Some of these don't really make much sense. Red Skull is a Nazi who was part of a super soldier experiment gone wrong. Black Mask is an American crime boss who wears a black skull mask. The only similarity they have is the whole skull head deal. That's it. Moon Knight and Batman. Moon Knight is a dude with multiple personalities and is the Avatar of an Egyptian God. Sometimes he's the Mercenary Marc Spectre. Other times he's the gentleman Steven Grant, and sometimes the sadistic cab driver Jack Lockley. Batman is a millionaire playboy who dresses up as a bat every night to beat the crap out of criminals because he saw his parents get killed right in front of him when he was 8. Black Widow and Black Canary. One's a Russian spy with no powers. The other is a meta human who can scream really loud. Not much in common.
Actually your half right about Black Widow, she is a Russian spy trained in the Red Room since she was a child and like Captain America she took the Super Soldier Serum but just in a lesser form of it. She was born in 1928 and took the serum in 1958 making her life span longer, she's also much stronger than the average person. This in no way however is a comparison to Black Canary.
Just because two characters look alike and have similarities doesn't mean they copy each other they are just coincidences due to the nature of superhero story making

Knew Thanos was a copy of Darkseid way back when he first showed up. More than a few comic fans thought so too. Between the two, Darkseid is my favorite because he isn’t insane, and has a good idea of what to do and how to do it. Just my meager observation…..
Runner and Godspeed is a huuuuge stretch. They're speedsters who both have gold in their color scheme. Except Runner has ONLY gold in his color scheme, whereas Godspeed's suit is mostly white. And they share exactly zero design similarities, their origins are nowhere close to the same, their motives and end goals are nothing alike. You'd be better off pairing Runner with The Flash, and even then their only similarities are that both of their designs kinda make nods to the god Hermes/Mercury (and not even the same nods; Flash has the winged boots/helm, with later versions having the wings eventually reshaped to lightning bolts and a mask instead of a Hermes/like cap, while Runner has a statue-like body and a loincloth).
What is interesting about this video is that a lot of times the "copycat" character tends to be the most recognizable or sucesfull one. It seems like the creators really improve on the flaws of the original idea
@@camdakill6007 Yeah, but it's a shame that aquaman is more popular, he even has a movie. But I prefer Namor and can't wait to see it in black panther wakanda forever
@Blaze i did learn the material, clearly unlike you. I started out with DC as a child, before realising that Marvel was just so much more powerful, and Doctor Strange managed to become black priest strange in the last days of magic, literally saving magic, the best thing dr fate could do was rescue spectre. Go read a comic my guy dr fate is limited and his magic follows rules, dr strange transcends those rules, allowing him to do and become many things such as completely immortal.
@Blaze order vs chaos as many times have proven they are both limited, dr fate saved spectre in an early comic, and yes that isn’t just any old feat, but saving all of magic, and commanding a race that beat the true darkhold scarlet witch is something far more impressive, especially since Wanda could easily wipe spectre and fate, but when she got ganged up against the black priests she wasn’t able to win. Also u bringing up artefacts that fate used which are nothing compared to things like the infinity gauntlet and the agamotto equipment. The thing is Dr fate hasn’t got as many amazing feats as dr strange, even if his helmet is thousands of years old, when you actually take a look at things like their powers, Dr Fate has mastered the mystic arts (apart from chaos magic but that’s bc he didn’t think it existed), whereas every time Fate tries to do something with his magic, it imbalances the universe with the whole order and chaos thing, which limits him
@Blaze it literally is a debate, just bc you seen a few "marvel fanboys" doesnt mean that they are right. As a kid I grew up with both, and the characters from the marvel universe are just much more powerful for 3 reasons. 1. the writers arent afraid to make their characters do crazy powerful things 2. the marvel and dc universes alr had crossovers and marvel just showed to be much more powerful 3. DC comics is just so limited and restrained, even down to the presence himself, being a judo-christian god, which gives him limits, compared to TOAA who is completely fictional
Their suit design, them being male or female, their powers all is considered before Marvel or DC create the copy character. It's not just a pure coincidence.
@@SignalFlowers some characters aren't even the same like moon knight and batman the story is way different and the powers aren't even look alike. Black widow and black canary aren't even the same black canary like a scream character while black widow isn't

Also anything i read on The Vision says hes based on the Timely Comic character of the same name and they were published by Marvel in 1940. And he looks like a cross between The Vision, Watcher and Martian Manhunter
I love how both creators of swamp thing and man thing were roommates and just decided to create the same character but with the specific formula of Marvel and Dc for each creation... lmao
@@leonardgould4760 so sorry. The point remains same. The creator stated that he took the inspiration from Darkseid and went as far as saying that he originally wanted to copy metron
I'd have said Silver Surfer was the Marvel version of Martian Manhunter, they're both super powerful aliens who originally started off as enemies to their respective teams but would eventually become heroes.
I seen a video here on CZcams a few years back(it’s probably still on here I bet🤔). But the video said that there were some writers, and artist that were working with DC were roommates with some Marvel writers and artists and that they would discuss their newest characters with each other and that’s how a lot of characters were so much alike. Well, I mean that explains the ones that were introduced at or around the same time. But the ones that came decades later are just blatant rip-offs! I mean they all are blatantly ripped off from other characters but some are more so than others! But as long as it’s not too dead on and they have a good story I’m ok with it and it doesn’t bother me so much.
Actually I disagree with Doom Patrol and X-Men. They were launched almost at the same time, and is not possible know who was the one with the original idea, because a lot of people that worked in marvel worked in DC at the same time
Maybe you are right. But If you looking of the characters name from the villans and the similarities of the two leaders how is on the wheelchair are exactly the same
I thought so too but if you look at the stories and taglines marvel clearly copied. doom patrol had the tag "the worlds strangest superheroes" and the xmen had "the strangest superheroes of all". then there's the obvious leader in the wheelchair. and the villains they come up against, doom patrol has the legion of evil and xmen have the legion of evil mutants. No hate, its just its more than just an idea that was copied from dc
And like you need some time like a few months to make a comic you can't create the same guys if you became with comic when the other didn't even drop ywt
I think it should have been like… Wanda vs Raven Vision vs Martian manhunter Their abilities seem more similar than the ones here. Anyway, I love them all.
I agree, especially with Vision and Martian Manhunter though one is not a robot they are similar in appearance most of the time, they also have similar powers, and they are both a part of their respective universe's premier superhero teams. On another note Wanda and Raven are much better camparison than Wanda and Zatanna especially when it comes to their power sets, I wouldn't of actually thought of that if it weren't for this comment so thanks. 🙂
Your image captioned as Commander Steel was actually of the Shield, of MLJ Comics, created in 1939, copied by Marvel in making Captain America (plus his association with S.H.I.E.L.D.). You should compare the Shield's sidekick and Bucky as well. Did Jack Kirby invent both Silver Surfer and Black Racer? Of course, Doll Man came before both the Atom and Antman.
Interesting comparisons. I think the "copycat" discussion is pulling teeth, but I like that there are origin times for characters that obviously are inspired by similar aesthetic. Gotta say would've compared Black Panther to Wildcat, Red Lion is the African version of Deathstroke. Although they look similar the characters are quite different.
The Captain Marvel of '67 was Mar-vell, a man, Sif, in no way shape or form is a counter to wonder Woman, the original Vision is older than you've listed..........................dude you're not very good at this. The falcon and Hawkman?

Zatanna and Scarlet Witch are so different, so no one copied. P.S it's not too easy to make a comics so they couldn't copy each other in span of just 5-6 months.
I gotta wonder what the criteria for "copycat" is here. Black Racer and Silver Surfer for example have very little in common aside from their name. Also, some of these characters weren't owned by DC when they were created, but were acquired later and incorporated into DC after the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
While there are certainly some copycats, and both sides are guilty of it…most of these are just heavily inspired. Which I still don’t think is right, the level of inspiration they take from it. But…whatever.
After discussing this stuff with my son this really brings home the comic competition that happened way before the films. Truth is would either have been as good without competition from the other. Look at Messi/ ronaldo blur/ oasis Churchill / Johnson 🤣
Who wants to see a football game, boxing match, or ufc fight where the opposing forces aren't trying to kill each other? I don't. Copy on and keep up the competition. The amlaglam universe was a great read for me.
I don't agree with any of these comparisons cuz if a company is designing a character with similar looking from other superheroes, they have to take permission from the og. That's why I find it illogical.
@C p um the flash save the entire universe from the motherbox and from darkseid getting the anti life equation that would control every life on the universe
Excepting Superman & Batman, it would be better if the characters' creators' names were displayed, as well. How many times would a name appear on each "side"?
There is a DC version of Spider-Man named Black Spider. He’s a super villain and a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains and sometimes is a part of the Suicide Squad. He’s often paired off against Batman.
There is or was no copycat. It’s just that artists that time, once a character is taken in by one company, they do another almost identical one and sell it to the other company. I’ve seen it on a documentary before.
Flash was the original one, and all the Speedster of dc like black racer godspeed and all carry the idea of flash and not the characters of Marvel, if anything resembles then Marvel took inspiration from flash not vice-versa
That vision and red tornado thumbnail is the furthest from true. They look similar but share very different powers and backstories. Most of the others are pretty spot on though.
Or maybe they just wrote characters with similar abilities into their comics. A lot of characters have the same powers and/or look alike. I doesn't mean they copied one another.
I personally like both Marvel and DC in terms of creativity, While there are some that are questionable , it’s kinda hard to make an original superhero with powers or skills that someone doesn’t already have , I don’t think it’s bad thing unless their origins are too similar but it’s rare to see a superhero with the same powers unless related or from another universe entirely.
What happened to the names and year of the characters in the first half of the video? No mention of Captain Marvel because the name straddles both Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
I was wondering what you're gonna come up with, cause I've never seen a similar to iron man character in dc Closest to Iron man would be a mix of batman and cyborg, but definitely more batman
Good video but how do you know that DC/Marvel or copycats when they just could have released the character a little late when they had the idea for maybe a year
Actually, Captain Marvel was Shazam earlier in DC but the right to that name somehow went to Marvel and they made the Character with that name, to retain the rights.......So, technically Captain Marvel was a DC character first which is now known as Shazam.
To be fair I dont consider some of these as copycats.. Like for example the catwoman, so nobody can make a cat lady superhero because somebody already came up with it?? Im surprised theres no wolverine, whos like one of the most famous marvel characters
In my opinion, it is not appropriate to compare the Falcon with a hawkman, they are nothing alike, the Falcon must be compared with Batwing, here there is a similarity in both mechanical wings, and a hawkman with an angel (archangel)
You know technically speaking these copycat characters are actually replacement characters or at least some of them some of the writers used to work for the other companies and I have heard that at one point the two companies were one but I'm not sure about that regardless whenever these writers were working with one another creating stories it's very much possible that many of these characters were taken away from the stories that they're originally in a good example might be Catwoman and black cat both are which are very similar and at one point they have been one character but whenever the writers split apart and took their characters with them many of them had to be replaced with copycat characters I'm not saying this is the case for every single copycat cares about I am saying that there are quite a couple copies of characters that are probably like this
Gawd, Man-Thing and Swamp Thing both came out in 1971. If you want to be picky, you could say, "Groot" (and yes I know the Heap, which itself is from Sturgeon's story, "It".
Forget the fan debates, my question is how does this channel have 4k subscribers with one video???? Did they delete videos? fake subs? I wonder what’s going on
Here are just some of the many discrepancies that are within this video. Although (Bane and Crossbones) may have similar looks... That's about the only thing the two have in common. (Bane and the Marvel villain Nuke) would have been a far more accurate comparison. Same with (Ghost Rider and Atomic Skull)! The two may look similar. But their powers and origins are completely different. In fact their fiery skull look is also predated by a Golden Age superhero from Timely Comics (which would later become Marvel), known as ''The Blazing Skull''. (Ghost Rider and DC.s Etrigan The Demon) would have been a much better comparison. (Green Arrow and Hawkeye) were both inspired by a Golden Age hero who first appeared in Funny Pages #21 (1938) named ''The Arrow''. And (Swamp Thing and Man Thing) were both inspired by ''The Heap''.
I'm also confused about captain marvel.on one hand I read Shazam captain marvel appear in whiz comics 1939 issue 2 and also in marvel super heroes issue 12,1967 and they both show in Wikipedia the Shazam captain marvel.
@@drcokepepperIt's a long and complicated story. But it can all be traced back to the year 1939. To a company called ''Fawcett Publications''. Who started their own comics division. In order to capitalise on the popularity of characters such as ''Superman'' and ''Batman''. At that time (Marvel comics) was known as (Timely Comics). Fawcett set out to create a ''Superman-esque'' character named “Captain Marvel”. Who first appeared in ''Whiz Comics'' #2 (February 1940). His name was (shortened from ''Captain Marvelous''. After they were unable to secure the rights to the name they originally wanted to use “Captain Thunder”. The comic turned out to be a huge success, even outselling ''Superman''. Fawcett's (Captain Marvel) actually went on to become the first comic book superhero to be adapted for the silver screen. In the 1941 Republic serial, (The Adventures of Captain Marvel). However, in 1953 the company stopped selling the comics after DC.Comics, sued Fawcett for copyright infringement. Suggesting the character (Captain Marvel) was a blatant rip off of ''Superman''. (Mainly due to his appearance, abilities and alter-ego ''Billy Batson''). Who also worked in journalism. After a lengthy legal process, Fawcett eventually paid DC comics a settlement. And agreed that they would discontinue the stories. Sales had dropped during that time. Making it an easier decision than it might have once been) - and that might have been that, if not for the unexpected resurgence of superhero comics. Which we now know as the (Silver Age of comics) in the mid-1960s. No longer able to publish the character due to the settlement... DC comics decided that they would license (Captain Marvel and his “Marvel family” of sidekicks). Adding them to their own stable of heroes. And eventually acquiring the characters outright. Unbenounced to DC comics at that time, in 1972. Marvel Comics (now existing under its familiar name)... Had also created and copyrighted its own character named ''Captain Marvel''. An alien warrior named ''Mar-Vell'' who made his debut in ''Marvel Super-Heroes'' #12 (December 1967). And fought alongside the heroes of Earth using his (Kree abilities and powerful nega-band technology). DC still kept the character name but retitled the ongoing comic book “Shazam!,”. The magic word said by young Billy Batson to transform into his Superhero alter ego and back again. Basically, while the character was still called ''Captain Marvel'', any comics and merchandise related to him were just branded with the (Shazam!) name and logo. And DC comics had enough leeway to keep using the character. At one point DC even attempted to subtitle the series as “The original Captain Marvel''. But Marvel comics sent out a cease-and-desist letter which led them to change it to “The World’s Mightiest Mortal”.
@@jeffreycoogan09 To make it more complicated here something Carl Burgos tried to get the right's to the original Human Torch ,after he lost Martin Goodman had Stan Lee &Jack Kirby bring the Torch back and kill him. Burgos was upset and must have known how to get to Goodman so he created an Android who could split his body apart called Captain Marvel for a new company. Goodman wasn't happy he got the character stopped and had Stan create Captain Marvel prevent that happening again. In 67 DC was the same people as the 50's who wanted Shazam Captain Marvel gone and also owned Independent News who distributed Marvel & DC so they had to know about Mar-cell wright away and didn't care. Most of the editors and publisher where different people when they wanted to do Captain Marvel.
4:17 They are nothing alike 😂 except that they both use magic. And also people seem to forget that Zatanna is a legacy character. Her dad kind of has the same powers as her and he debuted the same comic that superman came out in.

Knew Thanos was a copy of Darkseid way back when he first showed up. More than a few comic fans thought so too. Between the two, Darkseid is my favorite because he isn’t insane, and has a good idea of what to do and how to do it. Just my meager observation…..
And also Darkseid ain't no simp.
Darkseid is a generi villain
if only Darkseid really had a chance to shine as a main villain on the big screen. Yeah we got the Snyder Cut but I wanna see more
Phoenix and raven r also similar they r both birds, extremely almost infinite power and in need of a therapy
I literally made it two minutes in before I realized just how many of these pairs aren’t even related 🤡
Runner and Godspeed is a huuuuge stretch. They're speedsters who both have gold in their color scheme. Except Runner has ONLY gold in his color scheme, whereas Godspeed's suit is mostly white.
And they share exactly zero design similarities, their origins are nowhere close to the same, their motives and end goals are nothing alike. You'd be better off pairing Runner with The Flash, and even then their only similarities are that both of their designs kinda make nods to the god Hermes/Mercury (and not even the same nods; Flash has the winged boots/helm, with later versions having the wings eventually reshaped to lightning bolts and a mask instead of a Hermes/like cap, while Runner has a statue-like body and a loincloth).
What is interesting about this video is that a lot of times the "copycat" character tends to be the most recognizable or sucesfull one. It seems like the creators really improve on the flaws of the original idea

Just because strange and fate uses magic doesn't make strange a copycat.There origins are entirely different.
Both are doctors but fate is more powerful, maybe its the difference
@@CarbonizedSoda strange is more powerful in base and has a more powerful form
@Blaze i did learn the material, clearly unlike you. I started out with DC as a child, before realising that Marvel was just so much more powerful, and Doctor Strange managed to become black priest strange in the last days of magic, literally saving magic, the best thing dr fate could do was rescue spectre. Go read a comic my guy dr fate is limited and his magic follows rules, dr strange transcends those rules, allowing him to do and become many things such as completely immortal.
@Blaze order vs chaos as many times have proven they are both limited, dr fate saved spectre in an early comic, and yes that isn’t just any old feat, but saving all of magic, and commanding a race that beat the true darkhold scarlet witch is something far more impressive, especially since Wanda could easily wipe spectre and fate, but when she got ganged up against the black priests she wasn’t able to win. Also u bringing up artefacts that fate used which are nothing compared to things like the infinity gauntlet and the agamotto equipment. The thing is Dr fate hasn’t got as many amazing feats as dr strange, even if his helmet is thousands of years old, when you actually take a look at things like their powers, Dr Fate has mastered the mystic arts (apart from chaos magic but that’s bc he didn’t think it existed), whereas every time Fate tries to do something with his magic, it imbalances the universe with the whole order and chaos thing, which limits him
@Blaze it literally is a debate, just bc you seen a few "marvel fanboys" doesnt mean that they are right. As a kid I grew up with both, and the characters from the marvel universe are just much more powerful for 3 reasons.
1. the writers arent afraid to make their characters do crazy powerful things
2. the marvel and dc universes alr had crossovers and marvel just showed to be much more powerful
3. DC comics is just so limited and restrained, even down to the presence himself, being a judo-christian god, which gives him limits, compared to TOAA who is completely fictional
Now this is exactly what I was looking for, who copied whom?
i love how most of these are just common ideas like a guy with electricity powers or a cyborg, like bro theyre common things how are they copycats?
Their suit design, them being male or female, their powers all is considered before Marvel or DC create the copy character. It's not just a pure coincidence.
@@SignalFlowers some characters aren't even the same like moon knight and batman the story is way different and the powers aren't even look alike. Black widow and black canary aren't even the same black canary like a scream character while black widow isn't
They were new ideas back then.
@@eudboy2727 “Powers aren’t even look alike” you definitely don’t know anything about moon knight. Back then he was a millionaire who fought crime as moon knight with boomerangs and other stuff just like batman.
Being an avatar for an Egyptian god is incomparable to an orphan boy who dresses up as he’s fear and fights crime. You cannot change my mind.
I was thinking the same thing. I’d say moon knight is one of the more unique characters in comic books.

Martian Manhunter is a green-skinned person from another planet. Both Red Tornado and the Vision are red-skinned androids created on Earth.
@@tedcoop4392 Yes I know, but I was referring to they have similar powers.
I'd have said Silver Surfer was the Marvel version of Martian Manhunter, they're both super powerful aliens who originally started off as enemies to their respective teams but would eventually become heroes.
Same
I seen a video here on CZcams a few years back(it’s probably still on here I bet🤔). But the video said that there were some writers, and artist that were working with DC were roommates with some Marvel writers and artists and that they would discuss their newest characters with each other and that’s how a lot of characters were so much alike. Well, I mean that explains the ones that were introduced at or around the same time. But the ones that came decades later are just blatant rip-offs! I mean they all are blatantly ripped off from other characters but some are more so than others! But as long as it’s not too dead on and they have a good story I’m ok with it and it doesn’t bother me so much.
That wasn't a picture of Commander Steel, that was the Shield (1940), who beat Capt. America by a year.
Actually I disagree with Doom Patrol and X-Men. They were launched almost at the same time, and is not possible know who was the one with the original idea, because a lot of people that worked in marvel worked in DC at the same time
Maybe you are right. But If you looking of the characters name from the villans and the similarities of the two leaders how is on the wheelchair are exactly the same
I thought so too but if you look at the stories and taglines marvel clearly copied. doom patrol had the tag "the worlds strangest superheroes" and the xmen had "the strangest superheroes of all". then there's the obvious leader in the wheelchair. and the villains they come up against, doom patrol has the legion of evil and xmen have the legion of evil mutants. No hate, its just its more than just an idea that was copied from dc
And like you need some time like a few months to make a comic you can't create the same guys if you became with comic when the other didn't even drop ywt
X men look identical to Legion of Superheroes
@@nathanmorrison8117 copied and made 10 times better and 200 times more loved around the world by marvel

Wanda vs Raven

Their abilities seem more similar than the ones here.

Vision is, like Red Tornado, a red-skinned android created on Earth, really nothing like Martian Manhunter
Hyperion vs superman
I agree, especially with Vision and Martian Manhunter though one is not a robot they are similar in appearance most of the time, they also have similar powers, and they are both a part of their respective universe's premier superhero teams.
On another note Wanda and Raven are much better camparison than Wanda and Zatanna especially when it comes to their power sets, I wouldn't of actually thought of that if it weren't for this comment so thanks. 🙂
@@tedcoop4392 mmh is similar to Aarkus, the original Vision
@@xoradivided7950 Marvel's Vision was at most loosely based on Timely's Aarkus, and still has way, way more in common with Red Tornado.
Your image captioned as Commander Steel was actually of the Shield, of MLJ Comics, created in 1939, copied by Marvel in making Captain America (plus his association with S.H.I.E.L.D.).
You should compare the Shield's sidekick and Bucky as well.
Did Jack Kirby invent both Silver Surfer and Black Racer?
Of course, Doll Man came before both the Atom and Antman.
The creators of Marvel & DC comics had been friends and business partners they split up into two businesses to get more money and it worked . The end
Interesting comparisons. I think the "copycat" discussion is pulling teeth, but I like that there are origin times for characters that obviously are inspired by similar aesthetic. Gotta say would've compared Black Panther to Wildcat, Red Lion is the African version of Deathstroke. Although they look similar the characters are quite different.
I know what you mean but when their names are (color) (big cat) and their costume could be easily mistaken with a paint job...

Zatanna and Scarlet Witch are so different, so no one copied. P.S it's not too easy to make a comics so they couldn't copy each other in span of just 5-6 months.
DCs version of Scarlet Witch was a character called Silver Sorceress, a member of the superhero team, The Champions of Angor.
the banshee too they are very not common
+ vision and red tornado
They should have used maybe raven instead is zatana also black racer and silver surfer are nothing alike so that’s not even copy cat
The Scarlet Witch is way more powerful & complicated than Zatanna.
I gotta wonder what the criteria for "copycat" is here. Black Racer and Silver Surfer for example have very little in common aside from their name.
Also, some of these characters weren't owned by DC when they were created, but were acquired later and incorporated into DC after the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
While there are certainly some copycats, and both sides are guilty of it…most of these are just heavily inspired. Which I still don’t think is right, the level of inspiration they take from it. But…whatever.

After discussing this stuff with my son this really brings home the comic competition that happened way before the films. Truth is would either have been as good without competition from the other. Look at Messi/ ronaldo blur/ oasis Churchill / Johnson 🤣
I've noticed a pattern in DC's characters, whenever they copy Marvel, they always start their characters name with "Black"
Who wants to see a football game, boxing match, or ufc fight where the opposing forces aren't trying to kill each other? I don't. Copy on and keep up the competition. The amlaglam universe was a great read for me.
I don't agree with any of these comparisons cuz if a company is designing a character with similar looking from other superheroes, they have to take permission from the og. That's why I find it illogical.

I’ve seen it on a documentary before.

That vision and red tornado thumbnail is the furthest from true. They look similar but share very different powers and backstories. Most of the others are pretty spot on though.
A lot of these "copycat" characters were by the same artists working for both companies with the exception of a few
Also funny is how they were clearly just throwing names at a wall like bologna and seeing which stuck. Lmaoo
This list is a real stretch in most cases.
Marvel has around 7 Superman copies, Hyperion being the most blatant, DC has a parody version of Deadpool called Redtool
Or maybe they just wrote characters with similar abilities into their comics. A lot of characters have the same powers and/or look alike. I doesn't mean they copied one another.
They both are not copying they are taking inspiration from each other
Yeah a lot of the ones who ‘copied’ are better than the original so it is more like taking inspiration
I am so going to use that I was just taking inspiration from my seatmates quiz
Black cat and Cat woman....Black Panther and Red Lion....it"s copy,not inspiration😎👋❤
most of these characters are nothing like eachother.
I personally like both Marvel and DC in terms of creativity, While there are some that are questionable , it’s kinda hard to make an original superhero with powers or skills that someone doesn’t already have , I don’t think it’s bad thing unless their origins are too similar but it’s rare to see a superhero with the same powers unless related or from another universe entirely.
What happened to the names and year of the characters in the first half of the video? No mention of Captain Marvel because the name straddles both Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
I don't consider Lady Sif as a copy of Wonder Woman, she's an actually god of Norse. But Big Barda looks a copy of Lady Sif.
Squadron Supreme had a Superman rip off, but I think Gladiator was the most obvious
I was wondering what you're gonna come up with, cause I've never seen a similar to iron man character in dc
Closest to Iron man would be a mix of batman and cyborg, but definitely more batman
Good video but how do you know that DC/Marvel or copycats when they just could have released the character a little late when they had the idea for maybe a year
DC has so much not creative names like "Red Tornado" "Power Girl" and etc.
Iron man and spider man, ant man wasp and many others are creative?
Marvel has grey hulk red hulk she hulk
They got one wrong, Cap Marvel was made before, how is Marvel the copycat?
to be fair he put PowerGirl even though Captain Marvel was a clone of Supergirl. his error is technically correct
I know right
Task failed succesfully
It's a typo. Carol didn't become a super hero until 1977
Actually, Captain Marvel was Shazam earlier in DC but the right to that name somehow went to Marvel and they made the Character with that name, to retain the rights.......So, technically Captain Marvel was a DC character first which is now known as Shazam.
Just similar concepts. Can't run away from it
To be fair I dont consider some of these as copycats.. Like for example the catwoman, so nobody can make a cat lady superhero because somebody already came up with it?? Im surprised theres no wolverine, whos like one of the most famous marvel characters

You know technically speaking these copycat characters are actually replacement characters or at least some of them some of the writers used to work for the other companies and I have heard that at one point the two companies were one but I'm not sure about that regardless whenever these writers were working with one another creating stories it's very much possible that many of these characters were taken away from the stories that they're originally in a good example might be Catwoman and black cat both are which are very similar and at one point they have been one character but whenever the writers split apart and took their characters with them many of them had to be replaced with copycat characters I'm not saying this is the case for every single copycat cares about I am saying that there are quite a couple copies of characters that are probably like this

Here are just some of the many discrepancies that are within this video. Although (Bane and Crossbones) may have similar looks... That's about the only thing the two have in common. (Bane and the Marvel villain Nuke) would have been a far more accurate comparison. Same with (Ghost Rider and Atomic Skull)! The two may look similar. But their powers and origins are completely different. In fact their fiery skull look is also predated by a Golden Age superhero from Timely Comics (which would later become Marvel), known as ''The Blazing Skull''. (Ghost Rider and DC.s Etrigan The Demon) would have been a much better comparison. (Green Arrow and Hawkeye) were both inspired by a Golden Age hero who first appeared in Funny Pages #21 (1938) named ''The Arrow''. And (Swamp Thing and Man Thing) were both inspired by ''The Heap''.

@@drcokepepperIt's a long and complicated story. But it can all be traced back to the year 1939. To a company called ''Fawcett Publications''. Who started their own comics division. In order to capitalise on the popularity of characters such as ''Superman'' and ''Batman''.
At that time (Marvel comics) was known as (Timely Comics). Fawcett set out to create a ''Superman-esque'' character named “Captain Marvel”. Who first appeared in ''Whiz Comics'' #2 (February 1940). His name was (shortened from ''Captain Marvelous''. After they were unable to secure the rights to the name they originally wanted to use “Captain Thunder”.
The comic turned out to be a huge success, even outselling ''Superman''. Fawcett's (Captain Marvel) actually went on to become the first comic book superhero to be adapted for the silver screen. In the 1941 Republic serial, (The Adventures of Captain Marvel). However, in 1953 the company stopped selling the comics after DC.Comics, sued Fawcett for copyright infringement. Suggesting the character (Captain Marvel) was a blatant rip off of ''Superman''. (Mainly due to his appearance, abilities and alter-ego ''Billy Batson''). Who also worked in journalism. After a lengthy legal process, Fawcett eventually paid DC comics a settlement. And agreed that they would discontinue the stories. Sales had dropped during that time. Making it an easier decision than it might have once been) - and that might have been that, if not for the unexpected resurgence of superhero comics. Which we now know as the (Silver Age of comics) in the mid-1960s. No longer able to publish the character due to the settlement... DC comics decided that they would license (Captain Marvel and his “Marvel family” of sidekicks). Adding them to their own stable of heroes. And eventually acquiring the characters outright. Unbenounced to DC comics at that time, in 1972. Marvel Comics (now existing under its familiar name)... Had also created and copyrighted its own character named ''Captain Marvel''. An alien warrior named ''Mar-Vell'' who made his debut in ''Marvel Super-Heroes'' #12 (December 1967). And fought alongside the heroes of Earth using his (Kree abilities and powerful nega-band technology). DC still kept the character name but retitled the ongoing comic book “Shazam!,”. The magic word said by young Billy Batson to transform into his Superhero alter ego and back again. Basically, while the character was still called ''Captain Marvel'', any comics and merchandise related to him were just branded with the (Shazam!) name and logo. And DC comics had enough leeway to keep using the character.
At one point DC even attempted to subtitle the series as “The original Captain Marvel''. But Marvel comics sent out a cease-and-desist letter which led them to change it to “The World’s Mightiest Mortal”.
@@jeffreycoogan09 To make it more complicated here something Carl Burgos tried to get the right's to the original Human Torch ,after he lost Martin Goodman had Stan Lee &Jack Kirby bring the Torch back and kill him. Burgos was upset and must have known how to get to Goodman so he created an Android who could split his body apart called Captain Marvel for a new company. Goodman wasn't happy he got the character stopped and had Stan create Captain Marvel prevent that happening again.
