And today, well we’re gonna go through the most popular of these Superman copycats, ranking them from weakest to strongest. So lets get into it!

I feel like Metro Man should be on this list, he has one of the best speed feats in any animated movie.
Agreed. He’s clearly a Superman copycat, and seems to have no weaknesses.
And technically we have no idea what his true limits are
@@spencergsmith Welll mental ones he kinda does
@@SteadyFreakalmost all of the superman clones are weak to psychic
@@aatroxakali4177 I meant like physiological ones not psychic
Shazam is a God, 7 Gods actually. But Superman always sees him as Little Billy Batson, thats Superman's only weakness,his Humanity and Kindness.
Facts
If we're being realistic here, Shazam should be at least 1% more powerful than Superman because with all of the powers he has from the 7 Gods, He's actually Cracked. But because Superman is Superman, Shazam never really has access to the Wisdom of Solomon and instead always has the wisdom of Billy himself making Shazam out as a Man-child. In reality, Solomons Wisdom should always help him get the upper hand in a fight and always make him the smartest person in the room. Realistically, Superman should actually have a 40/60 chance at beating him but again, He's Superman so Shazam will always be extremely overlooked and downplayed to lose 99% of the time.
Not a god a DEMIGOD a "lesser god".
@@thanos1335 Captain Marvel btw
@@thanos1335 Being wise doesn't make you a great fighter, unless you're wise in the way of fighting. Solomon was a wise king but not a great warrior.
CORRECTION: Blue Marvel didn’t just ‘suddenly’ have powers out of no where. He was working on an antimatter project and his friend (Who became Anti-Man) got trapped in the antimatter device. It then exploded affecting both of them and THEN gave them supernatural powers and abilities.
BM also took on the Avengers all at once, K.O.’d Sentry with one punch that launched Sentry into space and through a satellite station, and defeated Anti-Man…all in a matter of hours. *(This is the 616 universe)*
And also him getting asked to step down happened in the 60's in the Jim crow Era, not at just some random time because he was a black guy.
Stop deleting my comments CZcams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@hdsquality9810he should be higher on the list
They had to jump Blue Marvel lol
Before Shazam Superman could only leap tall buildings. In a way Superman was stealing Captain Marvels moves.
😂😂😂
Seriously. Dc had to buy the rights to shazam because he was outselling superman. Dc has made their living off of stealing ideas and shazam was smashing their so called "most iconic character ".......lmao
Dc is a bad joke.
@@gavingrider7884I mean Marvel does the same. Even Immortal has done that. When you have the money, you buy good ideas.
Not saying it’s good, just stating that all the big companies are trash
@@gavingrider7884dc > marvel
@@epsyfn not even.....lmao!
Weakest? Either Homelander, Utopian or Metroman...no doubt about it.
Strongest? The Sentry....easily and no contest.
Thank you
Blue Marvel ended up beating him after he knocked Sentry into orbit. So “easily?” Nope. And Blue Marvel took out King Hyperion with 3 blows after KH pissed him off. But DEFINITELY agree, Wonder Man would beat the brakes off Homelander. Homelander doesn’t belong on this list. Like they used to say even before Wonder Man leveled up, “his fists hit like Thor’s hammer.” Homelander would get rolled like a tumbleweed.
Plutonian wins against Sentry
@@buhvico4683 Umm, no.
@@buhvico4683😂😂😂😂sentry would end him quickly
Supreme..... DEAL WITH IT
or Gladiator... and the fact I see neither as top five means I can't take this serious
@@billybadass3056 🤮
@billybadass3056 did they do away with his strength and feats tied to his confidence?
@@bodydoublesecurity4987 oh idk.. most likely not especially in this era
Yeah how did he forget Supreme.
Shazam = god(s), Superman = alien 😮
Black Adam is basically Shazam unleashed.
Shazam isn't a copycat!! He may have a similar suit but he's very different from their origin to powers and concept.
He's literally just a Superman but shoots lightning instead 😂
Shazam actually was more popular than Superman when he was created by Faucet Comics. DC even sued Faucet Comics to get them to stop the publishing the comic because they said he was a ripoff of Superman. He is an original hero with a different power set. DC even bought the rights to Shazam to make sure he did not become more popular than Superman. Now, you are better informed.
@@andredean7400 He was Captain Marvel.
@@andredean7400eh doesn’t mean it’s not highly influenced. No matter how much you wanna fight for the little guy, you cannot deny the obvious influence Superman had on the original Shazam.
Yes
Remember dc brought shazam because at that time shazam was outselling superman so DC brought shazam but they had to update him because if you don't use a character within a certain time you lose the rights to them simular with reboots but of course DC is gonna downplay shazam to make superman look good.
You know your history.
Ironic. DC wasn't paying due dilligance and all of Whiz wound up in the Public Domain(Black Adam might be an exception) . All of Charlton wound up in the Public Domain with the maybe exception of E-Man, because they really didn't pay much attention to copyright placement. They only were in the comic industry was to keep their presses running.
You forgot
Utopion
Wonderman (he's close enough)
Metroman
Bizzaro (he counted ultraman he can count bizzaro)
I mean what the hell is wonder man
@@EDsavantmarvel character
@@Julian-pw5mvI know I thought he was a ww rip off
No Thor
No Silver Surfer
@@albertpringle4918 thor is a character from norse mythlodegy he's a few hundred years on superman
I never thought of silver sufer as a rip off of anyone he's completely unique
It's disrespectful to call SHAZAM aka Capitan Marvel, a Superman copycat. Fawcet comucs, when they'd created the character. He was outselling Superman. And. SHAZAM was flying before Superman. Plus. DC sued them and years later, ended up buying the character after all of that b.s. Apparently. DC saw the value and creativity that Fawcett had with him. SHAZAM is his own unique character. The SHAZAM acronym says it all.
lol, I posted the same idea but you said it much better.
As Tony Stark said, "Finally, someone who speaks English!"😂😂😂
WHIZ COMICS!!!!!
@@thebeast9606 “Your math is blowing my mind right now.”
Captain marvel/shazam was a literal RIP OFF of superman. Fawcett lost the civil suit because of this. You people are DUMB.
Sentry. Because The Void alone would destroy our universe and nobody can stop him. Unless they were omega level... Maybe.
Superman despite the hate and disrespect from DC he is the blueprint of modern superheroes, from his powers superheroes and villains were born. From his speed, The Flash,Quicksilver and various others speedsters were created, from his optic lasers, Cyclops was created, Ice Breath, Iceman, Killer Frost were created and from his strength and durability way too many to mention. Hate or love him he is still the greatest superhero of all time.
Bro forgot Metroman 😂 hehe. He basically has Superman's powers but not his weaknesses. He even had a song that goes like this:
"I have eyes that can see right through leeeaaddd"
Shazam is not a superman copy, nothing of his history, abilities, or skills are in anyway the same as Superman.
DC hated Captain Marvel/Shazam because he outsold Superman. And had a movie before Superman.
To the point DC took Kingdom come comics to court in order to sue them for copying. The judge ruled that DC does not have a monopoly on heros with strength, flight, and speed.
Since getting him, DC has made Captain Marvel a joke and it pisses me off.
Shazam was LITERALLY a ripoff of superman, published just 2 years after superman was created. DX sued fawcett comics over this FACT and WON their case... Forcing fawcett to shut down. Learn your comic book history. Amateur.
a good list, but lets not forget both mon-el amd ultra boy from the legion of super heros
The Legion never gets its due respect...
@gregorykiernan7849 the legion got its "respect" in Gladiator. As he and the shiar imperial guard are ALL knockoffs of the Legion of Superheroes.
It's hard to believe even in comics that sentry got that freakin powerful just by drinking a concoction I can see maybe colossus type strength and quicksilver speed , but God like abilities, I bet captain America probably wishes he would've got the dose that sentry got.
Captain Marvel....I refuse to call him Shazam.
Marvel ruined that for me lol
Agreed
I think if his name was Shazam it would be redundant so I agree
If you ever seen the power hour with Shazam...old cartoon...there is Shazam and Captain Marvel
The only answer should be Captain Marvel/Shazam; he was the only one to out sell Superman in the Golden Era....
Hmm...I would've thought Blue Marvel was above Gladiator...interesting
Never forget Captain Marv- i mean Shazam was the one with the original bald head nemesis archetype.
No Supreme? Also Majestic should be higher. He literally moved planets in the comics
I think the strongest Superman copy is the one in the yellow that turns into that demon thing
You mean Sentry? Yep, he is.
No love for Miracleman? Perhaps he would be considered a Captain Marvel clone.
He-Man, Thor, MiracleMan formerly named Marvel Man was the British Captain Marvel when DC finally won lawsuit against Fawcett (CM/Shazam)
Sentry is so not a superman rip off. Hes far more powerful, and he can't die.
You might as well say "any comic charicter that flys and is strong, is a superman ripoff.......smh
Stop hating because you know Sentry and his poweres are superior to the superturd.
The most powerful? The Sentry, easily.
The weakest? Homelander, Metro Man or the Utopian... and that's a given.
I liked Mark Ward’s Kingdom Come where Shazam and Supes were basically equal and stalemating each other.
I’ve been waiting on dis vid
Can you do a video of the strongest Wonder Woman copycats next?
Superman weakness is not magic
Superman is vulnerable to magic
Superman has beaten villains with magic before 💯
The copycats will never compare to the Goat. 🐐
Sentry extreme diffs
Well it depends on whether sentry can beat Clark in a fight
@@morbidzombiinah hope prevails low diff
The goat was a copy too.
@@morbidzombii What you just said means everybody is becoming to confident with this copycats, Superman feats you can't beat them, How does Superman fly so fast that he out of the comic and Sentry fight him extreme diffs????????????????????????????
And people say that Sentry is Superboy Prime's equal.
Even base Superman can beat him
@@DahGabriel-gk2crbase superman is not beating sentry lmfao. Sentry has better feats and has conquered the Void.
just say you dont know superman the current superman has all his feats @@morbidzombii every event for superman is canon now
every crisis event
superman has all of his feats from his almost 100 year histroy
@@morbidzombiibase superman went into the source itself survived and escaped it and thenproceeded to make a hole in the source wall. He does clap sentry I fear.
Plutonian has a lil different origin n crazy power level, he is by far the strongest. But great vid, keep it up!
I'm curious if the clips for each character ever get updated...some of these same clips are still being used from like 4 or 5 years ago it seems.
Sentry would body all of them.
He wishes.
@@pullcarsmelly8051he literally is an angelic level being
@@Mrkeepgettinmoney he "literally" is not. He's a walking superman "plot device" metaphor. If gladiator and the shiar are superboy and the legion of superheroes, and hyperion is the superman of the JLA, then Sentry is the "I can pull a new superpower from my butthole on a whim" aspect of superman. How do you people miss this obvious shit. Sentry is a big fish.... in a SMALL marvel pond. DC operates on another tier. Sentry has never one punched a multiverse out of existence, tanked a universe destroying explosion, or used heat vision to repair holes in reality, and some of those on this list scale to THAT.
The fact that you have Blue Marvel so low on this list negates it's validity. You literally said "Blue Marvel defeated Sentry".... Then turn around and put Sentry at 1???
Why did Marvel felt the need of coming up with all of these Superman variants? They should have developed Thor more as an answer to Superman, now he is as weak as Spider-Man
How in the world did yall leave out Supreme. He's a loaded beast
Icon is another good one left off
Lord Majesto / Majestic 'nuff said !
Blue Marvel for me, he's beaten Hyperion, even fought with the beyonder he literally an alpha level threat.....but gladiator and the sentry would be next up for me
PRE-VIDEO comment: I believe it's Sentry. The guy is practically TOON-FORCE.
POST VIDEO: Of course, it's Sentry.
Wait, Hyperion was higher than Blue Marvel in the Strongest MCU character list POSTED FREAKING YESTERDAY, but he is BELOW Blue Marvel on this list.
They guy who created Blue Marvel, Kevin Therouix, said he was about the same power level as Thor and Hulk though.
Everybody forgets Mon El, the Utopian, Supreme from Image Comics and the Samaritan from Astro City. Good list though.
You also forgot Brightburn
The sentry is definitely the strongest the feats he's done were insane
u forgot,
brightburn
bizarro
utopion
saitama
metroman
Shazam (the original Captain Marvel) was only a copy in terms of superficial abilities.
I don't normally comment but a tier list of best Ironman clones would be awesome xo-manowar it be interesting to see how he'd compare in that list ?
That would be awesome, man!
I'd be between Cyborg, Blue Beetle (Reyes), Booster Gold, Lex Luthor (Warsuit), Steel, Rocket Red Batman w/ Hellbat, Robot and Tech Jacket.
I know that brightburn is a child and a bad guy but still has all the powers that superman has.
Can you do: brightburn vs homelander please?
Sentry is more powerfull than superman
No!!!!!
Yup
@@robertestrada5987 Sentry is not more powerful than superman..
@@user-gt4sm5gh5t I think he is, controlling molecules and Void!
but he cant control superman molecules, Superman body is so dense, even molecule manipulator cant control or shred superman's molecules.......
Would love to see Omniman tangle with Homelander... Similar psychos.
Longshot vs Black Cat
Why does no one ever throw Supreme on the list? Also id argue that by default Icon = Superman in DC and both Sentry and Blue Marvel equal the two in Marvel along with Hyperion and Gladiator. Manhunter should be on the list also.
Superman time.
Sentry is a beast
Bro Shazam is in the same Franchise with Superman too!
Do a part 2.
You could make a top 100 with how many Superman-inspired characters there are.
I think Sentry is even stronger than Super man
Just read about CAS
Leave it to Marvel he is
Wrongggggggggggg
@@mrbatman9131 leave it up to Marvel
@AbhishekGupta-sy6it CAS is litterly a combination of superman and ultraman to create what's described as a "thought robot" that's like saying if sentry combined with another hero and became something new that it's still sentry. Stop fan boying
Sentry ain't no superman copy man. Dude got a different breed
I'd also argue Goku is a superman archatype aswell
And he would be #1 on this list Goku is more powerful than Sentry.
Shazam is not a Superman copycat
A lot of people just dont know about sentry...
Based on what's described here alone.... Kinda got the vibe that the Plutonian should be rated higher than The Gladiator. That said, neat list. Maybe there could be a Part 2, considering how many more Superman expies there are out there.
Like say Metro Man, The Utopian, Astro City's Samaritan and Supreme to mention a few.
Sentry isn’t a Superman copycat
He has power different by Superman - his character is totally different and the psichology is clearly opposite.
Ikaris isn’t a copycat of Superman
why is the Sentry higher than Blue Marvel when Sentry is sacred of him
Here are some video ideas all power rangers villains ranked, all power rangers Zoe’s ranked, and all tales of Arcadia characters ranked
Sentry's the GOAT!!!!! He's the best Superman! Why won't they give him his show already?!
Marvel has about 6 (Superman like heroes) alone
Ikaris, Sentry , Homelander, and Omi Man is such powerful evil version of Superman
I still refuse to call Billy Batson “Shazam”. That’s the name of the ancient wizard who gave Billy his powers. To me, he’ll always be Captain Marvel. DC was foolish to abandon the name.
Honorable mentions: All might )my hero academia) Black Adam (DC universe) saitama (one punch man)
i think martian manhunter can also rank on this list.
I was really looking forward to Supreme being brought up. I remember him punching holes in people and killing whole super hero teams.
Sentry is.
Would David Cain make a great Green Arrow villain?
Tobias Whale (DC Comics) vs Kingpin (Marvel)
Spider-Man vs Ben Tennyson
Harley Quinn vs Himiko Toga
Taskmaster vs Deathstroke
Spider-Man and Ben 10 are my all time favorites...but Ben would wash Peter if all the chips were on the table.
Himiko Toga easily, her quirk is OP
You forgot 2 add The Martian Manhunter
Never heard of most of these guys but now I’m interested in a few especially the ex slave
How is Supreme not on this list, and #1 at that. Outrageous.
Sentry is absolutely busted but would Surfer qualify as a Super clone...if so, it's him.
The Sentry is OP!
Sentry and Shazam are the most powerful Copycat Supermen
Shazam isn't a copycat
@sinyaugustine817 Not anymore. Yes, he is a different man-child, but back then, just from what people see from him, we see a magical Superman.
You forgot Kevin Green(Prime) from Malibu comics & Ethan Edwards Marvel comics
Yeah prime time
He is barely above homelander level
It's kinda funny that both superman's weakest and strongest rip offs are just normal humans who gained powers from a serum
Solid list but leaving Supreme off of it is a miss.
Sentry!!!!!!!!!!!
I think a lot of people underestimate how strong omniman is
He is one of the weakest superman ripoffs of all.
@@pullcarsmelly8051 not true
@@Flopfist It is absolutely true. Superman moves worlds and stars and solar systems and shatters multiverses. Ommi man can move a mountain. Superman reacts faster than light and travel thru time. Omniman is only several times faster than sound on his feet. Superman can blink from galaxy to galaxy in an instant and fly across his megasized universe in seconds. It takes omni man WEEKS just to travel outside of THIS galaxy. Superman is far more invulnerable to injury. Omni man has been beaten, disemboweled, put in a coma, etc. and for the record, many of Superman's knockoffs are close enough to him to be a worthy enough rival. But Omni man? Or ANY viltrumite for that matter? Superman is farther ABOVE they are, than THEY are above an average human being. It's not close to being a contest, and it's zero debatable. Kirkman's characters are weak.
@@pullcarsmelly8051 if you actually read the invincible comics you would know omniman can move planets/ destroy planets
@@pullcarsmelly8051 there's no point in arguing with someone who doesn't even know both characters lmao
Gladiator,blue marvel are different not copycat and maybe stronger than a ordinary version of superman but superman have some strong multiversal version of him as well
You should do a video hero’s that can technically beat Superman in a fight like the flash or Shazam
Shazam is not a Superman copycat…
Supreme (Image)? Or Nuclear Man (Superman IV movie)? Or General Zod for that matter ;)
Wish Jupiter's legacy wasn't cancelled, it was looking to be an alternative to 'The boys' as a mature rated live action super heroes TV show.
I doubt he would be particularly powerful, but Ultimo of the Galactic Enforcers from the Ben 10 franchise. His kryptonite is chocolate, which is highly toxic to his species though was able to recover from a does that cussed him to collapse most of his skeletal muscle mass within 24 hours.
I really didn't think Gladiator would be so high. I understand he is powerful but is he reality warping powerful?
iden versio in her tie fighter from battle front 2 vs Luke skywalker in his x wing
You forgot Image Comic Superman Copy in Supreme.
So Gladiator & Shazam is over Blue Marvel? So lightning & confidence wins over matter manipulation? 😑
Great point!
@LindaSueGames DanCo be trippin man! Might be racist like the government was towards Blue Marvel! 😆 I'm kidding halfway! I mean, where does that logic come from? I would think Blue Marvel would be under Sentry, or at #1!
How the hell is Shazam a copycat he has different powers and he’s a child
Icon then century Icon you said it yourself is on par with og superman based on DC crossover event . It's literally cannon so that means icon can literally do more then the void superman beat hulk as well and doomsday. Superman can hold black holes so that means icon can as well I read ultra verse as a child.
