10 Movie Characters Who Look Nothing Like Their Comic-Book Versions
7. Apocalypse - X-Men: Apocalypse
X-Men fans waited years to see Apocalypse do battle on the big-screen, but when it finally did happen, the character didn't look anything like the monstrous, muscular, Bane-like brute that's found on the page.
Instead, the movie version was the size of a regular human, and so lacked the imposing presence of his source material counterpart. The movie also changed the character's colour, opting for a bluey-purple hue instead of Apocalypse's traditionally greyish skin.
As a result, the Apocalypse of the movie was a fairly drab and uninteresting villain that could definitely destroy a building or two but never really posed much of a direct threat to the X-Men.
The character's comic-book design would've made him far more menacing; after all, a hulking, physically powerful force of nature feels much more threatening than an adult Smurf in a plastic-looking jumpsuit.
