History CompositeCharacter / XMenFilmSeries

** After Comicbook/{{Beast|MarvelComics}} was removed from the script for the movie due to budgetary concerns, elements of his character were grafted onto [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesJeanGrey Jean Grey]]. Jean takes his place as the team's medical and scientific expert, and scenes written for Beast ended up being given to her.

** Jason Stryker is a composite of three comic characters: Jason Wyngarde (a.k.a. Mastermind), from whom he gets his first name and powers; Reverend Stryker's unnamed mutant child from the ''ComicBook/GodLovesManKills'' graphic novel (though his name was eventually revealed to be Jason as well as [[{{Retcanon}} a nod to the movie]]); and Comicbook/ProfessorX's autistic son David Haller (a.k.a. Comicbook/{{Legion|Marvel Comics}}), from whom he gets his mismatched eyes, multiple personalities, and insanity.

** Comicbook/{{Magneto}} cripples Xavier, something that was done by the alien Lucifer in the comics.

** Comicbook/RachelSummers' role in [[ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast the original comic]] is given to ComicBook/KittyPryde. Likewise, Kitty's role in the original is given to Wolverine.

** En Sabah Nur incorporates elements of The Shadow King; he meets and mentors a young Comicbook/{{Storm}} in Egypt, is an incorporeal entity that periodically possesses human hosts, and telepathically duels Xavier. His GrandTheftMe and PowerParasite abilities also recall Proteus.

** [[spoiler:The modified crops Transigen made to kill mutants combines both the depowering of mutants after ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' (in part since the events of ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' had the villains rise up after ''ComicBook/CivilWar'') and the Legacy Virus (a stand-in for AIDS during the '90s comics).]]

** While Vanessa is Copycat in the comics (though she's so far just a normal human in the films), the movie gives her a role more similar to that of [[spoiler:Death's, being Wade's lover who only appears to him during near-death moments]].

** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} is Wolverine's teenage ward with angst instead of ComicBook/KittyPryde or [[ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics Jubilee]].

** The film went along with the comic book's then (and rather compelling) implication of Dog Logan and Victor Creed/ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} being the same individual. Years later however, the comics show Dog and Sabretooth as not being the same person. Movie Victor also takes on Rose's role from the ''Origin'' comic as the person who helped Logan run away.

Thanks to the massive cast of characters in the comics, composite characters are pervasive in ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''.

** Ichirō, the Silver Samurai, is a a somewhat confusing example. He's a CanonForeigner who takes Shingen's role from the [[ComicBook/FrankMillersWolverine original story]] as the BigBad who is also related to Mariko (being Shingen's father and Mariko's grandfather; [[DecompositeCharacter Shingen is also in the movie, just not as the main antagonist]]), but his suit of PoweredArmor is taken from Shin Harada, the second Silver Samurai from the comics.

** Comicbook/NegasonicTeenageWarhead's powers are completely redone so that she now has propulsive energy abilities instead of telepathy. She was essentially given the abilities of Cannonball, who was originally going to be one of the X-Men in the movie before he was written out and replaced with NTW.
