7. Blade
Years before X-Men and Spider-Man changed everything in the superhero genre, Blade had brought one of Marvels other heroes marginally successfully to the big screen. Well, when I say successfully, I'm referring entirely from the point of view of distributor New Line Cinema - the film made a good profit and the mixed reviews were juxtaposed with an audience hit. Those who wouldn't call it successful, however, were the original Blade fans. Along with the likes of Iron Man a relative unknown before the film adaptation, Blade was a human with immunity to vampires. Surviving on skill alone he became a revered vampire hunter. There's a greater backstory, but that element is pretty much all the movie kept. Making the traditionally outgoing character incredibly reserved and gifting him with a plethora of superhuman abilities (something admittedly introduced later in the comics when he was bitten by an artificial vampire), the film was mainly focused with bringing a nineties slant to the character. Blade as a film wasn't terrible - Wesley Snipes was pretty good casting for the character and most of the problems come from mainstream cinema in general during that period - but it was so unfaithful to what fans enjoyed that almost every plaudit it earned came from those new to the character.
