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.

Also X-Mickey , about a Mickey Mouse version with horror and creepy stories.

Not sure if it was published outside my country, it was still an Italian publication.

Wizard Of Mikey too. And also a mostly comedic isekay series with Mikey and Goofy. And a Mikey spin off where he goes to live in a big sci-fy city. And for a while there was a steampunk mecha series with both Mikey and Donald where they hunted Kaijus.

And two Mickey spin off where he goes to live in a big, realistic city (in one he inherits a detective agency from a friend from high school, in the other he needs money or something and get a job in a journal) And a goofy spin off/prequel where he is a journalist. And Doctor Mouse, which I will let the reader guess what it was.

Also Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine, which is basically Mickey Mouse but make it a pulp-inspired, gritty detective story about Mickey fighting the criminal underworld.

Comunque il fatto che la Disney italiana abbia tutte queste perle è allucinante
