Franchises with a similar history to Tmnt

What are some famous franchises you think have a similar history to that of tmnt? This can be anything from books, tv shows, movies etc.

One candidate I found surprisingly similar was the Jungle Book franchise (if you can call it that)

The Jungle Book, like tmnt, did not start with television but in book form. The original source material was darker, more complex and entirely different from the material to come later on in both franchises.

Then there was new one version which not only made the franchise popular to the general public, but also bore very loose resemblance to the original source material (the FW tmnt series and the 1967 Disney Animated Jungle Book musical). This version would go on to have an influence on all future iterations in one way or the other and many people would be aware of these versions while being completely unaware of the source material.

Now both franchises have a LOT of different versions, from films, to tv shows, to books and so on, but I'd like to hear what you think are some franchises that had a similar history to that of the turtles?
