Did Anyone Notice The Similarities Between These Comic Book Characters?

These two not only look similar, but their powers are nearly identical. They both boast superhuman strength, durability, flight, regeneration, self-sustenance, shape-shifting, intangibility, invisibility, telepathy, telekinesis, extrasensory input, and optic blasts.

It’s hard to think how these identical superheroes even made it to the pages of some of the most popular comic book series of all time. Their crazy similarities probably led to some rough name calling aimed at the other company. But hey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose.
