* The first four films in the franchise applied [[AdaptationalVillainy adaptational villainy]] to many mutant characters (most notably ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} pool and ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}), before retconning them into different characters to make room for more fleshed out, comic-book accurate iterations. The opposite was done for the man identified as "Trask" in the third film. Played by Bill Duke, and as the United States Secretary of Defense, he is a bit-part but has no indication of being anything like the genocidal killer robot creator of his comic book counterpart or the later Creator/PeterDinklage incarnation, and his only role in the film is containing the genuinely dangerous mutants like Mystique, Juggernaut and Multiple Man.

* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} in the comics is TheStoic leader who became a FallenHero after several morally dubious actions and killing Professor X (albeit triggered by the Phoenix Force possessing him) and even at his best Cyke will [[WellIntentionedExtremist do anything]] [[GoodIsNotNice and make any sacrifices]] to safeguard mutantkind. In the films while Cyclops is not above some occasional {{Wangst}}, clinginess and being a dick, he still has far more morality than he does in the comics. The only time he verges on his comic counterpart is in ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' where he is furious and antagonistic towards Professor X, [[spoiler: though given Xavier had tampered with Jean’s mind he has every right to be angry]].
* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} while a JerkWithAHeartOfGold AntiHero at his best in the comics, is still TheBerserker whose famous quote, “I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice." (i.e. killing people), holds true. He’s [[OutlawCouple played the Clyde to Mystique’s Bonnie]] for many years, committed several crimes and has killed countless people, many of whom were innocent. Although in those cases Logan usually only killed them by accident, was unaware of what he was doing or was just simply in the wrong state of mind to notice, and he always regrets it after.

Movie Wolverine also antagonises his teammates far less and is more supportive, especially to Charles.
* Comicbook/{{Rogue}} in most other media, comics and cartoons included, is a former member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn and becomes a hero. The movies do away with her villainous backstory entirely and have her meet Xavier from the very beginning.
* Iceman is much sweeter and more mature than his comic book counterpart's JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]ManChild persona.
* The first four films in the franchise applied [[AdaptationalVillainy adaptational villainy]] to many mutant characters (most notably ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} pool and ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}), before retconning them into different characters to make room for more fleshed out, comic-book accurate iterations. The opposite was done for the man identified as "Trask" in the third film. Played by Bill Duke, and as the United States Secretary of Defense, he is a bit-part but has no indication of being anything like the genocidal killer robot creator of his comic book counterpart or the later Creator/PeterDinklage incarnation, and his only role in the film is containing the genuinely dangerous mutants like Mystique, Juggernaut and Multiple Man.
* ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'':
** ComicBook/EmmaFrost gets this, in comics she was an amoral RichBitch who remains [[TokenEvilTeammate cruel]] and aloof even after her HeelFaceTurn to good. In her film debut Emma is a quite heroic person, as she puts herself in the line of fire to protect her fellow mutants, [[TakingTheBullet blocking enemy bullets]] with her diamond power which is a level of heroism rarely seen from her in the comics. Her villainous portrayal in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' is more line with her comic counterpart.
** Creator/LievSchreiber’s ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} while still a villain and JerkAss is regardless far more reasonable than the AxCrazy beast man of the comics. In this version he genuinely cares for Logan being his older brother and instead raping and leaving of Logan’s LoveInterest Silver Fox for dead like in the original telling [[spoiler: he just fakes her death under Stryker’s orders]]. Sabretooth also works with Logan at the end and they part on good terms while in the comics they’re fierce enemies who can’t stand each other.
** ComicBook/{{Gambit}} in the comics is a professional thief and loveable scoundrel, who took part (albeit unwillingly) in the Morlock Massacre. In the movie he’s just a innocent victim of Stryker and Weapon X and his hostility and suspicion of Logan is justified as believes the latter is trying to bring him back to Three Mile Island.
* ''Film/TheWolverine'':
** Harada. In addition to [[spoiler:pulling a HeroicSacrifice to save Logan]], he's far less of a {{Jerkass}} than his comic counterpart, who is a foreigner-hating bigot.
** Yukio was much more morally ambiguous in the comics (especially in earlier appearances, where she was a mercenary/assassin/thief) than in the movie.
* ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
** ComicBook/{{Mystique}} is given a very realistic and sympathetic motivation for her StartOfDarkness moment, in contrast to her depiction in the comics. It goes so far as to establish that [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope prior to killing Bolivar Trask]], [[ThouShaltNotKill she'd never taken a single life during one of her crimes]]. [[spoiler:And additionally, she pulls a HeelFaceTurn and not only spares Trask, but rescues the president from Magneto during the climax. Presumably, this negates her role as a villain in the original trilogy via CosmicRetcon.]]
** In the comics, ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} is often an outright ''jerk'' (often intentionally), but in this film, he's more of a merry mischief-maker. He can easily flee on his own once the breakout goes bust, but instead, he goes out of his way to save Logan, Charles and Erik, even though he had already freed the latter from prison by technicality. Quicksilver is also clearly not impressed (if amused) by the idea that he helped free the person suspected of killing JFK once he finds out, [[spoiler:and is shown to be stunned and horrified by Magneto's "demonstration" in the climax]].
* ''Film/Deadpool2016'': While Deadpool is still a HeroicComedicSociopath, his love for Vanessa is presented as his biggest redeeming factor, and the movie goes to great lengths to show that [[NeverHurtAnInnocent he would never hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it]]. Contrast that with the comics, where Deadpool [[LovableSexManiac sleeps around constantly]], and he has been known to work for supervillains on the odd occasion.
** The sequel has the Juggernaut. No, really! Yeah, he's the biggest physical threat the heroes must face, but it's all to help a kid take down the BoardingSchoolOfHorrors that tortured him and many other mutant kids. The only reason anyone wants to ''stop'' this is because in Cable's future, said kid has become a notorious SerialKiller with killing the headmaster in the present as his StartOfDarkness. Zero tears are shed when said headmaster does get what's coming to him at someone else's hand.
** If the character called Yukio here is intended to be the same character as in The Wolverine (despite totally different powers; she's basically Surge by another name) then she counts here for the same reason as there, as this movie's version is one of the heroes from the start.
* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
** Mystique, a villain in the comics and in the original trilogy, has been traveling the world rescuing mutants following the events of ''Days of Future Past'', and she becomes the ''field leader of the X-Men''. She insists that she's not a hero, though.
** Comic book Quicksilver was never a member of the X-Men, but his movie counterpart is. He also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14JojQfFg5E expresses his veneration]] for Mystique's courage in defeating Magneto--his own father--and preventing the latter from assassinating President Nixon.[[note]]This confirms Peter's ReactionShot in ''Days of Future Past'' where he was astonished--in a bad way--by Magneto's actions in Washington D.C.[[/note]]
** Magneto ends the film as a friend of the X-Men. If he really ''is'' stepping out of the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor this time, it will mean he never did any of the nastier things his comics counterpart has done.
* ''Film/{{Logan}}''
** In the [[ComicBook/OldManLogan comic]] the reason why all the ComicBook/XMen are dead is because [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} (yes, ol' fish bowl head) tricked Wolverine into butchering all his friends, sending Logan into utter despair. In film, Xavier is one who killed his students and Logan is the SoleSurvivor, but this isn’t a case of AdaptationalVillainy for Charles since being the most powerful telepath and getting dementia [[PowerIncontinence is a terrible combination]]. This makes Logan’s care for Charles [[TearJerker despite what happened]] even more moving]].
** Caliban, while more of a TragicMonster, is still quite unpleasant in the comics, having tried to kidnap and marry Kitty Pryde and even having been one of Apocalypse’s horseman. In his [[Film/XMenApocalypse first film appearance]] he can be a JerkAss, but that's the worst of it, and in ''Logan'' however Caliban is a RetiredMonster who actively helps Logan and Charles, whom he cares for greatly, and he even pulls off a HeroicSacrifice helping his friends escape.
** ComicBook/{{X 23}} aka Laura herself actually gets this. In the comics she’s been a TykeBomb from a early age, even [[DarkAndTroubledPast killing some innocent people as a child assassin before having more troubled years as a teenage prostitute]] and then finally finding the X-Men and having a HeelFaceTurn. In ''Logan'' Laura while as vicious as her [[OppositeSexClone papa clone]], only kills in self defence, and apart from scaring the shit out of a gas station clerk she’s a good-natured little girl who cares greatly for her loved ones. It also helps this version of Laura [[AgeLift is younger than her comic version]] therefore more comparatively innocent.
* In ''Film/XMenDarkPhoenix'' [[spoiler: Jean herself gets this, in [[ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga the comics]] Jean thanks to being possessed by a CosmicEntity becomes DrunkWithPower causes a war with the Shi'ar Empire when she destroys a planet killing billions of lives and ultimately needs to be put down like a fiery cosmic Old Yeller. In the movie of the same name however, Jean ''[[NeverTrustATitle doesn’t become the Dark Phoenix]]'' as the worst thing she does is kill Mystique accidentally and the real villains are the D'Bari (the inhabitants of said planet, the destruction of which was caused solely by the Phoenix Force, and ''before'' the events of the film take the place) who are [[VoluntaryShapeshifter expies]] of the Skrulls]].
* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} gets this to a lesser extent, while he is undeniably a ruthless AntiVillain, his motivations and interactions with others make him far more affable than the KnightTemplar of the comics. Movie Magneto also has far less of a body count, and the people he does kill all pretty much [[AssholeVictim had it coming]] especially since some of them were literal Nazis, in the comics on the other hand Magneto has [[HeWhoFightsMonsters killed innocent human life]] and uses the “in defense of my race” excuse whenever the X-Men or Marvel’s heroes rightfully call him out on it. ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' goes the extra step further of having Mags willingly save a normal human in a steel mill, in comics while he [[DependingOnTheWriter can]] be sympathetic to human civilians, he still looks down on them and rarely goes out of his way to protect them.
* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} in the comics is TheStoic leader who became a FallenHero after several morally dubious actions and killing Professor X (albeit triggered by the Phoenix Force possessing him) and even at his best Cyke will [[WellIntentionedExtremist do anything]] [[GoodIsNotNice and make any sacrifices]] to safeguard mutantkind.

The only time he verges on his comic counterpart is in ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' where he is furious and antagonistic towards Professor X, [[spoiler: though given Xavier had tampered with Jean’s mind he has every right to be angry]].
* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} while a JerkWithAHeartOfGold AntiHero at his best in the comics, is still TheBerserker whose famous quote, “I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice." (i.e. killing people), holds true. He’s [[OutlawCouple played the Clyde to Mystique’s Bonnie]] for many years, committed several crimes and has killed countless people, many of whom were innocent. Although in those cases Logan usually only killed them by accident, was unaware of what he was doing or was just simply in the wrong state of mind to notice, and he always regrets it after. In the films, Wolverine even during his mercenary or Weapon X days is shown to be a good man who does genuinely care for others besides himself, won’t stand to see helpless people get hurt and doesn’t always need a MoralityPet to inspire him to do the right thing, which is often the case in the comics. Movie Wolverine also antagonises his teammates far less and is more supportive, especially to Charles.
* Comicbook/{{Rogue}} in most other media, comics and cartoons included, is a former member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn and becomes a hero. The movies do away with her villainous backstory entirely and have her meet Xavier from the very beginning.
* Iceman is much sweeter and more mature than his comic book counterpart's JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]ManChild persona.
* The first four films in the franchise applied [[AdaptationalVillainy adaptational villainy]] to many mutant characters (most notably ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} pool and ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}), before retconning them into different characters to make room for more fleshed out, comic-book accurate iterations. The opposite was done for the man identified as "Trask" in the third film. Played by Bill Duke, and as the United States Secretary of Defense, he is a bit-part but has no indication of being anything like the genocidal killer robot creator of his comic book counterpart or the later Creator/PeterDinklage incarnation, and his only role in the film is containing the genuinely dangerous mutants like Mystique, Juggernaut and Multiple Man.
* ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'':
** ComicBook/EmmaFrost gets this, in comics she was an amoral RichBitch who remains [[TokenEvilTeammate cruel]] and aloof even after her HeelFaceTurn to good. In her film debut Emma is a quite heroic person, as she puts herself in the line of fire to protect her fellow mutants, [[TakingTheBullet blocking enemy bullets]] with her diamond power which is a level of heroism rarely seen from her in the comics. Her villainous portrayal in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' is more line with her comic counterpart.
** Creator/LievSchreiber’s ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} while still a villain and JerkAss is regardless far more reasonable than the AxCrazy beast man of the comics. In this version he genuinely cares for Logan being his older brother and instead raping and leaving of Logan’s LoveInterest Silver Fox for dead like in the original telling [[spoiler: he just fakes her death under Stryker’s orders]]. Sabretooth also works with Logan at the end and they part on good terms while in the comics they’re fierce enemies who can’t stand each other.
** ComicBook/{{Gambit}} in the comics is a professional thief and loveable scoundrel, who took part (albeit unwillingly) in the Morlock Massacre. In the movie he’s just a innocent victim of Stryker and Weapon X and his hostility and suspicion of Logan is justified as believes the latter is trying to bring him back to Three Mile Island.
* ''Film/TheWolverine'':
** Harada. In addition to [[spoiler:pulling a HeroicSacrifice to save Logan]], he's far less of a {{Jerkass}} than his comic counterpart, who is a foreigner-hating bigot.
** Yukio was much more morally ambiguous in the comics (especially in earlier appearances, where she was a mercenary/assassin/thief) than in the movie.
* ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
** ComicBook/{{Mystique}} is given a very realistic and sympathetic motivation for her StartOfDarkness moment, in contrast to her depiction in the comics. It goes so far as to establish that [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope prior to killing Bolivar Trask]], [[ThouShaltNotKill she'd never taken a single life during one of her crimes]]. [[spoiler:And additionally, she pulls a HeelFaceTurn and not only spares Trask, but rescues the president from Magneto during the climax. Presumably, this negates her role as a villain in the original trilogy via CosmicRetcon.]]
** In the comics, ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} is often an outright ''jerk'' (often intentionally), but in this film, he's more of a merry mischief-maker. He can easily flee on his own once the breakout goes bust, but instead, he goes out of his way to save Logan, Charles and Erik, even though he had already freed the latter from prison by technicality. Quicksilver is also clearly not impressed (if amused) by the idea that he helped free the person suspected of killing JFK once he finds out, [[spoiler:and is shown to be stunned and horrified by Magneto's "demonstration" in the climax]].
* ''Film/Deadpool2016'': While Deadpool is still a HeroicComedicSociopath, his love for Vanessa is presented as his biggest redeeming factor, and the movie goes to great lengths to show that [[NeverHurtAnInnocent he would never hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it]]. Contrast that with the comics, where Deadpool [[LovableSexManiac sleeps around constantly]], and he has been known to work for supervillains on the odd occasion.
** The sequel has the Juggernaut. No, really! Yeah, he's the biggest physical threat the heroes must face, but it's all to help a kid take down the BoardingSchoolOfHorrors that tortured him and many other mutant kids. The only reason anyone wants to ''stop'' this is because in Cable's future, said kid has become a notorious SerialKiller with killing the headmaster in the present as his StartOfDarkness. Zero tears are shed when said headmaster does get what's coming to him at someone else's hand.
** If the character called Yukio here is intended to be the same character as in The Wolverine (despite totally different powers; she's basically Surge by another name) then she counts here for the same reason as there, as this movie's version is one of the heroes from the start.
* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
** Mystique, a villain in the comics and in the original trilogy, has been traveling the world rescuing mutants following the events of ''Days of Future Past'', and she becomes the ''field leader of the X-Men''. She insists that she's not a hero, though.
** Comic book Quicksilver was never a member of the X-Men, but his movie counterpart is. He also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14JojQfFg5E expresses his veneration]] for Mystique's courage in defeating Magneto--his own father--and preventing the latter from assassinating President Nixon.[[note]]This confirms Peter's ReactionShot in ''Days of Future Past'' where he was astonished--in a bad way--by Magneto's actions in Washington D.C.[[/note]]
** Magneto ends the film as a friend of the X-Men. If he really ''is'' stepping out of the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor this time, it will mean he never did any of the nastier things his comics counterpart has done.
* ''Film/{{Logan}}''
** In the [[ComicBook/OldManLogan comic]] the reason why all the ComicBook/XMen are dead is because [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} (yes, ol' fish bowl head) tricked Wolverine into butchering all his friends, sending Logan into utter despair. In film, Xavier is one who killed his students and Logan is the SoleSurvivor, but this isn’t a case of AdaptationalVillainy for Charles since being the most powerful telepath and getting dementia [[PowerIncontinence is a terrible combination]]. This makes Logan’s care for Charles [[TearJerker despite what happened]] even more moving]].
** Caliban, while more of a TragicMonster, is still quite unpleasant in the comics, having tried to kidnap and marry Kitty Pryde and even having been one of Apocalypse’s horseman. In his [[Film/XMenApocalypse first film appearance]] he can be a JerkAss, but that's the worst of it, and in ''Logan'' however Caliban is a RetiredMonster who actively helps Logan and Charles, whom he cares for greatly, and he even pulls off a HeroicSacrifice helping his friends escape.
** ComicBook/{{X 23}} aka Laura herself actually gets this. In the comics she’s been a TykeBomb from a early age, even [[DarkAndTroubledPast killing some innocent people as a child assassin before having more troubled years as a teenage prostitute]] and then finally finding the X-Men and having a HeelFaceTurn. In ''Logan'' Laura while as vicious as her [[OppositeSexClone papa clone]], only kills in self defence, and apart from scaring the shit out of a gas station clerk she’s a good-natured little girl who cares greatly for her loved ones. It also helps this version of Laura [[AgeLift is younger than her comic version]] therefore more comparatively innocent.
* In ''Film/XMenDarkPhoenix'' [[spoiler: Jean herself gets this, in [[ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga the comics]] Jean thanks to being possessed by a CosmicEntity becomes DrunkWithPower causes a war with the Shi'ar Empire when she destroys a planet killing billions of lives and ultimately needs to be put down like a fiery cosmic Old Yeller. In the movie of the same name however, Jean ''[[NeverTrustATitle doesn’t become the Dark Phoenix]]'' as the worst thing she does is kill Mystique accidentally and the real villains are the D'Bari (the inhabitants of said planet, the destruction of which was caused solely by the Phoenix Force, and ''before'' the events of the film take the place) who are [[VoluntaryShapeshifter expies]] of the Skrulls]].
