** The comics version of Flag-Smasher was a WellIntentionedExtremist who became a terrorist to try and abolish borders to truly instill world peace. This version, [[GenderFlip Karli Morgenthau]], has similar goals but also leads the ''Flag Smashers'' group to try and stop the world's governments from imposing deportation on citizens displaced by Thanos's snap and the subsequent returning of his victims to life. While she ends up JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, Sam, though disagreeing with her methods, acknowledges she's right about people in power making decisions that could affect millions without a thought to it.

** John Walker in the comics was a {{Jerkass}} who was kicked out of the army before even really do anything notable. He willingly goes to the Power Breaker to become a superhero of his own for fame and money. When serving as Captain America, he had a very MyCountryRightOrWrong approach he remains when becoming [[AntiHeroSubstitute the U.S. Agent]]. In the series, he is a well-decorated veteran who genuinly wants to live up to Steve Roger's ideals and legacy, but struggles with the pressure of doing so. His jerkass tendencies are heavingly turned down and when he loses it by killing one of the Flag-Smashers, it is implied to be by the affects of the super-soldier serum and the death of his best friend.

** The Illuminati, to a degree, gets this treatment as well. Their comics counterparts, in spite of being well-intentioned, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero usually cause more harm than good]] (such as laying the ground roots for ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' and [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk exiling the Hulk]]. They have a similar MO here, but their actions towards besting their Thanos didn't cross any serious lines [[spoiler:aside from their Strange trying to use the Darkhold. Professor X and Mr. Fantastic are also a lot more amenable and reasonable in their actions towards both MCU!Strange and MCU!Wanda. Only Captain Carter, Maria Rambeau!Captain Marvel, and Sorcerer Supreme Mordo aren't given much sympathy, treating them as overtly paranoid and far more willing to use threats to keep everyone in line. In fact, Supreme Mordo is an Inversion to his aforementioned MCU counterpart, as it's strongly implied he corrupted his Strange so he could become Sorcerer Supreme.]]

* ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'': To many's surprise, [[spoiler: the Skrulls were given this treatment, along with AdaptationalHeroism. Their comics counterparts are best known as shapeshifting conquerors that famously [[ComicBook/SecretInvasion invaded Earth for their own ends]], but the MCU depicts them as refugees fleeing from the xenophobic Kree Empire. When they ''did'' eventually [[Series/SecretInvasio2023 try to infiltrate Earth]] as they did in the comics, it was shown to only be a RenegadeSplinterFaction that had grown impatient from still not yet having a new home to settle on.]]
