One of the truisms of comic books and graphic novels is that nothing is immutable – both heroes and villains are rebooted,retconned, featured as radically (or subtly) different versions in alternate timelines, etc. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which so far includes the Captain America, Thor,Hulk, Iron Man, and Avengers films, is a good example. DC are doing the same with The FlashandGreen Arrow, and the latest cinematic incarnations of Batman and Superman are set to do battle with one another in a projectedsummer blockbuster movie next year.
And these new variants on old stories proliferate throughout the various versions of each character arc – variations on the same themes, but instantly recognizable to long-time fans and easily remembered by new ones. Tony Stark’s updated Iron Man origin story in the first Iron Man movie is one such example; the supervillain Mystique’s origin in the X-Men series of films (not part of theMCU) is another.
