We all grew up watching some really epic movies with unforgettable super heroes, anti-heroes and villains. As technology continues to evolve, a lot of these old movies, many of them featuring Marvel comic characters have been reinvented and repackaged. What I find interesting is the very vast difference between the characters of old and their modern versions.

Take the "Amazing" Spiderman for example. I screamed when I saw the two versions

I mean, what tha?!? The 1977 Spiderman looks like a nightmare creature about to pounce on one hapless victim of satanic oppression. If I see him in my dreams, I will rush to MFM for deliverance. Lmao!!

From Captain America, Hulk, Dr Strange, Thor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wolverine to Iron Man and so many more, see them below

I pick 2016! He brought sexiness to the character.

Chris Hemsworth killed it!!

Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (i.e David Banner and the Incredible Hulk).

I think the 2008 Joker is far creepier. This 1966 looks exactly like what he is: a cheerful clown

Scratches head... ... Thank goodness for Green screen and CGI

Lol. No contest. I wonder, didn't these old characters ever feel awkward dressed in these costumes?

I don't think I'm particularly impressed with both versions. The 1994 version are brighter and more cheerful looking, though. Like characters from Baywatch...

Is it me or does the 1990 Flash look a trifle 'odd'?

The difference is their ages. Hugh Jackman had no packs in 2000, but fast forward 13 years on... packs overload!!! I see they also got rid of the chest hair. Lol

I loved Robocop then, and I love the 2014 version even more.

You can't beat Samuel L. Jackson. His swag as Nick Fury is unbeatable.

I had the biggest woman crush on the 1975 Wonder Woman. I always looked forward to the show on LTV 8. She was sexy, beautiful and strong!! For me the old version is the very best.

Swedish actor Dolf Lundgren (Universal Soldier) made a mess of the character. The movie was a hot mess and box office bomb. On the bright side though, Dolf was super hot and darkly mysterious in the bloody movie.

This can't be Iron Man... I mean the 1977 character looks like 'Plankton' in SpongeBob SquarePants.

Definitely no contest. Lol

Hulk...SMASH!!!! I really don't like both versions. 1978 Hulk looks constipated while his 2012 counterpart has too much CGI going on.

O yeah. The 1977 version looks like a mad man covered in green paint, while the newer one is...I don't even know what that is

1978 Dr Strange looks like a love-vendor with all that tacky blings. When I saw the character, Charmillionaire's "Riding Dirty' began playing in my head. Lol

I don't even know where to start

naptu2:
Lynda Carter is Wonder Woman (with her R107 Mercedes Benz).

AjaanaOka:
I'd go with the 1978 Hulk. That CGI thing PUTS me off every time.

Invisible Man.
