You do know that questions should end with a question mark correct?
Yes I know about Bardock and Gine sending off their son from king Herod.

What about his krypt... Ehm vegetan name, zod.. Ehm vegeta and his brute and girl, the SUPERsayin part? Ok kal... Kakarott has developed flight, superstrength and a low level of invulnerability but granted, these days everyone got this. AT created a Superman mockery before DBZ, later he wanted his own Superman.
Are we assuming that DC has a trademark on aliens having different names from humans? The parallels between Zod's gang and the Saiyans are a stretch. And yeah super powers are nothing special. Goku's longer hair making him stronger is way more immediately like Samson than Superman is like Samson.

And i don't mind the influence tbh, it made DB more awesome. Goku is unique enough.
Sure it is fine. Nice enough way for Toriyama to bring in Sci-Fi to the series. But the implication that Supes is the source for Goku is misleading, just like how Jesus is not the source for either. There is nothing new under the sun and all that jazz.
Fun fact: My name is Samson and because my name starts with an S I have several items with Superman's S on it. All one big circle man.
