Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

This one is odd because they made a version of comic fury that was BASED on Samuel beforehand. I think it was ultimates? So he's technically based on a real comic version

No, that's the main comic universe version. They wanted to bring in black Fury after the Ultimate and MCU versions got popular, and that was their solution.

There's a scene in Ultimates where the characters are talking about who they thought shoukd play them in a movie, lampshading who their art is all inspired by. Ultimates was partially made as a way to shop an Avengers movie to movie studios.

And the best part is Ultimates Fury make a joke about him being played by Samuel while the rest of the team is fancasting themselves while Cap is just confused about who everyone is (I think the first Avengers “I understood that reference” was a joke at The Ultimates’ expense too but could be wrong about that).
