BARRY PEARL'S TWO OF A KIND...

A little bit of fun here.

This really began in 1961 when the Fantastic Four came out.  Everyone thought they were a 'clone' of the Justice league, but I thought they were a clone of the Legion of Super-Heroes. There was the Invisible Girl versus the Invisible Boy; Elastic Lad versus Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch versus Sun Boy!  (In 1961 I had no idea that there had once been another Torch).

Not knowing Captain Marvel, I saw Thor as being similar to Green Lantern. They both had to be worthy to get their powers, they both had time limits, and they both answered to a higher authority, off the Earth.

So here are some Marvel based copies/clones/swipes etc.  Can you name them? (Yeah, I know that Sub-Mariner made his debut before Aquaman, but humour me a little.)
