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?

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a Daredevil parody/love letter.

    They get their powers from the same accident that gives Matt Murdoch his.

    Mentor? Splinter / Stick. Enemy? The Foot / The Hand.

      Except it’s not.

      You’ve spotted some surface similarities, but they’re most likely coincidental or unconscious influences at best. To my knowledge the creators never said Daredevil was a major influence.
