Superhero cinema has become one of the most popular and successful genres out there, steadily growing since the 2008 release of Iron Man. However, the famous characters that have become so familiar to us through these live-action movie versions have been around for a hell of a lot longer and while Marvel has done a great job bringing them to the big screen, some adjustments were made to make the character costumes appear more ‘realistic.’
But what if they had stayed faithful to the original Marvel comics versions? What would the popular characters have looked like? The guys at Looper wanted to find out, and through the clever use of photoshop, they have done just that. While we think the Marvel characters from movies do look waaay better (it’s quite hard to take some of the superhero comics versions seriously, some do look a bit silly), it is cool to see a side-by-side comparison and it makes you really appreciate what a marvel-ous job Marvel did!
Scroll down below to see some of the far out, retro costumes your favorite Avengers characters SHOULD be wearing, and let us know what you think in the comments. Do you prefer the original style? Or the movie costume adaptations? Join the discussion!

Most look better in the movie version. Quicksilver is the only one I would say looked better in the comics (and that's because the movie version was particularly bad). And Spider-Man's emblem looks more like a tick than a spider in the movies, I wish they'd gone with the classic emblem.
im honestly glad they made their own scarlet witch costume. the comic version is certainly not realistic in a fight.

And comic version of Quicksilver seems like he is an Elsa from Frozen wannabe... Sorryyyyyy 😂😂😂
why did the first couple actually show really funny photoshop, but then they just gave up and showed the comic versions
I think because they already look pretty similar and don't need an adjustment. And Sarah, no one is complaining, they just wanted to have some fun showing the differences. Why do you have to be so negative?

To be fair...cap had that uniform in the first movie for a while... And even then... the costumes are pretty comic accurate...
I'm sorry but the comic version of Falcon is so Funny... Thank God that they didn't use the comic version of Falcon on Anthony. 😂😂
well actually in the comics right now he looks pretty close to mcu version

Ok, so half of these aren't "the magic of photoshop", but rather "we took a panel from the comic and stuck it next to the pic." Ok.
I’m not convinced. Can we see the rest of scarlet witches uniform? 😝
Yeah, Scarlet Witch's costume was never good. On the other hand, in the Deadpool movie, it looks like they've done Shatterstar's costume exACTly as it is in the comics, just because it looks so utterly dorky!
At least Marvel movies aren't as big on boobies everywhere. Seriously, are you going to flash a villain or use your super powers? Really?
they started off with pretty good things... then after the hulk they just used the comics...
This is about Marvel films (and their comic/original equivalents). X-Men is a Marvel comics franchise, but the films are Fox. Things might change in the near future, though. With Disney buying Fox, becoming the owner of both Fox and Marvel. But this article is a bit old, it has been on the internet for a few years now.
