Swamp Thing and Man Thing were both inspired by The Heap (1942). The fact that they both debuted in 1971 isn't a coincidence; that's when the Comics Code Association relaxed the restrictions against horror comics.
The creators of each characters were roommates too!
Thw creator of swampthing stold the idea frm his roommate who created man thing. They poblished man thing a month before they published swampthing.
@@Daniel-ew5qf fr?
And "The Heap" was inspired by Theodore Sturgeon's "It" in 1940
@@Daniel-ew5qf which company is creator of heap?
The important thing to take away is that these two have been helping each other build up a monopoly over the superhero comic franchise and nobody can defy these two.
Your right! However the actual legal term for it is Oligopoly, since it is about more than one company working in concert to control the market fix prices and restrain competition!!
They are actually illegal!!!
Funnily enough, they're slowly losing sales to Manga
I at least appreciate how 75% of these are only copycats at first glance and the actual characters are incredibly different
Thanos was pulled from Darksied yet the two could not be any different.
Its like they copied at first but then later became their own characters
@@arkangelgaming35 do not know. I watch so many superhero shit last year, that I start notice any difference even between batman and spiderman. Those superheroic franchise are soooo predictable in terms of story, characters, villains. If you watch any first 10 minutes of any superhero movie you will already know who will one in the end

Firestorm was actually DC's attempt to cash in on Spider-Man's success by having him be also a teenager who gained powers from a radioactive accident
What a lot of people don’t know and I didn’t know this myself at first but it’s really understandable once you figure out why they’re so many similar if not almost one for one copycats of characters. The first reason is that a lot and I mean a lot of these artists were roommates. For example if I’m not mistaken I think it was Man-Thing and Swamp Thing creators were roommates at the time. And again(if I’m not mistaken) Marvel and DC comics were literally right down the street from each other at one point and time and a lot of the artist and creators would all live together and talk about their projects with each other. Hell, and some said that they would actually purposely make similar characters to see who could I guess make a better character or see who’s character people would like the most. So it was more of a friendly rivalry and it would make creators work harder because they would want to one up their friends so they could have the bragging rights. A second reason was that a lot creators would leave one company and go to the other after so long but couldn’t take their creations they worked so hard on so they’d for the most part just create a character that was just the same as their last character. Like the Phantom Stranger and the Phantom Reporter, now idk if the same person or not created both I’m just using these two as an example. Say that the creator of the Phantom reporter left Marvel and went to DC but people really loved his character so he’d just create pretty much the same character and since comics were made for little boys they usually wouldn’t pay attention that much to it. But if they did they probably just thought he changed some how since his name, and appearance were so close that they couldn’t be different people. And lastly, idk how true this is but I heard that sometimes people would spy for another comic company and then go to the other with information on appearance, powers etc etc and then get paid for said information. Hell, I’ve even heard that some of those quote on quote “spies” were actual employees of the rival comics company, hell some creators themselves from what I had heard lol. But without those types of things going on we wouldn’t have some of the amazing characters that we have now! So to those who did what they did thank you, because without that the industry wouldn’t have been what it is today🙌🏾 lol.

UNDEFEATED
Underrated*
Fun Fact!
Lord Havok, Gorgon, Dr Diehard and Dreamslayer were intended to be parodies of Dr Doom, Dr Octopus, Magneto and Dormammu respectively
Theyre even from a parallel Earth from the main DC Earth were they fight their own versions of Marvel's heroes!
Bruh fire star and star fire they weren’t even trying
Firestar and Starfire they really weren't trying with the names
I thought Firestar was originally created to replace Human Torch in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends because Ice Man was already going to be in the show and they decided they wanted at least one friend to be female.
@@ScionStorm1 That and i don't think could explain cosmic rays yet.
@@Va1karius Actually I think that one goes to Frankie Raye as one of Galactus heralds.
Both companies were literally competing each other. Literally. They look at each others comics and write everything down
Actually both companies were hiring the same writers and artist as freelance - so they would end up designing very similar characters and STORYLINE's because it is very hard to keep up with creating new characters and stories.
Also an artist might design a new character for one company and be told great character but bad look so he changes the look for that character but he really likes his orginal image so he sells that look to the other company and they make a similar hero or villian to match the look - which means both companies end up with a new very similar characters.
To be fair, most of these were created by two or three guys that went back and forth between both companies. 😂
And there are people who get butthurt over that lol
Makes sence tho. Dunno why the butthurt
Yeah the one most prominent of these situations are Darkseid and Thanos. They were both made by *the* Jack Kirby
kirby lmao
And in the case of Man Thing and Swamp Thing, I want to say I remember reading that the guy who created Man Thing and the guy creating Swamp Thing were like roommates or friends or something and the guy who created Swamp Thing alleged that the guy who created Man Thing stole his idea and got it Marvel before he could get Swamp Thing to DC.. or something like that...

Moon Knight: a millionaire left for dead at the feet of the statue of a moon deity, driven by vengeance, adopts the deity's motif and, using his intense physical training, military background, intelligence and strategic talent, becomes a caped vigilante that operates at night. He uses custom vehicles designed and shaped after the moon motif, uses a combination of zip lines and gliding cape to rush through the city's rooftops, uses crescent moon-shaped throwing blades as signature weapons and is assisted in his crusade by his butler and lifelong best friend, a lean, dark haired, mustachioed man with a military background who's also a proficient technician and improvised doctor with battlefield experience. He passes himself during daytime as a carefree wealthy playboy type and occassional philanthropist to disguise his nocturnal activities, but he also adopts other personalities in order to blend in amongst disreputable people, and gather information from them, like his 'Steven Grant' cab driver persona, and his rogues gallery is filled with a number of street level villains, psychos and full-blown serial killers, which happens to be oddly fitting as, for all his intelligence, resources and determination, he's also short of a few marbles himself.

Though, Firestar isn't a copy of Starfire.
She was made for Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends to replace Human Torch because they couldn't get the rights to him (think something similar to the Sony/MCU Spider-Man situation).
Basically, Marvel copied themselves because they sold their IP to multiple companies and needed a way to put one character in without reconfiguring the IP.

@Metapan but how. What ur saying makes zero sense because dc came first. D.C. came in 1934 and marvel in 1939. It’s almost Impossible for dc to have copied marvel
More because dc has had more time. D.C. have ripped a lot of from marvel aswell but marvel has done it more and has done it more blatantly.

@alien from another planet dc doesn’t only just have Batman and Superman. They have the whole justice league which includes Wonder Woman, aquaman, the flash and green arrow. Dc also has the teen titans. We also have Shazam. Why don’t u do ur research before commenting.
I live how both scarecrow are practically identical, there are so many directions you could take a scarecrow design and Marvel said nah
Phoenix: telepathy, telekinesis.
Raven: dark magic.
Author: they are similar
Raven is not a magic user in her original incarnation, magic is not even her best ability,it's the soulself which is an essential part of her was underutilized and downgraded, she has telekinesis and telepathy like every one else but nothing like the phoenix ,the soulself is a shapeless void busted with too much extra dimensional energy.
I think they are comparing the character designs in some cases, its also valid in my opinion, but I also think that they added too many DC characters that were rip offs of Marvel characters (Havoc, Gorgon) as Marvel has the Supreme Squadron's universe in the same way,
Also, isn't phoenix from mythology?
The better comparison would be raven and cloak

Spiderman has the most distinctive design so it is easy to see it was copied.

I could go on but it should be obvious
I like how they put the two most known speedsters as copies of each other.
I'm pretty sure a couple of these characters and their counterparts were created by the same people.
In fact, a lot of these were from completely different companies before DC (and probably Marvel) bought the rights.
Here's my take:
Some are definitely copycats, but flash and Quicksilver, Hawkeye and Green Arrow, the butlers, etc. Come on, each universe needs at least one speedster, archer, butler, etc.
@@abovethelaw4417 I'll take that as a really good point

This ends in four different ways:

-The one that came after steals the spotlight
-Both of them are equally known
-Both of them are unknown to the public

Crack Goat but both play a crucial part in assisting their employers who both happen to have dead parents and no superpowers
@@tmaacattack I mean yes but i'd argue that neither character is a unique concept. Plus Jarvis has gone from butler to AI and though this is a more modern interpretation of the character should be taken into consideration.
@@crackgoat9780 the timing of their appearence, their roles, their then-persona, and their aforementioned masters overall a multitude of things imply this commonality. Sure its nothing uncommon, nor these two in question are. But can you name any other butler that made such an impact like Alfred did? Point being Alfred was taken as a plot device that preexisted, while Jarvis was more likely inspired by Alfred's popularity.
Alfreds full name is literally Alfred Jarvis Pennyworth.
But both are rich right?
Great research 👏 👌 👍

Please, make a Video about comparison between characters from Martial Arts Video Games
( STREET FIGHTER & TEKKEN )
I love how on the show of moon knight they tried to make him less similar to batman. For example Steven is regular guy, he isn't rich like in the comics. And many other things like the gadgets.
The point is that Marvel managed to make him an original character
Raven is half demon with magic and dark magic. Phoenix is basically a celestial goddess. Just because they're women both named after birds means nothing.
True, but the pictures shown in the video pretty much shows the similarities between the two, probably the only similarity.
Corry Jamieson The title says copycats which would mean that one directly caused the other’s existence.
The word also implies that they should have few discrepancies between them.
Raven is a half demon who’s power originates from blood and magic,
Phoenix is a mutant with access to tremendous power via an unrelated entity.
They look completely different due to one coming from Earth and the other from Azarath.
They have almost the polar opposite color scheme where as one is entirely Warm colors due to fire.
While the other is cool colors blues etc. The Raven is an omen of death where as the Phoenix has a never ending life cycle of rebirth.
They are both strong women of great power but other than that they are completely different.
@@ravendc5871 I just pointed out one small similarity, I didn't asked to get an education
Corry Jamieson.
I apologize for coming of that way. To be honest I probably went a little overboard, but I guess having an opinion does come at the risk of others misinterpreting it. I didn’t mean to upset you or lecture you. I just like Raven as I can relate to her quite a lot in my own ways.
I guess I kind of have a facade going where when I’m stressed or overwhelmed I avoid confronting these emotions by dissociating and trying to be all that she is. Wise, powerful and courageous and so on.
I’ll stay out of your hair, I wish you all the best.
Stay safe

y'know? Thats how the world works.
I honestly never knew there was a Marvel Scarecrow
Scarecrows are a real thing too
It was probably a throwaway villain while cooling off from a major plotline. Marvel makes tons of villains that they kill off wantonly, while DC makes a few villains and never let them die no matter how much that beg.
F tier marvel villain

Call me salty but some of the heroes here aren't very similar and aren't copycats yes they're similar but just because they are doesn't mean they are just copies like black mask and red skull... completely different but that's just me
Alot of these were bad comparisons to me too. Raven and the Phoenix force? No way. They are so different. Some of these are 20 + years apart.
Bradley Paul no you’re completely right.
maddhatter 713 nope your right it’s like comparing killer frost to iceman two completely different types of characters just because they both have ice powers

Marvel and Dc’s conversations be like
Marvel: That’s a nice jacket you got there
Dc: I could say the same about you
underrated
I’m you, but from another timeline.
@@teufortimusprime4929 lol
It’s funny to see that most of the times Marvel “copied” DC the design of the characters is basically entirely different, but when DC “copies” Marvel its blatantly obvious they took maybe a bit too much inspiration from them. Also it’s funny to see the different perspectives each company took with their designs
Marvel: Let’s not reveal too much skin on a lot of our heroes and villains
DC: *S K I N*
there are some inaccuracies, for example the jsa is missing, plus other than firestorm there is firebrand, who was created in 1941, also in 69 (nice) there should be Jonny Thunder with Black lightning who was created in 1940
I feel like comparing Red Tornado to Vision is a bit of a stretch, they’re both red robots but don’t have similar powers tbh
that and their released publications are literally 2 months apart, with Red Tornado being released in August 1968, and Vision being in October 1968. Publications take longer than 2 months, so to say that Marvel copied DC with that one is probably false. They were being worked on at relatively the same time.
Same goes for other characters on this list who are literally 2-3 months apart (Man Thing and Swamp Thing being a big one). So many people site that as DC copying Marvel, but they're literally 2 months apart, and you can't fully publish a comic with a new character in only 2 months, meaning Swamp Thing was in the works before Marvel revealed their new character. DC couldn't have known about it beforehand unless an ex Marvel writer moved over to DC and told them about it.
For me vision is more similar to Martian manhunter, both in Powers and personality, although they have extremely different origins
@@dasetof I heard Vision can attack with laser and he can dodge with intangible power.
@@huylam3951 Martian manhunter also has laser beams (with his eyes) and can change his density and become also invisible. He has basically the same powers of Vision but can also read minds and change his form, but has a weakness to fire that vision does not have. Red Tornado is a similar character in personality to Vision and Martian Manhunter and is a robot but that's it.
In the end what does it really matter we got some great characters out of both companies
Phoenix and Raven aren’t copycats, they’re drastically different characters who just both happen to have incredibly dangerous powers.
Edit: been almost a year and I still get regular replies to this comment lol.
Yeah! One of them got split personalities who becomes a power hungry maniac and the other can't draw so much emotion if a parent is gonna crash the party
Same concept of a lady with super dangerous powers that is named after a bird lmao
