10 MCU Characters That Are Totally Different From The Comics

It goes without saying that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the most accomplished example of a comic book canon being translated to the big screen to date. Over the 16 films currently released by Marvel Studios, the MCU has brought vast reams of comic book characters to the movies, usually with a deep fidelity to the source material.

Comic Books: One of the original Guardians of the Galaxy, Yondu Udonta was a peaceful and deeply religious hunter who has a strong spiritual and mental connection with the wilderness of his homeworld. Basically, he’s like the Na’vi from Avatar – he’s even blue-skinned. Yondu is a primitive being and does not trust space-age technology. He’s also rarely seen without his trusty bow and arrow.

MCU: Yet again, James Gunn decided to start practically from scratch with one of his Guardians of the Galaxy characters. The movie Yondu was a morally-wayward criminal and leader of the Ravagers, with an uneasy, surrogate father/son relationship with Star-Lord. He possesses none of the comic version’s connection with nature and even captains his own spaceship. Furthermore, his bow and arrow has been replaced by a Yakka arrow – which is commanded by whistling.

A nod to his OG Guardians team was included in Vol. 2, though, and following the film’s release and massive success, the movie Yondu was introduced into the mainstream comics continuity.
