Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'': Anders, a minor character you meet at the start of Karlach's questline, was an Oathbreaker paladin during Early Access. In the full version, he's just posing as a Paladin of Tyr — and rather poorly at that. He doesn't even know the Creed of the Left Hand, something ''all'' Tyrran paladins (Tyr is also known as the One-Handed, as he is missing his right hand) should know.

* The ''Film/KickAss'' movie sees Big Daddy's backstory as a framed cop with a dead wife be genuine. In [[ComicBook/KickAss the comic]], [[spoiler:the whole thing was a lie he made up, instead being a low-life who kidnapped his daughter from his very-much alive wife and became a vigilante for kicks.]]

** TJ Combo's backstory is mostly unchanged, with one key difference. In the original series he never removed the cybernetics from his arms that got him banned from boxing in the first place, and fights to prove the world wrong. In the reboot he's gotten them removed and now fights for redemption against his old cheating ways.

** Downplayed with TJ Combo's Combo. His backstory is mostly unchanged, with one key difference. In the original series he never removed difference-- rather than keeping the cybernetics from in his arms that got him banned from boxing in the first place, and fights fighting to prove the world wrong. In wrong, he gets the reboot he's gotten them implants removed and now fights for redemption against his old cheating ways.



** In the original games Gargos was an ancient Warlord who was sealed away by a clan of warriors and makes his return only after his rival Eyedol's defeat. In the reboot he's an Ichorien who has conquered the Astral Realm and now threatens to consume the Earth too, thanks to Ultratech beckoning him over.

** Thunder's brother Eagle was originally (only mentioned in passing) to a competitor of Ultratech's tournaments who went missing. The 1996 comics, as previously stated, had him as Fulgore's real identity. In the reboot (where Eagle was eventually PromotedToPlayable) [[spoiler:he was captured by Ultratech, who put him in stasis and used his brain as a basis for Fulgore's AI, before Glacius busted him out and revived him with alien technology]].

** Fulgore was originally assumed to be one of Ultratech's machines and nothing more. In the 1996 comics, he's secretly Thunder's brother Eagle in a cyborg body. [[spoiler:The reboot essentially splits the difference, depicting Fulgore as a full robot whose AI is based on Eagle's brain.]]

** Glacius was originally a random space traveler captured by Ultratech and forced to fight for his freedom. In 2013 he's an intergalactic law enforcer whose technology is stolen by Ultratech, forcing him to mount a counterattack to retrieve it before they can misuse it.

** Ben Ferris, better known as Cinder, was originally a petty crook who was offered freedom from his sentence if he underwent Ultratech's experiments. ''KI 2013'' reimagines him as a former spec ops agent turned con artist mercenary, who was hired by ARIA to undergo the experiments and did so very willingly in order to become stronger.

** Fulgore is actually a double example. He was originally assumed to be one of Ultratech's machines and nothing more. In the 1996 comics, he's secretly Thunder's brother Eagle in a cyborg body. The reboot essentially splits the difference, depicting Fulgore as a full robot whose AI is based on Eagle's brain.
