Just wondering. They use celebrity faces quite a lot in comics as models for characters. Tom Cruise was the model artists used for Tony stark for a few years for example

Samuel L Jackson was literally Ultimate Nick fury way back in the start of the ultimate universe.

Synergy often just means making characters look more similar visually to whoever is playing them currently. Or is famous as them. Christopher Reeve superman for example to this day has his face almost traced to still be superman

So my question is… why did no artists ever draw wolverines face to look more like Hugh Jackman?

He looks VERY different to Jackman in comics in all the appearances I’ve seen him in. Even though he made the character so much more popular

I’m not talking about making him taller, just seems bizarre they didn’t give him Jackmans facial features. He just looks like a rugged square jawed man usually instead

How do they get away with so clearly profiting off of the celeb's likeness? Aren't there laws about that?

The rumor/joke I heard for years is Sam Jackson let them based Ultimate Fury on him in exchange for being guaranteed the role in a movie

You only listed one example in which a character is drawn to look like their live-action counterpart.

Wolverine's comic book face is among the most characterful.

For me, it's the first issue of Punisher: Born where Frank is blatantly drawn as a young Marlon Brando for some reason.
Darrick Robertson tones it down after that issue, but it's still really jarring.

it's the opposite

millar based his fury on sam jackson, hoping he'd hear about it and want in

and that's eventually what did happen

he also wanted depp for stark but didn't win that kek

cruise for tony was off and on tied to the casting pre marvel studios in the 2000s
