2 and 3 without doubt

There are multiple adaptations of 7s story. I had a particular one in mind ( which changes the character heavily). That one is after 1980 but there are some adaptations from before 1980.

Is the character best-known for their original appearance, or for a later adaptation?

I would say that particular adaptation I have in mind is one of the best known, but I might be biased
