Because, what... this is all that you took from everything I just listed?
It hasn't sunk in yet? All this sh1t, it was all found in one short novel published in 1930. All before a single issue of Superman had ever been published: [list]
[*]the same exact originally delineated four super-powers: leaping, super-strength, above train running super-speed, and below heavy artillery durability;
[*]the same blatantly plagiarized "ants/grasshoppers" analogy for those super-powers;
[*]the same manifestation of super-powers when a baby down to the wrecked furniture;
[*]the same type of upbringing; including the
[*]the same moral compasses to do good with your powers when the time is right;
[*]the same hiding of those powers from the public even when publicly humiliated and bullied;
[*]almost the same exact same childhood home setting;
[*]the same childhood experiences and clumsy/tragic fumblings with powers growing up;
[*]the same original true feats of super-strength;
[*]the same random adventures -- and this sh1t is random... except when i isn't: like confronting selfish politicians, playing collegiate football, working in a carny strongman act, and bullying a bunch of corrupt officers/wardens over their torturing of prisoners, da phuck and this is just looking at the first 10 issues of
Action Comics;
[*]similar globe-spanning lifetime experiences, such as heavy involvement in world war;
[*]the generally same frikkin appearance; and
[*]other cosmetic similarities like man of iron/steel parallels, etc.[/list]
Somehow... in your warped mind,
Batman-Prime, Philip Wylie's
Gladiator and the featured Hugo Danning character published in 1930, had "minimal" impact on Superman who was published in 1938. Your own words. You had the gall to say that from the start? And you manage to gloss over all this by only acknowledging the super-strength and invulnerability?

Nice try. But look at what he posted. Seriously, I can expand this list.Superman is male, has eyes, blue eyes, hair, black hair, he has legs, he is male, he has muscles, he has parents, no... they are dead... no they are alive,... no he is an orphan... he wear a cape... no forget the cape and costume... he has a secret identity... no forget this.... he is strong, like hercules, i mean glads...
It's funny.
N1gga, please. I'll accept your present inability to fashion a coherent response and drooling stupefaction over everything that's been laid out for what it is:
you didn't know sh1t about Hugo Danner. And even if you did, you'd never admit how essentially tied he is to Siegel/Shuster's original Superman because you're butthurt that Siegel/Shuster could so blatantly rip off a single character on so many levels, in so many ways, both abstractly and minutely, bot implicitly and explicitly.
You really think you can utter the Greek legend of Heracles in the same breath as Hugo Danner? When did Heracles rip apart steel vault doors, lift cars over his head, be specified to run faster than a train or have below artillery-level durability, you mental midget?

Not what I said. Superman was inspired and eventually incorporated Hercules, Samson, Moses and Jesus themes. But he was a blatant ripoff of Hugo Danner. One fact is not mutually exclusive of the other.
