radiant always struck me as being a silver surfer type as opposed to a manhattan one.

marvel has a copycat of surfer within their own universe?
Since he was mentioned: are there any obvious Surfer copycats (ie, simple design, rides a special platform)? Is it possible to design a platform-riding character w/o it being a Surfer rip-off?

I heard that Kirby put Surfer on a board because he was sick of drawing spaceships. Good call Jack.
Then again, given that everyone else in the 60s was flying around in fancy spandex, the simple "natural" look was quite unique. It's hard not to see later characters like the Radiant or Manhattan (or the Fallen One w/o hair) as copycats.
