Characters [Fun Trope] Legally Distinct Characters

What do you mean this character has a lot of similarities to another, it’s totally a different original character (essentially parody characters or characters that it is very obvious where the inspiration came from, I’m gonna just do a bit where I pretend that they are totally not, okay, also I left out a fun one on purpose because i thought it would be more fun for the audience, I think it’s fun when they have to go around and make their own when its obvious whose it is supposed to be.)

Characters:

Agent Spider from Invincible:

What do you mean this character is similar to any Marvel character, just because he’s got spider abilities and is voiced by Josh Keaton, doesn’t mean that its Spider-Man

Rorschach from Watchmen:

This character may have a faceless mask and wear trenchcoat and fedora but that does not mean he is a knock off of The Question

Creature of the Clergy from Its Bunlith! The Witch Upstairs!

Okay this character may have some resemblances to other characters but it has a fluffy tail so it is in no way the Cleric Beast from Bloodborne

(I have no idea of the actual name of the last creature so I made my own, please let me know if there is one)

Insert NotZilla example

“It looks like Godzilla but due to international copyright laws, it’s not”
