9 MCU Characters Most Unlike The Comics

1. Peggy Carter

Peggy Carter has become a breakout character in the MCU. Thanks to the strong portrayal by Hayley Atwell in Captain America: The First Avenger she isnow the lead in the second MCU television series Agent Carter, set in the aftermath of World War II. In the MCU, Atwell is a tough-as-nails, resourceful British agent who was involved in the Captain America project and becomes the love interest of Steve Rogers before he is frozen in suspended animation. In the comics, Carter is a blonde American born in Virginia and didn't meet Captain America until she ran off to France to join the French Resistance during World War II. The character wasn't even created until 1966, which means the handful of her adventures with Captain America in the war were all flashbacks. Instead of being a strong-willed agent, her character was portrayed as losing her mind after Rogers' disappearance. None of her post-war adventures on television happened in the comics. While Carter later joined S.H.I.E.L.D. in the comics and fought alongside the revived Captain America, Marvel's sliding comics timeline (where Captain America wasn€™t revived until the 21st century now instead of the 1960s) has rendered most of her stories with Captain America in the 1960s and 1970s impossible. In fact, it's Carter's niece Sharon Carter who became Captain America's primary modern day love interest in the comics. While Shannon Carter exists in the MCU, she has had much less development so far compared to her older, fan-favourite relative.
