* In the ''[[The Mighty Thor]] comics'', Loki is generally depicted as an evil god (though some individual writers have made him more of an [[Anti-Villain]]), but in the original Norse mythology he's a much more ambiguous figure, usually taking the role of [[The Trickster]]. |

* Played with in the case of the Greek gods and goddesses in ''[[Wonder Woman]]''. A number of them started out as [[Lighter and Softer]] than they were in [[Greek Mythology]]. However, Ares, the God of War, is portrayed as so dangerous and [[Too Powerful to Live]] that Wonder Woman has to actually ''kill'' him in at least one adaptation. Ares in the Greek myths, although [[The Berserker]] and ironically a bit of a [[Dirty Coward]], [[Hidden Heart of Gold|looked after his kids]] and was worshipped like the other gods. However, the more recent Wonder Woman stories have taken to portraying the pantheon as somewhere closer to what they were like in mythology. |

* The New52 version of Silver Banshee is an inversion. Pre- [[Re Boot]] she was an out and out villainess but the new version has been introduced as a very sympathetic character who seems set to be an outright heroine or at worst a [[Tragic Villain]]. Being [[Supergirl]]'s only friend and having a supervillain father complicate things. |
