this is a list of characters that have been given powers similar if not exactly the same as more famous heros some have made it their own others have become sidekicks or relegated to obscurity remembered only by fanboys and some are blatant ripoffs or parodies
originally a fill in iron man jim rhodes has become a great character in his own right
similar to war machine in that he was kind of a substitute for thor tho they were actually one and the same for a while
another prime example of a character starting as a b rate version who really stepped up
to me this guy will always be the poor man's captain america he's not a bad character he just never really appealed to me
ok this guy is a total rip off in fact he was only created because the guys who created captain america were mad about being left out when the character reemerged in the 50s
top cows version of wolverine
cause even superman can't be everywhere at once
ok lets be honest he's captain marvel, he was created because a uk based company lost the rights to distribute captain marvel comics but its ok cause some really great stories came from this guy
ok he's a ripoff of a sidekick but him growing up to be an evil bastard made up for it
you all knew he'd show up eventually
the ever popular sub category of the substitutes the female version tho she is one of the few to really stay out of the shadow of her male counter part
a double dipper a sub of a sub
a replacement superman
took over for batman after bane crippled him
one of marvel's many superman knock offs but its ok cause he's still awsome
one of 4 replacements for supes after Kal caught a bad case of doomsday stomp
another of the 4 replacements tho he took a bit more of a punisher route
first a replacement then a bad ass evil version of superman
ok so technically he was actually supposed to be the question but he still ended up being one of my personal favorite characters
