I know that you think that every hero and villain created by dc and marvel, are completely original ideas. You might think that all the characters you love are completely unique ideas written by genius writers. most of them indeed are original ideas. But did you know that sometimes they actually like to copy each other? Especially if you have been more attentive, you've certainly noticed that several DC and Marvel characters have many things in common. Thats what this video is about. In this video, I'm bringing you a list of characters that both Marvel and DC copied from each other. And the list is so big that i actually cant include every character in just one video. So if you want a part 2, let me know in the comments.

The Avengers are a copy of the Justice League, first appearing in 1963, three years after the JL debuted in 1960. Jim Starlin's Thanos was "inspired" by Jack Kirby's Darkseid. Kirby was co-creator of the Challengers of the Unknown for DC in 1957, and would go on to copy elements from that team when creating the Fantastic Four for Marvel in 1961.

About Vision, Roy Thomas original plan was to have the Golden Age Vision join the Avengers, but Stan Lee wanted an android hero (no way of knowing if he knew about the Red Tornado) so Roy re-worked his idea, keeping the name. Let's not forget that the original Human Torch was an android who was red when aflame. Neither Marvel nor DC created the concept of androids so saying one character is a copy of the other because they are both androids doesn't make much sense.

Kind of funny but Marvel might not have did Captain Marvel if another company did not create a android Captain Marvel that made Martin Goodman Marvel's then owner upset he didn't want another publisher having a character with Marvel in their name. Also that Captain Marvel was created by Carl Burgos the creator of the original Human Torch who was upset over what was done with the Torch after his copyright lawsuit failed.

I disagree that steel is a copy of iron man. Yes they have similar backstories but thats where the similarities end, Steel is actually inspired by a historic figure named John Henry (There was a short story on netflix about him while ago). Evidence that steel is based on John Henry is 1. his name 2. his weapon of choice, in the story John Henry dug out a mountain with a hammer(steel uses hammer)

The one Crossover/Team up I always wanted to see since childhood was a team up with Dr. Doom and Lex Luthor! That would be interesting! Also, speaking of copycat characters I remember there was a superhero, I'm sure Stan Lee & Jack Kirby didn't copy him on purpose. But there was a Superhero called The Comet, in the 1940's, whom fired eyebeams from his eyes, just as later Cyclops of the X-men could do. And just as with Cyclops, he had to wear a protective visor, to keep his eyebeams under control. I remember it was published by MLJ Comics, which would later publish Archie Comics. I also remember The Comet got killed in his last adventure.

Vision in comics is android type. During a fight, he was captured by Avengers and reprogrammed. Wonderman, husband of Wanda was brain dead and the Avengers transferred all the memories of wonderman to visions body. Captain Marvel is the only hero who appeared both in Marvel and in DC. Captain Marvel's story and conflict in both company are very interesting especially to comic supporters, I wish Marvel started the movie with Captain Mar-vell story line instead of Carol Denvers, which skip the Ms. Marvel storyline.

We'll probably never know the truth behind Vision vs. Red Tornado. Nostalgia reboot was popular at that time in the late 1960s and both characters had namesakes in the Golden Age (although Red Tornado's was hardly a true super hero). It was a pretty big coincidence though that both were rebooted so close together. I'd love to know though about the X-Men vs. Doom Patrol. That seems much more sus.

Mar-Vell is not a copy of Captain Marvel in any way. The only thing the two characters had in common was the name. It's not Marvel's fault that DC and/or Fawcett allowed the copyright on the Name to expire allowing Marvel to take advantage of it.

@13thwho 2 ай бұрын

In a way, Mar-Vell did copy the original Captain Marvel later in his series. When Mar-Vell was trapped in the Negative Zone, teenage Rick Jones used a pair of nega-bands to change places with him, by slamming the bands together over his head ( copying Samson from the 1960s cartoon “Young Samson & Goliath”). There was even a scientist named Dr. Savannah (Sivana?).

All the Stories from DC and Marvel were originally connected together except that they broke away from each other and in court they got a settlement agreement known as to each their own...and this resulted in both Companies losing rights to two main things either one company lost the name I'm usage for that Character...and by this agreement each Company was able to retain to pieces of the Storyline or the character...now the if you got the Character in the settlement the other lost rights to the Name and back and Forth... I'll give you a Good example that not many people get... The Joker and the Green Goblin are the same Character except that because one or the other company lost the rights they had to rewrite the storyline and both companies have been stuck on that... Now Wolverine is supposed to be Batman except that like the Joker in Batman Wolverine is poor and Homeless in X-Men and in reverse the Joker was made poor and Homeless in Superman...😅 This is a real story...now Fox owns X-Men and Spiderman and the Fantastic 4 and any shows you ever seen on Fox like Captain Planet right that's Marvel and those kids from the show use the Madrians POWER RINGS...there's 10 right the Green Lantern has the Green Ring right and he does make an appearance with the doctor strange because you don't realize that Doctor Strange appeared in both DC and Marvel storylines...now Iron Man is supposed to be Disney right Walt Disney himself...and Iron Man and Spiderman meet up...now the WB is DC comics and they been making movies for ever trying to fix their storyline gaps and retrofitting the missing character either by name or appearance...now on DC sides Batman Beyond is their Spiderman... Terry Meguines is Knight Hawks Son and Night Hawk used an Earlier version in the Batman stories... except that Batman disappears and the Show eventually ends right but meanwhile they introduced Night Hawk and eventually Tim Drake ran off to create the Teen Titans and he dies... supposedly at the End of the Teen Titans Tim Drake dies and that's where the story lines meet up with Batman reappearing before Batman Beyond...now Bruce is Hercules...
