SECRET Superhero Copycats You've NEVER Heard Of

[@TheGamingGhost574]

Thanos isnt actually trying to help people in the comics, he’s basically just a huge simp that wants to get a chance with Death.

[@systertravian3198]

Hmm Thanos has lvl 10000000 gyatt

[@manicwolfgaming4940]

Came here to say this, he's also involved in the WEIRDEST love triangle in comics. -Death is represented as a female grim reaper, and, well, depending on who is drawing her, she thicc... lol -Death is fascinated and quite possibly in love with Deadpool, because his healing factor is even stronger than Wolverine's, and he literally will never die. (Seriously, Xavier once theorised in the comics that Wolverine could probably die highlander style aka decapitation, but Deadpool we have seen in comics get decapitated a lot) -Thanos is in love with Death, and his whole plan with the infinity gauntlet was to sacrifice the majority of the galaxy to get her attention. Thanos is in direct competition with Deadpool for Death's love... lol

[@blazypoo1723]

@@manicwolfgaming4940Not to mention that for the longest time, DeadPool was flat out immortal completely because Thanos cursed him with immortality so that DeadPool couldn’t see death. Which comes to bite Thanos in the ass because despite how badly Thanos beats the shit out of DeadPool, he can never get rid of him.

Steel was also live-action in Superman and Lois. Played by Wolé Parks.

[@electrobob992]

10:25 It was nice that Black Spider would be voiced by Josh Keaton in the Young Justice series. Which is awesome when you realize... He played Spiderman in Spectacular Spiderman. Even did a parody of the OG Spiderman theme for Black Spider on his youtube channel, as well as some hilarious Spiderman Meme dubs.

[@blazypoo1723]

I was excited when Josh Keaton played the Agent Spider character in Invincible because they couldn’t actually use Spider-Man like the comics did. Shame that nowadays he’s more stuck with spinoff characters as Yuri Lowenthal takes over Spider-Man.

[@bphater31]

But he didn't push blackwidow. She tried to sacrifice herself because Hawkeye still have family to bring back to life. She told him to let go of her hand and push herself of the side of the cliff

1. Steel has appeared in live action, he's on the Superman and Lois show. 2. Sentry and Hyperion are also similar to Superman, the latter being a member of a team that marvel created to purposely mirror the justice league. 3.

There is a huge huge difference between being a knock off copycat versus someone getting inspired by another person’s work work.

[@electrobob992]

5:30 Though when you look at their reasonings, we could see... That if Thanos and Darkseid existed in the same universe... Thanos would probably team up with the heroes, after all his motivation was to make resources last longer to allow the survivors to live. While Darkseid... Just wanted everyone to die.

[@SaintDiaz]

Nahh thanos was a simp for Death. But death was in love with deadpool because deadpool "is the one that got away" (cant die)

[@Norrin777Radd]

No, classically, Darkseid is all about mastery. The "Anti-Life" Equation is not about killing, it is about totally subjugating free will. Darkseid wants to control everything even more totally than he controls Apokolips.

[@somsundarsrimany]

you forgot to mention Batman and Ironman, both are genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Batman also designed a mechanical exoskeleton suit and beaten up superman to pulp (without the arc reactor). They both have endless number of premium cars, Batman has batcomputer, ironman has jarvis, etc. etc.

[@Norrin777Radd]

I always saw Iron Man as a hybrid of Batman and Supes (back in the day, before Bats made an anti-Superman weapons suit), with a few twists. Tony really is the fun-loving rich playboy that Bruce *pretends* to be, and his armor gives him super-powers. I always saw Spidey the same way. Before he gets his powers, Peter really is a glasses-wearing wimp, which Clark only pretends to be. Raised with middle-class values. Gets his powers and they basically make him a faster, super-strong Batman. Uses gadgets, swings from webs instead of rope-lines.

[@umbrellacorp.]

Good video, ya really did your research with the dates and all.😎👍💯

[@RachelKadushin]

Swamp Thing and Man-Thing -- the comic book creators were roommates. While Static (Milestone, later bought out by DC) has many original elements and original enough to be his own hero based on a trope, in personality and actions he's very much a pastiche of Spider-man. Mutated or a Mutate not a Mutant, from a poor family, goes to high school. Very over-powered once he learns how to use his powers, very smart and into science, nerdy, and uses humor when fighting villains.

[@garyvalerio229]

Vision and Martian Man Hunter in a way are the same as well

[@buckybarnes7458]

I can think of Aquaman being inspired by Namor swamp thing being inspired by man thing and Black cat being inspired by Catwoman also Deadpool being extremely similar to deathstroke was joked about in the comics I think he had an argument with sabertooth saying that he was just wolverine as a bad guy and Sabertooth just responded with "Say I to Slade for me"

[@Muicheerio]

[@ihavenoideaatall7381]

The interesting thing about Vision and Red Tornado is that these characters are both reinvented from proto-characters that debuted in Nov. 1940 according to wikipedia. the original Red Tornado is an elderly woman named Ma Hunkel who was a superhero parody and has even been canonized as a version of Red Tornado in DC. If I had a nickel for every time a superhero from Nov. 1940 was reinvented in 1968 as an android with red skin I'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[@ALbkain]

A word of clarification: Vision is not exactly an android. He's more of a synthesoid, there's a subtle difference between the two terms.

[@hadji828]

There is a little more detail to the whole Superman vs Captain Marvel/Shazam vs Mar-Vell/ Captain Marvel than is being told here. For instance, Fawcett comics and National Periodicals (DC) went to court against each other more than once before the matter was settled-- and then it was settled out of court, due mostly to Fawcett running out of money because of court costs and declining sales (the "Shazam" Captain Marvel comics had once outsold the Superman comics but eventually began to slump). Fawcett finally threw in the towel, gave DC a monetary settlement and ceased to publish any more comics with their character. It's also worth mentioning that the "Shazam" Captain Marvel had the ability to fly before Superman did. You can read more about the convoluted legal history of the name "Captain Marvel" on several online sites (e.g., there was another comic book company in the 60s that showcased a character named "Captain Marvel" who was an android with the weird ability to split his body apart and have each section battle the bad guys).
