This is the second part of my Most loyal comic-book Heroes post.

Out of all these characters, who do you think has the most loyal adaptation? Which version do you think has strayed the least from it's original source?

The rules remain the same: I ask you to bear in mind their origin story, gadgets/weapons, costumes, personality and moral code before you decide.
If you don't mind and have the time to do it, please state who you voted and why.

In my opinion, I have to go with The Violator, from Spawn. Leguizamo's Clown looked exactly like he had to, and his interpretation nocked it out of the park if you ask me.

I chose Young Magneto because I found him so compelling and pretty well exactly why I like him in the comics as well. Both Jokers are great, with Ledger's being epic. I'd say Ledger's Joker and Hiddleston's Loki are BETTER than any version ever in comics.

So you felt they actually improved those characters in their respective films? That's quite interesting, I guess I feel the same way about Spider-Man 3's Sandman; he was my favorite character in that movie by far...

Definitely the Winter Soldier, his costume, mannerisms, even when he says "who the hell is Bucky" is straight from the comics.

From a character perspectives the Magnetos are mostly nailed it down, but he doesn't have Force Fields which is a notable exemption from his power.

Voted Red Skull.

Young and Old Magneto. I hate the X-movies with a passion, but one thing I can't deny about them is the perfect actor choices.

And Magneto is just really well shown throughout the movies, they got his vibe just right.
