When the comic industry was young, they borrowed from each other. How else can you explain Shazam! aka Captain Marvel has some of the same powers as Superman?

When the comic industry was young, they borrowed from each other. How else can you explain Shazam! aka Captain Marvel has some of the same powers as Superman? They still copy, Deadpool Wade Wilson was a rip-off of Deadshot Slade Wilson. Sometimes they just change names and appearances. I created original characters for a comic book, but they were too boring to print. So being original does not always work. "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." Picasso
