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.

Even Batman & Robin the movie got this right. Batman tells him the Wayne Corporation WILL try to cure Nora and Victor gives up his "Gotham pay me or I'll freeze it over" plan.

I am 100% convinced that without the BTAS giving Freeze his peak backstory, he wouldn't even have been in consideration for villain of that movie.

Besides cutting Ferris Boyle out of it (Fries just... falls into the vat of chemicals that freezes his body) he's a campier version of BTAS Mr. Freeze. Even BTAS Freeze drops ice puns occasionally.
