| May 9, 2018 at 22:45 | comment | added | Lorendiac | @VBartilucci (Continued from above) For a few years before that, Marvel had already been publishing a comic book title featuring "Luke Cage, Power Man!" as the main character. But DC hadn't noticed or didn't care. Stan felt this was blatantly unfair, and after that, Wonder Man started hanging out with the Avengers again! | |
| May 9, 2018 at 22:44 | comment | added | Lorendiac | @VBartilucci I once read an excerpt from an interview with Stan Lee. He asserted that at one point (maybe early-to-mid 1970s?) he had an agreement with DC's editors that DC and Marvel would not deliberately create brand new superheroes whose costumed aliases were "obviously based" on the well-established alias of a hero at the other company. (This was after complaints about "Wonder Man" having a name resembling the much older "Wonder Woman" concept.) Stan claims Marvel honored this agreement . . . and even quit using Wonder Man in new comics . . . until DC introduced "Power Girl." | |

| May 9, 2018 at 18:08 | comment | added | defy | @vlaz Yes and no. Her character first appeared in comics having just stolen Carol Danvers powers (using her mutant ability to steal powers/personalities). So, story-wise, she didn't originally have flight or super strength, but she had them in her first appearance in Avengers Annual #10. She also eventually loses the stolen abilities. | |

She lost her powers after a fight with the mutant Rogue somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard this is why Rogue can fly and has super strength. I'm mostly familiar with her from the animated series and that wasn't actually discussed to my knowledge). Supposedly, she originally just had the life force/powers/something stealing powers as seen in the X-Men movie.

So is Ms. Marvel, actually - someone (probably in the legal department) at Marvel became worried that some other company could create characters with "gender-swapped" names of their heroes, as they had with Wonder Man. So they hastily created female versions of The Hulk, Spider-Man, and Captain Marvel. | |
| May 9, 2018 at 15:38 | comment | added | mr.eaver | Well i'd be lying if I said I wasn't confused anymore. There's a lot to take in for this one character. Still, this answers what I wanted to know. Also I did wonder about DC's captain Marvel but didn't know how to fit it in without sounding like i'd be asking too many questions. He too had a lightning bolt symbol. So that clears that up too, Thanks | |
