He's high on the list of offenders. It's been other creators that have made characters like Supreme & Deadpool interesting. And Cable has one of the worst designs in comics.
I understand they sometimes do deliberate analogues to do something interesting the other company doesn't, but still...
I'll submit Mongul - he's a less interesting copy of Thanos.

is this about simply most un original or copies of other characters that simply fall short at being anything but a copy? cuz Gladiator might be something of a copy but over time became his own char. same with a few others like mongul who sure you can connect dots to thanos but acts and has his own elements all his own.
so is it just any copy, or the failed copies in this thread?
I wouldn't go so far as to say he was based on Triumph, just implemented in a similar manner.
No arguments that it probably would have been better if Sentry had followed Triumph's path more closely and gone to obscurity (to the point that Triumph died implicitly off panel because no one cared enough to move him when the Hall of Justice got destroyed with his statue in it) rather than become one of the most important (arguably at the moment THE most important) characters in the MU.

Dont mind people stealing someone's ideas as long as they further develop the character. Take Deadpool for example. Started as a Slade rip off but can you call him a copy?
Sentry's not that bad. Although the whole multiple personalities thing's been done to death.
Now Rulk is one of the most un-original, basically the smae Hulk, except Red. Yay...
