when certain adaptations transform super villains or other extraordinary characters into characters that could have come out with the world of a police procedurals or genetic action movie such as regular criminals, mobsters, vague ideological terrorists and serial killers, It happened in the early seasons of Gotham, Arrow and Agents of SHIELD
in Gotham there was a character called Balloon Man, whose comic counterpart is a metahuman with balloon powers but in the show was portrayed as a terrorist who targeted corrupt politicians by strapping them to weather balloons, the Electrocutioner who had electirc was just a sadistic doctor who just electroshocked people and the supervillain dollmaker who had the power to control dolls is a child trafficking organ harvester who also performs surgical experiments on them
There are other examples, but I've made my point. On some level I understand where it's coming from. You don't trust audiences to take outlandish comic book stuff seriously, so you try to make it more "grounded" but the end result is just a character that could have come out of any other police procedural or action movie, just with a weird nickname
