** In the comics, Comicbook/KateBishop was still in high school when she first became a superhero. In ''Series/{{Hawkeye}}'', she's 22 in the first season.

** ''Series/{{Loki|2021}}'' casts the 52 year old Creator/OwenWilson as Mobius M. Mobius who appears to be well past his prime (though he doesn’t age) in the comics. [[PlayedWith Although]] Wilson’s Mobius has grey hair while the comic version has (receding) brown hair.

*** [[spoiler: ComicBook/CaptainMarVell was played by Creator/AnnetteBening who was around 60-61 during the filming of his first appearance. She is older than her counterpart in the comics.]]

* ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' casts the then 44-year old Creator/HughJackman as Jean Valjean. In the [[Literature/LesMiserables book]] Valjean spent 19 years in jail and by the time he got out was in he’s 50s [[spoiler: and was 64 by the time of his death]]. It is possible he is that old InUniverse, but he sure doesn’t look it.

*** [[spoiler: ComicBook/CaptainMarVell was played by Creator/AnnetteBening who was around 59-60 during the filming of his first appearance. She is older than her counterpart in the comics.]]

* ''Film/JemAndTheHolograms'': In the [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} cartoon]] all of the women are adults, though Kimber is still in her teens (either eighteen or nineteen). In the film they are very noticeably aged down into high schoolers and are explicitly referred to as under eighteen.

** ComicBook/SilverSable are a little older than Peter in the game, whereas in the comics, they're suggested to be around the same age.

** ''Series/{{Loki}}'' casts the 52 year old Creator/OwenWilson as Mobius M. Mobius who appears to be well past his prime (though he doesn’t age) in the comics. [[PlayedWith Although]] Wilson’s Mobius has grey hair while the comic version has (receding) brown hair.

* Jack [=McGee=] from ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'' was the same age as Bruce. Among the many changes made when the character was reimagined as a [[RaceLift black]] [[GenderFlip woman]] was deaging Jackie; she's still an adult in the presrnt day, but was a teenager during one of the Hulk's rampages.

* ''Series/WandaVision'': [[spoiler: In the comics, Agatha Harkness is old enough to have been alive during the sinking of Atlantis thousands of years ago, and is usually depicted as an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles. Her MCU counterpart was apparently born in the 1600s, [[YoungerThanTheyLook and physically looks to be in her 40s at the absolute oldest]].]]

* ''Series/AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall2020'': Siegfried is much older than his original counterpart. Here he was in World War One, while before he'd been described by James as just a few years older than him. Mrs. Hall is also described as in her sixties-here she's clearly not (played by 44 year old Creator/AnnaMadeley). This may have been altered to better fit actor Samuel West's age, as he's 54 (though he could pretty easily pass for [[OlderThanTheyLook a couple decades younger]]).

** The show turns ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, ComicBook/JeanGrey and ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}} into teenagers, but keeps ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, ComicBook/{{Storm}} and ComicBook/{{Beast|Marvel Comics}} as adults so that they're old enough to act as mentors to the young mutants at the Xavier Institute. It's a downplayed case for the first two since they were teens in the earliest comics, but especially notable for Beast, who was part of the original X-Men alongside Jean and Cyclops in the comics. This also makes Cyclops and the others around the same age as ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics, Boom-Boom, ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} and the rest of the ComicBook/NewMutants, who were significantly younger than most of the other X-Men in the comics (having debuted when Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Jean were all adults).

** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} in the comics is close in age to Jean and ComicBook/{{Storm}} being a grown woman, who’s explicitly older than ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics, but in the first three movies she’s a teenager the same as Iceman. This is likely due to [[CompositeCharacter combining]] her character and role with ComicBook/KittyPryde and Jubilee who only appear in later films.

** Magog was an adult former soldier Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}, but the ComicBook/{{New 52}} version of the character is a young boy with a [[SuperpoweredAlterEgo superpowered]] OlderAlterEgo a la ComicBook/{{Shazam}}.

** Christine seems to a young woman (Creator/EmmyRossum was 18 when she played her) but it’s revealed InUniverse she’s 16 [[spoiler: as her gravestone says she was born in 1854, and the beginning the movie shows the setting as 1870]] which does unfortunately make her older suitors Raoul and the Phantom’s courtship of her, pretty quite icky (ValuesDissonance notwithstanding). This is actually OlderThanTheyThink as the Lofficier translation of Gaston Leorux’s [[Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera novel]] says Christine is 15 years old, but this is actually a mistranslation. Given Christine met Raoul when they were both children and grew up together until they were teenagers, before Raoul left, she’s likely 20 years old in the book same as him.

** Initially averted with Filius Flitwick in the first two films, where he is portrayed as an old white-haired man as he is in the books. However, his appearance changed drastically after Chris Columbus stopped directing the films, suddenly turning into a younger-looking dark-haired man.
