today. 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,120 We got characters that were ripped off from each other between Marvel and DC. 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,080 But before we do, like, share, and subscribe to

00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,880 But let's go ahead and get started. 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,360 All right, who ripped off who? 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,280 Who we suing? 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,480 So we have some characters here. 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,040 We have 20 characters that were ripped off from Marvel by other people. 20 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,880 And then we have 15 characters that were ripped off by DC or from DC. 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,080 So some characters that were ripped off from Marvel. 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,400 So basically, it's characters that originated in Marvel. 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,680 Yes, that were ripped off. 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800 That were slightly changed and then added to a different continuity. 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,800 Yes, yes. 26 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,800 Or a different publisher, I guess. 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,340 And I'll preface this. 28 00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:23,560 These are lists made by ScreenRand. 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,200 So this is- Wait, is that exclusively? 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,920 So DC took this character from Marvel or is it from another publisher as well? 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,240 The majority of them are supposedly taken by DC from Marvel. 32 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,560 But there's one or two that are not taken necessarily from DC specifically. 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,760 But they're just characters that were ripped off from Marvel supposedly. 34 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,020 So like I said, these lists are from ScreenRand. 35 00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:51,120 So if there's an issue with it, they're not my list and I did not make these. 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,400 And some of these are stupid. 37 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,600 So I'll mention a numbering system when one of them is horrendous. 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,600 Very much so. 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,480 Copy editors, please, God, find a damn copy editor as big of a company as ScreenRand is. 40 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000 At least learn- It's probably just like one guy in a closet. 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Yeah. 42 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000 That's one guy. 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000 That's what that is. 44 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,600 ScreenRand is one damn- Can you imagine? 45 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Yeah, but okay, with the numbering system, they have automatic numbering systems when 46 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,320 you type anything out with bullet points. 47 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,000 So it's not hard. 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000 Come on. 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,080 Did you say that there's 15, but you start off with number 20. 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,080 Come on. 51 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,960 And then you work your way down to number one by skipping shit. 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,940 But we'll start on the Marvel side first. 53 00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:38,240 So we have number 20. 54 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,040 We have some of these that were pathetic attempts and some that were actually successful. 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,720 So the first one at number 20 was a pathetic attempt. 56 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,960 We have Rocket Red, which is a ripoff of Iron Man. 57 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,960 I was going to say Rocket Red. 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,960 Rocket Red. 59 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Rocket Red. 60 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,480 Oh, I know him. 61 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,480 Okay. 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,760 So while Rocket Red's look may seem original today- 63 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Is that Russian? 64 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Do I know? 65 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,800 No, that's Crimson Rocket from Iron Man. 66 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,800 Yeah. 67 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,800 Never mind. 68 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,960 So while Rocket Red's look may seem original today, his entire design is essentially the 69 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,760 splitting image of the original classic Iron Man suit. 70 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,480 Rocket Red's alter ego's character wasn't entirely similar to Tony Stark as the role 71 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,060 of a billionaire funding the super team was already taken by Bruce Wayne. 72 00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:29,560 But the powers and abilities were almost exactly the same as his Marvel counterpart. 73 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Rocket Red's first appearance in DC comic was in 1987, 24 years after Iron Man's debut 74 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,280 in 1963. 75 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,280 Damn, is that old? 76 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Yeah. 77 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,280 63. 78 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,320 Again, this is written by Screen Rant. 79 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,480 So understandably, the character of Red Rocket- Red Rocket. 80 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,480 Red Rocket. 81 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Oh, what is it? 82 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,480 Red Rocket, Red Rocket. 83 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Send somebody- What is it? 84 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,280 Every time you say Red Rocket, I think of that South Park episode. 85 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,760 Where he's jacking off the dog? 86 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,760 Yeah. 87 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960 That's why I never like to say the name. 88 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,000 Red Rocket. 89 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Okay. 90 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,880 So they put, understandably, the character of Rocket Red really didn't take off as well 91 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,840 as DC hoped with their readers. 92 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,120 While the character did last, he was mostly only a minor member of the Justice League. 93 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,240 The writers did try at numerous points to make his character more interesting, hoping 94 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,720 readers would like him as much as they liked Marvel's Iron Man, but no attempts managed 95 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,720 to last. 96 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,000 They should have made him a crippling alcoholic. 97 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000 I know. 98 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000 That wouldn't have helped. 99 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Then he would have been Tony Stark. 100 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000 Yeah. 101 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Ours isn't Tony Stark, because he's a heroin addict. 102 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,000 All right. 103 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,360 At number 19, we have one that actually worked. 104 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,360 Aquaman. 105 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Aquaman is a ripoff of Namor. 106 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,480 Oh, is he? 107 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,920 Or Namor. 108 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,160 The first comic book Atlantean King was actually Marvel's Namor, who appeared in- 109 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,520 He also accused of horrendous acts recently? 110 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,920 Man, I swear. 111 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,640 Come on, guys. 112 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,640 Keep yourselves, come on. 113 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,280 Keep it in your pants. 114 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,360 Namor appeared in 1939, whereas DC didn't create Aquaman until 1941. 115 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,800 It's a few years later. 116 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Wait, Namor was that old? 117 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,360 Yeah, 1939. 118 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,360 Shit. 119 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,640 Same year, one year after Superman. 120 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,280 Aquaman appeared, has become more successful than his Marvel counterpart. 121 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:26,080 Damn, look at Jason Moe with all that fucking hair. 122 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,960 I'm not a gay man, but I'm also not blind. 123 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,520 Becoming a main member of the Justice League, whereas Namor was not as popular for Marvel, 124 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,720 and thus became a character who secluded himself in Atlantis. 125 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,520 To this day, the only one of the two to appear in a live action movie is Aquaman. 126 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Well, to this day. 127 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Before the- 128 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,840 Yes, before the Black Panther 2. 129 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:48,080 Yeah. 130 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Who appeared in Batman v Superman and Justice League, while there was an Easter egg hinting 131 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,840 at Namor in Iron Man 2. 132 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,320 They're saying that he hasn't appeared yet, but we know that he has at this point. 133 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,760 But Aquaman is still way more recognizable than Namor. 134 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,880 He's a taste of Mamoa. 135 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,480 Even before that, he's been parodied, he's been made fun of. 136 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Everybody knows who Aquaman is. 137 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,840 He's always been the one getting the shit list. 138 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,160 But the sad thing is, in the comic books, when you actually look at his powers and abilities, 139 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,560 he's one of the most powerful characters there are. 140 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:30,280 I saw him flip a truck once, in a full car, in one of the issue 111 of Justice League 141 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,280 of America. 142 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:39,920 He's just fucking, he's got the motion where his hands are up in a tossed motion, and there's 143 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,560 just a fucking car flying about to hit one of the other, they were fighting that group 144 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,960 that had the counter opposite of the JLA. 145 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,320 The Injustice Society? 146 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,320 Is that it? 147 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560 That weird Superman that had made it powerful by Crotonian? 148 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560 Like Ultraman, I think it was. 149 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,560 Yeah, that group. 150 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,560 And fucking the Flash is a heroine. 151 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,560 I don't know what the fuck it was, Speed? 152 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,160 He's addicted to literal speed. 153 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,040 Then you had Owlman. 154 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,880 Which is weird, Owlman was, they never really, it wasn't until The Court of Owls, when you 155 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,680 knew that owls were the natural predator of bats. 156 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920 But that writer apparently did, because he made Owlman. 157 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,080 Give that man some credit. 158 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,600 He deserved a little bit of credit. 159 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,080 Or a woman, if she wrote it, give that person some credit. 160 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,720 I mean, if we're being honest here, it was a dude. 161 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,080 Give that man some credit. 162 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840 So Aquaman was one that actually worked out. 163 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,280 Then we go into what they consider another pathetic attempt was Empyreax. 164 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Empyreax? 165 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Mhm, Empyreax. 166 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,120 Oh, it's supposed to be a playoff of Galactus? 167 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Yeah. 168 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,000 He's supposedly a ripoff of Galactus. 169 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,080 He makes planets, he doesn't eat them. 170 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,040 So their description is Galactus has been one of the most prominent villains in the 171 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Marvel comic books. 172 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Oh, wait till he hits the MCU, damn. 173 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,320 He still hasn't been in it, has he? 174 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,520 Hell nah, that's too big of a character. 175 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,440 And he would have to be a celestial within that universe. 176 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,040 Well, he's killed celestials in the comics. 177 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,760 Well, he must have killed them. 178 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,440 I mean, they're going to say he killed the guy that was nowhere. 179 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,040 Well, didn't they have Eternity in the latest Thor, Love and Thunder? 180 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,040 Eternity? 181 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,040 I don't remember. 182 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Yeah, Eternity is... 183 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Haven't seen it yet. 184 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,280 I want to see Chris Hemsworth's gorgeous ass. 185 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,280 Love and Thunder. 186 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,280 That's a tag line they should have used. 187 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,880 That one got women out to it? 188 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,880 The enormous cosmic entity vows to destroy each world he comes across and has been one 189 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,160 of the biggest threats for both the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. 190 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,600 It took DC around 34 years to realize how great of a character Galactus was for Marvel 191 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,240 comics before they decided to make their own version of the cosmic villain. 192 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,240 Their solution? 193 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,240 Imperiax. 194 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,280 Imperiax was almost identical to Galactus in his size, abilities, aspirations. 195 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:05,080 And he at first appeared as a Superman villain before becoming the lead villain in the crossover 196 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,520 arc Our Worlds at War. 197 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,560 While he was a powerful foe for the DC heroes, he just wasn't as interesting as most readers 198 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:17,480 had already seen the same story countless times from Marvel. 199 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,320 This was the one villain they really didn't manage to take off for DC. 200 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,680 Well they tried. 201 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:24,680 But just the... 202 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:26,480 You can tell that this person loves Marvel. 203 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,880 Or at least Galactus. 204 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,000 Yeah. 205 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,720 Then we have one that actually worked. 206 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,720 Number 17. 207 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,720 Doomsday. 208 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,720 They're saying that Doomsday is a ripoff of the Hulk. 209 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,520 I don't really see how. 210 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Oh, Doomsday. 211 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,320 For some reason in my head I was like, Dr. Doom? 212 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,320 Dr. Doom. 213 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,320 He's nothing like the Incredible Hulk. 214 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,320 That's the same company. 215 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,320 Doomsday. 216 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,840 So they're saying Doomsday is a ripoff of the Hulk. 217 00:09:53,840 --> 00:10:00,000 They put... before going far into this example, it should be noted that the Hulk himself was 218 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,440 originally a ripoff of a DC character. 219 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,440 Solomon Grundy. 220 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,440 Born on a Monday? 221 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,440 Uh huh. 222 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,080 I will always say the next part. 223 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,280 If you go back and watch our videos, I will always say... 224 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,280 Born on a Monday? 225 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Anytime you bring them up, I swear. 226 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,360 You look them up, I swear. 227 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:26,800 That being said, 30 years after Marvel created the Hulk, DC ripped off their own ripoff character 228 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:27,920 from their... 229 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,360 So they ripped off a character that had ripped off their character. 230 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,240 We ripped off your ripoff, you ripoffs. 231 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,960 With the creation of the supervillain Doomsday. 232 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,160 Doomsday was a lab experiment gone wrong in an attempt to create a more perfect and vulnerable 233 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,040 human, much like Hulk's origin. 234 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,840 I don't think that was Hulk's origin. 235 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,040 No, what do you mean, an accident? 236 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,640 That one kid was like, oh, we're going to go up there. 237 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,240 It was a gamma radiation accident. 238 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,120 Yeah, man, it blew his dick off too. 239 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040 I'll never tell you that part. 240 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,760 Also like Hulk, Doomsday grows stronger the more he fights. 241 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:05,240 And again, whoever wrote this from Screen Rant, that is not actually true. 242 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:12,440 But Doomsday cannot be killed the same way twice, is what my understanding is. 243 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,160 So if I can kill him one time, will he come back? 244 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,160 Yeah, he comes back each time. 245 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,880 What if I throw him in the sun? 246 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,000 And he can't be killed by... 247 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,480 And I just left him in the center forever. 248 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,480 But then he'd be super... 249 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,480 Checkmate, you son of a bitch. 250 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Then he'd be Superman and come back 15,000 years later. 251 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,360 And then bang Lois Lane. 252 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,040 The only difference here is that Doomsday grows stronger by adapting and evolving. 253 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,040 That part I know about. 254 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,040 Yeah. 255 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,040 The adaptation. 256 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,040 Yeah. 257 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,600 Whereas Hulk grows stronger from increasing anger. 258 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160 You can only get so angry. 259 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,960 Even the color of Doomsday is reminiscent of Hulk, since Hulk's original skin tone was 260 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,960 gray. 261 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600 That's because they couldn't afford green or some shit, if I remember. 262 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,200 Well DC did change quite a bit of Doomsday, mostly by making him a villain rather than 263 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,600 a hero. 264 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,040 That's enough evidence to show that the DC antagonist was at least inspired by Marvel's 265 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160 green giant. 266 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,640 So like I said, this person loves Marvel. 267 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,560 That is a bit of a stretch to say that Doomsday was only modeled after Hulk. 268 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:16,120 To me, he would have been more modeled after Abomination from Marvel. 269 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,960 If you're going to do a direct comparison here, it would have been Abomination, not 270 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,960 the Hulk. 271 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,680 Out of all of them, no. 272 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:29,160 The next one they consider a pathetic attempt. 273 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,160 Number 16, Guardian. 274 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,600 Guardian, they're saying, is a ripoff. 275 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,600 That's Captain America. 276 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,160 Guardian, the guy with the shield? 277 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,160 Yeah. 278 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,160 Not a peacemaker or a peacekeeper? 279 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,160 No. 280 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,160 No, the guy with the yellow shield. 281 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,160 Yeah. 282 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,040 There have been numerous ripoffs of Marvel's patriotic super soldier, but the most notable 283 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,040 of them... 284 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,000 They ripped off Captain America, that's Superman. 285 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,840 They went to the future and then they saw Captain America and then they went back in 286 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,840 time and they made Superman. 287 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,840 Exactly. 288 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,680 Captain America is the original superhero. 289 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,200 All righty. 290 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000 But the most notable of them was DC's Guardian. 291 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,680 Guardian made his first appearance in 1942, just one year after Captain America. 292 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:11,960 So he's been around for a long ass time. 293 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,960 He has to be. 294 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,320 I mean, it's a shield. 295 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,320 It's pretty much... 296 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,520 I could see it. 297 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,520 It's hard not to. 298 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Like, one year after, but I didn't even realize that Guardian was that old. 299 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,200 I don't know if that would have been a character. 300 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,680 The only time that I really remember Guardian from was during the whole Death of Superman 301 00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:29,680 thing. 302 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:31,840 When he was like, I gotta fight crime now. 303 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:38,440 With Cadmus, the company that was making clones and shit. 304 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,240 The biggest difference between the two characters is that Guardian originally had no abilities 305 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,040 besides his indestructible shield, whereas Captain America had super strength. 306 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,240 I thought he was just like a peak physical or some shit. 307 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,240 Apparently not. 308 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,480 Like in the original, he was like peak human. 309 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,480 That's what I mean. 310 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,480 Peak human. 311 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,480 And not now. 312 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,040 He could bench press the very limits of human potential. 313 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,320 But then in the MCU, he could bench press a fucking Ford truck. 314 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,960 So then when the...no, not MCU, Ultimate Universe. 315 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,760 In the comic books. 316 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,480 So they took the Ultimate Universe version, which was a buffer version of the original, 317 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,480 and then they made that for the MCU. 318 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,640 That's why that country record is so fucking strong. 319 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,560 It can jump out of a helicopter or a plane going over. 320 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,560 It can hold a helicopter? 321 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,740 Can't take a bullet shot though. 322 00:14:29,740 --> 00:14:34,600 Just like the Prize Comics Fighting American, Guardian was also created by Captain America 323 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,520 creators Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. 324 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,520 That little fucker didn't even need to go. 325 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,520 Ah, fuck it. 326 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,520 He just made another one. 327 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,520 Exactly. 328 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,160 Simon and Kirby realized the formula of Captain America worked well and supposedly decided 329 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,880 to try him on a numerous different platforms. 330 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,720 Of course, none of them worked as well as the original Captain America, who is still 331 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,240 one of Marvel's most popular heroes to this day. 332 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,120 Can't beat the original sometimes. 333 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,880 It would seem Guardian and Fighting American failed to live up to the original. 334 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,600 Damn you, Guardian. 335 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,320 Now number 15, we got another one that actually worked. 336 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,320 Lobo. 337 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,120 A ripoff of Wolverine. 338 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,120 He was? 339 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,640 According to the screener. 340 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,640 What did they rip off? 341 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,640 His anti-hero attitude? 342 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Or regeneration maybe? 343 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,960 Maybe, but I mean that's a huge jump. 344 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,960 That's a huge jump. 345 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,960 Yeah. 346 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960 Lobo was DC's answer to Wolverine. 347 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:23,960 Like you took a hit of cocaine. 348 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,960 It was like, here we go. 349 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,960 We take Wolverine, we put him in space, make him an alien fucking, got bikes, got motorcycles, 350 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,400 he fucking overdosed, that's the only way I can see it. 351 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,680 Like I like Wolverine, if he gets hit with cocaine, give him white skin. 352 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,680 Change everything. 353 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,680 He's not even in a braidspace, he can just fly. 354 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080 He's got a motorcycle though. 355 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,840 So they put Lobo was DC's answer to Wolverine, but they were not focused on his abilities. 356 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,800 Instead, Lobo was almost identical to Logan in personality. 357 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,440 Being a gritty mercenary who was rather sick of life. 358 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Hey, Bob. 359 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,440 His first appearance in DC comics as a villain in the eighties, but unfortunately he did 360 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,680 not take well with the readers. 361 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:12,480 In the nineties, the writers at DC revamped logo, the logo, Lobo, making him an anti-hero 362 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,040 who parodied, he was a parody of some of Marvel's grittiest characters and stories with most 363 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,360 of the focus being on parodying Wolverine. 364 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:28,440 Lobo has become somewhat of a fan favorite among DC fans being one of their darkest characters 365 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,440 to date. 366 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,440 He was until they made him into a twink. 367 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,440 Yeah. 368 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,440 You remember that? 369 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,520 Say, Hey ladies, you like what you see? 370 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,920 While he hasn't appeared in any live action movies just yet, rumor has it that Warner 371 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,720 Brothers and DC are finally planning to give the anti-hero his own movie with Michael Bay 372 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,920 being eyed to direct. 373 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,320 No, no. 374 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,600 If you want to see a box office bomb, go see a Michael Bay movie. 375 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,600 Like the new transformers. 376 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,240 Robots in disguise. 377 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,240 Then we have number 14, another pathetic attempt. 378 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,840 We have one called the Fighting American. 379 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,680 The rip off of Captain America. 380 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,440 He looks like Captain America. 381 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,600 When you hear the name Captain America, it's likely that you would think of a patriotic 382 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,360 superhero who fights for truth and justice. 383 00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:29,160 And we're talking about Captain America punching Adolf Hitler in that comic book color. 384 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,240 And whose arch nemesis is a skull faced villain. 385 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,640 However, Captain America is not the only character who fits the description of this. 386 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,280 Prize Comics created an almost identical hero to Captain America during the 1950s. 387 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,280 Prize Comics? 388 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,280 Not DC this time. 389 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,680 Yeah, I hear that. 390 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,640 Not only was the primary villain almost identical to Captain America's villain Red Skull. 391 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,360 His name is Roger Steve. 392 00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,240 Only with a darker colored skull. 393 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,240 So he's still a skull. 394 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,240 Wow. 395 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,240 So it's just a dark. 396 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,640 Yours is bright red. 397 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,800 Ours is dark red. 398 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,200 But his sidekick was oddly familiar as well. 399 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,880 Almost exactly like Bucky Barnes. 400 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,280 They call him Buffy Barnes. 401 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,400 The story behind this character is actually rather interesting. 402 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,880 During the 1950s, there was a brief period in time when Marvel writers, Joe Simon and 403 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,560 Jack Kirby jumped ship from Marvel and started writing comics for Prize Comics. 404 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,680 Jesus Christ, they're just trying to throw Captain America and everything. 405 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,840 Considering that they were the creators of Captain America, it is understandable that 406 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,160 they'd pick up where they left off, but only changing the names. 407 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,160 Jesus. 408 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,680 Then we got another one that actually worked here. 409 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,680 Bane. 410 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,920 They're saying Bane is a ripoff of Nuke and Crossbones. 411 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,680 DC created the Batman villain Bane in the early 1990s. 412 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,280 I didn't realize it was that late. 413 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,280 Yeah, it was. 414 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,480 He was just originally created just to break Batman's back. 415 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,360 Like, I shit you not. 416 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,360 I think he was. 417 00:18:56,360 --> 00:19:00,320 They just invented him just to break his back and then dip out. 418 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320 And then he became his own. 419 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,320 That's the worst thing. 420 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,320 He broke his back, right? 421 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,320 Yeah. 422 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,320 100% defeated. 423 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,320 Pissed on his face and left. 424 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,320 He didn't even kill him. 425 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,320 No, it's just to break his back. 426 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,320 Like, I'm dumb bitch. 427 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,320 You son of a bitch, my back. 428 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,320 I'll never forget this. 429 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,960 You imagine Batman talking shit as he laid out. 430 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,960 You fucking stupid son of a bitch, come back and fight me. 431 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:28,960 I got a story to tell you later about something like that thing that I've seen in real life. 432 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,360 In real life? 433 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:31,360 My God. 434 00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:37,920 I saw this like real like, we call them BBWs. 435 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,440 Yeah, big beautiful women. 436 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,680 She was a big girl. 437 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,160 And she just there was this big fucking jock, right? 438 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,160 With a fuck one of those. 439 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,680 He like he was a Chad for sure. 440 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:55,360 He had the fucking leather, like the nice skinny jeans, a fucking collar shirt all tucked 441 00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,360 up. 442 00:19:56,360 --> 00:20:00,600 She fucking grabbed him and flung him and dropped him to the floor. 443 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,440 And then when he tried to get up, right, she pushed him to the ground with so much like 444 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,320 she had that kind of like power. 445 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,760 And you could see just see the emasculation on his face. 446 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,280 No, he tried to get up again. 447 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,000 And she slammed him into a fucking table and chairs. 448 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 He didn't get up the whole time. 449 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,920 I don't know what he said to her, but she beat his ass. 450 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,080 That's why you gotta at least know that you can win. 451 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,720 You gotta talk shit at least know you can win. 452 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,720 I was fully right to my side. 453 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,760 Why did I come up with why did I say that story? 454 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,440 Oh, yeah, because Bane being all buff and all you had a similar story. 455 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,440 Yeah. 456 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,880 I also have a Bane story of a chick beating this dude's ass. 457 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,600 Surprisingly, her titties didn't fly out of his shirt, which is a pretty much like a first 458 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,040 guarantee in these type of fights. 459 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,720 That was a quite the hefty brocci head on. 460 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,040 Then move once as she was manhandling and then all the other guys are laughing around 461 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,040 him. 462 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,040 He's like, help me play. 463 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,040 Say, no, you did this to yourself. 464 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,240 You got to accept this ass woman. 465 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,040 And her friend was beating up his friend in the background. 466 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,960 I'm like, God, this woman just beat me. 467 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,000 You guys say that again. 468 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,400 If you're going to start a fight, no, you can win. 469 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,200 What they tell her you should get a salad and just beat the hell out of them. 470 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,200 Probably. 471 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,200 That's offensive. 472 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,200 It would be just let me eat whatever they want. 473 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,000 It's got a deeper voice than he does. 474 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,400 He's a little bitch. 475 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,480 She picked up a broken back. 476 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,400 I guarantee that's how Bruce Wayne felt. 477 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,200 You big son of a bitch. 478 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,200 He's stupid mother. 479 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,200 All right. 480 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,760 Well, it's unclear which of the two characters Bane is based off of most. 481 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,080 There is plenty of evidence to claim that Bane is a rip off of both Marvel villains. 482 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,740 His abilities and origins are similar to Nuke while he is made in a lab using chemicals 483 00:22:01,740 --> 00:22:04,480 and drugs like steroids to boost his own strength. 484 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Crossbones, on the other hand, has similar abilities to both Nuke and Bane, but his mask 485 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,400 design is almost identical to that of Nuke. 486 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,160 Oh yeah, it kind of is. 487 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,080 It's safe to say that of the three characters, Bane has been the most successful. 488 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Yeah. 489 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,440 Bane has had two live action iterations over the years, whereas Nuke has appeared as a 490 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:30,400 minor villain in both seasons of Jessica Jones and Crossbones was also a minor villain later 491 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,880 in the Captain America movies. 492 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,080 He was a horrendously minor villain. 493 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,080 Yeah. 494 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,360 And number 12, we have another pathetic attempt, which was Ripclaw. 495 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:41,600 Ripclaw is a rip off of Wolverine. 496 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,800 It's probably, huh, I wonder who. 497 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,200 And this is not by DC either. 498 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,000 So they're not that fucking. 499 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000 They're not that stupid. 500 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,400 Yeah, if anything, it's not that fucking dumb. 501 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:59,520 The fact that Ripclaw sounds like a rip off may or may not be a coincidence. 502 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,160 Image Comics first created Ripclaw in 1992. 503 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,160 Damn bastards. 504 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,600 His similarities to Wolverine are uncanny. 505 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,280 Not only does he have razor sharp claws like Wolverine, but he has also a he was also in 506 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:18,880 a government lab as an experiment and has some angry issues as well as a healing factor. 507 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,640 The only real difference between the two characters is he's smooth as a baby while Wolverine is 508 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,600 hairy as a fucking monkey. 509 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:33,120 His only difference is that Ripclaw has a Native American background given to him that 510 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:36,240 allows him to link with the spirit world. 511 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,240 Take that away. 512 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,400 And Ripclaw is essentially Wolverine with the group that old rock group Kiss make up 513 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,400 on. 514 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,400 That what he wears? 515 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,400 Like just white. 516 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,400 Jesus. 517 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,600 So, yeah, yeah. 518 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:57,600 It's very likely that Image was just trying to ride off of the success of the TV series 519 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,840 when they created their new character, hoping that they would attract X-Men fans to read 520 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,840 their comics. 521 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,120 In the middle, they sold a million copies of Ripclaw. 522 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:06,120 Probably. 523 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:07,120 Probably not. 524 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:11,720 Number 11, we have another one that actually worked, which was Swamp Thing. 525 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,560 They're saying that Swamp Thing is a rip off of Man Thing. 526 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:21,640 Both of the Swamp Sang. 527 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,860 Man's Hong is what I hear in my head. 528 00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:30,840 First off, the actual origins of these characters is as murky and unknown as the swamps that 529 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,840 they live in. 530 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,640 DC's Swamp Thing and Marvel's Man Thing. 531 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,640 They don't know how they were made? 532 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,640 What do you mean? 533 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,640 You guys don't have archive footage? 534 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,640 Right. 535 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,640 The footage? 536 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,640 Not footage. 537 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,640 You got that big foot footage you can't have? 538 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,640 Like archival files and paperwork of ideas written down? 539 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,640 I guess not. 540 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,680 They wrote it down on a fucking mirror of cocaine? 541 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,680 Probably. 542 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,400 I just assume everybody in the 80s and 90s was storing cocaine when they made these comics. 543 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,840 Well, this is the 70s. 544 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480 70s cocaine weed. 545 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,400 Every time, it's so fucked up in my head, but I just imagine them storing mountains 546 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,000 of cocaine and writing like 55 stories. 547 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,840 Stan Lee would just fucking churn them out. 548 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,280 Like boom, boom, boom, boom. 549 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,960 And then fucking Jack Cartman was drawing like a madman. 550 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:29,560 They had to be just the two of them. 551 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,280 To me, that's so fucking incredible. 552 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:38,080 They would just write stories and draw them like 18 stories a fucking month. 553 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,400 And I was like, man, I can't write two sentences. 554 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,400 Maybe I need cocaine. 555 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,400 You need the magic white powder? 556 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,600 If we had magic white powder, I'd be writing like Stephen King. 557 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,320 Minus the gang bang. 558 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,840 DC's swamp thing and Marvel's man thing were created... 559 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840 Stop saying it. 560 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,840 I can't help it. 561 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,560 I have a child, sir. 562 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,520 For each created and published within a month of each other. 563 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,520 Oh shit. 564 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,520 That's like, wow, that's... 565 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,520 Wait, that's... 566 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,520 What the fuck? 567 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,520 How? 568 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,520 One month of each other. 569 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,520 Yeah. 570 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,520 That can't be possible then. 571 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,520 I don't know if it was... 572 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,520 I couldn't even... 573 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,520 It had to be a coincidence. 574 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:31,240 It says, well, man thing didn't release first. 575 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,120 You got that man thing. 576 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:34,120 Well, it released first. 577 00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,080 You make my heart sing. 578 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,400 There is not enough evidence to determine which idea was created originally. 579 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,160 While most people assume that swamp thing was a ripoff, the numerous heads of DC over 580 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,960 the years avidly deny these claims saying that it's just a coincidence. 581 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,520 Yeah, there has to be like... 582 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,680 Because they wouldn't know it would be a success in a month, so they wouldn't copy it. 583 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,840 And it would be a stupid thing to copy. 584 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:06,160 Both Marvel and DC's characters have been very successful since their creation in 1971. 585 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,880 It's safe to say that neither of them have surpassed each other though. 586 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:15,880 Both of them have received their own movies, with swamp thing releasing a movie in 1982 587 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,880 and man thing in 2005. 588 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,880 Was it a porno? 589 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,880 Probably. 590 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:24,600 The next one we have, number 10, another pathetic attempt. 591 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,600 We have a character called Bumblebee, which is a ripoff. 592 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,600 Transformer? 593 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,320 No, which is a ripoff of Wasp. 594 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,720 Oh, it does look like a Wasp. 595 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,720 Oh wait, Bumblebees. 596 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,120 Yeah, I know Bumblebee from Teen Titans. 597 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:44,880 In terms of winged, bug-like female superheroes that dress in yellow and black, Marvel's Wasp 598 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,580 is undoubtedly the most familiar. 599 00:27:47,580 --> 00:27:52,980 She was one of the founding members of the Avengers and will co-star in the, she co-starred 600 00:27:52,980 --> 00:27:58,120 in Ant-Man and the Wasp, following her supporting role in Ant-Man. 601 00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:04,280 On the other side of the table, DC's Bumblebee was not met with nearly as much success, becoming 602 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,960 not much more than a minor member of the Teen Titans. 603 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,600 Wasp was created in 1963, whereas Bumblebee wasn't created until 1974. 604 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,520 While the height of Bumblebee's run was in the Teen Titans animated series, there was 605 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:23,160 a chance that we may finally see a live action version in the superhero movie, of her in 606 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,440 a superhero movie, the Teen Titans series, that show that came out. 607 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,440 Yeah. 608 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,440 Was she ever in it? 609 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,440 I don't think so. 610 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,440 I don't think so either. 611 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,040 I think it's already wrapped up too. 612 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,040 The show's already over. 613 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,960 Yeah, so I don't know. 614 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,720 There's a character nine, one that actually worked, which was Blue Beetle, and they're 615 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,320 saying that this is a ripoff of Spider-Man. 616 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,320 Every bug said you'd rip off that. 617 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,320 Right. 618 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,520 I don't under, this is like one that I thought was just stupid. 619 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,120 It says, the history of the character Blue Beetle. 620 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,120 It would have been matters, but it's actually a spider. 621 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,120 Right. 622 00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,560 The art of the man, Spider. 623 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,360 That would have been a ripoff of Blue Beetle? 624 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,040 Not even the same bug. 625 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,440 The Blue Beetle didn't even have the same kind of abilities as Spider-Man. 626 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,520 It wasn't, yeah, like it's the regular dude. 627 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,520 Yeah, he was. 628 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,280 It was the alien one. 629 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,000 Yeah, like he was, it was all. 630 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Like Ted Korg. 631 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,800 Yeah, he was just like smart and everything. 632 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,400 He created stuff, kind of like Batman. 633 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,720 He's more of a Batman ripoff than he was Spider-Man. 634 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,960 The history of the character Blue Beetle is complex as the original incarnation of the 635 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,240 character was first made by Fox Comics in 1939. 636 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,240 Remember that. 637 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,040 However, the character has, was sold a number of times after that. 638 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,040 Sold? 639 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,840 Passing those four men around? 640 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,760 Only being purchased by DC in the early eighties. 641 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,800 While the original versions of Blue Beetle were not very similar to Spider-Man, who was 642 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:51,520 created in 1962, the DC version of the character was strikingly similar to Marvel's web slinger. 643 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,960 Not only were they both bug like heroes. 644 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,000 That's like, okay, that how's that? 645 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,320 That doesn't really. 646 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,600 But the backstory and characteristics of DC's Blue Beetle. 647 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,440 Did Uncle Ben also die? 648 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,440 Right. 649 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,760 Are very similar to Peter Parker. 650 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,600 While Blue Beetle never got close to the success of Spider-Man, he still became a very popular 651 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,600 character for DC and is still, he still is to this day. 652 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,480 Okay, but I don't understand how the backstories are even close. 653 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,000 Like Blue Beetle's character was rich. 654 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000 Yeah. 655 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,840 Spider, Peter Parker's poor as fuck. 656 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,840 He's always broke. 657 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,840 Always. 658 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,840 Look, what's his name? 659 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,840 He got no growth. 660 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,840 Like he can't afford condoms and he got time for babies. 661 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:40,720 Another pathetic attempt of a ripoff, we have Leonard the Duck. 662 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,720 From Howard? 663 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:42,720 Yes. 664 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,720 Jesus. 665 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:49,280 Leonard the Duck was a character created, was a character who appeared in Eclipse Comics, 666 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,000 Destroyer Duck Comics. 667 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Destroyer Duck. 668 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,600 Which was written by former Marvel writer, Steve Gerber, with the help of Jack Kirby. 669 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,280 Ah, Jack Kirby, that man myth legend. 670 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,720 Gerber created the character Howard the Duck. 671 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,160 So he created both. 672 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,160 So what is their obsession with taking a character they created once and then trying to make 673 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,440 it the same formula in a different place? 674 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,400 I actually have a reason for this. 675 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:19,360 It says he created Howard the Duck six years prior to creating Leonard the Duck. 676 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,840 While working for Marvel, Gerber didn't try to rely on being subtle when creating Leonard 677 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:30,520 the Duck, making him completely identical to Howard in appearance and characteristics. 678 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,920 At the time, Gerber was in a legal fight with Marvel for the rights and ownership of Howard 679 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,440 the Duck. 680 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,160 So he was trying to have rights to everything. 681 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,680 Don't create an original character in an established property because they will keep it. 682 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,920 Exactly, but apparently this was one of his favorite creations. 683 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,360 Well, he should have created it. 684 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,360 Always self-published. 685 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,360 Yes. 686 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,520 If you love something that much, so you're the only one that owns it. 687 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,760 It was likely that Gerber originally intended to use Howard in Destroyer Duck, but due to 688 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,880 the legal issues was unable to use it in that publication. 689 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,320 Howard the Duck went on to have his own live action movie and appeared in both Guardians 690 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,720 of the Galaxy movies, while Leonard the Duck went on to have a very short-lived career. 691 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,760 He had a sex scene in that Howard the Duck movie. 692 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,640 Even the covers for Howard the Duck versus Leonard the Duck. 693 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,640 He was legit upset. 694 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,640 He copied identically. 695 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,880 He was mad as fuck. 696 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:32,080 Leonard the Duck has a silhouette in the picture of Wolverine instead of just a person with 697 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,400 a sword. 698 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,400 So yeah, he was... 699 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,400 Fucking livid. 700 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,400 Yep. 701 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,840 We have another one that actually worked. 702 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,680 They're saying Killer Croc is a ripoff of Lizard. 703 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,040 The Lizard was first created as a Spider-Man villain in 1963. 704 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,640 He was a scientist who turned into a larger reptilian monster that posed a threat to Spider-Man 705 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:57,440 on a number of occasions, even appearing as a main villain in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. 706 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,520 Damn, I love that movie. 707 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,360 In 1983, DC followed suit by creating the Batman villain Killer Croc. 708 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,600 Like the Lizard, Killer Croc was also a human who became a large reptilian monster posing 709 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,400 a threat for one of the... 710 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,400 Who became? 711 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,200 Was he just a large reptilian monster? 712 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,200 Yeah. 713 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,200 Or he's mutated over time? 714 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360 I guess so, yeah. 715 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,360 Over the years, Killer Croc has arguably surpassed the Lizard, becoming one of the most famous 716 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,080 Batman villains in the comics. 717 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:30,180 On top of that, the makeup done on Killer Croc and Suicide Squad played a major part 718 00:33:30,180 --> 00:33:34,120 in winning the movie the Academy Award for Best Makeup in 2017. 719 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,120 That movie was ass. 720 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,120 Yes, it was. 721 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,360 I don't give a damn what awards you give it. 722 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,320 This is quite the achievement for a ripoff character. 723 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,000 Then we have another one that I find just... 724 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Okay. 725 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000 Marvel. 726 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,000 Marvel. 727 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,800 You do not own the name Thor. 728 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,680 I'm sorry, but you don't. 729 00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:00,560 Thor is a god that has existed for thousands of years at this point, I believe. 730 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,880 You don't own Norse mythology. 731 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,240 I'm sorry, but you don't. 732 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,920 Imagine at the end, at the bottom of our fucking video, right? 733 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:11,920 There's a comment from our... 734 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,920 We'll be hearing from our lawyers. 735 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,800 That'd be funny. 736 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,300 So they have number six, a pathetic attempt. 737 00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:26,720 The almighty Thor, they're saying is a ripoff of Thor from Marvel Comics. 738 00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:32,760 So they put, comics haven't been the only things ripped off from Marvel. 739 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,920 The movies have as well. 740 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:40,040 One of the most notable attempts to rip off a Marvel movie has been Sci-Fi's Almighty 741 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:46,920 Thor, which aired May 7th of 2011, just one day after the US release of the live action 742 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,080 Thor. 743 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:53,200 The plot follows a young Thor who teams up with a Valkyrie to defeat Loki, who has taken 744 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,360 the hammer of invincibility and ended the life of Thor's father. 745 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,360 You bastard. 746 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,320 Both the reviews and reception to Almighty Thor were atrocious. 747 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,320 I imagine so. 748 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,280 As the movie was indisputably horribly made. 749 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,680 The fight and death scenes were all horrible and the acting and effects were arguably even 750 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,860 worse. 751 00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:14,360 The movie wasn't nearly as entertaining or successful as Marvel's Thor. 752 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,800 It certainly didn't help that Sci-Fi's already disreputable track record. 753 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:19,800 Disreputable? 754 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,760 What did they do? 755 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,960 This to me is coming off as a Marvel fanboy right in this. 756 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:31,000 But you cannot, you don't have rights to the actual Thor character. 757 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,000 I saw that movie. 758 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000 It's absolute ass. 759 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000 Yeah. 760 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000 It could be a horrible movie. 761 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,420 It is a horrendous movie. 762 00:35:37,420 --> 00:35:43,200 You can call it, say like this version of Thor is not good, but it's not a ripoff. 763 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,440 Like there's been Thor movies forever. 764 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:53,020 Marvel doesn't own and even in the actual image of that, he doesn't even look like the 765 00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:54,020 other Thor. 766 00:35:54,020 --> 00:35:56,160 His hammer is way, way bigger design. 767 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,160 Yeah. 768 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,160 Completely different design. 769 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,040 His clothing is a like a fur. 770 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,720 So it's not even like as guardian of Marvel type stuff. 771 00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:07,160 It's kind of hard to copy that. 772 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,680 We have one that they consider that one that actually worked. 773 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:16,760 They're saying Batman Beyond is a ripoff of Spider-Man, the animated series. 774 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:23,240 What the plucky kid with the powers and I guess maybe they put following the success 775 00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:27,760 of the animated Spider-Man TV series in the 1990s, the team at Warner Brothers decided 776 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,820 to follow suit by creating a similar formula with their own series, Batman Beyond. 777 00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:35,240 Instead of following the classic adult Bruce Wayne, like most Batman series in the past 778 00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:40,000 did Batman Beyond was set in the distant future and start 16 year old Terry McGinnis who became 779 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,300 the new Batman. 780 00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:45,040 This is extremely similar to the Spider-Man series as both of them followed a teenage 781 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,760 superhero fighting crime as each of their respective comics, most popular superheroes. 782 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,080 It's difficult to dispute which show ultimately became the most successful. 783 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,960 So it's safe to say that each series was fantastical in their own right. 784 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,520 This is, was undoubtedly a ripoff of Marvel that actually worked. 785 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,320 Man, that's a good show. 786 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:07,760 Batman Beyond, I thought, but if we're following the same guideline where they're saying like 787 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,440 a 16 year old with powers taken over, what about static shock? 788 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,440 Just shock. 789 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,440 But is that a ripoff now? 790 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,440 Like, no, good. 791 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,440 Well, I don't know. 792 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,520 I'm saying if you're following their formula, know their what a ripoff is. 793 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,520 Who cares? 794 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,520 I love both shows. 795 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,960 I love all three shows. 796 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,480 Static shock. 797 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:33,000 The Batman one, no, the Spider-Man one from the animated show, a teenager, man was like, 798 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,920 he was like 45 and 20 at the same time. 799 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:36,920 I know. 800 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,960 Like, I don't know, this age you fucking flip back and forth. 801 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,720 Look like a full grown 30 year old. 802 00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:44,720 Like, yeah. 803 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:48,960 It's like Aunt Mary, I got bills to pay. 804 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,080 Like he's been working a job for 20 years. 805 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,280 Yeah, like nowhere near a fucking teenager in my head. 806 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,080 Maybe it was spectacular Spider-Man. 807 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,080 That's a good show too. 808 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,960 We have another one that's a pathetic attempt and I kind of agree with this one though. 809 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,320 This is actually what I do agree with. 810 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,000 Atomic skull is a ripoff of Ghost Rider. 811 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,000 Atomic skull. 812 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,600 It kind of, it's kind of a ripoff. 813 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,280 Just a little bit. 814 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,440 Ghost Rider has always been one of Marvel's most successful anti-heroes since his first 815 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,160 appearance in 1972. 816 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,480 Whether it was, whether it was his flaming skull for a head or the impressive motorcycle 817 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,520 that he rode. 818 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,960 Many seemed to click from Marvel's readers. 819 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,360 DC's have noticed this and created their own version of the character in 1978, Atomic 820 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:36,840 Skull, which much like Ghost Rider in abilities and appearances, simply had flames around 821 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:42,440 his head to be colored purple or green instead of Ghost Rider's orange. 822 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,840 At times Atomic Skull has been shown with a motorcycle in case the connection between 823 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,640 the characters wasn't already clear. 824 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,640 Atomic Skull has a scooter. 825 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,960 Rather than being an anti-hero like Ghost Rider, Atomic Skull has always been depicted 826 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,960 as a villain. 827 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,960 Unfortunately, Atomic Skull never seemed to click with the readers the way Ghost Rider 828 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:06,720 did and rarely appears as more than a background character in DC Comics today. 829 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,880 Number three, we have one that actually worked again. 830 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:17,840 Supposedly, okay, they're claiming Dr. Fate is a ripoff of Dr. Strange, but listen to 831 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,840 the explanation. 832 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,840 Okay. 833 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:25,240 To put, whether or not it's DC's Dr. Fate was actually a ripoff of Dr. Strange's 834 00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:32,560 Disputable as Dr. Fate's original appearance was in 1940, 23 years before Dr. Strange's 835 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,560 first appearance. 836 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,560 Okay. 837 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,280 But his ripoff, remember that? 838 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,280 I'm following. 839 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,280 Makes no sense. 840 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,280 I'm trying to travel. 841 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,280 I'm following. 842 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,880 Like you have Superman as a ripoff Captain America, doesn't it? 843 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,640 The catch is that Dr. Fate was never more than a background character for DC before 844 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,800 Dr. Strange was created. 845 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,480 Once Dr. Strange became a hit for Marvel, DC started giving stories to Dr. Fate, hoping 846 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,800 that Marvel's readers would read about Dr. Fate as well and right they were. 847 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,920 Dr. Fate actually became quite the hit for DC. 848 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,160 Well, unless you're talking about what we just talked about in the last episode of Black 849 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,720 Adam. 850 00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:14,880 While he isn't as well known today as he was during the height of the 60s and 70s, 851 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,320 Dr. Fate used to be a well-known name in the comic book world, at times being more successful 852 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,040 than Dr. Strange himself. 853 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,960 Had Marvel not created their Sorcerer Supreme, it's likely that Dr. Fate wouldn't have made 854 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,860 its appearance in the 60s at all. 855 00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:33,320 So they're saying because of the popularity of Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate became more popular. 856 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:39,240 They figure that if they gave more attention to a minor character, right, that it would 857 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:40,960 be, I guess, well, I don't know. 858 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,320 But they call it a ripoff. 859 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,800 If the character was created 23 years before. 860 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,360 I don't know. 861 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:53,280 Yeah, you copied us, although we probably copied you and then made it more popular. 862 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,280 Who knows? 863 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,240 So again, like I said, whoever's writing this for Screen Rant loves Marvel. 864 00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,680 We're down to the last two here. 865 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,240 We have a pathetic attempt. 866 00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,640 The DCEU is a ripoff of the MCU. 867 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,640 There's no dispute there. 868 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,640 I mean, yeah, we all know that's what was happening. 869 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,960 They did a horrendous job of it, too. 870 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,480 Yeah, yeah, that one I agree with. 871 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,800 And then they have number one, one that actually worked because I'm not going to go into the 872 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,000 DCEU and the Marvel we know about. 873 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,000 We know that. 874 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000 Let's wait for the DCEU. 875 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,920 See how they do it in 2025 when the official start with the Batman or Superman, Madden 876 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,200 Tomorrow, I think is what it's called. 877 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,640 We have one that they say that actually worked, though. 878 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:45,040 They're saying the Red Hood plot twist was a ripoff of the Winter Soldier plot twist. 879 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,520 When did the Winter Soldier plot twist happen? 880 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,520 They do not mention. 881 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,040 I thought they came way after. 882 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,680 Bucky Barnes being Winter Soldier? 883 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,640 Yeah, or they came before. 884 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:56,640 I think it came before. 885 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,920 For that matter, I don't know by how much. 886 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:04,200 Oh, wait, that was like oh six or something when Red Hood started showing up. 887 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,200 Oh three. 888 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,200 Oh three. 889 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,000 Well, but I will say it could be possible. 890 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,480 The Red Hood plot twist was much more interesting than the Bucky Barnes one. 891 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,480 Yeah, I know. 892 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:14,480 I'll give a shit about Bucky Barnes. 893 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,480 No. 894 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,480 Well, the Red Hood. 895 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,480 OK, it's Jason Todd. 896 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:24,040 He got his ass kicked, killed by Joker, and then he comes back like Bucky Barnes. 897 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,600 He was he was 100 percent killed by fans. 898 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,880 And DC was like, fuck you. 899 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,880 Take this down your throat. 900 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,560 We're bringing him back. 901 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,400 And they've been having a deep throat ever since. 902 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,720 All right. 903 00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:39,520 That is all the Marvel ones. 904 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,300 We'll get through these DC ones pretty quickly here, though, because they're more common 905 00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:45,160 since than the other ones. 906 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,500 Those were written by the Marvel ones were written by a Marvel fanboy that was trying 907 00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:50,680 to stretch on some of these. 908 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,640 The rest of these are kind of more. 909 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,960 OK, that makes more sense. 910 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,880 Number 15, we have a pathetic attempt. 911 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,640 Hawkeye is a rip off of Green Arrow. 912 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,200 That's always been the oldest time. 913 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,200 Exactly. 914 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,640 See, I don't even have to dispute it. 915 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:05,640 We know it's true. 916 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,160 These are just objective. 917 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,320 And Hawkeye has never been as popular as well until maybe recently. 918 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,720 But he was never like in comic books as popular as Green Arrow. 919 00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:20,160 Green Arrow was always a part of Justice League and stuff like that. 920 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,000 We have one that actually worked. 921 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,240 Deadpool, the direct rip off of Deathstroke. 922 00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:29,280 They keep saying that, but the guy that wrote Deadpool said he was not. 923 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:36,040 He was into the fact that Deadpool, his name is Wade Wilson. 924 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,040 Deathstroke is Wade Wilson. 925 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,040 I don't want to dispute that. 926 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:49,800 They had to change Deadshot's name in the news with the Will Smith Suicide Squad. 927 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,040 Because it also had like a Wilson or something like Sam Wilson or some shit. 928 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,640 Fucking wild. 929 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,660 They all love Wilson. 930 00:43:56,660 --> 00:43:58,520 We have another pathetic one. 931 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,520 Quicksilver as a rip off to The Flash. 932 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,600 The Flash appeared in 1940. 933 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,120 So that's a long time ago. 934 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,120 Another one that actually worked. 935 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,600 Thanos is a rip off of Darkseid. 936 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,160 Thanos is Thanos now. 937 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,160 Exactly. 938 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,160 And Darkseid. 939 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,560 That movie didn't work. 940 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,800 And the thing is, Darkseid was a good character. 941 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,180 Like he was pure evil. 942 00:44:23,180 --> 00:44:25,560 Like Thanos had a plan. 943 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,200 Darkseid just wants to destroy shit. 944 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:32,480 Thanos was like I just want to make half of these people gone. 945 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,200 And Darkseid wants the anti-life equation so that way everybody will be his slave. 946 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,200 So he doesn't want to kill you. 947 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,200 He just wants you to be his slave. 948 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,760 Man, that's a lot of slaves. 949 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:42,760 Another pathetic attempt. 950 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,440 We have Hyperion as a rip off of Superman. 951 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,040 Hyperion, yeah. 952 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,040 Or Sentry I believe. 953 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,160 He doesn't really get much play as often as... 954 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,160 No because... 955 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,160 He's really powerful. 956 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,160 Yeah. 957 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,520 And didn't he have a Darkseid too? 958 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,520 I think so. 959 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,280 He has like a weaker form. 960 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,040 Kind of like the Hulk. 961 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,480 Yeah, yeah he does. 962 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,120 Then we have another one that actually worked. 963 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,800 The X-Men were a rip off of Doom Patrol. 964 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,800 Were they? 965 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,800 Cool. 966 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,200 Didn't even know that until I read that. 967 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:21,080 They even had a character that was extremely intelligent like Professor X. 968 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,480 We have another pathetic attempt. 969 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,760 Gladiator was a rip off of Superman as well. 970 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,040 Gladiator, one of those... 971 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,040 The Shi'ar? 972 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,040 Oh, that guy, yeah. 973 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,200 I think that was the alien group. 974 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,200 Yeah, the Shi'ar. 975 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,200 Yeah. 976 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,600 Another one that actually worked. 977 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,520 Ultron was a rip off of Brainiac. 978 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,400 I guess. 979 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,080 Ultron was a robot made by Hank Pym. 980 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,080 Brainiac was an alien. 981 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,080 Yeah. 982 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,080 But still like I guess... 983 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:54,080 Robotic, I guess? 984 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,000 Yeah, there's like robots or artificial intelligence. 985 00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,520 We have another one that actually worked. 986 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,800 Vision is a rip off of Red Tornado. 987 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,200 I think that's true actually. 988 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,200 Yeah. 989 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,720 I think they even said that somewhere. 990 00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,120 Yeah. 991 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,960 Red Tornado debuted in DC Comics in August of 1968. 992 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,600 Vision on the other hand didn't debut until two months later in October of 1968. 993 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,240 I mean this color scheme, everything's kind of the same. 994 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:24,240 Another pathetic attempt. 995 00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:27,520 We have Boomerang is a rip off of Captain Boomerang. 996 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,160 I didn't know there was a Boomerang character in DC Air Marvel. 997 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,160 Yeah. 998 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,160 Yeah. 999 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,160 One that actually worked. 1000 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,480 Sandman is a rip off of Clayface. 1001 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,080 Nice choice. 1002 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,080 Yeah. 1003 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,520 He became more popular than Clayface. 1004 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,920 At least in like with Spider-Man. 1005 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,960 Nowadays, yeah. 1006 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,960 Yeah. 1007 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,360 Another pathetic Black Cat is a rip off of Catwoman. 1008 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,360 Yeah. 1009 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,360 Man, she's just... 1010 00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:00,040 She's got it all. 1011 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,920 Another pathetic one, we have Night Thrasher, which is a rip off of Batman. 1012 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,920 Night Thrasher? 1013 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:05,920 The fuck? 1014 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:06,920 Yeah. 1015 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,080 Night Thrasher was created as a dark suited martial arts trained vigilante who would often 1016 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:16,720 hunt criminals at night and was skilled at making his own technological advancements. 1017 00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:19,680 So that's basically a pure Batman rip off. 1018 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,000 Then we have another Batman rip off, Moon Knight. 1019 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,000 Ah, Moon Knight. 1020 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,520 They took that. 1021 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,720 They took the basic concept and completely... 1022 00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:33,680 Well, yeah, if you know Moon Knight, you know Moon Knight. 1023 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,400 And then we have the last one, one that actually worked. 1024 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,000 The Avengers are a rip off of the Justice League. 1025 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,000 Yeah. 1026 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,680 Well, man, it was Stanley by himself. 1027 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,880 He had to copy somewhere. 1028 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,640 He was just charting them out. 1029 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,920 It looks like Justice League was formed in DC Comics in 1960 while the Avengers did not 1030 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,920 assemble until 1963. 1031 00:47:54,920 --> 00:48:00,240 I forgot their fucking Avengers song. 1032 00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:08,160 Man, it goes to show you how little effort sometimes it feels like they take in the writing. 1033 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,160 Yeah. 1034 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,920 But just always remember, Solomon Grundy... 1035 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,200 Was born on a Monday. 1036 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,560 All right. 1037 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,840 That's all on those lists. 1038 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,480 Like I said, the ones that were ripped off from DC are kind of more blatant. 1039 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,480 A little bit. 1040 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,480 Just a little bit. 1041 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,480 What are you going to do, sew us? 1042 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,480 Yeah. 1043 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:32,520 The ones that were ripped off according to Screen Rant by Marvel, a couple of those were 1044 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,800 a little bit of a stretch and you're probably going to pull something if you go with a stretch 1045 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,800 for that far. 1046 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,080 But other than that, anything else to add before we head out? 1047 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,880 Yeah, I haven't had that kind of sex scene in this movie. 1048 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,760 It haunts me to this day. 1049 00:48:47,760 --> 00:49:11,040 We'll see you guys on the next one.
