The Man-Thing and Swamp Thing seem awefully similar not only in name but also origin and abilities. One of these has to be a rip-off of the other. Does anyone have any idea which one came first?
Man-Thing
Character » Man-Thing appears in 849 issues.
Man-Thing is a powerful swamp creature and guardian of the Nexus of all Realities. He was once human and turned himself into a monster as a last act of defense and a way too avoid his serum falling in the wrong hands.
Man-Thing Vs. Swamp Thing
i know thats old.but i made a little search and discovered when they first came.
Man-Thing camein may 1971,Swamp Thing came in july 1971.
that makes Man-Thing a bit older than his DC counter part

True. But that doesn't necessarily mean Swamp Thing is a rip off of Man Thing like the original poster implies.
Beyond being semi-human things that live in the swamp and look scary, they really don't have too much in common. Swamp Thing is a plant elemental (most of the time). Man-Thing's touch burns whatever knows fear. Similar look and names. Different shtick.
man thing cant actually die
now I'm not saying that swamp thing is a rip-off of man-thing (sometimes people actually think up similar things, sometimes around the same time) but man-thing definitly had some part in swamp thing's creation. I mean c'mon marvel comes out with a swamp monster that has thing in it's name and then in that same year dc comes out with a swamp monster with thing in it's name. seriously? I know that they have a lot of differences but they also have a lot of similarities.
@dami24434: And there is nothing Man-thing can do to swamp thing either.
@shadowknight130: man thing can erase him from existence
@shadowknight130: man thing can erase him from existence
No he can't
@shadowknight130: yeah he actually can effortlessly
@shadowknight130: yeah he actually can effortlessly
have you ever read a swampthing comic?
@shadowknight130: yeah I have actually
Have you read a man thing comic
@shadowknight130: yeah I have actually
Have you read a man thing comic
Yes. And there is no way he has the ability to wipe out all of plant life in the entire universe
@shadowknight130: yeah he does and he can do more than that
He can erase swamp out of reality
@shadowknight130: yeah he does and he can do more than that
He can erase swamp out of reality
okay post feats of him doing that or something similar then
@shadowknight130: I can't, it won't let me
You could just go research him thoroughly instead of just saying no to everything
@shadowknight130: I can't, it won't let me
You could just go research him thoroughly instead of just saying no to everything
you are literally saying the same thing but in reverse
@shadowknight130: how am I saying the same thing and that doenst change the fact that swamp thing actually loses
@shadowknight130: how am I saying the same thing and that doenst change the fact that swamp thing actually loses
Because I said swampthing wins and you just say no. you then make a claim and give 0 evidence to support it
I gave you evidence, I already told you I cant post scans but you easily can just find scans for yourself through research
I did the same for swamp thing
I've given you claims and evidence and you're just saying no, you haven't proved anything while i already know what swamp thing can do you don't need to state the same thing over and over again I already know what swamp thing is capable of you guys on the hand don't know the 1st thing about man thing

Okay then here is this. Swamp thing can beat Man-thing in one punch. With your logic this is evidence and I do not need to post scans
@shadowknight130: lol that's not anything I've said, man thing can reality warp and transmutate he's beaten silver surfer, dr strange and even molecule man himself
Swamp thing doenst have anything to combat him plus I already told i cant post them and i haven't seen you posting any scans anyways so that goes both ways
Again if you're so hellbent on denying everything then go do some hardcore research yourself because at the end of the day you could tell a fanboi The facts but if he chooses to ignore and deny and reply no or the same thing over then there's nothing that could be done

again you are doing the same.
@shadowknight130: how am I doing the same, I've given you feats all you've said is no
@shadowknight130: how am I doing the same, I've given you feats all you've said is no
You haven't gave any feats. Saying he can wipe out every single plant in the entire universe and then not giving any evidence to back it up is not evidence.
@shadowknight130: I've only literally gave you feats while you haven't, he's resisted the power of silver surfer amped with a nexus shard and molecule man and beat them and both those characters are universal to either high multiversal so destroying all plant life doesn't even scratch the surface of what he could do
he nearly destroyed all of reality when he rejected the his role as the dreamer and guardian of the nexus of all realities
As the dreamer he views all of reality as fiction and views all of death, life, time and space including existing itself as malleable and a mere dream, as such he isn't limited or confined to it
He even tanked the ultimate nullifier with no damage and energy beams from celestials
Without using his full power he's still on the same lvl as abstracts
