Has Non-Comic Media efected Marvel comics at all?

[Artistsean]

I started a similar thread in DC forum, but I was wondering the same thing for Marvel,

Has the outside media, TV, radio, cartoons, movies, other books, toys, effected any characters in Marvel at all?

for example, in DC the radio show is credited for many things cannon to Superman's story like Kryptonite, him flying, Jimmy, and other things.
The superman cartoon is credited for the phrase: "fater than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive..."
Batman cartoons gave Batman comics Harley Quinn.

Is there anything at all like this in Marvel comics?
Has a movie changed a character, storyline, comic, at Marvel at all?

I can't really think of any, but maybe it has happened.

Yeah, Soap Operas made everyone start sleeping around.

Something like Bugs coincendentally sporting a black suit just before a movie comes out with him wearing a black suit?

The X-Men black leather for the Morrison years (as well as a more sci-fi approach and no Wolverine mask).

At least every movie has effected Marvel to some degree, even if it's focusing on the particular character or group a bit more than usual. Each recent Marvel movie has warranted an Essential book, as recently we got a new volume in the Essential Spidey and F4 series. Before that, Marvel picked up pushing Ghost Rider. They knew movie was in production, and we've already had two Essential trades, a miniseries which led into a new regular series, and another miniseries currently on sale. (Even the dreadful Swamp Thing got a 3-issue prequel to that movie.)

Sadly, the X-Men movie led to the entire X-Men franchise being redone, of which it still hasn't fully recovered. (And, while we had a lot of Wolverine before, the movies have made him main mutant in the group, warranting a spin-off of his own.)

I do find Marvel's bringing back the black costume as one of their crappiest ideas. It's really lent nothing to the story, as the story really wouldn't change regardless of which costume Peter wore.

I wouldn't say that the X-Men movie led to the comics being redone. They only really carried over the leather costumes. It was Morrison and Casey that really redefined the X-Franchise for a new era. Of course, that's been shoved under the carpet since then.

I think the films have resulted in a powered-down Spider-Man. Seems like Spidey gets his ass kicked way too often. He ought to be the dominant player in the current New Avengers but more often he sounds like Robin from the 60s.

And Wolverine's gotten taller and younger nevermind his power levels going up and up in nearly all appearances.

Where has Wolverine been drawn younger and taller in the 616?

I remember when Wolive only had "Good" strength, not even Peak human.

I haven't noticed Wolverine getting taller, actually. I was expecting him to, but it seems most artists stick with the general rule that the top of his head is about level with most other heroes' shoulders.

That's because he's hunched over 95% of the time.

He had bad posture growing up.
