His back story is nothing at all like Superman. Neither is his personality or skill set. His array of powers is based around anti-matter. He flies, is strong, and has/had a cape. If that's all it takes to be labeled a Superman clone...el oh el, I guess.
Hyperion, Gladiator, and Sentry are closer to being clones than Blue Marvel is.
Considering no clone has the same personality as superman and the basic nature of their power is different than superman(Gladiator😛sychic, Hyperion:nuclear, Majestic:inherent, Sentry:Too conflicting etc), its lolworthy to think that just because BM gets his powers from anti-matter and has a distinct personality, he isn't an expy. But jake is a captain marvel fan, so I can get where he is getting this from.😛

Dafuq?
Gladiator is a direct homage to Superman, and by extension of the Imperial Guard, the Legion of Superheroes.
Hyperion is a direct homage to Superman, and by extension of the Squadron Supreme, the JLA.
Sentry is a solar based/themed hero designed to be the "ultimate hero" in the Marvel Universe, much like Superman is in the DCU.
Majestic is pretty goddamn obvious.
What the hell kind of homage is Blue Marvel supposed to be? Hell, all of those other clones have mirrored power sets, even if their sources are different (hyper senses, heat/laser vision, etc).

The nature of how their powers work may vary but generally the power sets are the same or similar. Super breath, heat vision, invulnerability, super strength, heat/laser vision, weaknesses to specific wavelengths of radiation, enhanced ocular abilities etc. Hyperion and Glads are blatant Superman types. I wouldn't consider Adam that just because he flies and is really strong. But each his own brother.

These powers and traits aren't necessary to a superman archtype. The primary powers of a superman archtype are strength, speed, flight and invulnerability.
That's a pretty narrow definition brother. By those parameters every dude that's strong, invulnerable yet can't fly is a Hulk archetype.
