  1. Cyborg from the 2003 Teen Titans Tv series. .
  2. Every other character i can think of is a pale imitation of their comic book counterpart.
  3. I,m sure there are others..But since ive read alot of comics in my day i usually come across the characters well before the films and learn to enjoy them while they grow on me after reading multiple issues.

Drax the Destroyer. I've always found the comic character to be unbelievably one-note and uninteresting. The totally literal part of the movie character is fine, but I really like how he just starts laughing hysterically when things get violent or dangerous.

I think Blade goes without saying.

John Stewart Green Lantern.

Lagoon Boy, Cheshire, and several other Young Justice characters were more interesting in the show than they were in the comic. It's hard to narrow down.

There are really too many to name. Comic books aren't some sacred, infallible medium that makes everything better. It's totally logical that adaptions would take only the best parts of each character and then improve on the rest.

I don't know if this matters, but I feel like it might need to be pointed out the DCAU is where Harley Quinn came from in the first place. If everyone involved already knew that...pretend I wasn't dumb enough to post this, please :)

Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio)

Loki (Tom Hiddleston)

and the third is hard it comes down to who i like the least in the comics i guess cause i think the movies hit it perfectly with Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Wolverine actors i just don't know but as i scroll up for inspirations it becomes clear i forgot about walking dead !

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)

I don't enough enough about Deathstroke to confirm, but I really liked the Teen Titans version. That version embodied the whole "evil batman" concept.
