I don't know about the others but Hyperion didn't appear until 1971, so Superman is hardly a rip off seeing how he appeared MUCH earlier.
No , Snoop is stating the others are ripoffs . Mathematical signs ya see....

How do you base a rip off though. The only thing people like this have alike is their powers, their completely different otherwise.
Super-speed and weather control are hardly mind-blowing, complicated powers that, if another another character even has something close to it, they'd be considered a rip-off no matter how different they are.

That would make Flash a Mercury rip off even if the only thing they have in common is the speed as main power.
