Bishop is a combination of his own comic book counterpart and the adult Kate Pryde, both of whom come from very similar futures where mutants are persecuted. The storyline that introduces Bishop in the cartoon is an adaptation of ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast'' with Bish in the time-traveler role, while also roping in his own origin of travelling to the present-day to seek out a possible traitor among the X-Men (who turns out to be Mystique disguised as Gambit, which also plays heavily into ''DOFP'' where she is the main villain). [[spoiler:SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' sees also sees Bishop take Jen Askani's role as the one who takes a techno-organic virus-infected baby Nathan Summers to the future, where he'll grow up to become Cable.]]

* In ''VideoGame/IronMan3TheOfficialGame'', Aldrich Killian becomes ComicBook/{{MODOK}} after [[BrainUploading uploading his mind]] into an android body.


Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' also has a ton of unlockable [[WholeCostumeReference costumes]] for the Marvel characters that are taken from other, unplayable heroes. For example, you can unlock the Sam Alexander ComicBook/{{Nova}} costume for Richard Rider, the [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Iron Patriot]] suit for ComicBook/IronMan, ComicBook/ThePunisher's post-''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' duds for ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and so on.
* ''VideoGame/MidnightSuns'':
** In the comics, Caretaker was was two people, a [[Really700YearsOld very long lived]] old man and [[AffirmativeActionLegacy his granddaughter and successor Sister Sara]]. The game's version has the gender and name of Sara, but the long-lived background and physical age of her grandfather.
** [[spoiler:Mephisto replaces Belasco as the demon who kidnapped a young Illyana Rasputin and who formerly ruled Limbo until she drove him out.]]
* ''VideoGame/SpiderManInsomniac''
** ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' does this to Mr. Negative simply by having Martin Li being the character's real name, as opposed to the comics where a Triad member pulled a DeadPersonImpersonation on a dead guy the organization intended to sell into slavery.
** ''[[Videogame/MarvelsSpiderMan2 Spider-Man 2]]'' has several examples:
*** [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Venom}} is Harry Osborn rather than Eddie Brock. Early on after bonding with the symbiote, Harry's costume also resembles the more armored, militaristic iteration of the suit worn by Flash Thompson as Agent Venom.]]
*** [[spoiler:ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson becomes the game universe's version of Scream after being forcibly bonded to a symbiote by Harry.]]
* ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions'':
** While the ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} in the ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' universe still retains his costume from the canon version of that universe, his personality is more akin to the classic Deadpool.
** While retaining much of the history of the classic ''ComicBook/Marvel2099'' universe, Kron Stone is Scorpion, like in the ''Timestorm 2009-2099'' miniseries rather than ComicBook/{{Venom}}.
* In the first ''VideoGame/XMenLegends'', Allison Crestmere (Magma of the ComicBook/NewMutants) is given the powers of her comic counterpart, but a personality and background similar to Comicbook/KittyPryde. The developers admitted that they wanted to use Kitty Pryde, but her powers don't translate well to an action RPG.
** This also applies to most of the characters that appear in the game, as they appear with their mainstream "Earth 616" personalities and backstories, but start by default with their Ultimate appearances. The sequel also adds ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' into the mix.
** It's ''really'' hard to combine AOA and 616 ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}. Blink sees him as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold because "Mr. Creed" rescued her once (purely out of the goodness of his heart, which would be in-character for AOA). Your character is more familiar with a 616 Sabretooth, saying "If he's got a good heart, it's because he ripped it out of someone's chest!" It really is as if you've met two different Victor Creeds. All the other cast members, though, are the straight-up 616 versions wearing the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel costumes.
** Dark Beast is another example. In the comics, Dark Beast is Beast's EvilCounterpart from the ''Age of Apocalypse'' universe who ended up on the mainstream Marvel Universe. In the game, Dark Beast is the original ComicBook/{{Beast|Marvel Comics}} after he's {{Brainwashed}}.
* ''VideoGame/XMenOriginsWolverine'':
** In a non-character example, the game depicts adamantium as coming from a meteorite that crashed somewhere in Africa and was subsequently guarded by the tribesmen who found it, some of whom now possess powerful weapons and supernatural abilities. None of these things are associated with adamantium in the comics (which was created in a lab and doesn't exist in nature), but are very reminiscent of vibranium, the fictional metal from the ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'' series.
** Bolivar Trask had his right hand cut off by Logan long ago and now seeks to kill him in the present, a backstory taken from Professor Thorton in the comics.

** Related to the Kingpin undergoing this, Fallon, the crime boss from early in the film, combines the roles of Roscoe "the Fixer" Sweeney as the man who ordered the death of Jack Murdock and [[spoiler:Don Rigoletto as the former boss of the future Kingpin.]]



* In ''Film/GhostRider2007'', Johnny Blaze not only takes on qualities of [[ComicBook/GhostRider his comic namesake]], but also his successor Danny Ketch (such as his chain weapon and Penance Stare). His father Barton Blaze also supplants "Crash" Simpson in [[spoiler: being the one whom Johnny tried to save with his DealWithTheDevil.]]

*** Peter B Parker's young daughter is named Mayday, which is the name of Peters daughter from an [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 alternate future]] in the comics. However she shares many traits with Annie-May, another potential daughter of spider-man from the comics. She has ginger hair instead of black, gained her powers at a young age, fights alongside her dad at a young age, and her knitted Spider-Man hat closely resembles the mask Annie-May wore as Spiderling. Also, on a more meta level, Peter B Parker was originally a version of Peter who had divorced MJ, but thanks to miles he got back together with her and had Mayday as a result. Annie-May came from the ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManRenewYourVows universe, where ComicBook/OneMoreDay, the comic story that erased Peter and MJ's marriage, never happened.
