Movie/TV/Video Game Characters Adapted to the Comics
Characters created for other medias that then got adapted into the comics.
This doesn’t count comic adaptations or continuations of of other media (for example, the Supaidāman and Leopardon that appear in the comics is the same guy as in the show)
Some (Like Whiplash or Ghost) are amalgamations and some (like Yondu and Valkyrie) are adaptations of existing comic characters but were later made their own, separate thing so I'm counting them here
Who are your favorites? Who were done well and who were done poorly? Who should be adapted in next?
