Wolverine, the best at what he does (which isn't very nice), is surprisingly short. Hugh Jackman, at 6'3", towers over the comic book version who stands at 5'3". But don't underestimate his size, he's called Wolverine for a reason - small, yet deadly.

Star-Lord's comic backstory differs from the movies. No cancer tragedy for his mom, killed by aliens instead. His father is not Ego but J'son, a pirate. In comics, no Yondu abduction. Adult NASA trainee who stole a Kree ship. Still, that's our Peter Quill!

X-Men: The Last Stand erred with Juggernaut. Not a mutant, his true origin is the Gem of Cyttorak granting unstoppable power. Also, he's Charles Xavier's abusive step-brother, a crucial backstory overlooked. Deadpool 2 acknowledged their connection.

MCU's Drax differs greatly from comics. In films, he seeks revenge for family's murder by Thanos. But comics reveal a saxophone-playing Earthling named Arthur Douglas, resurrected as powerful Drax. Comic Drax is even stronger, a match for Thanos alone.
