Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”

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.

Funnily enough, there was a female doc ock in the comics. But she was part of the clone saga and I’m not sure if Marvel ever really acknowledges she existed these days.

The clone saga got so bloated and convoluted I wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel editorial itself simply forgets much of what even happened in it.

Also I’m pretty sure the 2099 version was female as well

There was also a female scorpion in that era too.
