* ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'': The series is a lot more laid back in tone than the cartoon it was based on, to the point of even seeming to skew toward a younger audience in its first issues, with {{Chibi}}-fied characters making jokes, simple riddles, and games for the reader, and even when it later incorporated the show's more complex plots, they are considerably smaller in scope.

* Franchise/{{Superman}} was originally a much rougher and reckless tough guy who was eager to terrorize his enemies and even kill his enemies when suitable. There was even a story where Superman sought to encourage urban renewal by going on a rampage smashing up slums. Within a few years, Superman was changed into his more familiar big boy scout personality.

* Franchise/{{Superman}} ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** Due to the writers's different interpretations of what Kara Zor-El is/should be, ''Supergirl'''s runs/books/series tend to go from depressing and angsty to optimistic and light-hearted before switching back to dark again.
** ''ComicBook/Supergirl2005'': Joe Kelly's run, where Kara was depicted as an angsty, perpetually depressed adolescent who believes is being coerced into murdering someone was followed by Sterling Gates' run, where she was a maturing woman who was finding her place in the world, feeling pretty happy with her life at the end.
** ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'' was also considerably wackier, funnier and light-hearted than the then-ongoing book, featuring crazy Silver Age-esque antics instead of ''Supergirl getting depressed''.
** In ''ComicBook/WednesdayComics'', the ''[[ComicBook/SupergirlWednesdayComics Supergirl story]]'' is more humorous, heartwarming, and less intense than the others. The story follows Supergirl as she tries to figure out why Krypto and Streaky are going berserk. The Super Pets' antics cause a lot of destruction, but it's played for laughs, and nobody gets seriously hurt or killed. Also, as it turns out, the story's "villains" have totally benign intentions, and Supergirl is ultimately able to communicate with them and resolve the conflict peacefully.

* Jason Todd aka ComicBook/RedHood has undergone this in recent years. When he first made his debut/resurrection in ''Batman: Under the Hood'' he was an AxCrazy FallenHero who would go much further than PayEvilUntoEvil, by being a pimp and a drug lord who killed cops and civilians who got in his way and even tried to kill Tim Drake. By the time of ''ComicBook/TheNew52'', Jason is a lot calmer and nicer and has less violent interactions with the Bat-Family, who have come to accept him despite his violent tendencies. By the time of ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' Jason has mellowed out so much he actually spares villains like Black Mask out of loyalty to Bruce.

* The 1994 ContinuityReboot of ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}''. Over the previous decade, the comic had been hemorrhaging readers for years, having gone from happy young superheroes in a bright and shiny future to cynical adults struggling to hold society together (and the insanely complex ContinuitySnarl that came about after ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''). So, the comic started over at the beginning with a focus on youth and idealism. (It got DarkerAndEdgier again when Creator/DanAbnett and Andy Lanning took over writing duties years later, but that's another story.)

* ''ComicBook/TinyTitans'' is an even lighter version of ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' compared to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the TV show]]. It takes places in a bright happy world where some of the worst things the elementary school Titans need to worry about are: embarrassingly loving father Trigon, grumpy lunch lady Darkseid, and stern principal Slade. In both versions of Teen Titans, Trigon is a demon who wishes to conquer Earth and turn it into hell, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} is out to conquer all life, and Slade is an amoral mercenary and assassin. To say nothing of the comic version Starfire's [[MostCommonSuperpower character design]]...
