I think it's meant to be shaped like a medal, but I'm not entirely sure.

Later versions of the character have a more typical shield shape.

This is wrong for so many reasons

First: Legacy characters like Flash and Vision don't have the right dates to them. Vision's original introduction was in the 40's if you want to count it that way and Barry Allen certainly wasn't introduced in the 40's

Second: Deadpool wasn't made in the fucking 2000's

Third: Gladiator is a goddamn Superman Analogue. That's the whole fucking point of his character

Fourth: NONE OF THIS VALIDATES WHICH IS BETTER, ITS JUST FUCKING SAYING A LIST OF YEARS THAT'S SUPPOSED TO MEAN SOMETHING

That's literally it. Ben was the most popular Fantastic 4 character, and Stan didn't want to put him in a spinoff.

I used to think that Deadpool wasn't that much of a copy of Deathstroke. You know, besides the name and profession and everything.

But then I actually started reading The New Teen Titans and they're exactly the same fucking person. Constantly cracking jokes, being witty, Slade even constantly uses babe. Slade has gotten more serious over the years, but before that point he was pretty much Deadpool. How did Marvel get away with this?

Cause Deadpool is a parody, they even outright mention that multiple times before
>>
>>81834008
What kind of a "parody" is a near exact replica of the character in the other comic?

I obviously know he's a parody of Slade but I'm wondering how they were allowed to be so similar after actually reading his earlier comics and learning of Slade's character.

Stop trying to push this meme retard, he was just a straight knockoff as expected from a hack like Liefeld.

Aquaman is a rip-off, but not of Namor.

Aquaman ripped off The Shark.

Of all the powers they could have gone with for a mutant, and there were MANY options, they go with super speed just like another popular comic hero? Like not just fast, but that's his main powerset? Yeah, knockoff, just the same as any flying brick with a cape was a knock off of Superman. Quickster was a more of a parody/homage to, you ready for this? The FLASH.

Thanos wasn't created by Jack Kirby, and Thanos' creator himself admitted that he knocked off both Metron and Darkseid when making him.

Hyperion isn't just a clone like Shazam, but an obvious wink and nudge to who he was supposed to be.
>>
>>81834505
Yes, and?

Just because Thanos was a Darkseid knockoff doesn't mean Mongol isn't a Thanos clone.

Still my favorite knockoff chain btw.>>81832099
