[[folder:Batman]]
* Franchise/{{Batman}} usually has a lighter shade of hair when he's played by a real actor. He also traditionally has blue eyes, but they were colored brown/black in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. They were changed back to blue once it was retooled into ''The New Batman Adventures''. Creator/GeorgeClooney also had brown eyes and graying hair in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''.
* Likewise, in ''Film/TheDarkKnight,'' [[ComicBook/TwoFace Harvey Dent]], who is a brunette in the comics, is played by blond Creator/AaronEckhart.
* Vicki Vale is normally shown as a redhead in the comics, but was played by the very blond Creator/KimBasinger in the original ''Film/Batman1989''. She's also blonde in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''.
* While ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} is traditionally depicted as having dark black hair, the extremely blonde Creator/MichellePfeiffer played her in ''Film/BatmanReturns''. This appearance was originally used for ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' since the series was intended to tie-in with ''Film/BatmanReturns''. However, when the show switched networks and art styles, Catwoman returned to her black hair color and the change was even explained away as a result of a dye job because her original hair product had been derived from animal testing. Her hair is returned to black in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', but her traditionally green eyes have been changed to blue.
** Another canon explanation in the 'Contagion' series showed that as a criminal, Selina Kyle constantly cuts, dyes and restyles her hair to try and hide her identity.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' saw Killer Croc's skin go from green to grey, though when it came back as ''The New Batman Adventures'', it returned to the green.
* In a reverse example, Chase Meridian from ''Film/BatmanForever'' had blond hair in the movie. When she became a CanonImmigrant in the comics years later, she was now depicted as a redhead.
* In ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', red-headed Barbara is a blond played by Creator/AliciaSilverstone. This is also [[InNameOnly a different]] ''Barbara''.
** Barbara was created for ''Series/Batman1966''. She had short, dark brown hair but wore a red haired wig as Batgirl. The comics ignored this and made her wig into her actual hair.
** Barbara's normally blue eyes are colored brown in ''The Batman''.
* An odd example within one medium: The second Robin, Jason Todd. Pre-Crisis, he had red hair (kind of strawberry blond), permanently dyed black. ComicBook/PostCrisis, he had naturally black hair. After coming back from the dead, he started out with black hair with a white streak, but now has dark red hair with a white streak, since the dye has apparently grown out. Now with the reboot, he's back to black again.
* ''Series/BirdsOfPrey2002'' followed the example set by ''Returns'' and ''B: TAS'' of having Catwoman blonde.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Wonder Woman]]
* Franchise/WonderWoman has black hair... [[Film/WonderWoman1974 except when portrayed]] by the blonde Creator/CathyLeeCrosby.
* On the opposite end, her mother Hippolyta was brown-haired in the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Golden Age]], blonde in the Silver Age and the [[Series/WonderWoman1975 70's TV show]], then dark-haired like her daughter after ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', blonde in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' animated show, black-haired in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', and back to blonde in the ComicBook/New52, as well as in the [[Film/WonderWoman2017 2017 film]]. [[spoiler:The blonde New 52 Hippolyta was later retconned as being the result of false memories]]. As of ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' Diana's mother is dark-haired like her daughter.
* ComicBook/SteveTrevor is blond in the comics, but dark haired Lyle Waggoner was better known and cast well before Creator/LyndaCarter was discovered for the title role. No effort was made to address his hair color. The show went on to add and change many aspects of the Wonder Woman mythos with many of them being retconned back into the comic books.
* Creator/GalGadot's Wonder Woman in the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse where she is the star of ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' and ''Film/WonderWoman1984'' has the standard black hair, but her traditionally blue eyes are brown instead.
* ''ComicBook/SensationComicsFeaturingWonderWoman'': Steve is brunette rather than his traditional blonde in "Brace Yourself".
* ''ComicBook/WonderWomanEarthOne'': Steve is African American in this continuity and accordingly his hair is black.
* ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'': Philippus normally has brown eyes, befitting her African heritage, but here her eyes are green instead. The Heyday sisters also have their traditionally blonde hair changed to orange.
** ComicBook/WonderGirl Cassie Sandsmark is generally a blonde with Scandinavian heritage but in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne'' she's African American with black hair.
* Etta Candy was a redhead in the Golden Age comics ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'', ''ComicBook/SensationComics'' & ''ComicBook/ComicCavalcade'', but almost every iteration since has been blonde, until the ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' version was made African American with black hair.
* The New 52's ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'' changed the hair, eye and ''skin'' colors of most of the Greek Pantheon's manifestations:
** Ares' normally blonde hair is shown to have been orange in flashbacks but has turned white in the present as feelings of being worn out have manifested physically.
** Artemis' brown hair and eyes are switched out for an entirely monochromatic blueish-white look.
** Apollo's blonde hair and blue eyes are switched out for purplish-black hair and skin with glowing orange eyes.
** Demeter's curly [[DependingOnTheArtist brown or black]] hair is now green, and so is her skin.
** Dionysus' formally purple hair is now red and black, and his formerly brown eyes are yellow.
** Hermes goes from brunette to blue skinned, teal haired with solid black eyes.
** Hades has traded his black hair and pale skin for dripping candles and mint green skin.
** Hephaestus' brown eyes are now black and red and his human appearance and skin have been swapped out for pinkish skin with hands and feet that look burnt black and cracked.
** Zeus' normally white formally blonde hair is now dark brown dreadlocks.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Others]]
* ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'' has the normally blue eyed ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} as being a SignificantGreenEyedRedhead. She also has YouthfulFreckles.
* The title character of ''ComicBook/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'' has blonde hair, but is strawberry blonde in the ''WesternAnimation/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'' shorts.
* ''Franchise/{{Aquaman}}'':
** The original Aquagirl (Tula) from ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'' was a brunette in all of her comic appearances, from Aquaman to ''ComicBook/TeenTitans''. She was changed to be a redhead in the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' cartoon and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueTheFlashpointParadox'' (which used her ''Young Justice'' design as a nod to the cartoon). Her eyes were also changed from blue to [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead green]]. Earlier on, the ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' comic book featured Tula in a brief cameo in issue 50 and a chibi gag. She was significantly changed up, with her brown hair becoming green, her eyes going from blue to gold, and receiving a sort of "Species Lift" from going from being a more humanoid Caucasian Atlantean girl to having pale blue skin, webbed hands and feet, and gills.
** On that subject, Aqualad is almost always depicted with black hair, except in the ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'' live-action series, where he's a blonde.
** In ''Film/Aquaman2018'', Creator/PatrickWilson, who played Ocean Master, decided to bleach his hair to blond, ironically making Orm look like the classic Aquaman.
** The Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse did this to Aquaman himself, changing him from blond to Creator/JasonMomoa's dark looks with blond highlights.
* ComicBook/BlackCanary is traditionally naturally black haired. A part of her disguise was putting on a blonde wig, though in the 1990s she decided to just grow her hair out and [[DyeHard dye it]]. The ComicBook/New52 reboot originally had her as a natural blonde. Then they later {{retcon}}ned that and she's back to having naturally black hair.
* Felicity Smoak has black hair in the ''ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}'' comics, but is played by a [[Creator/EmilyBettRickards blonde actress]] in ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. This is later revealed to be a literal example, as flashbacks show Felicity with black hair, and it has been stated a few times that she dyes it blonde.
* ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'':
** [[Franchise/TheFlash Barry Allen]], a blue-eyed blonde, is played by brown-haired, green-eyed Creator/GrantGustin. He was also played by the dark haired Creator/JohnWesleyShipp on the 90's ''[[Series/TheFlash1990 Flash]]'' series. Later, the [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse DCEU]] has Barry played by the black-haired Creator/EzraMiller. The 90s show also had Tina [=McGee=] go from black hair to brown.
** Jesse Quick is a blonde in the comics, but has auburn hair in the show.
** Subverted with ComicBook/EobardThawne; he had dark hair when disguised as Harrison Wells, but it's established in a flashback that he's blond like his comic counterpart.
** Savitar has jet-black hair with blue streaks in the comics, but the show gives him brown hair. His comic counterpart also produced white lightning as he ran, but this version has yellow lightning that only looks white because of his PoweredArmor.
** Iris and Wally West both have black hair instead of red (due to the fact they are not white characters in the TV series).
* In the ''ComicBook/GreenArrow'' comics, Connor Hawke has blond hair, but it's black in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* The Jim Harper ComicBook/{{Guardian}} is portrayed as a blond in the comics, but is given red hair in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' in order to highlight his relation to Roy Harper.
* [[ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}} John Constantine]] was originally blond, and specifically modeled after Sting (and more specifically, Sting as he appeared in the movie ''[[Music/TheWho Quadrophenia]]''). In [[Film/{{Constantine}} the movie adaptation]], he is played by dark-haired Creator/KeanuReeves. [[InNameOnly But then, Keanu-Constantine had nothing in common with the comic-book character, except for the name (which is pronounced differently in the comic). The hair is really a minor detail.]]
* In ''ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' ComicBook/BlackCanary is presumably a natural blonde because [[spoiler:her son with the equally blonde ComicBook/GreenArrow is blond]]. In the comics she is naturally black haired.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' sees Despero and Katma Tui go from having magenta skin to purple and orange respectively.
* Speaking of which, Barry's hair is black in the live-action ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' movie. Additionally, Aquaman is a blonde in the comics, but thanks to a RaceLift, his hair is dark with some blond streaks in the film.
* Lex Luthor's [[BodyguardBabes female bodyguard]] Mercy had brown hair when she was first introduced in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, but was given blond hair when she was [[CanonImmigrant brought over into the comics]]. She has black hair in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', but this is mostly due to the creators [[RaceLift making her Asian]] for this adaptation.
* In Creator/NeilGaiman's ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'' the abdicated Lord of Hell is blond, but in the loose [[Series/Lucifer2016 TV adaptation]] he has black hair. It gets referenced in one episode where a Satanist responds to Lucifer's assertion of being the Devil by saying, "Aren't you supposed to be blond?"
* ''[[ComicBook/TheMultiversity The Multiversity Guidebook #1]]'':
** The Franchise/WonderWoman of the main universe has black hair, however several of her alternate universe counterparts are red-heads (The unnamed pirate Wonder Woman of Earth-31 and War-Woman of Earth-36), blonde (Brünhilde of Earth-10), purple haired (Vague of Earth-41) and strawberry blonde (Walküre of Earth-7).
** The Franchise/{{Superman}} of the main universe has black hair, however several of his alternate universe counterparts are blond (Hyperius of Earth-8, Savior of Earth-34 and Optiman of Earth-36), green haired (Super-Martian of Earth-31), white haired (Supremo of Earth-35) and strawberry blond (Cyclotron of Earth-39).
** The ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} of the main universe has black hair, however her Earth-31 counterpart has purple hair.
* Comicbook/LanaLang and ComicBook/LoisLane change hair colors for ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. Creator/KristinKreuk has dark brown hair instead of red, Creator/EricaDurance has brownish blond hair instead of black.
** Also, for the record, Kristin Kreuk is part-Asian. This is ignored on the show.
*** They got it right in ''Film/SupermanIII'', with the actress playing Lana going on to play Martha Kent. [[CanonDiscontinuity Now, if only they'd gotten the non-cosmetic things right...]]
** The usually dark haired Lois is played by redheaded actress Creator/AmyAdams in ''Film/ManOfSteel''. She's also a redhead in the ''ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' prequel comic, [[ComicBookFantasyCasting likely as a nod to Adams]].
** The eye colours of most main characters in ''Smallville'' are different. ComicBook/LexLuthor has grey instead of green, Clark Kent has green instead of blue, Lana Lang has brown instead of green, ComicBook/LoisLane has brown instead of blue/violet.
** Has there ever been a live action ComicBook/JimmyOlsen with red hair? ''Ever?''
* Dean Cain has brown eyes and brown hair; Tom Welling has green eyes (if fan sites are to be trusted) and brown hair; [[Series/LoisAndClark both]] [[Series/{{Smallville}} played]] Franchise/{{Superman}}, whose piercing blue eyes and black hair have been part of the standard character description for decades. At least Christopher Reeve was right.
** Of course he had to get a real dye job to go from his natural blond...
* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' had Franchise/GreenLantern Kyle Rayner's hair changed from black to light brown -- because he was a CompositeCharacter with some of Hal Jordan's aspects.
** Minor GL Corps member Iolande has black hair in the comics, but was given silver hair in ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternEmeraldKnights'' and purple hair in ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries''.
* Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'s FunnyAnimal counterpart, was originally [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife pink-furred]], as were other bunny residents of Funny Animalville. When he was introduced to the Bronze Age [[Franchise/TheDCU DCU]], he was white. In the ComicBook/PostCrisis DCU he was shown as pinkish-brown on the cover of ''The Power of Shazam'' #29 and white with pink highlights inside. In ''ComicBook/TinyTitans'' and ''DC Superpets'' he's brown and white. And the unpowered, non-anthro Hoppy from ComicBook/TheNew52 ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague'''s ''Shazam'' back-up strip is white again.
** The New 52 also bleached Freddy Freeman's hair. [[Film/Shazam2019 The movie]] has it black again, in something like the original style that Music/ElvisPresley copied.
* In the comics ComicBook/TheSilencer is a DarkSkinnedBlonde. In ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' she has dark hair.
* ''ComicBook/{{Static}}'' villain Hotstreak went from having blond hair to red hair with blond streaks in ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock''.
* ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'':
** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is usually a bright blonde. In the series her hair is so dark that it could pass for light brown.
** In the comics Streaky is a ginger cat. In the ''Supergirl'' episode "Legion of Super-Heroes" he's played by a black cat.
** Brainiac 5's natural form has white hair and blue skin, rather than blond hair and green skin. Presumably, this is partly to make him look distinct from the Martians, and partly because the first Coluan to appear on the show was the blue-skinned Indigo. Season 5 reveals [[spoiler: that his natural form is indeed a green-skinned blond, and the colour shift is a side-effect of a self-imposed RestrainingBolt]].
* In the ''Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure'', Wally West had black hair rather than red, with his Kid Flash uniform colored red instead of yellow. The ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' segments also gave the Guardians of the Universe a generic caucasian skin tone instead of giving them blue skin like in the comics.
* Sylvester Pemberton had black hair in the comics, but blond hair in the ''Series/Stargirl2020'' TV show.
* There was an EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference example for Beast Boy of ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' fame. Back when he was in the ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', in his original origin story he was shown to have brown hair. After 12 issues he was given blond hair and it's stayed that way. His hair became red in the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. All of these are origin stories given little screen time compared to the green hair he is more well known for, which the color (whatever it is naturally) always changes to after his Superhero Origin. In the ''Series/Titans2018'' live-action show, a {{Flashback}} shows that his hair was originally ''black'' before it became green.
** Except in the ComicBook/New52, where he turns ''red'' (blood-red, not red-hair-red), to fit better with the idea that characters with animal powers are all linked to [[ComicBook/AnimalMan The Red]] and characters with plant powers to [[ComicBook/SwampThing The Green]].
** In the ComicBook/New52 reboot, Terra originally appeared with (and was intended by the artists to have) brown hair, as opposed to her classic blonde. Later colorists have changed her hair back to being blonde, probably to have her look more recognizable.
** While ComicBook/{{Raven}} has black hair in the comics, the 2003 animated series depicted her with violet hair. Her mother Arella received a similar dye job. Raven's eyes were also depicted as blue in the comics up until her resurrection, where they officially became "indigo" and vacillated between being a deep blue or violet. The animated incarnations of Raven and Arella both sport violet eyes. In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' cartoon, Raven's hair becomes a much deeper violet, almost black.
** Kole Weathers was a redhead in her short-lived comics existence, while her animated counterpart had bright pink hair.
** The Titans from the {{Elseworld}} "Scissors Paper Stone" one-shot was three-fourths of the team undergo has this in the ''New Teen Titans'' short "Turn Back The Clock", as Captain Thug went from having red hair to magenta, and both Dead Pretty Boy and Witchie-Poo were changed from having black hair and brown hair respectively to red hair. Prosthetic Lass is the only one who still retains her hair color from the original comic (blonde).
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne'':
** Sort of inverted, originally a pre-Beast Boy Garfield Logan was show to be brown-haired but was subsequently retconned as a blond a few issues later and remained so ever since. Here he is brown-haired once again before his powers activate.
** In the main universe [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Rita Farr]] is a brunette, Rita [[AdaptationNameChange Markov]] here has black hair.
* [[Franchise/TheFlash Wally West]] traditionally is a SignificantGreenEyedRedhead however in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' he has blue eyes.
[[/folder]]

* Marvel's version of the goddess Sif has black hair, rather than gold; this was because [[Myth/NorseMythology the myth]] of ComicBook/{{Loki}} shearing her head in her sleep and having to replace it was changed in this version. Like in the original mythology, he commissioned the dwarves to forge new hair, but didn't pay them what he originally promised. Thus, instead of golden hair, they made black hair to spite him. (Fortunately, Thor thought Sif looked even more beautiful as a brunette, so it all ended well.)
* ComicBook/{{Valkyrie|Marvel Comics}} usually has blond hair, but in ''WesternAnimation/ThorTalesOfAsgard'', her hair is white.
* [[ComicBook/Agent13 Sharon Carter]] has red hair in the ComicBook/{{Ultimate|Marvel}} universe, rather than blond.
* Though her hair [[PowerDyesYourHair changes to its traditional black color when in her Madame Masque persona]], Whitney Stane has blond hair in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures''. Abigail Brand also has black hair instead of her trademark green.
* ComicBook/{{Iceman}} went from brown hair to blond when animated for ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen''.
* In the comics, ComicBook/JaneFoster has naturally brown hair, which turns blond whenever she transforms into ComicBook/{{Thor|2014}}. In ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', it's blond even while she's in her human form.
* [[ComicBook/HumanTorch Johnny Storm]] went from blond to brown hair when they brought ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2005}}'' to film. Ben Grimm went from brown-haired to bald.
* In the '60s ''WesternAnimation/{{The Fantastic Four|1967}}'' cartoon, ComicBook/{{Galactus}} had green skin and a suit of blue armor instead of pink skin and purple armor.
* In the 1978 ''[[WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1978 Fantastic Four]]'' cartoon, Lockjaw had white fur instead of brown.
* The Kree Supreme Intelligence is almost always green...except for the time he appeared in the ''WesternAnimation/SilverSurfer'' cartoon, where he was inexplicably colored red.
* In the original ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' comics, Princess Ravonna had red hair. In ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', she has black hair and is made AmbiguouslyBrown to boot.
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** Peter Parker has brown eyes in the comics; in the movies, Creator/TobeyMaguire plays him, who has blue eyes. Although in the comics, they flip-flop between brown and blue so much eventually Marvel [[WordOfGod officially stated]] they were hazel as compromise.
** A brunette during her tenure in the comic books, Sally Avril was turned into a blonde for ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', with her hair also going from being short and curly to long and straight.
** Brown-haired Harry Osborn is a blonde in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries''.
** Spider-Man villain ComicBook/DoctorOctopus is almost always portrayed as having short brown hair, but sports long black hair in the ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' animated series.
** [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Eddie Brock]] is blond in the comics, but was given brown hair in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''Film/Venom2018''.
** ComicBook/{{Carnage}}'s human host Cletus Kasady is a redhead in the comics, but was depicted as blond in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited''.
* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** Scott Lang is a redhead in the comics, but Creator/PaulRudd plays him with black hair in ''Film/AntMan1''. His daughter Cassie also goes from having blond hair to brunette.
** Laura Barton is blonde in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'', but has dark hair in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.
** ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}'s hair color is naturally white in the comics. While it is also white in ''Age of Ultron'', Quicksilver had earlier appeared in TheStinger of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' with brown hair. This would imply that he either dyed it white later, or that it was turned white by his powers.
** Nakia has dyed red hair in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' rather than dark hair like she does in the comics.
** Batroc has black hair in the comics but light brown in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''. His pointy goatee and curly mustache are also changed to a more subdued mustache and beard.
** ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Matt Murdock is a redhead in the comics. In the show, Creator/{{Charlie Cox}}'s Matt Murdock has reddish copper hair.
** ComicBook/ColleenWing is a redhead in the comics, but Creator/JessicaHenwick keeps her natural black/dark brown hair in ''Series/IronFist2017''.
** Aldrich Killian had black hair in the comics, but blond in ''Film/IronMan3''.
** Creator/KrystenRitter keeps her pitch-black hair in ''Series/JessicaJones2015'', despite ComicBook/{{Jessica|Jones}} having brown hair in the comics. Kilgrave's entire body was purple in the comics, but in the series, Creator/DavidTennant's natural skin color is used and only the clothing he sometimes wears is purple. [[ComicBook/PatsyWalker Trish Walker]] is also a blonde rather than a redhead (though she used to be a redhead back when she was the star of ''It's Patsy''), as she's a CompositeCharacter with [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]].
** Betty Brant famously wears her brunette hair in a short bob, but in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', it's long and blonde.
** Valykrie is once again hit with this, overlapped with RaceLift, in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' where she is played by Creator/TessaThompson, who is black.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'':
*** Comicbook/DraxTheDestroyer has green skin in the comics, but this was changed to gray in the film.
*** An odd case for Mantis in that she's a human in the comics that eventually turned green, but in the films she's an alien that retains her human skin color.
** Michelle "MJ" Jones, the MCU's {{Expy}} of ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson, has brown hair instead of red in both ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' and ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''.
* ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} was a redhead rather than a blonde in the 90's ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' animated series.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperHeroes'' did this to the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk and ComicBook/IronMan. The cartoon depicting Hulk's origin made him his standard green instead of the gray he was when he first transformed. As well, a few cartoons sporting Iron Man's Golden Armor was recolored to match his modern day red and gold scheme.
* In the comics, ComicBook/{{Magneto}} sports white hair for most of his life and before going bald, Professor Xavier had blond hair. In the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', the younger versions of both men have brown hair.
* In the comics, David Haller has black hair, but in the live-action ''Series/{{Legion}}'' TV show, it's very light brown. It's also more normal and realistic than the towering AnimeHair he has in the source material.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1982'' changed Rick Jones' hair color from brown to blond.
* Betty Ross is a blonde in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1996'', despite being a brunette in the comics.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** ComicBook/{{Storm}}'s eyes are blue in the comics, but in the movie-verse, they're brown because Creator/HalleBerry refused to wear contacts.[[note]]Notably, she's the only exception: ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}'s Tyler Mane, Toad’s Creator/RayPark, ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}'s Creator/AlanCumming and ComicBook/{{Mystique}}'s Creator/RebeccaRomijn all wore coloured contacts.[[/note]]
** In the comics, ComicBook/{{Magneto}} has been shown to have had white hair for the vast majority of his adult life, presumably as a side-effect of his mutation. In the films, he's introduced with ''grey'' hair (though only because, lacking ComicBookTime, the screenwriters had to make him the realistic age of a Holocaust survivor), and he has [[TallDarkAndHandsome dark brown hair]] as a younger man in the [[Film/XMenFirstClass First]] [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast Class]] [[Film/XMenApocalypse trilogy]].
** [[ComicBook/ProfessorX Professor Charles Xavier]] in the comics was blond before he lost his hair, but his movie counterpart is a brunet.
** Creator/LievSchreiber‘s ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' has short black hair rather than the long blonde mane from the comics and first movie which Tyler Mane appropriately rocked.
** Creator/TaylorKitsch’s ComicBook/{{Gambit}} from the same movie has normal blue eyes unlike the comics where he’s got red irises and black sclera. Whether this due to Kitsch refusing to wear contacts like Halle Berry or just a production oversight is unknown.
** Creator/RayPark’s Toad has green skin and dark-green highlighted hair instead of normal skin and the brown hair of the comics, though since Toads can be green in real life Ray Park’s portrayal is perfectly fine. Toad in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' is more accurate to his comic appearance though admittedly he wouldn’t know it was him till his OverlyLongTongue comes out.
** Yukio sports natural black hair in [[ComicBook/FrankMillersWolverine the Wolverine mini-series]] but has dyed red hair in ''Film/TheWolverine''. ''Film/Deadpool2'' retains the black hair, but adds dyed pink highlights.
** Viper is blond rather than green-haired like in the comics.
** Weasel has light brown hair instead of his usual black.
** ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}'s hair is purple in the comics, but her film counterpart is raven-haired with purple highlights.
* ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': Nightcrawler's fur and hair go from blue to black (then, later on, it gets dyed back to blue).

* In the ''Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure'', Wally West had black hair rather than red, with his Kid Flash uniform colored red instead of yellow. The ''Comicbook/GreenLantern'' segments also gave the Guardians of the Universe a generic caucasian skin tone instead of giving them blue skin like in the comics.
* Sylvester Pemberton had black hair in the comics, but blond hair in the ''Series/{{Stargirl 2020}}'' TV show.
* There was an EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference example for Beast Boy of ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' fame. Back when he was in the ''Comicbook/DoomPatrol'', in his original origin story he was shown to have brown hair. After 12 issues he was given blond hair and it's stayed that way. His hair became red in the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. All of these are origin stories given little screen time compared to the green hair he is more well known for, which the color (whatever it is naturally) always changes to after his Superhero Origin. In the ''Series/{{Titans 2018}}'' live-action show, a {{Flashback}} shows that his hair was originally ''black'' before it became green.
** Except in the Comicbook/{{New 52}}, where he turns ''red'' (blood-red, not red-hair-red), to fit better with the idea that characters with animal powers are all linked to [[ComicBook/AnimalMan The Red]] and characters with plant powers to [[ComicBook/SwampThing The Green]].
** In the Comicbook/{{New 52}} reboot, Terra originally appeared with (and was intended by the artists to have) brown hair, as opposed to her classic blonde. Later colorists have changed her hair back to being blonde, probably to have her look more recognizable.

Then the cartoon settled on a brown-furred and auburn-haired combination and it would take about two years for the comic to catch up. Eventually, one comic explained this by revealing that she had fallen into a vat of chemicals while on a mission, and it took her a long time to properly wash it out of her fur.
