** In the comics, Karl Morgenthau led the U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. extremist organization under the name Flag-Smasher. In the series, ''[[GenderFlip Karli]]'' Morgenthau is instead the leader of a group of extremists who are collectively known as the Flag Smashers.
** Lemar Hoskins is a downplayed example - while his real name and codename (Battlestar) are taken straight from the comics, his comic self used the codename [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes Bucky]] for a time before becoming Battlestar, while in the show, he's Battlestar from the get-go. Justified, as the original codename had UnfortunateImplications which writer Mark Gruenwald had been unaware of at the time ("buck" being a derogatory term for a black man), and unlike in the comics, Bucky's name is treated only as his name, and not as a [[LegacyCharacter legacy identity]].
* ''Series/{{Hawkeye 2021}}'':
** Jacques Duquesne's first name is changed to the more American-sounding "Jack," presumably because this version of the character grew up in the United States instead of the French protectorate Sin-Cong.
** Maya Lopez's father is named William Lopez, unlike in the comics, where he was called Willie "Crazy Horse" Lincoln, with Maya's surname [[NomDeMom coming from her mom]].
* ''Series/JessicaJones2015''
** Though not obvious at first, there is Jessica herself. In the comics, Jessica's birth name was Jessica Campbell and she is later adopted by the Jones family after her accident. In the show, her last name has always been Jones, which was not changed by her adoption.
** Subverted with Trish Walker (from ''Comicbook/PatsyWalker''), with Patsy being an AffectionateNickname used by fans of her previous TV show; her real name is Patricia and both Patsy and Trish are uncommon nicknames.
** Zebediah Killgrave's is modified to "Kilgrave". [[spoiler: Or seems to be, as his real name is Kevin Thompson and hence "Kilgrave" is his nickname.]]
** Malcolm Powder becomes Malcolm Ducasse.
** Frank Simpson (the supervillain Nuke) is renamed Will Simpson. This is for two reasons: the first is to hide the plot twist, and the second is to avoid name confusion with Frank Castle / The Punisher, who was about to be introduced in Season 2 of ''Series/Daredevil2015''.
** The Whizzer's name is changed from Robert Frank to Robert Coleman.
* In ''Series/LukeCage2016'', Cottonmouth's real name is changed from Cornell Cottonmouth to Cornell ''Stokes''. [[BerserkButton And he absolutely hates being called]] [[EmbarrassingNickname "Cottonmouth"]].
* In ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'', Molly is {{Race Lift}}ed from white to Latina, with her last name changing from "Hayes" to "Hernandez" as a result.
* ''Series/WandaVision'': Django and Marya Maximoff are renamed Oleg and Irina Maximoff.

Changed line(s) 1,24 (click to see context) from:
* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** The Infinity Gems are known as the Infinity Stones. Similarly, the Cosmic Cube was renamed the Tesseract.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'':
*** Comicbook/{{Drax|The Destroyer}} is the character's real name, as opposed to the comics, where his name is Arthur Douglas and Drax is a CodeName. This is keeping with the AdaptationSpeciesChange Drax went through, going from a human that was turned into a living weapon in the comics to an alien for the film.
*** Carina Tivan, the human-looking daughter of the Collector in the comics, is changed to a red-skinned alien simply known as "Carina" in the movie.
** ''Film/AntMan1'':
*** [[ComicBook/AntMan Henry Pym]]'s daughter has her name changed from "[[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 Hope Pym]]" to "Hope Van Dyne," Van Dyne being [[NomDeMom the maiden name of Hope's mother and Pym's wife, Janet]].
*** Scott's ex-wife is called Maggie rather than Peggy, likely to avoid confusion with [[Series/AgentCarter Peggy Carter]]. It helps that both Peggy and Maggie are nicknames derived from Margaret.
** ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'':
*** A weird case for Ulysses Klaue/Klaw. In the comics, his birth name is Ulysses Klaue, before he anglicized it to Ulysses Klaw. However, in the movies he doesn't change his birth name at all.
*** ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'s [[spoiler: kids have their names changed from Callum, Lewis, and Nicole to Cooper, Lila, and Nathaniel]].
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', Miriam's dead son has his name changed from Damian Sharpe to Charlie Spencer.
** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' subverts the trope in two memorable instances.
*** Peter's love interest "Liz" turns out to be [[spoiler: the daughter of Adrian Toomes ("The Vulture")]], presumably meaning that her name is [[spoiler: Liz Toomes rather than Liz Allan]]. But since the movie strictly adheres to OnlyOneName with the teenage characters, her full name is never actually said.
*** Peter's quirky female classmate, who is hinted to be [[BettyAndVeronica a possible future love interest]], turns out to be nicknamed "[[Comicbook/MaryJaneWatson MJ]]"--but it stands for "Michelle Jones", not "Mary Jane". According to WordOfGod, Michelle is meant to be a [[CanonForeigner wholly original character]], despite having the same nickname as Mary Jane Watson.
** In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', [[Comicbook/{{Killmonger}} Erik Killmonger]]'s American name is changed to Erik Stevens, with Killmonger being a military nickname. His Wakandan birth name is still N'Jadaka though.
** In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', the Black Order are called "the Children of Thanos". Additionally, Black Dwarf is renamed "Cull Obsidian."
** In ''{{Film/Captain Marvel|2019}}'':
*** Carol's cat is called "Goose" rather than "Chewie," changing the homage from ''Franchise/StarWars'' to ''Film/TopGun''.
*** Carol's Air Force callsign is changed from "Cheeseburger" to [[spoiler:"Avenger," with Comicbook/NickFury using it as the inspiration for his future superteam]].
*** [[spoiler:Due to ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}'s GenderFlip, she went by "''Wendy'' Lawson" on Earth, not "Walter."]]
** In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', it's heavily implied that [[spoiler:"Quentin Beck" is an alias used by ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} to further his superhero backstory, whereas in the comics, it's his real name. His collaborators only address him as "boss", and his real name, if it is indeed something else, is not revealed.]]
** ''Film/BlackWidow2021'': [[spoiler:Comicbook/{{Taskmaster}}'s name is changed from Anthony "Tony" Masters to [[GenderFlip Antonia]] Dreykov.]]
** In ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', Shang-Chi's sister is named Xialing instead of [[Literature/FuManchu Fah Lo Suee]]. The reason for this was because Marvel [[ExiledFromContinuity no longer has the rights]] to the Fu Manchu characters, [[EnforcedTrope requiring this trope]].
** The Infinity Gems are known as the Infinity Stones. Similarly, the Cosmic Cube was renamed the Tesseract.
