What are your favorite Comic Book Copycats?

And they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Dr Fate is drastically underrated. Dude is a walking power house in terms of his magical powers.

DC does not get enough credit for their creativity when it comes to making these characters.

The creators of Swamp Thing and Man Thing were ACTUALLY living together when they created the characters.

So what you're pretty much saying is DC copied Namor with Aquaman, then Marvel pretty much stole DC's whole roster 🤣

I wish people really understood how powerful Doctor Fate is

Criminally underrated

When you look at their origins, Man-Bat and the Lizard are very similar.

Both Kirk Langstrom and Curt Conners were scientists that created serums made with animal DNA. Both took their serums to try to deal with their respective disabilities (Kirk going deaf, while Curt missing his arm), but both ended up turning into humanoid forms of the animals they got the DNA from.

If you’re wondering, the Lizard came first as he first appeared in 1963, while Man-Bat first appeared 1970.

Initially, the Black Cat had no superhuman abilities. Later, a test induced by the Kingpin gave her the psionic ability to affect probability fields; essentially, she could produce "bad luck" for her enemies.

Not exactly a copy, but I’ve always thought of Ironman as Batman copy: both normal humans, both super intelligent, both extremely rich, both like to play/fight with their toys, both playboys and both a quintessential member of their respective comic super team.

So Marvel only had 4 original characters out of the 16 in the video (Namor, Black Panther, Man Thing, Galactus)

The funniest copy to me is how Captain America was written a year after this dude called “The Shield,” who was an America-themed superhero shaped like a shield. Not using, shaped like a shield.

Surprised ant man and Atom wasn’t on the list

Black Cat does have superhuman abilities. For example she has a "reverse Domino" power which basically gives bad luck to people around her.

Vincent Price was the influence for the look of Dr. Strange.

Green lantern and nova? Not same powers but same space cop identity

You put a picture of plastic man.
When comparing elongated man and Reed Richards.

Aquaman wasn't from Atlantis for 20 years after his debut while Namor was originally Atlantean.

Dc and marvel have both copied off of each other but marvel has done it more overall

11:53 that is not the Elongated Man.
