    Is he, like, another Spawn recolour? First Nightwatch, now this? 
    Don't get me wrong Prowler is cool, but still a bit of a Spawn re-colour.

    His first appearance was in 1969, i'm inclined to say no.

    No idea in comics is truly original.  It only matters if the idea works in execution, though i'm inclined to agree that spawn takes visible visual clues from Prowler
