* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}' abilities are nowhere near his comic book counterpart's. Not only are his leadership capabilities at the barest minimum, but he also seems to lack any form of hand-to-hand combat training. In addition, his [[EyeBeams optic blasts]], unrestrained, are the strength that Comic!Cyke sets as his default. Comic!Cyke's unrestrained optic blast is the X-Men's equivalent of a smart bomb and basically wipes out anything in his field of vision.
* In the movies, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s HealingFactor has been nerfed such that he is no longer immortal. In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', Wolverine could literally be knocked out by a single shot (albeit one that is well-aimed and has great stopping power) while his comic-counterpart's HealingFactor has always varied DependingOnTheWriter, that is kinda pushing it... However, the writers apparently realized this, and in the next few films, he's able to survive multiple gunshot wounds and even ''partial disintegration''. It gets even weirder when, in ''Film/TheWolverine'', he survives ''a nuke'' in a flashback scene took place ''before'' ''X2''. Furthermore, Wolverine can be still killed by decapitation as his regenerative ability cannot heal entire body parts.
* ComicBook/JeanGrey, whose telekinesis gives her the ability to... levitate a single object at a time... if she tries really hard. Oh, and throw frisbees. Needless, to say, the comics version can do a lot more than that, even without the Phoenix Force. Jean can also only use [[AmplifierArtifact Cerebro]] for only a few seconds before passing out, in the comics she easily gets the hang of it and eventually can use it more effectively than ComicBook/ProfessorX can. The new timeline Jean isn't any better, as in ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' as powerful as Jean is she's still pretty much the mutant equivalent to Literature/{{Carrie}}, compared to the planet-busting Phoenix of the comics who has gone toe to toe with Galactus.

* A particularly sad example is ComicBook/{{Rogue}} in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. In the comics, she started out as an insecure and depressed girl who didn't have control over her powers but grew into them and become a self-confident badass. The first film had her as the insecure, depressed girl, and the second took steps to develop her power control and confidence... only for a change in directors to completely [[AbortedArc neuter]] this storyline in the third movie and make her just as weak as she was in the first film and ending with her removing her powers altogether. Furthermore, in the comics she has [[FlyingBrick super strength and flight]] which she gained after permanently draining the energy of the superhero [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], while in the movie she lacks these abilities completely. Creator/AnnaPaquin has said this is one of her biggest regrets with the role, as she really wanted to fly and kick some ass at some point.
* ComicBook/{{Jubilee|MarvelComics}} while her “glittery fireworks” powers seem lame in the comics, they are actually “[[HavingABlast Lumikinetic Explosives]]” which at full power can can destroy an entire forest and has the potential “detonate matter at a sub-atomic level” like a h-bomb. In the films Jubilee’s power ''are'' lame, seen in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' where all she does with her power is short circuit a arcade machine to get some quarters back to Jean. It also doesn’t help that Jubilee was almost entirely DemotedToExtra, only showing off her powers once before in a DeletedScene in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' where she makes sparks come out of her fingers, which again is a highly underwhelming display of her mutant power.
* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} in the comics naturally possesses some resistance to telepathy, but ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' shows that he's [[spoiler: ''completely'' vulnerable to Xavier's power]] if he doesn't wear the helmet. Moreover, ComicBook/EmmaFrost was able to [[Film/XMenFirstClass enter his mind and access his traumatic childhood memories]], causing him to collapse in extreme pain. His power set is also limited to being able to telekinetically bend and move metal as opposed to using various magnetic abilities (such as his use of force fields).
* Speaking of Emma Frost she gets this twice, in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' she's just a glorified bullet shield with her diamond powers and in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' her telepathic abilities are much less potent compared to comics (where she's on par with Jean Grey). The aforementioned Magneto defeats her in a diamond form with a bedstead and in ''Days of Future Past'' she's unceremoniously killed offscreen.

Hell, she can only utilize the full extent of her WeatherManipulation ''when she's outside'' unlike the comics where she can shoot lightning from her hands ''anytime she wants''. In the first movie Storm is overpowered and knocked down an elevator shaft by Toad. True she gets a HeroicSecondWind but the fact Toad is able to taunt and intimidate Storm despite her being far more powerful than him is very telling. The sequels don't do Storm any favors either; instead of blowing her foes to kingdom come, she only ever provides cover and support to Wolverine and co.

* ComicBook/{{Jubilee}} while her “glittery fireworks” powers seem lame in the comics, they are actually “[[HavingABlast Lumikinetic Explosives]]” which at full power can can destroy an entire forest and has the potential “detonate matter at a sub-atomic level” like a h-bomb. In the films Jubilee’s power ''are'' lame, seen in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' where all she does with her power is short circuit a arcade machine to get some quarters back to Jean. It also doesn’t help that Jubilee was almost entirely DemotedToExtra, only showing off her powers once before in a DeletedScene in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' where she makes sparks come out of her fingers, which again is a highly underwhelming display of her mutant power.

Added DiffLines:
* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}' abilities are nowhere near his comic book counterpart's. Not only are his leadership capabilities at the barest minimum, but he also seems to lack any form of hand-to-hand combat training. In addition, his [[EyeBeams optic blasts]], unrestrained, are the strength that Comic!Cyke sets as his default. Comic!Cyke's unrestrained optic blast is the X-Men's equivalent of a smart bomb and basically wipes out anything in his field of vision.
* In the movies, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s HealingFactor has been nerfed such that he is no longer immortal. In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', Wolverine could literally be knocked out by a single shot (albeit one that is well-aimed and has great stopping power) while his comic-counterpart's HealingFactor has always varied DependingOnTheWriter, that is kinda pushing it... However, the writers apparently realized this, and in the next few films, he's able to survive multiple gunshot wounds and even ''partial disintegration''. It gets even weirder when, in ''Film/TheWolverine'', he survives ''a nuke'' in a flashback scene took place ''before'' ''X2''. Furthermore, Wolverine can be still killed by decapitation as his regenerative ability cannot heal entire body parts.
* ComicBook/JeanGrey, whose telekinesis gives her the ability to... levitate a single object at a time... if she tries really hard. Oh, and throw frisbees. Needless, to say, the comics version can do a lot more than that, even without the Phoenix Force. Jean can also only use [[AmplifierArtifact Cerebro]] for only a few seconds before passing out, in the comics she easily gets the hang of it and eventually can use it more effectively than ComicBook/ProfessorX can. The new timeline Jean isn't any better, as in ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' as powerful as Jean is she's still pretty much the mutant equivalent to Literature/{{Carrie}}, compared to the planet-busting Phoenix of the comics who has gone toe to toe with Galactus.
* ComicBook/{{Storm}} is ''embarrassingly pathetic'' compared to her comic counterpart. Hell, she can only utilize the full extent of her WeatherManipulation ''when she's outside'' unlike the comics where she can shoot lightning from her hands ''anytime she wants''. In the first movie Storm is overpowered and knocked down an elevator shaft by Toad. True she gets a HeroicSecondWind but the fact Toad is able to taunt and intimidate Storm despite her being far more powerful than him is very telling. The sequels don't do Storm any favors either; instead of blowing her foes to kingdom come, she only ever provides cover and support to Wolverine and co. Sometimes she summons a lightning bolt or two ''but that's it''.
* A particularly sad example is ComicBook/{{Rogue}} in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. In the comics, she started out as an insecure and depressed girl who didn't have control over her powers but grew into them and become a self-confident badass. The first film had her as the insecure, depressed girl, and the second took steps to develop her power control and confidence... only for a change in directors to completely [[AbortedArc neuter]] this storyline in the third movie and make her just as weak as she was in the first film and ending with her removing her powers altogether. Furthermore, in the comics she has [[FlyingBrick super strength and flight]] which she gained after permanently draining the energy of the superhero [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], while in the movie she lacks these abilities completely. Creator/AnnaPaquin has said this is one of her biggest regrets with the role, as she really wanted to fly and kick some ass at some point.

* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} in the comics naturally possesses some resistance to telepathy, but ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' shows that he's [[spoiler: ''completely'' vulnerable to Xavier's power]] if he doesn't wear the helmet. Moreover, ComicBook/EmmaFrost was able to [[Film/XMenFirstClass enter his mind and access his traumatic childhood memories]], causing him to collapse in extreme pain. His power set is also limited to being able to telekinetically bend and move metal as opposed to using various magnetic abilities (such as his use of force fields).
* Speaking of Emma Frost she gets this twice, in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' she's just a glorified bullet shield with her diamond powers and in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' her telepathic abilities are much less potent compared to comics (where she's on par with Jean Grey). The aforementioned Magneto defeats her in a diamond form with a bedstead and in ''Days of Future Past'' she's unceremoniously killed offscreen.
* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is regarded as one of Marvel's best comic book anti-heroes because he's a crazy [[RealityWarper reality altering]] AxCrazy assassin who is nearly unstoppable. In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', he's downgraded to [[BigBad Colonel Stryker's]] attack dog, without permission to speak or even think for himself, doing whatever his boss says without question. [[spoiler:Eventually, he gets his [[MouthStitchedShut mouth sewn shut]] and his brain built with cybernetic implants that makes him Stryker's entirely remote-controlled, robotic servant without free will or his own skill whatsoever. Because Stryker is in control over Deadpool, the former causes the latter to lose easily to Wolverine and Sabretooth after they decapitate him.]] However, his [[Film/{{Deadpool 2016}} solo film]] redeems him after the writers realized his wasted potential.
* In ''Film/Deadpool2'', one of the final threats to show up is [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/JuggernautMarvelComics Juggernaut]]]]. Though he's depicted as very powerful, able to smash through obstacles, lift buses and overwhelm Colossus, he's far from invincible and eventually gets knocked out by a BigDamnHeroes moment from NTW and her girlfriend, something his comics version likely wouldn't have even been slowed down by. Admittedly, he [[FunnyBackgroundEvent gets back up minutes later]].
** It's fair to note that ComicBook/{{Cable}} technically gets this in ''Deadpool 2'' as well, despite Creator/JoshBrolin's badass portrayal. In the comics Cable actually has [[MindOverMatter powerful psychic abilities]] (since he's Jean Grey's son), while movie Cable ''only'' uses guns and his cybernetic arm, instead of any telepathic powers. Cable is also repeatedly matched in combat by Deadpool, even when Wade was wearing a PowerNullifier, while in comics [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11116/111168413/4744428-1261936-cable_deadpool_02_02.jpg Cable can demolish Deadpool without any effort]].
** Barring Comicbook/{{Domino|MarvelComics}}, who stays as dangerous as ever, and Peter, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg who just showed up for the ad]], the members of ComicBook/XForce all go through this. In the comics, though they're considered C-list, they're all at least reasonably competent. In the movie, they're depicted as SuperZeroes who end up dying in BloodyHilarious fashion within less than a minute of their first mission.
* ''Film/TheNewMutants'':
** ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} probably gets hit with the hardest with this out of all the team. In the comics Roberto is easily one of the most [[SuperStrength strongest]] mutants ''period'' due to being able to convert solar energy into physical strength, letting him lift well over 50 tons (if not more) as well granting him {{flight}}, [[PlayingWithFire Thermokinesis]] and [[LightEmUp Photokinesis]]. In the film, Sunspot can’t fly, can’t manipulate solar energy and at best lifts a chapel bench in the climax and easily gets pushed into a pool by Dr Reyes ''with just a broom''. His powers appear to be fire based [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange instead]] of sun based as well, making him a discount Human Torch.
** Cannonball spends most of the movie terrified of using his “Thermo-Chemical Energy” powers but even when Sam does use his power, it’s nothing to write home about compared to the comic. In the comics Cannonball is a FlyingBrick with his “blast field” being able to act as a [[BarrierWarrior force field]] that can protect himself and trap his enemies, and he’s defeated the likes of [[SupermanSubstitute Gladiator]]. In the film we barely see Sam fly and he’s knocked down fairly easily by the Demon Bear in the climax.
** Wolfsbane while she lacks flashier powers of the aforementioned boys is still no pushover in the comics. Besides her [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent lycanthropy]], Rahne has a variety of powers such as enhanced senses, enhanced vision, a HealingFactor and later gets a secondary mutation that allows her extend her claws like Wolverine and can even [[SelfDuplication split herself into a a pack of five wolves]]. In the film Rahne just gets hairy and feral, even [[spoiler: Dr Reyes]] can throw her off when Rahne jumps on her back and starts clawing. Worse still she doesn’t help out in the climax beyond carrying an unconscious Dani around and giving her moral support.
** [[spoiler: Lockheed, in the comics he’s not just TeamPet and is actually an incredibly powerful little dragon having fought the Brood and survived ''ComicBook/SecretWars1984''. In the film, he spends most of the movie as Illyana’s SockPuppet and then her summoned familiar and displays no real independent intelligence like the comic version]].
* The most egregious example by far however is the eponymous villain in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', in the comics [[ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} En Sabah Nur]] is right up there with the likes of Thanos and Darkseid when it comes to being a hulking InvincibleVillain. In the film Apocalypse is... just another powerful Mutant, but worse still he's smaller, [[MemeticMutation Ivan Ooze-esque]] and his molecule controlling powers are undefined, underused and inconsistent. It's pretty egregious in the FinalBattle where he's telepathically matched by Professor X and then destroyed by CombinationAttack of the X-Men and Jean's Phoenix Force powers. For reference in the comics when the X-Men and ComicBook/TheInhumans (including ComicBook/BlackBolt [[MakeMeWannaShout who can shatter planets with his voice]]) did a similar combined attack against Apocalypse, and it was reduced to TheWorfBarrage as Apocalypse '''[[http://i.imgur.com/EswanlP.jpg just tanked it]]'''.
