Interestingly, both mutilations actually belonged to two different characters in the comics. The left leg amputation actually belonged to Dale (see above), while the beheading belonged to Tyreese.

While the mutilation is less severe in the show ([[AnArmAndALeg he got his arm chopped-off instead]]), it was done so because he [[ZombieInfectee got bitten]].

** In the comics' BadFuture Flash storyline, the future Wally West is dead. Here, he's SparedByTheAdaptation and becomes paraplegic and shell-shocked. This storyline actually belongs to Iris in the comics, whereas here she's the one who is killed-off.
** The same BadFuture Flash storyline also features ComicBook/{{Vibe}} losing both of his hands, and then the use of his powers since he can't channel them through his ArtificialLimbs. No such storyline happens to him in the comics.
** Savitar is ultimately revealed to have suffered an EyeScream, as shown by his right eye being discolored gray and surrounded by burnt skin. The comics Savitar never had such an injury, and neither did [[spoiler:Future Flash]], Savitar's true self.
* ''Series/{{Spartacus|BloodAndSand}}'':
** Oenomaus loses his left eye near the end of Season 2. No historical records prove that this also happened to his RealLife counterpart.
** Agron, who is a DecompositeCharacter of the historical Castus, loses the ability to clinch his hands near the end of the FinaleSeason due to [[ImpaledPalm being crucified]]. Like Oenomaus above, no historical records prove that this happened to the historical Castus.
* ''Series/ThePunisher2017'': Curtis Hoyle was an able bodied man in the comics. In the show, however, he's lost his left leg below the knee from an IED and wears a prosthetic. It doesn't really do much to affect Curtis's contributions.
* In the ''Series/ChildhoodsEnd'' miniseries Milo Rodericks is in a wheelchair when introduced, though the Overlords cure that easily enough, his book equivalent [[AdaptationNameChange Jan]] never was paralyzed.
* Goushi, the Black Ranger from ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'', has a complete set of fingers. While not focused on, Walter Emanuel Jones, who played Goushi's counterpart in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', was missing his left middle finger.
** Two surviving (as of this edit) characters from [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead the source material]], [[spoiler:Sophia Peletier]] and [[spoiler: Carl Grimes]], [[DeathByAdaptation both die]] in the show by [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie becoming walkers]].
** In the source material, Hershel dies with his entire body intact. In the show, he loses his right leg in the Season 3 premiere before getting beheaded in the following season. Interestingly, both mutilations actually belonged to two different characters in the comics. The left leg amputation actually belonged to Dale (see above), while the beheading belonged to Tyreese.
** In the comics, Bob is alive and well. In the show, his left leg was chopped-off by cannibals and dies a few hours later. Much like Hershel, this arc originally belonged to Dale in the comics.
** As mentioned above, Tyreese dies in the comics by getting beheaded. While the mutilation is less severe in the show ([[AnArmAndALeg he got his arm chopped-off instead]]), it was done so because he [[ZombieInfectee got bitten]]. However, said infection, in addition to the pain that was heightened by the LifeOrLimbDecision, directly led to his death.
** The show's version of Ron goes through a severe case of SanitySlippage after Rick kills his AssholeVictim of a father. In the comics, Ron is still a LoveMartyr for his father, but more-or-less remains a sane kid till his death.
** In the comics, Denise dies because she refuses to have her infected arm chopped-off. In the show, she dies due to a [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice severe]] MoeGreeneSpecial.
** Denise's aforementioned death in the show actually belonged to Abraham in the source material. So how did Abraham die on the show? By getting his head [[CruelAndUnusualDeath repeatedly whacked by a barbwire-laced baseball bat until it's nothing more than a pile of mush]].
* ''Series/{{TheGifted|2017}}'': ComicBook/{{Polaris}} is depicted as suffering from bipolar disorder. While her comic book counterpart has suffered some sort of mental disorder, it hasn't been actually specified which one.
* ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'':
** In contrast to many ComicBook/GreenArrow stories and adaptations, Oliver Queen's PTSD from his time away from home is heavily emphasized.
** ComicBook/{{Deadshot}}'s right eye is badly damaged (if not completely blind) in this version and his advanced EyepatchOfPower essentially serves as his [[ArtificialLimbs artificial eye]]. In the comics and most media, his right eye is just fine and the advanced eyepatch merely serves as a gadget for his [[ProfessionalKiller job]].
** In this version, [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Slade Wilson]] kills his EvilFormerFriend Billy Wintergreen by [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice a brutal]] MoeGreeneSpecial. Wintergreen never lost any eye in the comics.
** Slade also chops-off Anthony Ivo's right hand. Ivo was never mutilated in the comics.
** Quentin Larry Lance suffers from a weakened heart after the battle with Deathstroke and his minions. He has no such illness in the comics (nor did he fight against Deathstroke).
** Jefferson Jackson suffers a CareerEndingInjury thanks to performing a HeroicSacrifice. He remains a healthy high school athlete in the comics.
** Felicity Smoak requires glasses and becomes paraplegic later in the story and is only able to walk again thanks to a chip attached to her spine. She wasn't injured that way (if, at all) in the comics, nor did she have poor eyesight.
** Oliver chops-off Malcolm Merlyn's right hand during their TrialByCombat. In the comics and most media, Merlyn's limbs are all intact. This is mitigated with Merlyn getting an ArtificialLimb shortly after.
** While Eliza Harmon/Trajectory is reliant on a speed drug in the comics, a side-effect of her gaining SplitPersonality is added in this version.
** Subverted by Leonard Snart. Towards the end of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' Season 1, he freezes his handcuffed right hand and shatters it in order to go after the rogue Mick Rory. However, his team's futuristic CoolAirship has advanced regenerative medical facilities that is eventually used to restore his hand.

Added DiffLines:
In adaptations sometimes characters are given disabilities, both physically and mental, that were not in the original work.
The reason for this differs from work to work. One reason could be because the adaptation's writers don't believe the characters should be so unscathed from their adventures. Another reason could be in order to provoke more drama. In the case of mental illness, this often (but not always) relates to an AdaptationalAngstUpgrade.
The inversion would be AbledInTheAdaptation.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* The first ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' anime added a few notable ones that weren't present in the [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist source material]]
** In the manga, Paninya lost her legs as a child and had them replaced with automail prosthetics. In the anime, one of her arms was also replaced with a prosthetic in addition to her legs.
** The anime has Rose Thomas, as a result of being an AscendedExtra, given a storyline where she suffers from severe depression and anxiety.
** Scar loses both of his arms before performing a HeroicSacrifice. In the source material, [[DeathByAdaptation he survives the series]] with his body intact.
** Roy Mustang loses [[MoeGreeneSpecial his left eye]] in the anime's GrandFinale. In the manga he loses his sight for some time, but his eyes remain intact.
** Edward [[ZigZagged zig-zags]] this. In the anime's GrandFinale, he briefly regains his lost arm and leg before performing a HeroicSacrifice to bring Al back which results to Ed being sent to an AlternateUniverse where he once again lost his restored limbs. The source material's GrandFinale has Ed at least getting his arm restored.
* Kushana in the original manga of ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' was able-bodied, while in the film she lost both her legs and left arm in an Ohmu attack when she was young.
* The non-canon ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' DistantFinale OVA titled ''Reflections'' gives Kenshin a contagious SoapOperaDisease that ultimately [[TheHeroDies kills him]] and [[TogetherInDeath his wife Kaoru]]. In the canonical manga, they lived HappilyEverAfter, in good health and all.
* In the original manga and OVA versions of ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty'', Tsutomu didn't need glasses, even before merging with Birdy. In the remake manga and ''Decode'', he's shown to wear glasses when not merged with Birdy.
* In the ''Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics'' episode "The Coat of Many Colors", Aleia is deeply traumatized over her [[ParentalIncest father trying to marry her]]. In the original ''Allerleirauh'' (which is a variant on ''Literature/{{Donkeyskin}}'') she isn't as phased.
* The ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' manga sees [[spoiler:Roberta coming out of "El Baile De La Muerte" physically intact.]] The anime sees [[spoiler:the climax of its adaptation, "Roberta's Blood Trail", result in Roberta losing her right eye, the index and middle fingers of her right hand, her right leg, and left arm.]]
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' Lillie has had a traumatic childhood with her emotionally abusive mother [[spoiler:Lusamine]] but, aside from some anxiety, she is relatively well-adjusted. ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has Lillie going into a HeroicBSOD at the thought of her mother and being [[TraumaButton triggered]] when Sun calls her pretty like a "doll".
* In ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' Lillie fears seeing Pokemon be hurt and dislikes battling. In the anime, Lillie has a phobia of Pokemon themselves. However her reason why is much different from in the games.

* DependingOnTheWriter, ComicBook/BlackCanary's [[MakeMeWannaShout Canary Cry]] actually takes a toll on her body, and is oftentimes treated as a DangerousForbiddenTechnique.
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Instead of a mere damaged heart (a big issue back in the day, but easy to cure nowadays), Tony Stark's days are numbered by a brain cancer tumor.

* In the ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/CafeLiegeois'', Elsa was born blind. However, she lacks the depression and anxiety of canon!Elsa.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** Most humanized fan-art portrays Jasper as having Vitiligo, though least a few gave it to Garnet instead.
** In the fan series ''FanFic/{{Connieswap}}'', Steven needs hearing aids.
* The plot of ''Fanfic/WaitingIsWorthIt'' is about Izuku manifesting a quirk after [[spoiler:becoming crippled and ending up in a wheelchair]]. It is also mentioned that Shota Aizawa was partially blind in his youth while Hizashi Yamada had hearing difficulties. Disabilities due to one's own quirk seem to be more common that one thinks, with [=UA=] having a program to helping their students with these problems.
* Marinette in ''Fanfic/NymphAndTheCorruptedMiraculous'' ends up permanently in a wheelchair after pushing Chloe out of the way of a speeding truck, taking the blow in the process.
* Anabel in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' [[CuteMute is unable to talk]], due to losing her voice after her parents died in a car accident. Somewhat subverted by the fact that she has developed {{telepathy}} to communicate with people.
* Junpei in ''Roleplay/{{Airlocked}}'' loses an arm during the second round and has it replaced with a robotic one. (An OriginalCharacter also loses an eye and later becomes a {{Cyborg}}.) As well, ''all'' the characters develop moderate to severe PTSD over their experience in the DeadlyGame.
* In canon, Izuku Midoriya is perfectly healthy, just Quirkless. In ''FanFic/IfIOnlyHadAHeart'', Izuku Midoriya is missing an eye and an arm on top of suffering from a damaged spine after a villain attack wrecked a shop he was visiting. Luckily for him, he also got a heaping dose of AdaptationalIntelligence, using his knack for inventing to help remove his disabilities over time through mechanical implants of his own design, though they don't always work quite as anticipated.
* After [[spoiler:being saved from her kidnappers]] after the story in ''Splatoon 2'', Callie suffers no apparent issue and is back to her normal GenkiGirl self. In the fanfic ''Fanfic/HerFracturedSpirit'' she's clearly traumatized (even if she tries to [[StepfordSmiler play it off]]) and has PTSD.
* In the ''Lucky Star'' comic ''Webcomic/LonelyKagamin'', Konata inherited her mother's mysterious illness and she is also depressed.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12318310/1/My-Sister-Leni My Sister Leni]]'' portrays Leni as being on the autistic spectrum rather then merely being just a DumbBlonde as in canon. [[spoiler:Lisa]] is also later revealed to be autistic as well.

* In ''Film/IronMan3'', Tony suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the events of the ''Avengers''' film. Tony doesn't suffer PTSD in the comics. They allude in the first two films without mentioning it to the disability Tony has in the comics: he's an alcoholic. (Specifically, in ''Iron Man 2'' he becomes alcoholic because of stress from the fact that he's dying. Both problems are fixed by the climax.)
* In ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', Billy is autistic, something that was not in [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers the original series]].
* ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'':
** ComicBook/LexLuthor clearly suffers [[AmbiguousDisorder from a form]] of mental disorder in addition to being a sociopath which is traditionally what he is in the comics and most media.
** In ''Film/SuicideSquad'' it's implied that ComicBook/HarleyQuinn hears voices in her head. This isn't a characteristic in her comic portrayal.
* The ''Film/{{Batman}}'' film series:
** While not focused on, Pat Hingle, who played Commissioner Gordon, was missing his left little finger due to an accident he had in 1959.
** ''Film/BatmanReturns'':
*** The Penguin has severe syndactyly. He has no such condition in the comics and most media, where he is merely a textbook FatBastard.
*** ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} develops [[SplitPersonality dissociative identity disorder]] in her OriginStory and as a result becomes a PsychopathicWomanchild. While prone to crazy shenanigans in the comics and most media, Catwoman is more-or-less mentally stable.

** In the games, Guo Huai is portrayed as sickly man who keeps on coughing. According to WordOfGod, he's very workaholic when fighting loyally for Wei that it exhausts his body. Historically, he was only sick in two major events which are the campaign in Mt. Dingjun and Cao Pi's coronation.
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'':
** The Penguin during the events of ''City'' and ''Knight'' features a vent in his neck and a beer bottle jammed into his left eye in place of his traditional monocle.
** The Calendar Man is an EvilCripple, his right leg being shorter than his left and wearing a brace and elevated shoe to compensate.

** ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades'':
*** Most versions of ''Franchise/GIJoe''[='=]s General Hawk has the use of both eyes. In ''Renegades'', [[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames General Abernathy]] is shown wearing an eyepatch over his right eye, suggesting at the least that he's lost the vision in it.
*** As part of [[NonUniformUniform the rather lax dress code]] of [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero the original team]], Airtight wore a hazmat suit to protect himself. In ''Renegades'', he's infected with an infectous disease by Cobra and wear the suit to protect ''others'' from his condition.
** In ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeExtreme'', Lt. Stone had both arms. In ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeSigma6'', his left arm, lost in battle with Cobra, was replaced with a cybernetic one.
* In ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' comics, both General Zod and Jax-Ur have the use of both eyes. When both were [[CompositeCharacter fused]] into the Jax-Ur of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', his design included an eyepatch over his right eye.
