Characters
(Fun tropes) It took a non mainline version to add this feature to the character.
Sephiroth's iconic one wing came from Kingdom Hearts. Not from the original FF7. Despite his theme being "one winged Angel", and while his Greater form has a sort of wing, og base Sephiroth never had an actual angel wing. Now Sephy is always seen with it.
Magneto's Helmet blocking telepathy. It came from the movies. Despite the fact that Magneto would know exactly how Xavier's abilities work and there being a precedent helmet that blocks telepathy (Juggernaut), the X-men movies were the first to add. Now it's pretty common thing for Magneto.
Only the American adaptations like the 90’s cartoons and Archie comics started off with this as a major trait, but the games only began slowly adopting it beginning in the 2000’s, with his canon game iteration now loving chili dogs as well.
Dr. Eggman's formal last name as Robotnik was formally added in Sonic Adventure 1. Before then, Sega of America called him Dr. Robotnik and Eggman was never used.
A huge amount of the Superman mythos came from the cartoons and radio show. Best two examples are Superman flying (the Fleischer cartoon) and Kryptonite (radio show)
Flight because it was easier to animated than super jumping, and kryptonite so theyd have an excuse for episodes of the radio show where the VA didnt have to be there
Primus, the creator-god of the Transformers and opposite of the dark god Unicron, originated from the Marvel UK comics but was soon incorporated into the US comics when UK writer Simon Furman was brought over to take over from Bob Budiansky. Eventually Primus became part of all Transformers mythos in some form or another.
Ah, Simon Furman and Bob Budiansky, the two names that spontaneous have the voice of a chipper Irish man playing in my head. Only beaten in volume by a third, other name.
Pit’s entire modern design, including the “bow splitting into two swords” was from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The fact that Sakurai also made the only Kid Icarus game to come out after Brawl certainly helped codify it.
King Dedede’s Jet Hammer is also from Brawl and didn’t appear in a Kirby game until Super Star Ultra.
Water(and a few others) were originally Fan contest winners that were only added to the Games way later on after being used in the Show's late season 2 Parter
I think they're kind of correct in that KH was the first time he had a separate wing in addition to his arms. In FF7 in believe the wing replaces his arm.
I mean he's still a One Winged Angel but KH did change the look.
The beta for Smash 64 originally used an OG character named the Dragon King who used Dragon Punches. Sakurai didn't expect to get to use Nintendo characters.
When it was approved, he reused the Dragon King into Samus and Captain Falcon - two characters with mostly realistic proportions. The Dragon Punch was converted to a Falcon Punch and the rest is history.
Originally, the Endless Waltz redesign of XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero lacked the original version's shield and Neo Bird Mode. These features were put back in with the manga Glory of the Losers, and were included in the Master Grade Ver. Ka and Master Grade SD kits.
The EW version of WZ was always very popular in circles I frequented (for understandable reason), but I preferred TV due to these things that were lost. Always happy to be reminded that they pandered specifically to me, eventually.
Off topic anytime I think of sephiroth I think about that robot chicken ff7 fast food restaurant sketch and sephiroth saying “I need you to work this Saturday” and cloud responding with “but I have lakers tickets” (iirc) and I laugh lol
That parts a myth, actually. The actor never had a vacation around the time they introduced Kryptonite and they were reusing a concept from an unpublished 1940s story "The K Metal from Krypton".
There are plenty of examples of this in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but what might be the biggest is the colors of the Turtles' bandanas. In the original Mirage comics, the Turtles all wore red bandanas, so the only way to tell them apart was by their weapons. When adapting the comic to an animated kids' cartoon, the Turtles were given unique bandana colors - Leo was given blue, Donnie was given purple, Mikey was given orange, and Raph got to keep red. This change has persisted across all versions of the TMNT since.
No what he means is when he is just in his regular form, in the original he only ever had the wing when he was in his final form anything after he always had a wing outside of his final form because of kingdom hearts’ version of his design
In the really early comics, he had his own version of telepathy. Around the 80s it switched to him just having extraordinary willpower which gave him some resistance. A lot of times in the comics, Charles was too far away to directly use his power on Magneto, he was mainly using it to allow the X-Men in the field to communicate directly with each other and coordinate their attacks.
Depended on the writer. I recall comics where strong magnetic fields by themselves were disruptive to psychic powers, sometimes it just affected Cerebro (which was Xavier's main way of communicating with the X-Men in the field).
And a lot of times, Xavier himself just refused to use his powers for more than communication. I remember reading Ultimate X-Men and a plot point was resolved by Charles straight up brainwashing a dude. Turned me off of the series.
No, in the comics his helmet literally blocks telepathy. I remember reading a marvel story guide in like 1999 where they talking about this, and then they even had a whole section about how he taught the juggernaut how to make the helmet, and he had not one but two god damn layers of anti-telepath armor on his stupid head.

The AllSpark wasn't even a concept in Transformers until the 2007 movie. Since then, it's become a staple in various Transformers media.
