Gladiator. Blatantly so.

This is easily Gladiator.

1. Gladiator's name, Kallark, is a combination of Superman's Kryptonian and human names: Kal-El and Clark Kent.

2. Alien with Superman powerset, weak to a specific form of radiation ala kryptonite.

3. Has a female cousin Xenith ala Supergirl, has a male son Kid Gladiator ala superboy

4. Has a team the Imperial Guard similar to young Superman's team when he was part of Legion of Super-Heroes

You guys are all haters I have never seen a more original and unique character than Gladiator.

One homage drawing doesnt make him the winner here, but thats a keeper!

5. Red capes, red, blue, and gold costume

He's literally called Kallark = Kal-El + Clark.

Hyperion is the closest


Yes he is. Utterly and completely.

Blue Marvel is not.

Based on what exactly? Definately not comics. Sentry was a drug addict with personality disorders who has an ill defined powerset.

Clark is a boyscout alien from another world.

Sentry = Terrified of his powers
Clark = Always under control

Sentry if anything is based off Miracle Man...not Superman

The one called 'Kallark,' which I believe is Strontian for Clark. I'd also be interested in exactly what type of radiation it is that he's vulnerable to.

I believe that stromium radiation is what it's called.

And I think Hyperion is vulnerable to something called argonite radiation.

Yeah but Supes is scared of his powers too when you get right down to it, that's why he developed the mental blocks.

Sentry is totally a Superman clone. There's differences to be sure, but theres a lot of similarities too. Kal was completely the inspiration for the character.

From many uses of his power, posture, costume, even many of his character story points were just extrapolated or altered versions of Superman plots. He married a double L that happens in all the Supes characters names. His wife is Lindy Lee, as opposed to Lois Lane or Lana Lang, or Lex Luthor, etc.

Golden Guardian/of Good vs Big Blue or Metropolis Marvel

^^^Wrong.

Read Red Glass. The basis of the post Byrne Post Crisis Superman s personality and subconscious mindset culminating in DoS( and later reemphasized in the Loeb/Berganza era with No Limits-OWAW) was that he his worst fear was losing control and going insane with acces to his full power--which would give him casual top tier killing power.

Sentry is a Superman subplot. Nothing more.

Oh and Superman has the original ill defined power set. Always has. And still does. Superman s concept is : "peak of human evolutionary potential". Not just strongman, though that's his primary power set.

Yep, and it started even before Red Glass.

He kicked himself for merely accidentially breaking a hoods jaw. One of Luthor's big plots was to bathe him in solar energy by satelite and make his powers go out of control.

Eradicator's influence manifested in him simply beating up crooks slightly easier then Batman would. 🙂

Hulk.

Apples and oranges. Supermans fear is based on his world of cardboard viewpoint. Hes a normal guy with extraordinary power who doesnt want to hurt anyone UNLESS he has to. But when he has to he will. He is by all means not a pussy. Or mentally incapable. Whereas Sentry has been mentally unable to act or simply wiped away his existentence so he wouldnt have to act.

Huge difference

No he is not.

Youre too focused on the superficial aspects (s symbol, tights, flying brick bs) and not the character. Senty/Void is an homage to Miracle Man/Kid Miracleman. They are both middle aged fat blond guys. Both have/had sidekicks. Their stories start out the exact same way. Sentry performs "miracles" . MM performs miracles. Both have fights that leave millions dead...etc

Not A Superman clone
