To Be Continuous With Blood Dripping From Letters Dc Legends of Tomorrow
There are many ways a TV show can interpret comics, andDC'sLegends of Tomorrow has had it easier than many other superhero shows. Since many of its characters aren't in th̩ comics at all or have different backstories, the show's creators had a lot of space and freedom to do whatever they wanted with them Рwithout angering the fans who love the comic book versions of the characters.
However, the show does contain some noticeable differences in comparison to comics. From made-up characters to different superhero teams, Legends of Tomorrow proves that a superhero show doesn't have to entirely follow the comics to be great.
10/10 Sara Lance's Existence
One of the major changes is Sara Lance's existence. In the comics, various characters have the nickname Black Canary but Sara isn't one of them; in fact, she doesn't even exist.
The Arrowverse created Sara and it was a move that worked out well. From her training with the League of Assassins to leading the Legends as their captain, Sara is one of the best female fighters in the Arrowverse and also a fan favorite.
9/10 Per Degaton Is A Child
In the comics, Per Degaton is a major DC villain and a real threat. He has the ability to travel through time and clashes with the Justice Society of America on more than one occasion. He's a capable fighter and besides traveling through time, he also has the power of precognition.
In the Arrowverse, though, Per Degaton is a little boy whom Vandal Savage is raising to become a dictator. Unlike the comics, his influence was greatly deduced.
8/10 Rip Hunter Doesn't Lead The Time Masters
Rip Hunter stands against his organization, the Time Masters, when it becomes clear they are unwilling to stop Vandal Savage. Driven by the death of his wife and son, Rip steals the Waverider and decides to get his revenge by forming the Legends.
The comics, on the other hand, see Rip not only be a member of the Time Masters but also the one who leads them!
7/10 Nate Gets His Powers Thanks To Ray
Nate Heywood and Ray Palmer are very close friends, the best friends in the show. Therefore, it's only appropriate that Nate gets his power to turn to steel thanks to Ray's gene-altering formula. That's not how it happened in the comics, though.
In the comic books, Nate is able to turn to steel after he fights the villainous Reichsmark and gets some of the villain's metallic blood into his mouth. Incorporating an entirely new villain might not have worked for the show so they went for a more civil explanation.
6/10 Waverider Is A Ship
The Legends wouldn't get far in their mission if they didn't have their time-ship Waverider. The futuristic ship, helmed by the AI Gideon, helps them travel through time whenever they want (unless someone breaks it).
But in the comics, Waverider is much different. For one, it's not a ship but a person with the civil name of Matthew Ryder. He travels back in time and merges with the timestream with gives him brand new powers. Matthew adopts a new nickname – Waverider – and starts traveling through time freely. That's one character trait he shares with the show's counterpart.
5/10 Chronos Is Mick Rory
One of the big twists of the first season of the show was that the villainous Chronos who worked for Time Masters and pursued the Legends was actually a future version of Mick Rory.
In the comics, Chronos's name is David Clinton, a villain who spends his time in prison studying time. When he gets out, he eventually goes on to build time-traveling technology, when he's not busy standing against the Atom. As seen, this Chronos is very different from the one the show introduced.
4/10 The Legion Of Doom Has Different Members
One of the major villains in the show is the Legion of Doom. This team is well known from the comics where they oppose big heroic groups such as the Justice League. However, the show presents the team in a different way.
In the comics, the leader of the Legion is none other than Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor. But in the Arrowverse, the time-traveling speedster Eobard Thawne leads the team instead and he works with Damien Darhk and Malcolm Merlyn.
3/10 Amaya Instead Of Mari
Amaya Jiwe played a major part in the show. With her remarkable powers as well as her relationship with Nate, she left her mark on the team. But if circumstances were different, Mari McCabe would have been one of the Legends.
In the comics, Mari is known as the heroic Vixen. Mari appeared on Arrow but because of scheduling conflicts, her actress couldn't join the Legends as Mari. Consequently, Amaya took her place, and the rest, as they say, is history.
2/10 Jax Has A Different Background
After Ronnie Raymond's passing, Jefferson Jackson, aka Jax, formed the superhero Firestorm with Martin Stein. But even though Jax does appear in the comics, he has a different role in them.
In the source material, Jax is not a superhero but Ronnie's friend and also his teammate in the school's football club. Jax does play football on the show but he and Ronnie were never best pals.
1/10 Much Simplified Vandal Savage
One of the greatest problems some fans have with the show is that it overly simplified the character of Vandal Savage. In the comics, Savage is not only a capable fighter but also a highly intelligent strategist who has been many of history's greatest villains, such as Jack the Ripper or Genghis Khan.
The show changed Savage's backstory and instead focused on his obsession with Kendra who loved Carter instead of him. This alteration didn't sit well with some fans who watched the show.
