wonder man vs wonder man

Wonderman (top) 1963 (DC) vs Wonderman (bottom) 1939 (FOX) Fight to death. no morals, both at full potential.

Wonderman 1963

Within the story, he appeared on the scene and eventually came to rival Superman, possessing the same powers as he, but not his weaknesses. His popularity surpassed Superman which left him depressed, feeling like a has-been.

It was later revealed that Wonder Man used to be Ajax, one of Superman's duplicate robots that he used for help or hiding his identity. Ajax was kidnapped by the Superman Revenge Squad while in space, who turned him into a real living being while still having his bionic super-powers. The invaders wanted to use him to remove Superman so that he would no longer be in their way for their attack. Wonder Man, not being evil, thwarted their plan with Superman when he learned of their full intentions. After the aliens' defeat, Superman offered Wonder Man (who revealed to him his secret) the chance to fight at his side, but the aliens installed a death-mechanism in him that was triggered to kill him within a week. Wonder Man died, and then laid in a grave which said that he was born a robot, but died a human. This is similar to the first appearance of the Marvel comics Wonder Man.

Powers/Abilities

Wonder-Man was a Superman Robot that possessed the following abilities

  • Flight
  • Super Strength
  • Super Speed
  • Keen Senses

Wonderman 1939

A superhero that was created even BEFORE Superman. Fred Carson is given a magic ring by a yogi that gives him many amazing Powers to fight evil and serve justice. Wonder Man's secret identity is Fred Carson. During an excursion to Tibet, an old monk bestows Carson with a ring that gave him the power to fight evil when the need arose. His powers are almost exactly like those of 1939 Superman

While in Tibet Fred Carson is given a magic ring by a Yogi that gives him many Amazing Powers. He returns to America to Fight Evil and serve justice. Fred works as a radio engineer and inventor.

Creation

Sometimes known as the first " Superman Clone". The character himself was created by Will Eisner and firsts appeared in Wonder Comics #1 published by Fox Feature Syndicate. After his first appearance DC Comics sued Fox Feature Syndicate. DC thought he was to much alike of Superman. While the publisher and even Will Eisner himself claimed in court that Wonder Man was invented before Superman, DC won the case, and Wonder Man was no more. This wiped Wonder Man out of existence to this day.

The top wonderman went toe to toe with 1963 superman. The bottom wonderman was said to be as powerful as superman in his debut.

@BeaverSauce: Why do you insist on making threads involving people that have very little in the way of actual feats?

they both have about as many feats as any movie character, they both have the same number of appearances. It seems interesting to put two amazing forgotten characters against each other. Both have heavy connections to superman and his origins. I for one feel its a shame these characters fell into obscurity. Perhaps sparking conversation about them will reinvigorate their memory

@BeaverSauce: can you scan some them feats???

@a88378438: I couldnt copy 1939 wonderman images but this site has entire comic with all his impressive feats. http://goldenageheroes.blogspot.com/2008/08/not-so-original-wonder-man.html

he stops a speeding plane, he catches a bomb like a baseball and tosses it back in the air, He travels 100s of yards in a single bound, lifts trucks single handedly, and many more, etc....

heres 1963 wonderman

I'm pretty sure no member of this forum is old enough to know these characters. My parents weren't even born when they first appeared.

BTW i like the History lesson and damn DC just cant stand anyone being more popular than SM. First the original Wonderman and then Captain Marvel who is now a weak Supes that has Magic yet Supes is still better. WTF. Superman is such a carefully groom spoonfed poster child that sues the Competition instead of standing on his own Comic sales.  
 
Rant over.

I'm glad some people care enough to know about these forgotten characters. I think both were worth remembering and resurrecting

One guy is made in the silver age as superman's robot with sentience, the other is a golden age dude with golden age powers (although before superman then superman kicked its butt in court)
