I just counted once if the char inspired more than one character. [/B]
Interesting list.
I wonder about some of them that were so close together that with the publishing lead time some sort of insider information would have to be involved, as otherwise they could not have copied the characters and got the comic on the racks so quickly. There has been some debate about that with DP/X-Men. Same with with Polaris/Magneto and Tornado/Vision.

^Deep down he does. Like he also acknowledges that DBZ Son Goku is also inspired by Superman.

Also the Man-Thing and Swamp Thing. Can it be that the creators used to talk with each other, friends or something like this or they took their inspirations from a similar source? Pulp Fiction etc.

Yeah, Man-Thing and Swamp-Thing both came after Heap (? or some other swamp guy) so they were both kind of inspired by a previous comic. And Heap was inspired by some short story about a swamp muck creature from earlier still.
There have definitely been some claims over the years that creators did talk or leak various things here and there. Otherwise some of them just seem like downright bizarre coincidence.
