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)

Ben 10 has more than a few aliens based on other properties. But one of the most blatant goes to Way Big, who is based off of Ultraman. Whether it be his gigantic size, his color scheme, the head fin, you name it. And as time went on, it became even more obvious. It's revealed that Way Big's species name is To'kustar, a play off of tokusatsu, the style of Japanese special effects that Ultraman helped pioneer. He also has the ability to fire a laser by crossing his arms, just like various Ultras. And then Omniverse decided to just give him a Japanese accent.
