In Tales of Suspense #82, the Super-Adaptoid takes the form of a character called "Agent Axis" with Captain America stating his familiarity with the character. What's odd about this is that Agent Axis was actually a DC Comics character who debuted in Boy Commandos #1 in 1942, it seems Stan Lee mistook the relatively obscure character for having been in a Marvel comic instead. Has this ever happened before with other characters?
There was that one time in one of the Punisher vs the Marvel Universe comics (the one where people got turned into feral cannibals), a character got accidentally drawn as a similar-named character from a video game tie-in
Yes, the artist was supposed to draw Hazmat from Avengers Academy, but appears to have looked online for reference and ended up drawing Hazmat from the game Marvel Nemesis: Rise of The Imperfects.
An artist for Marvel once mistakenly drew boring-yuri webcomic character Spinnerette into a "Spiderverse" group pic.
Yeah that was funny
Boring yes, but she is the only spider based hero that uses her webs correctly, from her ass.
This might actually have been Jack Kirby's fault for once instead of Stan Lee's, since Agent Axis was a creation of Jack Kirby in the Boy Commandos.
Yeah, it would make more sense for Kirby to be responsible
Yeah in Hickman's Avengers run the new Smasher was supposed to be the granddaughter of Dan Dare, who was never a Marvel character, because Hickman thought it would be cool to use a public domain character from the 1950s (should have been a big clue) as backstory for an otherwise extremely nobody character in his 19-member team.
Except that Dan Dare's not only not public domain, he's even sporadically being published with new stories. So the tpb had to write in some genuinely forgotten character nobody cares about because nobody bothered to check Hickman's work. Tom Brevoort said that even calling this Smasher a Dare instead of a Kane had been an error from the start, but he would say that, he probably had to deal with lawyers for a month after the issue came out. Just dumb, dumb stuff all around.
Why even bother with a public domain character when Marvel has dozens of forgotten Golden Age heroes she could have been related to?
Who even knows, half that run was badly drawn graphs instead of story pages.
It wasn't a mixup. Kirby created the character of Agent Axis and threw him in a Cap story as a self-referntial joke.
DC created the Elongated Man because they weren't aware they already owned Plastic Man, or so the legend goes.
Feel like that didn't help Elongated Man's popularity in the long run.
Oh, look. It's a shill from one of the third-world shitholes that starts bloody wars, then tries to shift blame and whines about EBUL AMERICA.
>the rest of the world:
NATO countries believe that the United States is the noble world police, post-2020
I know that you aren't, shill.
Either way get cancer, the world would be a better place without you.
Either way you're either a worthless shill or a demoralized fifth columnist, not worthy of living either way.
I am American and it's fricking common knowledge that your country was shitting itself over the US leaving NATO because that meant they would have had to provide for their own defense and no more US navy patrolling the seas and combating piracy. So for all the homosexualry foreign governments engage in criticizing America, they still beg for us to defend them and their interests while offering nothing in return. Parasites.
One: you're not American, turd-worlder shill.
You're a propagandist subhuman rat making up narratives to justify "West is le bad" bullshit and excuse and deflect from actual warmongers and genociders and now switching to "divide and conquer" tactics.
Two: You and your entire families deserve nothing but slow and painful deaths. Something I will pray for every day.
How are you coming to that conclusion? I said nothing of the west, I said Nato, Natoma has eastern countries as members as well you fricking moron such as Japan. There's no deflection over war mongers, your country leeches off of the US while at the same time whining about the US over some stupid shit.
>here's no deflection over war mongers
Uh-huh
>How are you coming to that conclusion?
oof, somebody needs to listen to more western english dialects
>us
Sure thing, rajeesh.
You aren't American
DC had the exact opposite happen, they created Elongated Man instead of just reviving Plastic Man because they didn't realize they owned Plastic Man.
this one is more of a rip off
pic related was intentional by the creator
This is Mantis, right?
What? Of course not it's not Mantis, it's Englehart's OC donut steel.
yeah
kind of related
Ha, but that's funny gag.
Does the name Wonder Man only exist so DC couldn't potentially use it?
dc did sue, so marvel gave him up until dc introduced power girl, when stan said frick this and brought back simon from the dead
Hot
Luane Cage's boobs are not big enough for that name anyway.
Another intentional one. Kyle Rayner used to have some real strange neighbors.
heh, nice
In Arrow season 5, one villain of the week is an armored assassin named Scimitar, who co-showrunner Wendy Mericle referred to as a "big DC universe character". However, there is no DC character named Scimitar, because as it turns out, they accidentally adapted a Marvel character
Is he even a big Marvel universe character?
At the time I wondered if they meant to use Scabbard from THRILLER. Which wasn't, as far as I know, set in the DC Universe, but hey, it might have made sense.
He would have looked pretty cool on screen, too.
