!!Western Animation
* Colonel Moss from ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'' was heavily based on [[ComicBook/UltimateXMen Ultimate]] John Wraith, right down to having the same mustache and a backstory involving Wolverine scarring his face.

* ComicBook/XMen:
** Happened all the way back during the creation of the ComicBook/XMen by [[Creator/StanLee Stan "The Man" Lee himself]]. When creating the original team of five, Lee decided he wanted to re-use the character of the ComicBook/HumanTorch, but with ice powers instead of fire. The youngest member of the team, and also the most irresponsible and hot-headed, with the opposite super power...say hello to ComicBook/{{Iceman}}!

** Kieron Gillen [[WordOfGod has said]] (on ''Podcast/HouseToAstonish'') that Teon from ''ComicBook/GenerationHope'' is a character from his ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' comic reinvented as a superhero.
** Abigail Brand's half-brother Lothi in the ''S.W.O.R.D'' spin-off has major similarities of appearance and personality to ComicBook/TankGirl's boyfriend Booga. Each character is a LovableRogue who isn't as cool as he tries to be and looks like a [[BeastMan humanised kangaroo]] (which Booga actually is). About the only difference is that he's green.

!!Live-Action Films
* ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
** The future Sentinels bear more than a passing resemblance to The Destroyer from ''Film/{{Thor}}'', with their height, metallic exterior, [[NighInvulnerable Nigh-Invulnerability]], and faces that open up to reveal a DeathRay.
** Their grey coloration, lack of facial features apart from monochromatic eyes and adaptability also evoke the version of Amazo from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
* ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'': In the comics, adamantium is a man-made metal that was created in a laboratory. The movie instead establishes that adamantium comes from a meteorite that crashed in a small African nation, where the locals worship it as a sacred treasure. That's pretty much ''exactly'' like vibranium, the Wakandan metal from the ''Comicbook/BlackPanther'' and ''Comicbook/CaptainAmerica'' comics.
