This week: Gizmo!
Teen Titans was notorious for playing fast and loose with the designs of characters. So although Gizmo had already appeared in comics, beginning in The New Teen Titans #3 (November 1980)...
...when he appeared in the Teen Titans episode "Final Exam" (2003), it was in a greatly altered form.
Gizmo kept the same appearance in the comics until February 2004, when he appeared in Teen Titans #8:
When he next appeared in Outsiders #12-14 (May-July 2004), however, he had an appearance closer to his animated counterpart.
And then in DC Special: Cyborg #5 (September 2008), he suddenly looks A LOT like his animated counterpart.
In the next issue, we learn this is Gizmo II, the original Gizmo's son (October 2008).
Gizmo II only appeared in a couple issues and hasn't seemed to survive the New 52. Gizmo's new appearance did for a little while, but he has since changed it. never got the full beard back, though.
