* Despite the use of many other characters from the comics, the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' movies also have {{Expy}}s for some characters:
** Creator/TimBurton didn't want to use Harvey Bullock in ''Film/Batman1989 '', so he created the overweight, gruff, corrupt Lt. Eckhardt.
** In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', you have Officers Stephens and Ramirez, who are Expys for Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya, with the exception being that [[spoiler: Ramirez is actually a traitor]]. Stephens on the other hand is Bullock right down to the toothpick-chewing but his name was probably changed so the film wouldn't have two characters named Harvey. (It's rumored that Ramirez was supposed to be Montoya, but was changed to an original character because [[spoiler: of the revelation that she was actually a [[AdaptationalVillainy crooked cop]].]])
* Abigail Whistler from ''Film/BladeTrinity'' was created as a stand-in for Rachel van Helsing from the comic book ''ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula''.

* General Hager from ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'' was originally supposed to be ComicBook/NickFury, but this had to be changed at the last minute due to [[ExiledFromContinuity rights issues]] ([[Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox Fox]] owns film rights to the ''FF'', while [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel Studios]] has rights to Fury). It's especially obvious since one of Hager's conversations with Mr. Fantastic is taken almost word-for-word from a conversation between Mr. Fantastic and Nick Fury in ''[[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Extinction]]''.

** Raza from the [[Film/IronMan1 first movie]] is an [[RaceLift Arabic]] Expy of Wong-Chu from the comics.
** Aldrich Killian from ''Film/IronMan3'' has almost nothing in common with his comic book counterpart, and has much more in common with Mallen, the [[SuperSerum Extremis]]-powered terrorist from Creator/WarrenEllis' ''ComicBook/IronMan'' run. [[spoiler:More significantly, he's an expy of the modern incarnation of the Mandarin; a suit-wearing criminal mastermind with dragon tattoos]].

** This film's General Zod is essentially [[Literature/BraveNewWorld Mustapha Mond]] taken to a LogicalExtreme.
** This films incarnation of Faora is closer to [[Film/SupermanII Ursa]] than the man-hating Faora from the comics. Recursive, as Ursa herself was a loose Expy of Faora.
** A huge, non-verbal bruiser distinguished by his incredible strength and loyalty to Zod? Nam-Ek is this film's stand-in for [[Film/SupermanTheMovie Non]].
** Creator/LaurenceFishburne based his Perry White on ''Series/Minutes'' member Ed Bradley. Both even have a pierced ear.
** Jenny was rumored to be a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] Jimmy Olsen, but the movie reveals her surname is "Jurwich" by the end (and high-resolution publicity shots showing her ID card will reveal this, too). Confusingly, a tie-in book ''does'' name her as "Jenny Olsen."

** The future Sentinels bear more than a passing resemblance to The Destroyer from ''Film/{{Thor}}'', with their height, metallic exterior, [[NighInvulnerable Nigh-Invulnerability]], and faces that open up to reveal a DeathRay.
** Their grey coloration, lack of facial features apart from monochromatic eyes and adaptability also evoke the version of Amazo from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
* ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'': In the comics, adamantium is a man-made metal that was created in a laboratory. The movie instead establishes that adamantium comes from a meteorite that crashed in a small African nation, where the locals worship it as a sacred treasure. That's pretty much ''exactly'' like vibranium, the Wakandan metal from the ''Comicbook/BlackPanther'' and ''Comicbook/CaptainAmerica'' comics.

* In ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch'', one Mogwai looks and acts very similarly to Stripe from ''Film/{{Gremlins}}''. The music sting, the way the camera zooms in and Gizmo's reaction all make it abundantly clear to everyone including Gizmo that, for all intents and purposes, Stripe has been reborn. (Technically, both characters are brothers, as they both popped out of Gizmo's back after he got wet, and the New Stripe has black and white fur rather than brown and white, and after he becomes a gremlin, he has a reptilian frill rather than a Mohawk. But still undeniably an expy of Stripe.)

Both are pyromaniacs who weren't very nice to begin with, but they both develop Yandere-level obsessions with a female character later on, both try to kill said female character when they refuse to reciprocate their feelings, as well as anyone else in their way. They both lose a piece of their clothing at one point, and [[spoiler: die a fiery death]]. Difference is, Mars is a bastard and he knows it, while Frollo convinces himself that he can do no wrong.
