* The original ''ComicBook/XMen'' Hellfire Club line-up were all based by Creator/JohnByrne on actors he admired. Sebastian Shaw was based on Creator/RobertShaw, the Black Queen (Jean Grey) on Creator/DianaRigg ([[Series/TheAvengers1960s Emma Peel]]), Mastermind[=/=]Jason Wyngarde on Creator/PeterWyngarde (Jason King in ''Series/DepartmentS'' and ''Series/JasonKing''), Harry Leland on Creator/OrsonWelles ([[Film/TheThirdMan Harry Lime]] and [[Film/CitizenKane Jedediah Leland]]), and Donald Pierce on Creator/DonaldSutherland ([[Film/{{Mash}} film version of Hawkeye Pierce]]).
** A later writer introduced Emma Steed of the London Hellfire Club, who was even ''more'' Diana Rigg.
** The Diana Rigg and Peter Wyngarde parallels specifically were part of a WholePlotReference to the ''Avengers'' episode "A Touch of Brimstone", also set at a Hellfire Club, and which had Mrs. Peel in the Jean Grey role and Peter Wyngarde as John Cleverly Carter in the Mastermind role.
* During the Claremont/Byrne run on ''Uncanny X-Men'', Comicbook/{{Cyclops}} was based on a young Creator/HenryFonda, ComicBook/JeanGrey on a young Creator/RaquelWelch, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} on Paul D'Amato (Tim "Dr. Hook" [=McCracken=]) in ''Film/SlapShot'', Comicbook/{{Colossus}} on Max Baer Jr, Comicbook/{{Beast|Marvel Comics}} on Creator/AlFranken, [[Comicbook/ProfessorX Charles Xavier]] on Keane Curtis, Moira [=McTaggert=] on Hannah Gordon, Arcade on Creator/MalcolmMcDowell, and Comicbook/EmmaFrost on a young Creator/FayeDunaway. ComicBook/KittyPryde was based on what Byrne thought a young Creator/SigourneyWeaver would look like.
** Comicbook/{{Nightcrawler}} started to gradually look more and more like Creator/ErrolFlynn, with his holographic image inducer calibrated specifically to look like him. Nightcrawler is also a huge Flynn fanboy, so in his case it was a cultivated look.
** The [[FadSuper disco-themed]] mutant ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} was modeled after Creator/BoDerek, who was supposed to play the character in a live-action movie.
** Later, when handling art honors for ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'', Alan Davis once stated that he modeled his Kitty Pryde after a young Creator/KatharineHepburn.
* [[ComicBook/TheUltimates Ultimate]] ComicBook/NickFury was drawn to look like Creator/SamuelLJackson. In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Jackson was naturally cast in the role. This was an explicit arrangement; Jackson, a big comic book fan, gave Marvel free rein to use his likeness for the character as long as he could have the part in the movies (though only after he threatened to sue them for using his likeness without his knowledge or consent).
** NYPD Detective Paul Budiansky, a one-arc character from ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'' is also modeled after Sam Jackson.
** In a special feature, Bryan Hitch discussed the "cast" of actors he and Creator/MarkMillar used for reference in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates''. Aside from the aforementioned Sam Jackson as Nick Fury, he picked Creator/BradPitt for ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Creator/ZhangZiyi for ComicBook/TheWasp, Creator/BruceWillis for ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, Creator/AngelinaJolie and James Haven for ComicBook/ScarletWitch and ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}, Creator/MatthewMcConaughey for [[ComicBook/AntMan Giant-Man]], and Creator/SteveBuscemi for [[Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]]. He couldn't find a suitable actor for [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], so he just said Jesus.
** Shapeshifting Chitauri villain Herr Kleiser greatly resembles Creator/RobertCarlyle.
** Gregory Stark looks very similar to ''Franchise/JamesBond'' star Creator/DanielCraig, albeit with a mustache.
* ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'' series has a lot of characters looking like famous "cool" actors in real life.
** Frank himself is a beefy Creator/ClintEastwood in the first arc; this is particularly evident when he's held prisoner by Microchip. Another artist basically turns him into [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger the T-800.]]
** Paul Budiansky is Creator/SamuelLJackson.
** Budiansky's CSI friend is Creator/TommyLeeJones (and he ''[[TakeThat hates CSI]]''.)
** Colonel George Howe is Creator/MorganFreeman.
** From ''Comicbook/ThePunisherPresentsBarracuda'', Big Chris Angelone is Creator/ChristopherWalken.
** Castle's CO in the ''[[ComicBook/ThePunisherBorn Born]]'' mini-series is Creator/WilliamHMacy.
** According to Creator/GarthEnnis' script for issue #37 (which has since been taken down from its original spot in the Comic Book Script Archive by Marvel) Nicky Cavella's physical appearance was based on Creator/AndyGarcia, and John James Toomey was based on Music/PuffDaddy.
* Lenny Balinger from ''ComicBook/DamageControl'' is a dead ringer for Creator/LeeMarvin, though he thinks he looks more like Creator/PaulNewman.
* Tony Isabella has said Comicbook/MistyKnight was physically modeled after Creator/PamGrier, while the basic concept of the character was essentially conceived as a {{Gender Flip}}ped version of ''Film/BlackbeltJones''.
* Darla Deering/Miss Thing from ''Comicbook/{{FF}}'' was modeled after pop star Music/KatyPerry.
* Detective Oscar Clemons from Creator/GregRucka's ''Comicbook/ThePunisher'' run is based on Creator/MorganFreeman.
* In Creator/JohnByrne comics, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Mr. Fantastic]] is based on Jeffrey Hunter, [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Wonder Man]] on Creator/DavidProwse, Comicbook/DoctorStrange on Richard Boone, the Scarlet Witch on Playmate Julia Lyndon, Desmond Marrs on Rocco Siffredi, Polaris (in ''X-Men: The Hidden Years'') on Creator/JenniferAniston.
** He drew Steve Rogers during his run on ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' to look like Creator/RobertRedford, which is now HilariousInHindsight since Redford ended up playing [[spoiler:the villain]] of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
* Gene Colan modeled Comicbook/TheFalcon after UsefulNotes/OJSimpson, who was still primarily known as a college football star at the time.
* In ''[[Comicbook/NickSpencersCaptainAmerica Captain America: Sam Wilson]]'', artist Daniel Acuna based Sam's older brother Gideon on Creator/DelroyLindo.
* Clive Reston from the ''Comicbook/ShangChi'' comics was drawn to look like Creator/RogerMoore by the artist Paul Gulacy, specifically as he appeared during his time as ''Film/JamesBond''. In the same series, Paul Gulacy turned Shang-Chi into a BruceLeeClone.
* Circuit Breaker from ''Comicbook/TheTransformers'' was modeled after Marvel colorist Janet "Jay Jay" Jackson.
* John Romita admitted that he modeled ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson on Ann Margret (specifically the way she looked in ''Theatre/ByeByeBirdie''). [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests While]] Gwen Stacy, as Creator/GerryConway noted, was based on blondes in Creator/AlfredHitchcock films -- Creator/GraceKelly and Creator/KimNovak in particular. More recently, Mike Deodato has drawn her as a red-haired Creator/LivTyler, and Paolo Rivera's take on her is a blend between Leighton Meester and Miranda Kerr, inspired by her dimples.
* In Creator/JasonAaron's ''ComicBook/Thor2014'', Jane Foster is drawn to look like her MCU actress Creator/NataliePortman.
* ''ComicBook/NewMutants'':
** ComicBook/RachelSummers, in her first appearances, was intentionally designed to look like Music/AnnieLennox.
** ComicBook/IllyanaRasputin was designed to look like Heather O'Rourke, the child actress who played Carol-Ann in ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}''.
* Comicbook/MonicaRambeau was designed to resemble Creator/PamGrier, one of John Romita, Jr.'s favorite actresses.
* Whenever Mike Deodato draws ComicBook/NormanOsborn (see ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'', ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', etc.), he ends up looking like Creator/TommyLeeJones. Deodato has admitted that this is deliberate.
** In his more recent appearances, Norman appears to have been modelled on Julian [=McMahon=]. Which is kind of ironic [[Film/FantasticFour2005 when you think about it]]...
** Similary, whenever Deodato draws ComicBook/DoctorDoom´s unscarred face, he tends to look like Creator/VincentCassel.
* ''Comicbook/{{Blade}}'': Ever since the success of [[Film/BladeTrilogy the movies]], the character is often drawn to look like Creator/WesleySnipes.
* When she first appeared in ''Comicbook/SecretWar'', Daisy Johnson/Quake was drawn to look ''exactly'' like Creator/AngelinaJolie as she appeared in ''Film/{{Hackers}}''. As time went on, the resemblance lessened.
* Don Heck based ComicBook/PepperPotts off actress Ann B. Davis, known at the time for her role on ''The Bob Cummings Show''. She's best remembered today for playing Alice in ''Series/TheBradyBunch''.
* Before the movies, [[ComicBook/ProfessorX Charles Xavier's]] bald head and thin eyebrows were reminiscent of Creator/YulBrynner's distinct appearance. In several ComicBook/XMen books since the movies, though, Professor Xavier has noticeably been drawn more like Creator/PatrickStewart.
** Alex Ross modeled Professor Xavier after Patrick Stewart as the artist for ''ComicBook/{{Marvels}}''–[[HilariousInHindsight years before the first movie]]. He also used Creator/TimothyDalton as a model for Tony Stark.
** In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' crossover novel, written before the X-Men movie, he is also described as bearing a fair resemblance to Jean-Luc.
** This has also been reflected in other media as well, as Creator/DavidKaye in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Creator/TomKane in ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'', and Creator/JimWard in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' all have emulated Stewart in their turns as Xavier.

* [[http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/n/numinus.htm Numinus]], an obscure ''ComicBook/PowerPack'' character who looks like a bright-red Creator/WhoopiGoldberg in [[Creator/JackKirby Kirbyesque]] "cosmic" armor.
* Before ''Film/IronMan2'' came out, Justin Hammer was modeled on Creator/PeterCushing.
* [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], as drawn by Salvador Larocca in the current series by Matt Fraction, looks [[http://joevince3.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/iron-sawyer-3.jpg A LOT]] like Creator/JoshHolloway.
* Salvador Larocca does this with many characters in ComicBook/TheNewUniverse reimagining ''newuniversal''. He casts Creator/JoshHolloway as Kenneth Connell (Star Brand); Creator/JamesGandolfini as the father of Connell's girlfriend; [[Series/TheSopranos Vincent Pastore, Steven Van Zandt, Michael Imperioli, and Tony Sirico]] as sheriff's deputies; Creator/LeonardNimoy as a Starbrand wielder from an alternate Earth; Creator/AngelinaJolie as Dr. Jennifer Swann; Creator/JamesCromwell as her boss, Philip L. Voight; Creator/BruceWillis as Det. John Tensen (Justice); Music/{{Eminem}} as the crack dealer who put Tensen in the hospital; footballer Zinedine Zidane as a [[SerialKiller Serial]]-MercyKilling nurse who would've killed Tensen if not for the White Event; Creator/JohnnyDepp as Dr. Leonard Carson; Creator/NicoleKidman as Dr. Hannah Ballad; and Creator/GeneHackman as Jim Braddock.
* On at least one occasion (the moment when ComicBook/SpiderMan revealed his secret identity), Peter Parker and J. Jonah Jameson look very much like Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/JKSimmons, respectively.
* Early Comicbook/DoctorStrange more or less ''is'' Creator/VincentPrice.
** Creator/SteveDitko's art can make it difficult to say for certain, but his early appearances sometimes more closely resemble Film/CharlieChan actor Warner Oland.
** Morgana Blessing was based on singer Amy Grant, something her management team did not appreciate. They were worried that Grant being associated with a sorcerer like Doctor Strange would harm her standing in the Christian music community, and took legal action against Marvel. The case ultimately ended with an out-of-court settlement.
* Creator/AlexRoss based Mr. Fantastic's appearance in ''ComicBook/{{Marvels}}'' off of Russell Johnson aka TheProfessor from ''Series/GilligansIsland'' in keeping with TheSixties setting of the series.
** Ross' fully-painted artwork uses photo references for most major characters. Books like ComicBook/KingdomCome and ComicBook/{{Marvels}} actually have model credits, mostly comprised of the artist's friends and fellow comic creators. And UsefulNotes/RichardNixon as Norman Osborn.
* Creator/BrianMichaelBendis' unused script for ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'' actually calls for this, describing Archangel as "Music/KurtCobain-esque", Comicbook/{{Rogue}} as [[Music/NoDoubt a teen Gwen Stefani]], ComicBook/{{Storm}} as either Music/ErykahBadu or Music/LaurynHill, and Comicbook/{{Gambit}} as a devilish Leonardo look-a-like, probably referring to [[Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio DiCaprio.]] Beast's dad would supposedly look like Creator/MartinSheen.
* In another Bendis example, he has stated that the mother-daughter supervillain duo the [[Characters/MilesMorales Bombshells]] from ''Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan'' were based on the titular characters from ''Series/GilmoreGirls''. This is especially noticeable in the 2016 ''[[Comicbook/MilesMorales Spider-Man]]'' series, where artist Oscar Bazaldua very blatantly modeled Lori after Creator/LaurenGraham and Lana after Creator/AlexisBledel.
* ComicBook/BlackPanther supporting character Everett Ross is admittedly drawn as Creator/MichaelJFox.
** White Wolf was based on Creator/KevinSpacey as he appeared in ''Film/MidnightInTheGardenOfGoodAndEvil''.
* Frank Miller stated that Comicbook/{{Elektra}}'s appearance was based on bodybuilder Lisa Lyon.
* On ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', John Buscema modeled Captain America on Creator/BurtLancaster, Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} on Creator/AnthonyQuinn, Goliath on Robert Culp, Comicbook/{{Quicksilver}} on Creator/FredAstaire and Comicbook/TheIncredibleHercules on Steve Reeves, who portrayed Hercules in the famous Italian produced Hercules movies from the 50s. {{Lampshaded}} in an issue where a kid saw Hercules walking down the street and excitedly said it was Steve Reeves.
* Mobius M. Mobius was modeled after Marvel editor Mark Gruenwald.
* Robbie Reyes, the Comicbook/AllNewGhostRider, is based off pop singer [[Music/ZaynMalik Zayn Malik]].
* Jack Kirby's pre-cosmic ray Ben Grimm borrows the look of FilmNoir actor John Garfield.
* In the second volume of ''ComicBook/SecretAvengers'', Senator Robert Ralston, former Howling Commando and United Nations official overseeing SHIELD, is drawn to resemble a middle-aged Creator/RobertRedford.
* Comicbook/BlackWidow [[ComicBook/Marvel2099 2099]] from ''Comicbook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'' is designed to resemble Music/NickiMinaj.
* One iteration of the character Echo was designed to look like adult film actress Skin Diamond.
* Artist Gil Kane based ComicBook/{{Morbius}}' appearance on that of actor Creator/JackPalance when he created the character.
* Mike [=McKone=]'s redesign of Blink from the 2018 relaunch of ''Comicbook/{{Exiles}}'' was inspired by Music/JanelleMonae.

* In Creator/JasonAaron's ''ComicBook/Thor2014'', Jane Foster is drawn to look like her MCU actress Creator/NataliePortman.
* ''ComicBook/NewMutants'':
** ComicBook/RachelSummers, in her first appearances, was intentionally designed to look like Music/AnnieLennox.
** ComicBook/IllyanaRasputin was designed to look like Heather O'Rourke, the child actress who played Carol-Ann in ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}''.
* Comicbook/MonicaRambeau was designed to resemble Creator/PamGrier, one of John Romita, Jr.'s favorite actresses.
* Whenever Mike Deodato draws ComicBook/NormanOsborn (see ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'', ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', etc.), he ends up looking like Creator/TommyLeeJones. Deodato has admitted that this is deliberate.
** In his more recent appearances, Norman appears to have been modelled on Julian [=McMahon=]. Which is kind of ironic [[Film/FantasticFour2005 when you think about it]]...
** Similary, whenever Deodato draws ComicBook/DoctorDoom´s unscarred face, he tends to look like Creator/VincentCassel.
* ''Comicbook/{{Blade}}'': Ever since the success of [[Film/BladeTrilogy the movies]], the character is often drawn to look like Creator/WesleySnipes.
* When she first appeared in ''Comicbook/SecretWar'', Daisy Johnson/Quake was drawn to look ''exactly'' like Creator/AngelinaJolie as she appeared in ''Film/{{Hackers}}''. As time went on, the resemblance lessened.
* Don Heck based ComicBook/PepperPotts off actress Ann B. Davis, known at the time for her role on ''The Bob Cummings Show''. She's best remembered today for playing Alice in ''Series/TheBradyBunch''.
* Before the movies, [[ComicBook/ProfessorX Charles Xavier's]] bald head and thin eyebrows were reminiscent of Creator/YulBrynner's distinct appearance. In several ComicBook/XMen books since the movies, though, Professor Xavier has noticeably been drawn more like Creator/PatrickStewart.
** Alex Ross modeled Professor Xavier after Patrick Stewart as the artist for ''ComicBook/{{Marvels}}''–[[HilariousInHindsight years before the first movie]]. He also used Creator/TimothyDalton as a model for Tony Stark.
** In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' crossover novel, written before the X-Men movie, he is also described as bearing a fair resemblance to Jean-Luc.
** This has also been reflected in other media as well, as Creator/DavidKaye in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Creator/TomKane in ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'', and Creator/JimWard in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' all have emulated Stewart in their turns as Xavier. Averted in several ''X-Men'' video games as they did actually get Patrick Stewart to reprise the role in them.
* When Walt Simonson was the writer/artist on ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'', he based Comicbook/{{Sif|Marvel Comics}}'s look on actress Creator/SigourneyWeaver and Comicbook/TheEnchantress' sister Lorelei on Debbie Harry of the punk band Music/{{Blondie}}. This was {{Lampshaded}} in [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VBgnomxhFBw/Vnp5-bXAUsI/AAAAAAAAX84/sp4MjNHYLlo/s1600-Ic42/RCO004.jpg an issue]] where a street punk tried to hit on Lorelei by asking if anyone had ever told her that she looks like "[[IAmNotShazam Blondie]]" before.
* [[http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/n/numinus.htm Numinus]], an obscure ''ComicBook/PowerPack'' character who looks like a bright-red Creator/WhoopiGoldberg in [[Creator/JackKirby Kirbyesque]] "cosmic" armor.
* Before ''Film/IronMan2'' came out, Justin Hammer was modeled on Creator/PeterCushing.
* [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], as drawn by Salvador Larocca in the current series by Matt Fraction, looks [[http://joevince3.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/iron-sawyer-3.jpg A LOT]] like Creator/JoshHolloway.
* Salvador Larocca does this with many characters in ComicBook/TheNewUniverse reimagining ''newuniversal''. He casts Creator/JoshHolloway as Kenneth Connell (Star Brand); Creator/JamesGandolfini as the father of Connell's girlfriend; [[Series/TheSopranos Vincent Pastore, Steven Van Zandt, Michael Imperioli, and Tony Sirico]] as sheriff's deputies; Creator/LeonardNimoy as a Starbrand wielder from an alternate Earth; Creator/AngelinaJolie as Dr. Jennifer Swann; Creator/JamesCromwell as her boss, Philip L. Voight; Creator/BruceWillis as Det. John Tensen (Justice); Music/{{Eminem}} as the crack dealer who put Tensen in the hospital; footballer Zinedine Zidane as a [[SerialKiller Serial]]-MercyKilling nurse who would've killed Tensen if not for the White Event; Creator/JohnnyDepp as Dr. Leonard Carson; Creator/NicoleKidman as Dr. Hannah Ballad; and Creator/GeneHackman as Jim Braddock.
* On at least one occasion (the moment when ComicBook/SpiderMan revealed his secret identity), Peter Parker and J. Jonah Jameson look very much like Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/JKSimmons, respectively.
* Early Comicbook/DoctorStrange more or less ''is'' Creator/VincentPrice.
** Creator/SteveDitko's art can make it difficult to say for certain, but his early appearances sometimes more closely resemble Film/CharlieChan actor Warner Oland.
** Morgana Blessing was based on singer Amy Grant, something her management team did not appreciate. They were worried that Grant being associated with a sorcerer like Doctor Strange would harm her standing in the Christian music community, and took legal action against Marvel. The case ultimately ended with an out-of-court settlement.
* Creator/AlexRoss based Mr. Fantastic's appearance in ''ComicBook/{{Marvels}}'' off of Russell Johnson aka TheProfessor from ''Series/GilligansIsland'' in keeping with TheSixties setting of the series.
** Ross' fully-painted artwork uses photo references for most major characters. Books like ComicBook/KingdomCome and ComicBook/{{Marvels}} actually have model credits, mostly comprised of the artist's friends and fellow comic creators. And UsefulNotes/RichardNixon as Norman Osborn.
* Creator/BrianMichaelBendis' unused script for ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'' actually calls for this, describing Archangel as "Music/KurtCobain-esque", Comicbook/{{Rogue}} as [[Music/NoDoubt a teen Gwen Stefani]], ComicBook/{{Storm}} as either Music/ErykahBadu or Music/LaurynHill, and Comicbook/{{Gambit}} as a devilish Leonardo look-a-like, probably referring to [[Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio DiCaprio.]] Beast's dad would supposedly look like Creator/MartinSheen.
* In another Bendis example, he has stated that the mother-daughter supervillain duo the [[Characters/MilesMorales Bombshells]] from ''Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan'' were based on the titular characters from ''Series/GilmoreGirls''. This is especially noticeable in the 2016 ''[[Comicbook/MilesMorales Spider-Man]]'' series, where artist Oscar Bazaldua very blatantly modeled Lori after Creator/LaurenGraham and Lana after Creator/AlexisBledel.
* ComicBook/BlackPanther supporting character Everett Ross is admittedly drawn as Creator/MichaelJFox.
** White Wolf was based on Creator/KevinSpacey as he appeared in ''Film/MidnightInTheGardenOfGoodAndEvil''.
* Frank Miller stated that Comicbook/{{Elektra}}'s appearance was based on bodybuilder Lisa Lyon.
* On ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', John Buscema modeled Captain America on Creator/BurtLancaster, Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} on Creator/AnthonyQuinn, Goliath on Robert Culp, Comicbook/{{Quicksilver}} on Creator/FredAstaire and Comicbook/TheIncredibleHercules on Steve Reeves, who portrayed Hercules in the famous Italian produced Hercules movies from the 50s. {{Lampshaded}} in an issue where a kid saw Hercules walking down the street and excitedly said it was Steve Reeves.
* Mobius M. Mobius was modeled after Marvel editor Mark Gruenwald.
* Robbie Reyes, the Comicbook/AllNewGhostRider, is based off pop singer [[Music/ZaynMalik Zayn Malik]].
* Jack Kirby's pre-cosmic ray Ben Grimm borrows the look of FilmNoir actor John Garfield.
* In the second volume of ''ComicBook/SecretAvengers'', Senator Robert Ralston, former Howling Commando and United Nations official overseeing SHIELD, is drawn to resemble a middle-aged Creator/RobertRedford.
* Comicbook/BlackWidow [[ComicBook/Marvel2099 2099]] from ''Comicbook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'' is designed to resemble Music/NickiMinaj.
* One iteration of the character Echo was designed to look like adult film actress Skin Diamond.
* Artist Gil Kane based ComicBook/{{Morbius}}' appearance on that of actor Creator/JackPalance when he created the character.
* Mike [=McKone=]'s redesign of Blink from the 2018 relaunch of ''Comicbook/{{Exiles}}'' was inspired by Music/JanelleMonae.
* Jim Starlin based Comicbook/AdamWarlock's cigar-chomping comic relief sidekick Pip the Troll on Creator/JackKirby.
* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'': After the [[Series/Daredevil2015 Netflix show]] was released, Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson were redesigned to resemble Creator/CharlieCox and Creator/EldenHenson respectively.
