Offbeat superhero movies have successfully existed right alongside the mainstream stuff from Marvel and DC. A few even existed before the MCU and DCEU began. These are the quirky, unusual films that gently spoof the whole notion of superheroes or have a non-traditional take on it. What makes them stand out is that they can be appreciated by superhero fans, yet also by people who wouldn't normally care about the genre.The following behind-the-scenes stories offer a glimpse into how these movies were made, and some of the unusual struggles involved in getting them produced. They include director/studio fights, dangerous stunts, and happy accidents that produced magical moments. Every tale will help you look at these nostalgic films in a new light.&nbsp;Vote up the stories you think are the most “super.”&nbsp;

The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcu-movies/ranker-film">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a> arrived in 2008 with a bang, and it's since gone on to become the highest-grossing film franchise in history. As a result, the MCU has acquired a significant number of fans. The fandom is one of the most vocal in all of pop culture, and when fans speak their minds, they tend to lay out their opinions for everyone to see.We asked the internet, “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.facebook.com/rankertotalnerd/posts/pfbid02kym8DEBeeM54CQEd2PD8cRuWgwjq6fTcX3btsMZSZvyhvS9bMxjL4CD4hJQzPVHel">What's your unpopular MCU opinion?</a>” The fans did not disappoint.

Good characters turning bad is nothing new in comic books - or really any form of dramatic fiction - but it takes an especially cruel twist to turn a best friend into an archnemesis. And yet, that seems to keep happening to those crime-fighting caped crusaders who patrol the pages of Marvel and DC Comics.&nbsp;

Nothing hurts more than a former BFF becoming a supervillain, but nothing adds more pathos to a superhero battle&nbsp;either, and so it&rsquo;s come to pass plenty of times. In fact, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-marvel-villains" target="_blank">some of the most evil villains in comic books</a> used to pal around with some of the most prominent heroes. Occasionally, these bad breakers can be redeemed and brought back to the forces of good - but usually, they find it&rsquo;s more fun to stay on the dark side.

Superheroes Whose Best Friend Turned Into Their Arch-Enemy

Sometimes, it&#39;s unavoidable - superheroes need to take lives. Even the best and brightest of the spandex crowd, like Superman and Spider-Man, have had to enact lethal justice on a handful of occasions, an act that always carries with it an appropriate amount of angst. And that sense of guilt and grief is only intensified when the person at the other end&nbsp;is a family member - something that happens with surprising frequency in the comic book world.

The <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/shocking-superheroes-friends/stephanroget" target="_blank">list of superheroes who have killed</a> their parents, their children, their siblings, or their spouses is so long that, were it to belong to any real-world profession, it would be cause for serious alarm and investigation. Instead, it&#39;s a tried-and-true method of upping the stakes for a comic book character - and it seems like almost every caped crusader&nbsp;has found the need to cross this particular line&nbsp;at least once.

The only true constant in life is change. The same applies to comic book characters, as many have changed significantly since their first appearances. Of course, it's unreasonable to expect a superhero or villain to stay the same as they were when they were created decades ago - although, comic books don't believe in&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/de-aged-comic-book-characters/stephanroget">the concept of aging</a>, so there's that to consider, too…However, some big-name comic book characters are drastically different now from the time of their debuts. From radically altered appearances to a complete shift in personality and morals, let's take a look at the characters that are the very definition of an extreme makeover.

Superhero films take many liberties. While they often have decades of storylines from comic books to pull from, there's a lot that's left on the cutting room floor, including&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dc-characters-missing-from-the-dceu-movies/williamsbrianjake">pivotal characters</a>. Much like&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/major-mcu-comic-story-changes/sergio-pereira">the MCU</a>, DC movies borrow what they need from the source material, then move in their own unique direction.This isn't to say it's a bad or good thing, though, especially since it's tough to create beat-by-beat adaptations of comic book storylines. In some cases, the changes make a lot of sense and serve the story that's being told, while in other instances, sticking closer to the comics might have produced an altogether different film. Nonetheless, let's take a closer look at the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dc-movies/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC superhero movies</a> that deviate the most from the comics that inspired them.
