maybe if their images were force fed to kids before they learn to speak they'd have equal sales

yes we can.... but who is it you think "my character" is exactly?
🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
you do realise that you're the one who brought up the point of popularity though... as if being popular makes a character better
and i didn't whine ... i just pointed out a fact.... why are you taking this personally?

Relax, I'm messing around as much as you are. (At least I hope ur just fooling around.)
🙄 x infinity 🙂
And its not just popularity. To maintain that many things happening at once, you have to be pretty damn interesting.

Green Lantern and Magneto have super-strength? I never knew that! 🙄
Galactus has zero in common with Superman. Martian Manhunter is about as humanoid as Beta Ray Bill, who also is no Supes clone.

Oh my gosh... I'm one of the biggest Wonder Man fanboys out there and I didn't even mention him. Props to you Roughrider for mentioning him.
Wonder Man has practically all the abilities Supes has, except he's powered by continuous self generating ionic energy. Superman lite to be exact. He CAN shoot beams from his eyes. He can fly. The more focused or angry he is, the higher all his physical attributes grow, similar to that of the Hulk. He as the potential to become everything Count Nefaria is if he learns to utilize his powers efficiently. He can alter his size similar to what Atlas does but can't use as long as Atlas does or it'll make him crazy. Oh, he's also immortal. He's called himself earth's immortal protector at least once. It's also theorized(Not proven yet), that if he is killed, or obliterated, his body will reform over time due to ions being everywhere and anywhere.
Oh, Count Nefaria also seems to be a clone of Superman as well.
I will try to be even more specific here, because some people have taken the tack that every super-powered character is somehow a clone of Superman, because he was arguebly the first.
Beyond some similar abilities, there is the image of being well-groomed, photogenic, carrying an air of majesty, and the atitude of a straight arrow, wanting to serve the common good, feeling tied to society. Confident but not arrogant - not one for bad-ass I-do-it-my-way tactics.

Simon's been killed before, hasn't he? And he pulled himself together again?
Count Nefaria: When is the last time we heard from him?

Well Batman is a Superman clone with no powers....thats like if Superman is under the red sun.
No...the two of them are like reflections in a broken mirror. DC plays up this duality by having Clark and Bruce look almost exactly alike. But Clark is sunny and optimistic, and by the book. Bruce is angry, repressed and distrustful of most authority, and looks at Clark as a well-meaning but naive and overpowered amateur. Clark thinks Bruce shouldn't be so embittered all the time.

Yeah Simon has died at least a couple of times before. He supposedly died when shortly after him betraying Zemo since the side effects of the ionic treatment was that he would die within a week. But he was in a coma of sorts that rendered his body inactive. His other death was accredited to a blast from a Kree Ion Cannon. The resulted explosion of pure ionic force practically disintegrated him. But his soul refused to go to the afterlife because at that time, he was in love with Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch supposedly brought him back to life. Nefaria has been been blown up before after the battle with the Avengers and Thunderbolts, he was leaking ionic energy due to the ionic lock gun, and he practically exploded just as he flew out of our atmosphere. Yet, there he was on the Raft. WM, Nefaria, and possibly Atlas might have the ability to reform themselves after death.
Count Nefaria was one of the prisoners that got away from the Raft in the New Avengers. I think a showdown between Nefaria and The Sentry is inevitable.

the thing is... though most of those guys have similar powers to Superman (which is to be expected since he has most of the best powers going) hardly any of them share any character aspects in common with Superman
