After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there's something about uncovering these "swipes" that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.
Derivative heroes were big bucks in the 1990s. Iron Man had War Machine. Thor had Thunderstrike. Spider-Man had Scarlet Spider. Captain America had U.S. Agent. Superman even had four replacements! Ghost Rider got Vengeance and the hero took over the book with issue #46 - its cover harkened back to issue #1.
