** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' did that first, making him a freaking ''{{Badass}}''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzJXeOIvoV0 At least until his video-game came out...]]
*** It's worth mentioning that he was left out of the core roster in favor of Hawkgirl, and was relegated to guest appearances. The movie ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'' similarly relegated him to being a member of the reserve League.
*** He doesn't get much action in ''[[ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier Justice League: The New Frontier]]'' either, with him only appearing at the very end to return Superman, who fell into his domain, at the end of the movie.
*** He was also excluded from ''JusticeLeagueDoom'' in favor of Cyborg, despite the rest of the team resembling the Silver Age "Big 7" JLA and being present in the original story the film was based on.
*** However, they definitely redeemed him in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', where he became one of the most popular characters, even getting [[SpotlightStealingSquad entire episodes devoted to him]] with ''Batman'' as the backup character.
** Perhaps realizing that he'd NeverLiveItDown, GeoffJohns decided to incorporate Aquaman's bad reputation into the actual comics. The fact that everyone from the police to random bystanders now think of Aquaman as a dork is used as a running joke.
** {{Hawkman}}, too, lost a great deal of what made him great. Among companions who could fly and bench-press planets, or fly and become living lightning, or fly and create any green-colored thing they could imagine, Hawkman was the Super Friend who could fly ... and do ''nothing else''.
*** Hawkman's problem was any useful trait he brings to the Justice League (his combat prowess and tendency to keep scary medieval weaponry around) couldn't be used for the kid-friendly ''Super Friends''. So, he got stuck with "Guy who can fly not as fast as Superman or Green Lantern.

* '''''Any''''' story that Disney adapts certainly qualifies. Case in point, when people think of Literature/{{Aladdin}}, odds are they'll think of [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} the Disney version]] with its storybook version of Persia/Arabia, rather than the Chinese setting that the original story employed. To be fair, nearly all adaptations of Aladdin were set in Arabia well before Disney got their hands on the story.
** And the China of the book is a very InNameOnly version, what with the genies and Muslims and Ala al-Din.
** Additionally, while many of the "traditional" fairy tales Disney has adapted have "original" versions (and in many case with known original authors), the changing of standards over the centuries and decades has led to many different versions of the stories being written[[hottip:*: because lets face it, some people are still too squeamish to tell their children that the stepsisters from "Literature/{{Cinderella}}" cut off their heels so their feet could fit the slipper]]. In the case of each adaptation, the Disney versions are just one of those many different versions, making the use of this trope subjective since some peoples' perceptions of fairy tales may have been colored by other versions (e.g., FaerieTaleTheatre).
** ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'', meanwhile, is one of the biggest subversions. The legend of John Smith and Pocahontas being lovers had built for centuries—but once Disney put that myth to celluloid, the VocalMinority that knew its inaccuracies raised such a stink that everyone now knows the real Pocahontas was only twelve years old at the time and Smith probably didn't even care that she existed. She even married John Rolfe and moved with him to England, a fact that Disney inexplicably got right in the direct-to-video sequel.

* Everyone remembers Filmation's cartoon of ''HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'', with its goofy takes on the characters and the [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle moral segments]] at the end. Very few remember the previous DC Comics take on Masters Of The Universe, where the Sorceress is referred to as 'The Goddess' and lives in a cave (and not Castle Greyskull—and she and Zoar the falcon are separate characters), Prince Adam (He-Man's alter-ego who didn't appear in the toyline minicomics... at first) is known for 'wenching and carousing', and Skeletor is a much more dangerous villain who kills a rival wizard in combat. There were also illustrated books released with the original action figures which gave different origins for the characters (Teela, instead of being the Sorceress' daughter, is a magical clone of her[[hottip:*: which practically makes Teela her "daughter" anyway]]), and had a storyline where He-Man's Sword of Power was split in two (with He-Man possessing one half and Skeletor the other—this was reflected in the original action figure accessories with two 'sword halves' with the characters' figures that could be put together). Later takes on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (such as the 1987 live-action movie and the 2002 series) don't seem to be talked about as much as the 80's Filmation cartoon.
