What comic books, movies, and TV shows are blatantly copycats or rip-offs of previous comics, movies, or shows, but despite being a copycat or rip-off, are still pretty good?

    While the characters are based on Charlton Comics characters DC had recently acquired (Dr. Manhattan ≈ Captain Atom, Rorschach ≈ The Question, Nite Owl ≈ Blue Beetle, Silk Spectre ≈ Nightshade, and possibly also Quality Comics’ Phantom Lady and DC’s own Black Canary, Ozymandias ≈ Thunderbolt, The Comedian ≈ Peacemaker), Moore’s story is mostly original, inasmuch as stories can be.
