What The Avengers: Infinity War Cast Look Like In The Comics

In the Comics:

Virginia "Pepper" Potts was a long time personal assistant to Tony Stark, after finding an accounting error that saved his company.

Though not too involved in the original Infinity Gauntlet story, over the years, she's played as one of Iron Man's most reliable supporting characters, at one time or another romantically involved with Tony Stark, and marrying Happy Hogan for a stint in the comics.

During a more recent run, she was transformed into the superhero Rescue, with her own high-tech suit given to her by Tony to help save others.

In the Film:

Portrayed by Gwyneth Paltrow and largely resembling her comics counterpart, Pepper is a long-time romantic lead and reliable support to Tony Stark as Iron Man in all three films, running his company and helping him through his problems as a superhero, even saving his life in Iron Man 3.

Though she seemed to drop off the map for a few films, appearing briefly in Spider-Man: Homecoming to signal her return and the rekindling of her relationship with Tony, she and Tony are back together and engaged in Infinity War. Unlike in the comics, she doesn't get a suit of her own, seemingly still averse to Tony's.
