Is Goku a ripoff of Superman

Lol Its Supes ADOPTED son. He cant procreate because he has a weak sperm count

That's funny, because in the Superman movies continuity he has a kid, in kingdom come he had a kid with wonder woman, precrisis superman had twins with lois, and in the A-Ko world he once again had kids with Wonder Woman.

Two different dispensations he's had kids with Lois, two other ones he had kids with Wonder Woman.

He has at least 5 different kids in different continuities...

^^But he doesnt in the continuity that matters

I'd also like to bring bring up Superman Secundus from JLA #1,000,000. Main continuity right there. I imagine it's still cannon as as soon as anyone lets Morrison near JLA or non all star superman he'll bring it up again.

there is no such thing as an original idea. There are some glaring similiarities between Goku and Superman. I wouldnt say Goku is a rip off though. I wouldnt even suggest that Superman had much influence in the creation of Goku's character. These type of savior-esque characters always share the same traits and in animation...,usually the same type of abilities as well.

If you want to see a prime example of what a rip off looks like. Look at Marvels Apocalypse. That character is blatant rip-off from DC's Darkseid. From the name of Darksied home planet to his character design. Marvel was not very inconspicuous in their rip off. Though, A-poc is much cooler so its all good

You don't think that Apocalypse might have anything to do with the biblical apocalypse what with his horsemen and all?

Apocalypse the same level of threat as Darkseid... Darkseid whom rules a planet and Apocalypse who can't seem to win?

Superman is greater than the X-men you know... in terms of power.

So what does that leave us with? Oh yeah they both have purple skin... 🙄

I guess if they have the same color skin they must be ripoffs of each other...

Yes they do. Aside form some wires a bit more armor. Both look like different artistic interpretations of one another.

Darkseid imposes the same amount of threat to Superman, as Apoc does to the X-men. Darkseid was Supermans most threatening enemy at one time. Darkseid always brought a dreadful tone to the Superman comics. One that was appreciated by fans through sales. Marvel needed a new villain as the fans were losing interest in Magneto. Its been a common thing for MArvel and DC to both take a page out of each others character and sales strategies

By the way, A-poc also reigned over a planet. 🙄

Personally, the character design, traits and the time of which A-poc was introduced to Marvel is FAR to similar to one another. For me to think that A-poc was not influenced by Darkseid

Actually The designs were alot more different...
The only things you have going for your argument is that they both wear blue.

other than that what do you have? Darkseid has a nose, and a purpleish hue to his skin. Apocalypse doesn't have the same color of skin as DS as it turns out.

Megalomanical personality trait?

Guess Doom and Magneto of old were both ripoffs of DS as well... but oh wait... old Magnet butt first appeared in the 60s. DS was in 1970.

Guess DS ripped off Magneto (whose only similarity is their personality trait of a desire for power...

Or rather Dr. Doom whom came out a year before that...

Goku is such a rip-off of Superman! and here's why:

-His Father was a Scientist

-He was rocketed to earth as an infant from a doomed planet which blew up(even though it was because of Freiza, but it blew up none the less)

-He was raised, in the country, to be a humble, kind-hearted being, who later grew up to be Earth's greatest Protector.

-He has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

-He even died and came back!(albeit like 4 times)

And since Goku is indeed a copy of Superman, and we all know that a rip-off, no matter how indavidually successful, is never greater than the original, Superman would win a fight. And besides, even if you didn't talk about the rip-off-osity, Superman would win because we can see that for all his blurred speed, Goku has never broken the sound barrier(Superman can do that walking). Goku had to struggle to stop that big rock Freiza threw at him(We all know Superman woulda' super-blew that thing back at him), and Superman can withstand flying through a star!, we al know goku would have no chance of doing that.

👆 Finally, a new guy who knows what he's talking about

^^Only cos he's a superman dickrider. if he said that Goku was stronger you would have benn like "OMG not another troll", "GTFO Troll", "are you a dupe"
