History AdaptationalAttractiveness / XMenFilmSeries

** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} is a PlayedWith case as Creator/AnnaPaquin is in NO WAY, shape, or form unattractive (quite the opposite, she’s one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation, just watch any episode of ''Series/TrueBlood''). Her character Rogue, however, is widely considered one of [[MsFanservice the most beautiful]] of all the female X-Men to the point where if there was a Mt Rushmore of most attractive X-Men, she would no doubt be up there. Anna Paquin is more of a natural beauty, where is comic Rogue is gorgeous in a voluptuous idealised kind of way. Her film counterpart at least plays this straight concering Rogue's first appearance when joining the X-Men, where she was more butch and homely [[ProgressivelyPrettier compared to later comics]].

A lot of characters in the ''X-Men Film Series'' are [[AdaptationalAttractiveness more attractive]] than their [[ComicBook/XMen comic book]] counterparts:

** Comicbook/NegasonicTeenageWarhead is [[https://static0.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Negasonic-Teenage-Warhead-display.jpg prettier in the movie-verse]] than in the comics; the latter is slightly creepy-looking. Exaggerated even more in the sequel where even the buzzcut punkish appearance is toned down for a [[https://i.imgur.com/IApMk2x.jpg more glamorous look with longer hair]].

** The comic book version of [[http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/a/a6/Janos_Quested_(Earth-616)_001.jpg Riptide]] is nowhere near as handsome as the [[http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/23500000/Riptide-x-men-first-class-23542290-700-464.jpg movie version.]]
** In the comics, Darwin had bulging eyes, slits for a nose, and reptilian grey skin. In the movie, he looks like a normal human. [[http://media.egotvonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/x-men-first-class-darwin-Edi-Gathegi.jpg?41ed4f Compare the two.]]

** ComicBook/{{Gambit}} in the movie has normal blue eyes, instead of [[ExoticEyeDesigns the black sclera and red irises]] which is the reason he was abandoned as a baby in the comics.

** In the comics, Sebastian Shaw, is [[http://marvel.wikia.com/File:SHAW.jpg a thuggish-looking, middle-aged businessman]] with a heavy build best described as "gorilla-like." In this film, he's played by a suave Creator/KevinBacon.

** [[http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/c/c9/Toad.png Toad]] is a short, ugly little hunchback in the comics. Here, he's played by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ray_Park_as_Toad_(comics).jpg Ray Park]] with some very half-hearted attempts at uglying him up. However, in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', the younger Toad has many more noticeable bumps and wrinkles on his face.

Exaggerated even more in the sequel where even the buzzcut punkish appearance is toned down for a [[https://i.imgur.com/IApMk2x.jpg more glamorous look with longer hair]].

** Wolverine is played by the TallDarkAndHandsome Creator/HughJackman, whereas in the comics the character was the butt of jokes about his stocky build and short height. Also, rather than an ill-mannered thug, Wolverine is a Creator/JamesDean-esque [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy]] in the film series.

** Inverted with Magneto. While [[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave not ugly by any means]], he's considerably older than the character in the comics and much less physically imposing. While Magneto was buff and chiseled in the comics, in the original trilogy, his white hair is the result of him being seventy-something years old. Justified, since the movies don't have the comics' [[ComicBookTime sliding timescale]] or the multiple instances of him being de-aged and re-aged, so he had to be a realistic age for a Holocaust survivor. This gets rectified when you see Erik in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', where his younger self is [[TallDarkAndHandsome conventionally handsome]].
