What is The Best Comic Book Movie Character Adaptation

[DrNewGod]

Title says it all, but it can mean two things: "most faithful," or "best interpretation."

Two rules here:

• You can suggest multiples, but just spitting a list is Lame. Offer a reason.
• We're talking Characters here, not Films. So This Guy In S*** Film over That Guy in Shoulda-Got-A-Palme D'Or is totally legit

So. Your call: what's The Best?

[DebkoX]

Steve Rogers has been amazing, and Thor has had a fantastic arc.

Nope. More. Why?

[DebkoX]

Nope. More. Why?

Watching Chris Evans as Captain feels like the comic version and he has interesting stories.

[Divine Spark]

They are completely ripped from the comic pages.

1) The characters from 300 and Watchmen.
2) Deadpool.
3) X-23.

Still tepid. Think deep and be explicit.

Thin, but as there's rationale, okay.

"most faithful," and "best interpretation." are different things. Also most of the comic character's image is keep changing over time.

Mine:

Christopher Reeve's Superman
Helen Slater's Supergirl
Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman
Charles Xavier
JJJ from the old Spider Man series

I like your list. Still, not Who, Why?

Charles Xavier and JJJ fit the comic 100%.

Reeve showed the perfect image of Superman both on and off the screen.

Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman had the perfect image.

I'm not a big fan of Supergirl, but Helen Slater's Supergirl is really beautiful and probably inspired this not level A character to show up in screen later.

[Divine Spark]

Charles Xavier

Pre-21 century Xavier, sure.

[Slowpokeking]

I think for B level characters, making them popular or mainstream is as great as making "the most faithful/awesome portrayal of the comic character".

[AJBopp]

Raimi Spider-Man, hands down. Had the signature moves, the signature fighting style, the spot on personality, and the classic costume look. It was clearly a labor of love from a true fan of the hero.

(Raimi Peter Parker, not so much)

Yes! Though I thought Tobey as Parker was fantastic. I watched Spider-Man 2 today and it still ranks as my favorite comic book movie.

SUPERMAN in MAN OF STEEL and i'm not gonna explain why sorry
