Blue marvel.
By the way he not a superman rip off.
None are.
They are inspired and i do consider them superman rip off.
Hyperion is the most similar to superman on the list however.
Note- If sentry/void then it would be him first,but that is not normal sentry,so if i count normal sentry then i put blue marvel first at the list.
Bye.

Normal Sentry beats Blue Marvel into a pulp, if he feels like it.
Also on topic: The Plutonian wins, even though he isn't even on the list.

origins, background,
Superman is the classic “strange visitor” type character.
Comes from somewhere else, be it a planet or dimension, with innate powers.
Shazam is the “wish fulfillment” type character, where a normal person -becomes- the hero, via a magic word, formula or other plot device.
Miracle Man and Superior as an example are CM types. Thor himself originally dell under the CM umbrella. Utraverse’s Prime was famously a CM type.
Characters like Blue Marvel, WS Apollo, and even Supreme, are not Superman -or- CM types.
They fall under “exposed to energy/take part in an experiment and become altered” umbrella.
^^^Well that leaves Captain Marvel out. Superman is the classic “strange visitor” type character. Comes from somewhere else, be it a planet or dimension, with innate powers. Shazam is the “wish fulfillment” type character, where a normal person -becomes- the hero, via a magic word, formula or other plot device. Miracle Man and Superior as an example are CM types.
Superman is a adolescent wish fufillment with sexual tension (ie ,Lois, based on Siegel's crush) where Cap was targetted more toward pre adolescent children.
Captain Marvel is a fantasy version of Sueprman with a twist -- he's a kid instead of a nerd. Nothing more.
Thor himself originally dell under the CM umbrella.
Nope.
Utraverse’s Prime was famously a CM type. Characters like Blue Marvel, WS Apollo, and even Supreme, are not Superman -or- CM types. They fall under “exposed to energy/take part in an experiment and become altered” umbrella.
Bwahaha... Apollo - a sun god character whos a flying brick in a blatant Worl'd Finest parody isnt a Superman ripoff ..lmao! And Midnighter isn't a Batman ripoff eh ? 😂
Blue MArvel is a blatant Earth 2 Superman analogue.
Supreme is so blatantly a Superman ripoff that it's laughable. He was called that in his first issue!
Anything to deny Superman's influence when it comes to people who hate the character.

Jerry Siegel:
" Clark Kent grew not only out of my private life, but also out of Joe Shuster's. As a high school student, I thought that someday I might become a reporter, and I had crushes on several attractive girls who either didn't know I existed or didn't care I existed. So it occured to me: What if I was really terrific? What if I had something special going for me, like jumping over buildings or throwing cars around or something like that?
One night, when all the thoughts were coming to me, the concept came to me that Superman could have a dual identity, and that in one of his identities he could be meek and mild, as I was, and wear glasses, the way I do. The heroine, who I figured would be some kind of girl reporter, would think he was some kind of worm; yet she would be crazy about this Superman character who could do all sorts of fabulous things. In fact, she was real wild about him, and a big inside joke was that the fellow she was crazy about was also the fellow whom she loathed. "
